  they don’t arrest child traffickers and rapists.

  No no, it’s the child at fault for being at risk around them.

  Ok homeland security, good luck arresting all them AI bots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am looking for a Linux OS⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is fedora. Just a fedora install with some preticked boxes. That said there’s some differences to note such as nobara doesnt come with selinux like fedora desktop does. It uses apparmor. Which you won’t bump into an issue with until you install certain softwares. I think if you’re just gaming it won’t matter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am looking for a Linux OS⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Should be fine for the most part on any distribution. Just install lutris, heroic, steam. Wine and wine tricks and proton as your emulator.(glorious egg roll or latest is pretty stable)

  The only games I’ve had issues with so far have been an old game from bungee and maybe a few old ones from Ubisoft

  Right!?

  Like ohhh. So important to see if someone liked a post. Meanwhile tech espionage and terrorists take over the world.

  How dare we ‘radicalize’ over the idea of free Healthcare.

  Absolute sham of ‘protection’.

  Na that’s ok. I’m happy now with Linux. I’ve adapted. And now I’m thriving. Game surveys will be happily filled out to up that statistic of Linux use. Windows can take a miserable dive off a cliff while riddled with Russian STDs.

  Cool. Now do radon.

  Oh Turk.

  Also if you’re using windows and avoiding acrobat try Sumatra for reading pdfs. FOSS is the way. Libre draw also does document signing for pdfs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dunno about this wifi driver stuff. The only issue I had with my own was the flakey hardware and it didn’t work in windows or Linux so I can’t fault Linux for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the Internet Goes Down? - 15 Jan, 7PM CET⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Friend: do not underestimate how much greed the cel companies are capable of. Many have been working on their own satellite setups in preparation and blasting it in everyone’s face lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup this was me back in early October saving an old box I wanted to keep around as a media server.

  Before the month’s end all my computers are on one Linux distro or another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Halifax Studio Just After Employees Unionized [Updated]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ubisoft hate Linux so I hope they go away and make way for something better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok so did they organize and sue the company?

  Cuz enforcement usually requires more work such as a class action suit. Lawyers aren’t just jumping out there suing companies and filing the paper work to protect workers all on their own. There’s usually at least one person organizing it.

  So who’s the person who got let go at Ubisoft that got it started?

  You’re confusing biome with parasites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also wild how much of Taiwan don’t see the problem with trump either. Once upon a time he noted they are their own country now they feel he can do no wrong. I’ve even had to tell a relative from there he’s a kiddy diddler and they still went on about how they are finding some benefits here.

  These people are like when a beaten girlfriend goes from a physical abuser and jump right into a manipulative emotional abuser relationship and say “at least he doesn’t hit me”

  once your standards are that low in a country your life isn’t as great as you think it is. “At least I’m alive”…mmm ok so that’s your standard. Like maybe you want to live past your next meal before celebrating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the thing, regarding Venezuela it’s become a bit of a hot topic worldwide now, in that it’s created a controversy not in the way you would expect. See currently a lot of Venezuelans hated that guy and are happy he’s been taken. So it’s a bit hard on how to play that,

  Don’t get me wrong, how trump did this and the reasons he did it are entirely greedy but at the same time a lot of terrorized individuals are now seeing him as a hero but still very oblivious to his end game on how he’s going to destroy their home for his gain yet.

  From the frying pan into the fire.

  he didn’t do it for them. They don’t know that yet.

  Probably not now. The server has been down for the past few hours so this must be why

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What is going on with this vpn banning bullshit. This would render so many banking apps completely useless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You could throw a dart blindfolded in 1998 and hit a new legendary game every time. ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah… it’s about that time that games were only a decade of advancement since it was created.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll bet the kids have zero clue how an estate is processed and will be deeply disappointed when the bills from all the current court cases from doing illegal shit prior to presidency (and during) eats it all up.

  Dude applied for bankruptcy 4 times already. That there impacts an estate.

  If they had half a brain they would have distanced themselves far away from his black hole and make sure to change their last name on everything if they were expecting to have any future.

  You dont see the name hitler swinging around all that frequently anymore for a reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You've probably met someone who has killed a person⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes not disagreeing with you on that. Just trying to bring attention to the fact that if something is illegal doesnt mean it necessarily deters a pure asshole with intent to double down.

  I’d have loved to see the dude at least do some time for his part in that kid’s death. For what he did to that kid AND that kid’s family. And what guts me is this guy has a kid himself whom he is super protective of. Still doesnt sink in. So even doing time might not have sunk in for him but at least the dead kid’s family could feel better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You've probably met someone who has killed a person⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Never said it was in Canada

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You've probably met someone who has killed a person⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno, it takes a type.

  Knew a guy online who was part of a game guild and regularly told a teenager to go kill himself for not healing him on time during raids.

  One day the Kid shot himself.

  The guy was a full on asshole in rl, much older than the kid, had a family and a job and told himself and everyone that he wasn’t at fault cuz the kid was not mentally stable.

  Like dude, regardless of someone’s mental health he is a bully with an anger problem and leaned into unleashing it on a young kid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US demands access to tourists' social media histories⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They get angry if someone else is having buttsex witin the privacy of their own house and are of the same gender.

  They get angry if someone else has any autonomy over their own body.

  They get angry if someone with slightly different color skin or speaks slightly differently is pulling a paycheck and looking after their own family. Basically existing.

  You say that as if republicans have suddenly developed a critical thinking ability and wouldn’t simply give into ego to be angry at the principle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you hate AI?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh… so it’s getting its advice scrape from Reddit. Now it makes sense where it’s telling teens to die by suicide. That place is a shithole where intelligence goes to die.
