Convinience. I’m a gamer first and foremost, and more of a hardware person than a software person at that. I have a friend who games on Linux and I’ve seen the fights he sometimes goes through to make things run. Sometimes it’s great, and it’s awesome, and others… Well, we’ll lose a night or two before finally getting in, or deciding it ultimately won’t work.

I know there are distros to ease these problems, improve capatibility, etc., but when compared to Win10, which I am comfortable on and understand, it’s just easier to stick.

That said, I have my limits, and a forced Microsoft account is a hard no-go for me.

As an aside, if you have any distros that you think would allieviate/solve my issues, feel free to link.

We might be on the last version of Windows that I am willing to run.

“No, you don’t understand, if you just don’t think about the consequences of the things you say or do, this is really funny!”

You should genuinely be embarrassed to post this kind of stuff.

Ah yes, nothing like a little chauvinism to start my day. Women should be seen, not heard, amirite guys?

/s just in case.

Chuds: “people are exaggerating when they compare Trump to Hitler.”

ICE:

This is literally my “message received” emote.

If people thought it was rude, I’d be fired by now.

Yes? Should I not? “insta” as in instanteous, and “gram” as in a telegram. This is a name rooted in already understood language to give me an understanding of what it is at first encounter. Bard, same, something that tells a story, I’d assume. But I’ve never seen it before so /shrug.

“Lemmy” means nothing to me.

Fediverse is good. “Verse” to the end of anything suggests it’s own ecosystem, or “universe,” and Fedi for federation. Makes sense.

Of course he is. His entire wealth is rooted in arapatheid. The irony of him claiming to be a victim of racism is so dissonant from reality that I genuinely struggle to find good words to describe it.

Except now the app pushes ads to you through notifications.

You should probably not try to swallow a red pill that large. You’ll choke.

Because a marginalized group has never been misled to accept and excuse abuse before. What a fuckin’ take.

Not sure what you mean by my “own house.” American white women are a demographic I’m displaced from in a number of ways.

Thanks, SatansMaggotyCumFart. Enlightening as always.

They are.

Marginalized groups can be more or less marginalized than others. That does not make them powerful relative to the rich-ass white men that run the world through financial influence alone.

Ya’ll motherfuckers act like just cause women can vote now, sexism is “solved.”

Missing Fern Gully, but a pretty good list nonetheless.

Your best bet is to be in a lot of instances. My experiences so far is that basically any singular instance has its bias’, and while some unapologetically ban users for disagreeing with them, the ones that don’t still down vote for disagreeing with them.

While one of these forms of censorship is worse than the other, it’s all censorship, and the only way to see a variety of views is to stay in the varying instances.

I’m not sure I’ve ever stumbled across a worse opinion. Amazing. Well done.

I don’t have TikTok, but if you do, isn’t this easily verifiable? Just go try searching one of the relevant terms.

Eh, I suspect most of those Russia/China fascism lovers posing as “leftists” are mid-30s white dudes, and as a mid 30s white dude, my grandmother was alive during WWII.

The options remain the same, though.

This is so much more reason that these tankies deserve tbh. I appreciate you taking the time to put it into words.

These people should actually try talking to foreigners, students and immigrants. The picture Ukrainian refugees and Taiwanese students paint is a lot less forgiving than the completely unsubstantiated, pseudo-intellectuslist “but that’s CIA propaganda” arguments these authoritarian “leftists” like to throw around. I’m sure such first-hand accounts would be as readily dismissed, mind you, because the goal is clearly not to have an honest discussion to begin with.
