How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals
  • I honestly don't think there's much of a difference between these groups. Both have lots of people hating the guts of another group. And both are substantially radical in views. This all is just crazy

  • Anon doesn't measure up
  • Wtf? If you're short - people don't like it, if you're tall - people don't like it too, if you're of normal height - noone cares. So what's the point really in worrying so much about it?

  • Why are gnome devs like this?
  • Don't care about this whole drama that someone is trying to start. At the end of the day Gnome is just the most comfortable DE for me personally. Plain, simple, beautiful, no cascading dropdowns, no distractions. Customizable just enough. The next option would be XFCE, mainly for a great balance between performance and niceness

  • I never buy early access. People who pay for half a game are the problem.
  • True. The thing is, most of the people would never care and would preorder the next CoD, AC or whatever every time. Unless there's some huge scandal involved (the one that people talk about outside of Reddit)

  • 2.01 patch should be out tomorrow (10/5/23)
  • This. My last save is right next to the closed door of his place. Was hoping that somehow it will open the next time I load the game

  • Cyberpunk 2077 dev warns players to check their PCs' cooling ahead of 2.0 update
  • Holy crap. The only thing I wanted from this update is better optimization, and they instead are warning that things will get worse

  • The weirdest thing about living alone is how many hours you go without speaking a single word.
  • Talk to yourself. You can even do that in foreign language if you're learning it - it helps.

  • Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 detailed: what's free, what's not?
  • For some reason I had terrible FPS drops in the original Cyberpunk from time to time - had to reload the game every half an hour or hour to restore FPS. If that would be fixed - I'm in. Liked the game otherwise, so all I need is some new quests, which PL should provide

  • Stop using Brave Browser
  • I use Brave as a second browser (mainly to separate different activities) and did not have any issues with it apart from dragging tabs between monitors (it creates an additional empty tab sometimes when doing this). Turned off all unnecessary stuff right when I first launched it and that's it. No bloat, no issues, just works. Didn't know about this CEO controversy but seeing as it was a long time ago, don't think it's a valid reason to not use Brave. And both logo and name are cool.
    It's a solid option which we don't really have a lot of in open source space

  • Tankie
  • But you are an actual tankie! Stop gaslighting people into being afraid to call immoral tyrant apologists for what they are

  • ‘Your heart races a bit’: US weather man threatened with death for mentioning climate crisis
  • It's unimaginably stupid and sad. Those people will face the consequences of human-induced climate change. But you know what? They then will blame someone else for it - secret government experiments, reptiloids, migrants, you name it

  • Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges
  • Honestly, it does not look like Facebook did something wrong when you read the article. A pregnant woman used a medicine to trigger a miscarriage, then she and her mother got rid of the body. Police knew that they've discussed this in Facebook messenger. They contacted Facebook and received chat messages. Then police used those messages to incriminate women according to existing law. The only problem here is that a woman could go to an abortion clinic and do it properly and legally if not for obnoxious laws in some states. But that's a completely different issue

  • Every time I turn around, there's another damn Linux fanboy crawling out from under a rock
  • You know they'll go away if you switch to Linux, right?

  • The man in your mind's eye.
  • Stick man with black lines and white filling on a nondescript background. Building is grey. I am tired

  • Controversial topic but one that is talked about a lot on Twitter and gab.
  • It simply is incomprehensible to me how this can even be a controversial or debatable topic. I don't know if you're trolling or what, but racism is racism. And yes, historically oppressed groups are perfectly capable of being racists. So not to be racists ourselves we should apply equal standards to all groups.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • If those leaders are not newcomers, which is true for Putin, Erdogan, Orban, Xi and so on, there is also another reason. People understand that these guys would not just leave if people would try to vote them out. They will use election frauds, threats and then open violence. So these attempts to overthrow them either fails at the beginning or would lead to violent turmoil which is highly likely to end up with bad guys winning and tightening the grip even further. A lot of people just want to save those bits of freedom and comfort that they currently have instead of risking it all for the sake of possible (but not exactly likely or guaranteed) better future. If you live long enough in such societies, this starts to work even on subconscious level.

    Just look at Hong Kong - people were living in a relatively free society and they revolted against creeping injustice, revolt was violently crushed and society destroyed. Now people would be much more hesitant to even vote for alternative candidates (even if there would be any) because they know or suspect where it may lead

  • Is lemmy.ml just a tankie recruitment zone?
  • Well, I guess we should consider it as one of the trials of freedom. Either you live in a walled garden, or you have to be conscious about what you're interacting with and exercise critical thinking. If you don't want to be associated with genocide supporters - don't register on tankie instances, or even don't subscribe to any content from them. It should be a personal decision of every user (or instance maintainer for that matter - defederation is also an option, simply because instance maintainers are also people).
    Another important thing is to speak up about it - to raise awareness, so to speak. It's perfectly reasonable to state what the worldview of tankie admins is - in threads like this, as well as on other platforms. I was considering lemmy.ml as Reddit replacement at first, but saw a comment on one of the Fediverse sites and digged more into this.

  • [UserScript] Federation Awareness
  • Great job, thank you!
    Just one thing - it would be great if these rules would not work on strictly moderated instances themselves because there is no point of such highlighting there. We can configure it in userscript setting in UI. But it's better to have such logic right in the scripts itself. So far I have just added this additional condition to the block at the end:

    if (isLemmy && !isStrictlyModerated(window.location.hostname)) {
    GM_addStyle(...

  • Reddit officials forces moderators to reopen subreddits or get overthrown
  • How could someone force mods to reopen? Blackmailing? Or they just really don't want to lose control over subreddit (and possibly see it "shittified")?
    I also wanted to write just how stupid it sounds and that things like that were impossible on the forums of ye olde internet - but actually they weren't, admins could do anything if they wanted, lol

  • How big is gaming in linux?
  • I wouldn't call myself a hardcore gamer. Only play on weekends and almost exclusively SP games. But so far experience is great (Pop OS, NVIDIA GPU, medium tier gaming laptop). Steam games are mostly playable without serious issues (adding some launch parameters or choosing certain Proton version might be advisable for certain games). Emulation also works nice (tried PPSSPP, RPCS3, Yuzu, Cemu). I would say that gaming on Linux is fine, unless you really need to play one of the not fully supported titles (especially ones with those pesky anti-cheats). Couldn't care less about RTX or HDR (would not work well even on Windows with my rig).
