refutation? No, I was joking.

You don’t joke by saying you are insulted or by saying someone is being condescending. Again, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt – perhaps some language barrier.

You can’t just explain to people their feeble minds are being manipulated. Like trump supporters…

Funny you say this when half of the platform is people trying to do just thaaaaaat.

Come on… You are the one saying you would not use social media with fascists and tankies. You are already “looking away”.

Huh?

I am thinking there are some language or cultural barriers here, because the last comment wasn’t me trying to insult you. It’s a direct refutation of your remark about russian agent, and the comparison was meant to complement the earlier statement (that people can unknowingly support something detrimental).

Just saying that I am not the one claiming everyone (that I dislike) is an [insert any country/organization here] agent ;) But people can be misguided into supporting something that is ultimately detrimental to them – see also Trump supporters.

That’s the kicker – you are not even being paid when you are contributing to their cause.

With that mindset you might as well give up on the whole internet. (not that it’s a bad idea.)

ITT: a mighty showcase of the divide-and-conquer strategy by psyops.

Instead of realizing that our goal as an alternative community to Reddit is first and foremost to… well duh, to build a community and keep it thriving, people here are infighting, preferring to subdivide themselves into tankies and non-tankies.

If Lemmy eventually fails and no other project with a similar feature-set can show up in time, we end up killing the existing momentum.

If that happens, all of you shall remember this very moment, and bravo to the psyops people (be it from the government or corporate) because you won yet again.

Donated. Though because I am living in a third world country it’s just a measly ~25 dollars.

I was agreeing with you at first – that the protest has no meaningful effects unless it is prolonged – but I stopped here:

Sometimes I think of alternatives to combat capitalism, but they always turn out to be 10 times worse.

Market socialism.

I think there’s one key thing you missed: you have never bought a copy of the game on Steam! It’s always been a license. Valve simply made the fact clear now because of legal changes.

so the next question, is this retroactive

So the answer for this is a solid no.

For many systems out there, /bin and /lib are no longer a thing. Instead, they are just a link to /usr/bin and /usr/lib. And for some systems even /sbin has been merged with /bin (in turn linked to /usr/bin).

A question is a question… Just answer the damn question without judging it.

Better let someone know what the thing does instead of forcing them to experiment with it and (possibly) break it.

If proper SATA ever goes away, I’d wager that there will still be SATA-to-USB adapters on sale. Heck, people still find ways to connect floppy drives to their modern PCs.

The reason why English sounds so different from its relatives like Dutch and German.

Also, icons. The icons in Windows XP are too recognizable. You need to minimalize them. In fact, minimalize it so hard that not one person could understand what the icon is even referring to.

But personal files are… personal?

Research journals are published. Public.

Also remember it was built with tools from the 70s. Which is probably an advantage

Definitely an advantage. Even without planned obsolescence the olden electronics are pretty tolerant of any outside interference compared to the modern ones.

I have seen it before on various social medias. Some are mad about their slang (“frfr” or that skull emoji), others being mad about their memes and some such.

Funnily enough, I saw pretty much the same comments being thrown on millennials during the 00s.

Some things never change.

You need to enable DRM KMS on Nvidia.

Mine is simply default KDE. The only visible thing I’ve changed is the wallpaper – changes to my desktop mostly concentrate on the “invisible” ones like shortcut keys or setting changes or scripting.
