I thought “thicc” is almost a compliment nowadays.

It does not equal “obese”, and is more like having thick hips and/or generally being a bit more puffy and cuddly. Which is nice, and Internet appreciates it!

Allero ,

Seriously, what started this wave of Grammar Nazism all around Lemmy?

Stick to the content, not the form.

Allero ,

Nebula is cool and all, but at the end of the day, it’s still a commercial platform, and those do tend to enshittify and depend a lot on externalities.

As creators grow more dependent on Nebula, Sam and the team of original Nebula creators can wield more power and change the rules.

They already dictate the kind of content that is allowed - for example, Second Thought, one of the original creators behind Nebula, was asked to leave as he doesn’t agree to change public stance on Israeli-Palestinian conflict (he is pro-Palestine). This has left him without a source of revenue necessary for the production to expand, and has put him into debt.

Solution? Probably independent sponsorships that would go both on YouTube and PeerTube videos. Or a creator reward system like in Lbry/Odysee. Something that would allow to reward creators without going full commercial.

Allero ,

So, what’s the middle ground in your opinion?

Allero ,

Linus did have emotion control issues and was not always completely rational, but he’s gone a long way towards being incredibly responsible to his child that powers the world.

Also, he long understands that Linux ain’t a hobby project, which some programmers still get to think.

Allero ,

Part of any international sanctions is to leave something for the perpetrator to lose.

Otherwise, they can do literally everything without any further consequences whatsoever - it won’t get worse for them.

Also, as rightfully mentioned, part of UN’s goal is restoring peace between nations, which is harder to do when they are not members. That’s the problem with Palestine, and it will get worse if Israel leaves too.

Allero ,

The entire article is utter apologetic trash, doing its absolute best to show how unpopular this decision is (despite being hugely popular) and focusing on “Hamas terrorism concerns” without any consideration at all given to Palestinians.

Allero ,

Essentially every country settled primarily by Europeans or their descendants, except somehow Latin America, Russia and Belarus, and, debatable, a few other European countries :D And potentially including Israel

Allero ,

Guess they meant “Spain and Portugal themselves”

Allero ,

Ran Aurora that is also based on Fedora Kinoite, just as Bazzite.

The world is seriously not ready for atomic distros. SO many workarounds to make basic things it’s insane.

Allero , (edited )

Ooookay, this will get controversial.

Proud Manjaro/Debian user!

  • Ubuntu and derivatives suck because of Canonical and their practices
  • Fedora sucks because of Red Hat
  • OpenSUSE sucks because RPM (why?!) and still SUSE (but they’re the best of the three)
  • Rest is exotic and obscure

So we end up with Arch and Debian. Debian 12 is good enough as is, and runs on a work laptop where I don’t care about anything but stability. Arch is respectable and great, but requires excessive maintenance to work properly. Among its derivatives, Endeavour is just a nicer archinstall (so, why?), Garuda is cool but unstable and too gamer’y, Manjaro is a bit problematic at times but generally the safest bet when it comes to Arch. So, when it comes to my main PC doubling as a gaming rig, this is a no-brainer.

Allero , (edited )

Lol

See Ubuntu and derivatives

Allero , (edited )

The fact that it adds too little to Arch to be seen as a separate entity. And I don’t want to run mainline Arch. It requires too much maintenance to work with it properly, and every update is a bit of a gamble on what’s gonna break next - unless you spend solid time reading notes to every update.

Allero ,

Trying to run a Shadowsocks VPN service, installing Wine in a way that properly integrates with a system (I guess not an issue with Bazzite), Distrobox containers failing, etc.

While trying to do the former, I also accidentally made Aurora literally not load into a DE in either ostree root.

