I have been scrolling on the front page for a couple of minutes now, and I was going to write that it's literally all conspiracy theories, but that's not true, there's also some "sponsored" posts AKA ads sprinkled in.

What a sad joke.

If you think the fediverse is too centralized, you can always host your own instance. You get all the same "free speech" benefits (plus no free-speech ban on drugs and porn), without having to put one foot into that cesspit of a site.

Edit: oh, and that has to be the worst moderation system ever devised - at least if you are a woman or any kind of minority. Good fucking luck in finding a random jury of users who will ever, ever ban a racist or sexist piece of shit on a platform like this. Come to think of it, that's probably the idea and justification behind the system: being able to loudly proclaim "we have a democratized ban system ensuring moderator overreach is impossible!" does make a great dogwhistle for "you can be a terrible human on here, don't worry"

  • has a dick so utterly ginormous that even the slightest bit of arousal drains a sufficient amount of blood from his system to make him pass out

Yeah. Everytime I'm for a visit, I have to show my mom again how to copy/paste things, access files on her USB drive, where to click to do an update,...

But she loves Bitwarden. Has been app consistent in using random passwords for logins, both on desktop and mobile.

Sorry, I though my comment was sufficiently self-humerous 😅

Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D

All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.

Don't get me wrong, that's also janky, but it's my ~~fault~~ jank.

I recommend using Usenet for German stuff, all the private trackers I have tried in the past were... seedy.

Yes, you need to pay for access to the Usenet, but it's worth it for German language audio IMO.

Check out scenenzbs.com, no need to pay to search there. Check if everything you need is available, though likely, it will be.

I have not had a failed download yet.

Noita!

Also the Dead Cells DLCs.

Generally I agree with everyone else, Linux Mint is great.

However, if you really want to not worry at all, you could just buy a laptop from e.g. Tuxedo or System76. They come with Linux preinstalled (I think in the case of Tuxedo at least, you even have a choice of which Linux Distro?), and are guaranteed to have no hardware "difficulties" with Linux, i.e. even if you put another distro on it, you won't encounter driver issues.

(Those have become very rare anyways, but do put a damper on the "Firsttime Linux Experience" if you do encounter them...)

And then the warlords steal the food and redistribute it as they see fit.

No, you are willfully misunderstanding my point.

There are still places in the world where slavery is legal, for fuck’s sake. Do you really, truly think things like this could still be true in 2024 if money and what/who you can buy/hire were actually the solution?

Absolutely.

Throwing money at solving the surface layer issues / symptoms is moot, but yes, for every new layer of problem you uncover you can ask "so what are the causes for that" until you reach something that can be fixed wit money.

Og, and I do not believe that this has anything to do with world peace. The nations on earth without hunger problems aren't peaceful utopias either, after all. But on the other hand, hunger does seem to cause a lot of instability...
