As someone who didn’t vote for the Cheeto Nazi, thank you for the nuance.

That said, comment OP and anyone reading this - please boycott and sanction the US! Starving the billionaire leeches and smacking government into pretending they have an iota of decorum or sense is necessary, and any outside influence on that is helpful.

In a fucked up way I lol’d at this. If I put on my tinfoil hat I’d say the USA is encouraging China to “spy” on us so they have to absorb the brainrot. Poor bastards

Well wipe my ass backwards and call me biscuit; I have been informed today.

Apologies, I should have added the sarcasm tag. /gen

Case in point is that Amazon will try everything for profit except not be cunts

Everything, including:

• giving a shit about the customer and having them permanently own their own games, even DRM-free like GOG?

• Not forcing online connectivity to access the library?

• Not shoving ads and spyware into the rest of the Amazon platform?

• Appealing ethically by paying all employees a living wage?

• Prioritizing innovation in expanding native Linux compatibility?

🤔

Yep this is, at least so far, a “the bastards can’t crack in from the outside so they’re trying to get you to hand over your account.”

Mildly reassuring but clickbait titles gonna clickbait.

Yeah those first couple paragraphs were just “ADHD/autistic woman behaves like an ADHD/autistic woman. Time to blame her for using accommodation equipment!” (Not actually Dx’ing her, but I recognize a lot of my own patterns here).

Like for fuck’s sake let us have our small bits of sanity. Tuning out the constant hell that is everyday life is not a sin.

Stare into the void long enough and it starts to meow at you for food.

I don’t quite understand what you’re getting at here.

EndeavourOS represent! 🪐🚀 Much easier install plus some pretty sick wallpapers, all without being hostile to users like Windows is some proprietary operating systems.

I wonder if that’ll help fix Sunshine/moonlight being finicky with PS controllers on Arch-based systems. (Though idk if the AUR drama is still a problem)

Arch

I had to look that up to fully understand it.

It didn’t even occur to me that the recursive naming was a math or logic thing. I’m just happy to have freeware/copyleft/etc licensing because fuck corporations ¯\(ツ)/¯

The anarchist in me wants to agree with you but my brain is having a hard time parsing what you’re saying.

One can only hope they’ll have the mind/willingness to.

If you’re a “well acktchually” type of nerd who adores exceedingly granular control over things like choosing from twelve different versions of a driver via a command text box, then Arch is for you.

I say this as a user of an Arch-based OS; EndeavourOS is probably the closest to user-friendly as Arch gets but it still requires some nitty-gritty. Don’t worry too much about which choices you pick during installation though since it doesn’t really matter as much as it pretends to.

KDE Plasma is a desktop style close to that of windows that Arch usually defaults to, where Ubuntu’s typical desktop style is closer to Mac.

That said, once you get past the pain in the ass hurdle of figuring out your big basics in the command line, installing packages (programs/apps) is pretty easy. You can also use something called Flatpak which is like an App Store and usually easier for installing stuff.

This started out as a joke but turned into an essay. Thanks for bearing with me.

Yeah I can hear the slurs from here.

Imagine trying to throw a lawsuit at a rodeo for video game patent infringement

So tight it resembles a sphincter.

That’s also a fair point. The other side was always listicles and quizzes and celebrity gossip which is never high quality. Now it’s just the slop + AI.

Regurgitated articles from 4 years ago still pop up on my Apple News app (I only use the free stuff though). They can’t even make new content.
