  Stop using fascist things.

  Stores, websites, apps, cars, hosting, operating systems, and all other providers of goods/services should be audited by you. You should then ask yourself if you want to give them your money and/or your trust.

  I would prefer to see a native forest or at least some trees for shade. I could even do with a fountain. I mean, I guess this would be good as a market place but if it’s empty what’s the point?

  Beans are political if you look at it hard enough.

  Also if you look at politics even more it also becomes beans.

  Either embrace the absurdity or fight for the right to grow beans on your friend’s lakehouse farm while taking your clothes to your mom’s house so she can wash them for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux help and actual pros and cons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have nvidia too. So all good there. Within protondb (you mentioned a Skyrim) you can filter the results by clicking on the cog and selecting GPU > nvidia. Depending on the game you might have to use some steam launch options to try to squeeze as much as you can out of your setup or to enable certain things but that’s usually captured in the comments if it’s required to play.

  • Subnautica is kinda a perfect mix of both RPG and management games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry to not really answer your question, but I’m just curious what distros and kernel combinations you’ve tried on your 2020 thinkpad that don’t support the hardware keys? I never ran Linux on a thinkpad but I’ve heard that they are fairly well supported. Also, I wonder if it’s an issue with you desktop environment, which ones have you tried? I’ve seen most hardware features seem to work on KDE but many didn’t on xfce for example.As a bit of an anti-consumer, I would recommend trying a few totally different distros and DEs with the latest kernels just to be sure that it’s really not supported.

  To answer your question a bit. I’ve honestly not had issues with drivers of any kind on any desktop hardware since I started using arch with KDE. I don’t even bother checking compatibility anymore. This is even true for Nvidia GPUs although there are some issue with Wayland there. For a laptop, I do watch videos of people opening them up to fix or upgrade them before I buy. If the laptop is hard to open or upgrade or if it breaks easily during the process because its only held together with plastic clips and glue then I don’t suggest you buy it unless portability is more important to you than device lifetime.

  If freedom of speech is granted to all and there is legal precedent and long standing tradition for that case then all should be able to have freedom of speech regardless of status.

  Holy shit that’s crazy. Why doesn’t Australia have toilets that you can remove from the floor? If you want to replace a toilet you gotta beat it with a mallet?
