I suspect pissing about copying a mass of text into an AI to have a 70% chance of getting an actually correct answer is probably harder than pressing Ctrl+F

We’re mainly waiting for you to say “Yes, I was wrong, Hexbear doesn’t shill for Russia/China/DPRK and call them communist utopias, and I guess tankies is kind of a meaningless term.”. I think that was the point.

It’s a collaborative effort. The Wine and Vulkan projects have all done a lot and deserved credit for doing massive, amazing things. But for Linux gaming specifically, Proton has absolutely changed the landscape, and if Valve continues down this path, will make Linux an ever better gaming platform. So I don’t think it’s unfair to say thanks to Valve.

I suspect I’ve undiagnosed manic-depressive disorder, but either way I get heavy existential dread for 1-4 weeks straight, then reoccurring again in 1-3 months. I also get similar pressure from my industry. So I do feel you :(

You occasionally see studies that include mention cost of manufacture - For instance Cuba technically has lower emissions per-car mainly because the embargo has forced them to constantly repair cars rather than get new ones. Not aware of any mention of the other facts like maintenance and city planning though, would be cool to see more data about it if it exists.

Honestly, for what little it may be worth, I appreciate your view here. I think if we had this kind of attitude in moderating such behaviour, it alone would go a long way to making for friendlier and more constructive discussions for all.

I couldn’t have said this better myself. All I have to add is shaun_vids’ seriously detailed (and long) compilation of all the information we have regarding the decision of of dropping the nukes. The conclusion is that the Japanese were already trying to establish surrender negotiations but were being entirely ignored, the US didn’t care and instead dropped both bombs as part of diplomatic manoeuvring and internal politics, they were well aware the war was already over and mainly just wanted to be seen as the ‘sole victors’.

Over 200,000 civilians murdered solely for capitalist posturing.

I’m genuinely curious as to why you think this is trolling? A serious point is being made.

She concisely made a very important point that is absolutely the central underpinning of class relations: “How do rich people get their money?”. That answer alone is justification for class war. She also put in some cute goose emojis which are just cool.

I’m not sure if you genuinely didn’t realise, but they already said they were Irish, So they clearly mean the United Kingdom. Which has indeed deliberately inflicted mass starvation and violent oppression on the people of Ireland for centuries.

Just to echo something the main post said - Seeing large images is actually a frustrating Lemmy bug that’s yet to be fixed. On Hexbear we only see a small, standard emoji-size image, so nobody is even aware that others are seeing it obnoxiously huge.

I’ve got to say, Steam’s native Wine/Proton implementation works decently well, and really entices me to buy games without native Linux support on Steam.

Absolutely fair point, you may well be right. I pretty much agree on all points.

I want to say ARP. Can I say ARP?

Followed by brrrrrrBRRRRRRRaaaaAAaAAaAKRrrrRKrrrKRrrkrKRrKrrKrRkrrrrrrrrrrr, in my experience.

It’s just unnecessary ignorance, think I’ll start using the term ‘United American States’ instead.

I-Is this serious? This is literally what The Pirate Bay is now.

This seems like the right take. It’s based on expectations.

Though slightly cliche, this just feels right. That niece has learned a great lesson about how collaborating to improve things is always possible, and that open-source relies on everyone doing their bit.

Hexbear is an explicitly left unity platform, MLs included.

They used the “Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking”, a pseudo-scientific test that measures and evaluates absolutely nothing of any objective measure or value.