Allero , (edited )

Normally when people hear Manjaro, hell breaks loose :D

Apparently folks here are a lot more chill about it

Allero , (edited )

Lol, fair, fair! :D

But really, I just see no point for myself when there’s Debian 12 already. I’ve always seen LMDE as a backup of sorts, so that the community would remain should Ubuntu really screw it for everyone. Or if you’re Cinnamon maximalist, they have everything as polished as possible for that (but generally you can easily have Cinnamon on mainline Debian)

I myself am KDE fanboy, though :)

Allero ,

Literally the most suggested newbie distro, so you’re probably fine :)

Like, ideologically I may mention it’s Ubuntu-based so it sucks, but from end user perspective, it’s alright.

Doubling down on literacy, Linux guides are either “here’s how to do that absolutely basic thing” or “using veheydgvrl for quantumschropping the badumbliss”. To me, Mental Outlaw produced quite some simple guides (warning: most vids are rants so you’ll have to search for actual guides), Veronica Explains might be the fun option and not bloated with anything but tech, and just searching for solutions to whatever your issue is before you grasp how it works.

Allero ,

Why having two Ubuntu-based distros on a dual boot, if I may ask? Matter of whatever visual preference you now have?

Allero ,

Whichever one you choose is the right one!

Allero , (edited )

Why Void? What are the advantages?

From what I’ve gathered, its “do it all from scratch” approach entails a steep learning curve, and I wonder what one would get into it for.

Allero ,

Arch is unstable and time-consuming to maintain, and should never be reasonably used as anything but upstream for something usable, you’re wrong!

Jk, you do you :)

Allero ,

Good choice! Running it on my laptop.

Debian 12 is solid and much more user-friendly compared to previous editions.

Expect the software to age without updates, though, or rely on Flatpaks/Distrobox for what you need to be fresh.

Allero ,

As someone mildly interested in OpenSUSE and currently on an Arch-based distro, how much do you miss AUR? Or do you use Distrobox?

Allero ,

Thanks! I see

Allero ,

I see!

Allero , (edited )

Yeah, I am aware of some of those controversies, and they sure are unfortunate!

However, it’s really, really hard to find a well-supported distro free of controversies. Still doesn’t excuse Manjaro on that front.

I personally did not test Arch for such a long time, but what I had I certainly didn’t like. Also, full barebones approach is not for me, and more of an enthusiast kind of thing. So, to each their own indeed!

Allero ,

Yes, there are notifications. Be aware that, unless you use Flatpaks again, you’ll not have many functional updates - mostly just security. That’s just the way of Debian - keeping you on the same software for 2+ years in the name of stability. Unless you use Debian Testing, that is.

Allero , (edited )

Yep, true. But currently, I don’t see much point in LMDE, as Debian 12 is user-friendly enough as it is - though you’re free to disagree.

Allero ,

I see, thanks for sharing!

Allero , (edited )

Even as a first-time user, you’ll figure it our rather quickly, no worries. It’s not rocket science, just an option to toggle that allows you to install more modern versions of apps in an isolated mode.

But if we only look at regular installs, your software will stay at the same version until Debian 13 is rolled out, likely in summer 2025. Do not expect any large updates at all until then.

Allero ,

Some people go as far as to use a tool similar to the one mounted on the front cart to extract their money and still not return the cart they took.

Allero ,

In Russia, certain groups of kids (children of low-income parents, of families with 3+ kids, orphans) receive a special ticket, one per day, allowing them to have a school lunch for free.

Sometimes they share unused ones (tickets don’t have names on them), which practically guarantees there’s a bunch of kids on their side - everyone wants free lunch.

And generally it was more of a thing to flash, not something to be shamed for.

Allero , (edited )

“HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point”

Without taking any sides, saying some group is insane and then saying that them lashing back “proves your point” is beyond stupid.

Like, of course they will, what else do you expect them to do? Sit and politely agree?

We should stop with this kind of BS in any sort of debate. Groups will protect themselves, and will not get polite to those who throw slurs at them; that’s natural, normal and speaks nothing about their average behavior.

This never proves any point and is nothing but a dirty rhetorical device aimed to shut your opposition up and make them seem irrelevant. This is not part of any possible healthy conversation.

