Nah. Tankies are wrong, but they’re also powerless. Conservatives actually have power though, and are extremely dangerous.

lemmy.world has some very power-hungry and boot-throating mods, especially when it comes to this.

Yeah. I haven’t looked at the code that closely, but it looks like they account for various differences between distros.

Your “evidence” was from a YouTube video that doesn’t cite the source of the emails either, and I trust that as much as anyone should trust a Twitter screenshot. If you had a link to the actual emails that said that, I’d change my mind, but you’re being really weirdly defensive when simply being asked for a better source than an uncited YouTube video.

Well, you made the claim, so 🤷

Short of evidence for your claim, I’ll roll with the fact that, to my knowledge, there has never been a case of an itch.io game being bullied out of being cheaper than its Steam version.

If you have a link to the actual emails, rather than a YouTube video for it, I’d be very interested in that.

That only applies if you’re selling Steam keys in the other store. If you sell access via other means (like direct download), you can price them however you want. Hence, thousands of itch.io games that are cheaper than their Steam versions.

lol. I don’t like systemd, but this is just a modified version of the GNU/Linux copypasta. It’s just a light-hearted jab at the fact that systemd does so many things on Linux systems that it’s almost as important as the kernel and GNU utils.

I don’t actually know much about Poettering, so not much to say in that regard.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as systemd, is in fact, systemd/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd system made useful by the systemd services, journald and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Poettering.

Many computer users run a modified version of systemd every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd init service, developed by Lennart Poettering.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete init system. Linux is normally used in combination with systemd: the whole system is basically systemd with Linux added, or systemd/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/Linux!

I’m afraid to update ever since they removed the collapsed tab sidebar option, which was the entire reason I used Zen. To be fair, the dev brought it back after people complained, so they listened, but the fear remains 😬

Unfortunately, no, but you can get kind of close for Debian distros with LURE.

EDIT: Apparently LURE is supposed to be distro-agnostic, so it’d probably work for EL too.

Arch really does have the most straightforward packaging system. Can you write a Bash script? Cool. You can package your application for Arch very easily.

I just hate snaps because they’re dogshit and don’t fucking work.

I made the unfortunate mistake of doing sudo apt install docker dotnet -y on a dev machine, thinking that I was going to get correctly packaged deb installations of those two tools.

After about two hours of having neither fucking tool work, I found that Canonical highjacked the deb installation with their shitty snap packages, which didn’t fucking work thanks to the shit sandboxing that snap tries to do.

Don’t fucking waste your time with Ubuntu. It’s an actual liability.

I really hope South Korea does the right thing and puts their tyrant under the jail (figuratively speaking, of course).

AI slop article.

I get so god damn sick of seeing “new, entirely preventable, zoonotic plague is getting close to human transmission” articles that, yeah, I can’t help but say something.

Fucking carnists will act surprised and upset every time something like COVID-19 happens, without it even once occurring to them that confining biological vessels into small, inhumane conditions might have dire consequences for human animals too. Now we have a new entirely preventable plague about to start spreading in the US 🤷

I just desperately want more new games like Crash, Spyro, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, etc. 😭

The only thing we’ve gotten in the decades since then was A Hat in Time, which was absolutely terrific, but the lack of other good games in this genre pretty much killed gaming as a hobby for me.

Absolutely correct. Imagine being pro-liberation all the way up until it involves putting something else on your plate. It doesn’t make sense.

You’re right, and it’s such a bummer that Waymonad isn’t a thing. No other window manager or DE comes close to XMonad for me. i3/Sway are way off, IMO.
