- Comment on Gaming on Linux, How openSUSE Stacks Up for Gamers 1 week ago:
Hard disagree. Mint had far worse performance than Pop OS for me. Not sure why, I had proper drivers in both cases… Just saying, installing steam is not all.
Nowadays I recommend Bazzite for gaming
- Comment on Never in my life has it been harder to control my spending impulse than this moment 1 week ago:
I’m confused, hating Kissinger is not a tankie thing?
- Comment on son, happy birthday 2 weeks ago:
I’m not a biologist but there is no way in hell that a virus can be as big as a living organism right? That’s probably not a bacteriophage
- Comment on Reddit slop 2 weeks ago:
Mate, the reposts were by far not the worst thing on reddit. I can live with reposts
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 2 weeks ago:
sure, patriarchy is systemic/cultural and also plays a big role though
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 2 weeks ago:
in some places people of certain skincolors or descents are more likely to commit certain crimes so that’s not really an argument.
The better argument IMO is that the racist versions target discriminated minority groups, while this one targets the group that is generally not the victim
- Comment on Why we need term and age limits 3 weeks ago:
I’ll flip this around a bit and make a less exaggerated version:
Half the problem is that many politicians were born in like 1960 and still think that necessary spending only consists of rent and groceries.
The society we’ve built since then requires much more. Without a smartphone you can barely be a functioning member of society sometimes. Lots of places you have to own a car and pay for gas to get anywhere. The list goes on.
And what about social needs? There is no neighborhood bar to go and chill without spending money. There are like no places where you can go and exist for free anymore. Capitalism and especially neoliberalism has robbed us of third places.
These politicians (or their voters) may remember a time when they could exist somewhat comfortably with a low wage. That’s just become much harder, so if rent is like half of your income nowadays, that no longer means you have the other half just for leisure spending.

- Comment on USians - Uh, *we've all seen this* right? 4 weeks ago:
Like, sure. But anybody could have wrote this. Is there any evidence? If they wanna be a whistleblower, then do it. This is, unfortunately, kinda useless

Okay wild guess here goes. Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Tryptophan.
Did I get any of em right?
- Comment on Me after I accomplish literally anything in Hollow Knight [Day 49] 4 weeks ago:
A game I enjoyed much more than Hollow Knight was Crypt Custodian - it’s not as hard but very cute and still quite challenging. I highly recommend it!
- Comment on Steam has the best UI 5 weeks ago:
Good design doesn’t have to be bland, and what does this have to do with dark patterns?
IMO the desktop Steam client as well as the gamescope have some pretty confusing UI. Once you get used to it it’s fine but that’s the case for any shitty UI. Except Gamescope, which is buggy to traverse by controller (which is what it was designed for lol)
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Mastodon is also open source and decentralized, trying to turn it into anything else will meet so much resistance from the community, Mastodon will likely just get forked.
- Comment on Mastodon’s founder cedes control to non-profit 5 weeks ago:
exactly 😭
- Comment on Mastodon’s founder cedes control to non-profit 5 weeks ago:
Just having a sarcastic rant :D I like Mastodon but have trouble convincing my friends to join even though I think it aligns with their principles

what’s the original text on the comic
- Comment on Mastodon’s founder cedes control to non-profit 5 weeks ago:
I can’t wait to tell my fellow radical leftist friends about this amazing move that aligns with socialist and anarchist principles! Really looking forward to them coming up with excuses to keep using X and not even create an account on the mastodon instance I host for us! /s
- Comment on iykyk 5 weeks ago:
dodecane has a 12 carbon chain. The longest chain here is 10 carbons, which would be decane.
- Comment on "Free" Speech Absolutist™ 1 month ago:
It provides evidence of the above. The post doesn’t even say “I asked Grok this and this is what it said”, it’s literally “people” who supposedly asked it and supposedly got answers like that.
- Comment on "Free" Speech Absolutist™ 1 month ago:
why post an insubstantiated claim instead of just screenshotting the grok response? I want to believe this but it seems completely made up

my grandma: the computer
- Comment on We need to go back! Back to the terminal! 1 month ago:
Android uses the linux kernel. It has little to do with what we actually mean when we say linux IMHO

Can you rephrase their argument? To me it’s nonsense
- Comment on Imperialism, authoritarianism and oppression is bad all around m'kay 2 months ago:
Nicely done. Barely read the meme, missed the point, built a strawman, had an imaginary argument and called OP a liberal. 10/10 perfect form. Can I interest you in an account at lemmy.ml?