Also, post is not a genuine question.

Allero ,

The reason I moved to lemmy.today is that admins don’t decide for you what you’re allowed to see.

Everything is open, and if you don’t like it - you defederate personally. No one stops you.

Allero ,

Liberalism in the center? Gosh, this is the most American political coordinates there could be

It’s almost physically triggering how off-base that is

Allero ,

The point is that it skews the understanding of “left” and “right” to favor the latter.

Essentially serving as a tool to claim socialist policies extreme and liberal ones perfectly balanced.

Allero ,

Which I would certainly engage in if I wouldn’t remember you personally as a troll who cares little of civility.

If someone else is up for debating it, I’m always here.

Also, one thing you genuinely caught me on is a bit of an emotional outburst, while I generally am the one picking civility card. Good job! I do apologize for that part.

The coordinates are heavily skewed and likely to either be formed in a right-wing society or intentionally made as to confuse people.

Allero , (edited )

Generally, it is the fact that right-wing entails focus on businesses and private property owners, and left-wing entails direct focus on the economic wellbeing of everyone and a more egalitarian society. Liberals do not strike a meaningful balance here, and commonly see business freedoms as paramount to building a prosperous society, generally pursuing business-friendly policies.

In more extreme cases of the political spectrum (which I agree for in terms of clarity and fairness, but which are not really a consensus) left-wing is seen as actual socialism (i.e. collectively/socially owned enterprises) and right-wing is capitalism (i.e. private property and its operation for profit). This makes a useful and clear distinction in relation to economic policy and is not dictated by the hegemony of one option. It also makes centrism virtually impossible, which is good, because the meaning of “center” drifts radically between cultures, and most people tend to just associate with whatever is predominant in their culture while calling themselves such.

Here is how voters of neighboring Canada have put themselves on a political compass, on average, in relation to their party of choice during the 2019 election. Note that liberals are very much not in the center, and more right-wing, while conservatives as well as People’s party (don’t look at the name, it’s seen as far right even by American metrics), predictably, are extremely authoritarian-right.

P.S. Sorry for being a bit rash :)

Allero ,

My apologies. I previously didn’t see you in civil conversations, while meeting you in your rainy ways twice before, and I could be too quick to conclude. Lemmy is flooded with that kind of stuff lately, which turns brain into a razor mode as a way of protecting against an artificial hate wave.

If you’d like to politely discuss anything, I’m all for it.

Allero , (edited )

Yes! The latter part of what you say explains exactly to me why liberals cannot be the center.

Being “for the people” is more of a show here, while they are funded and act in the interest of businesses. When people do demand change that goes against capitalists, they will play everything to keep the spectacle while clearly not choosing people’s side. Often times, they don’t even give concessions - just pretend internal struggles stopped them from implementing the changes. And at the same time, this doesn’t break the logic of liberalism.

Allero ,

Heh

Not a Hexbear member, though. Generally, Lemmy is heavily left-leaning.

Allero ,

Ignoring or shrugging off shit people say about you may actually not be a viable long-term strategy.

Contrary to what many of us have been taught, this actually allows others to reinforce their views about you inside their echo chambers.

That’s not to mention it’s simply not great to hear that stuff said about you or the group you care about, and the longer this drags on, the more toxicity, alienation, and spite inevitably accumulates. None of us are immune to this, and it’s not insane to be hostile to those who are hostile to you.

Allero ,

Completely useless rageposting on your side.

Also, the original commenter corrected it later to clarify.

Allero ,

Just give the link if you have one

Allero ,

Oh, and now you make a great deal of change by putting slurs all over.

Wanna change someone’s mind? Go civil. Wanna vent your anger? Don’t vent it on other people.

I 100% want all copyright to be eliminated, but what you do is counterproductive and rude at best.

Allero ,

Didn’t find a way

Allero ,

Nah, Revelation Online. Requires VK Games launcher to start. But I’ll see if your method works somehow, thanks!

Allero ,
