  • You can always use the Steam flatpak since Valve packages their Linux runtimes seperately within the client. I might be wrong, but flatpak should solve mismatched version/depedency hell.

    You could also use declarative package managers like Nix or Guix to also avoid this same issue.

    Don’t worry, Linus Torvalds has also complained of the same thing when asked whats holding back the GNU desktop.

    Anyway, KDE is better than gnome! Thanks for reading!

    Based KDE enjoyer vs. Pog GNOME fan moment. Also, you’re wrong but also right in so many ways.



  • Since you’re also getting a desktop PC I highly recommend sticking with just ethernet and not messing with wifi firmware/wifi cards. You should also skip bluetooth as well.

    If you want to play proprietary windows freeware/drmware you always have Bottles, Proton, Lutris, GOG etc. If you are forced to use a VM gpu passthrough for a game, then that game is not worth playing because the developers don’t care (why should you then?)

    If you want an instant plethora of games you can always look into sophisticated emulators that allow you to insert shaders/upscale graphics rendering, always a good use of a powerful GPU to play retro games on a 8K resolution on vulkan.












  • I’ve grown up under a communist government in a socialist republic…

    Huh? That’s a very roundabout way of describing a communist state. Where do you come from specifically? You can count communist states on your fingertips.

    ideology, like all ideologies, is scary for its intolerance and disregard of human nature…

    I don’t think that’s what the word “ideology” means. Also it’s dangerous and unproductive to off-handedly remark on “human nature.” It’s a bad faith psuedoscientific buzzword that’s rooted in uncontextualized historical analysis. Nothing happens in a vacuum.

    I will therefore gatekeep any pure ideolog, just to save my own faith in humanity.

    Again, I’m not quite sure what this means. I think you’re conflating a lot of things here that just don’t make sense and I dont want to make any assumptions about you. No community can ever be immune to reactionary politics, but thats not the same as rejecting “pure ideology”


  • To most of us, we see “dictator” before we see “asian guy”. You’re not attacking the picture.

    Damn you just didn’t “see” the racism so therefore it cannot be problematic. But since President Xi is a “dictator” that must mean that people who are calling me out for racism must be the ones at fault because they’re protecting a big evil man. Most people “agree” with you so therefore it must be “not racist”.

    I can tell you never worked through dismantling racist imagery that wasn’t spoon fed to you by a 24/7 news entertainment cycle.


  • image in question

    Ah, so this is the person you’re referring to. In that case, yeah his arrest was warranted. It turns out you can’t just spread fatphobic and racist imagery around in American social media networks and not expect to eat shit.

    Posting three of the same headline piece is also meaningless, all three of them are obvious western sources. Your first post of RFA also ruined your credibility. We don’t overlook that.

    The CPC take measures to prevent reactionary content from being proliferated. This is normal for a country.

    He was also only sentenced to 6 months, hardly life shattering. Meanwhile rabid disinformation campaigns in the US are facilitated or outright encouraged by standing political officials.
