I found the quote interesting. Is the source material bad? How so?

But Qt6 is all the rage now so it’s still 1 step behind :(

Still fails to launch with the eternal “Failed to connect to headset display” aka error 109.

I also noticed that. Not sure what it means but I found it funny :D

It’s been so many years since I’ve heard that name. I hope they bring it back!

Oh no they’ve been “slammed”. That’ll show 'em.

Afaik the charges were just a tool fabricated to be used against him.
He exposed US war crimes and therefore they made him an enemy of the state and want to make an example out of him, to show others that when going against the US you have no rights - they can torture you, imprison you forever, etc.

It’s made of plastic.

Aren’t those acually useless when trying to determine the quality of water?

I’ve been looking for exactly the same thing. Sadly most filters I found are made of plastic, which I find outrageous.

I have a hot take on this one. I actively try not to. I disagree with the concept itself.
When it comes to buying their art, why would I do that if I don’t like the artist, why would I support them that way?
When it comes to seeing their art as their ideas/ideology/etc, if I don’t like them I probably don’t exactly because I disagree with their ideas, so again it doesn’t make sense to me.

This truely is the darkest timeline

Do you disagree with those statements? Do you need to see evidence before you’ll believe them?\

I disagree with them.
Higher life expectancy - I wouldn’t attribute that to capitalism. Further more life expectancy in the US is declining afaik.
Less war - What do you mean? There’s a war in Ukraine, one in Palestine, and there’s been perpetual war since …forever. The US war machine always bombs some country, assassinates a democratically elected leader, etc.
Better quality of life - For the 1% at the expense of all the others maybe.

Capitalism is all about profits, not about better products, better quality of life, etc. In fact it’s easily against those things if they get in the way of profit. You can see enshittification everywhere.
For example it would be against their interest for a pharmaceutical company to sell the permanent cure for a disease instead of life-long medical treatment. The latter would be subscription-based therefore create more profit. The cancer comparison is quite fitting imo.

It’s cancer and it’s killing us all.

As someone who’s only owned Androids, it’s just a different walled garden. It’s a duopoly instead of a monopoly.

You can’t really own your phone whatever you do. Even if you root it all your important apps like banking ones will stop working so there really isn’t a choice.

You’re in a Linux community here man, you’re going to be outnumbered. I think people here genuinely don’t rely on Windows stuff as much as you think.

Last time I needed Windows was a few years ago when I wanted to do a firmware upgrade to my guitar processor. In the meantime I upgraded to one that itself runs Linux :)

I think lots of people exaggerate their need for certain apps. I understand if you need Photoshop for work because it may be the best tool for the job and an industry standard, but some people swear they “need” it when all they do is apply blur or red eye reduction to a picture once every 3 years. Nowadays you can probably do that in dozens of other ways.

I’ve been Linux only since late 2015 and in this time I “needed” a Windows VM ~ 2 times, but ofc personal experiences can vary greatly.

Awesome!

What a bunch of psychos.

I use KDE and it has desktop effects built in. One of them is wobbly windows, which I always enable. It has animations for switching virtual desktops too, but I don’t see the cube around anymore, maybe it needs to be installed separately.
