I know very very little about India, but it seems like the country is going the neoliberal route of Amerika, bringing some limited wealth, but a heap ton of poverty and stress/competition for those who do have a job. I admire India for their educational system, how hard working and responsibly their citizens are, and how much their country has grown since independence (a difficult feat).

I know that not every Indian is a BJP member, but that’s gotta be embarrassing frustrating as MAGA is in the US. I’ve seen some center-right Indian friends go hard right these last few years. This seems to be everywhere now, though, not just India.

Don’t at me, this is from a place of profound ignorance.

Edit: changed a word so I don’t come off like a racist prick

I’m not very knowledgeable about this sorta thing. I’m just gonna say that modding games with the Flatpak version of Steam is way easier.

Is Lemmy going to allow Intel posts and forget that Intel is on the top of the list for BDS?

@AgreeableLandscape sorry to tag the top mod

ButtBidet , 12 days ago

I’ll let you guys make the decision about what to do. At least do let me comment that supporting Intel is supporting genocide.

I type this on a 1 year old desktop with an Intel chip. So hey, we’re all learning.

Fuck Bill Barr. His commentary on Bill Maher was centrist at best. I’ll never forgive him for the other fucked up shit he said, or at least until he actually apologises (spoiler: he won’t).

The Australian Strategic Policy Institute thinktank estimates that 95 civilian universities in China have links to the defence sector.

Oh, the think tank with the guy who gets satellite images of schools and says that it’s definitely a Uighur concentration camp, the one funded by the military.

I was a huge Tom Clancy fan as a teen. Thank fucking God I grew out of that shit, or otherwise I’d be a massive chud. The worst fucking part of his books is the way he writes women and relationships, every woman needs to be rescued, and they have no personality of their own.

Do you have the same opinion about Gaza and conscription in Isreal, by chance?

ButtBidet , 3 months ago

Good for you for at least caring about Gaza.

I haven’t been following this as closely

I think you mean that the Western media isn’t reporting atrocities on non-white people. This isn’t your fault, per se, just that that system is very broken.

NGL I saw the title and didn’t expect much from this. Good effort post, way to change my mind on this topic.

ButtBidet , 4 months ago

It’s a bit unfair and unreasonable, but I try avoid mistakes that are very obvious to management. Like coming in late, not finishing reports that that checked, missing deadlines, etc. I’m not suggesting it, but half-assing something that won’t be noticed is safer.

It’s a bit shit, but I’d try to be extra good when starting a new position, ya. Being nice and agreeable in the beginning is helpful too.

I’m literally sorry that our system is like this.

Because the Tsar and the Chinese warlords and Battista and Imperial Japanese occupation where pillars of democracy before those countries’ revolutions. Also like 90% of Chinese citizens are happy with their government, vs a sad 20% of Americans.

Hi, I’m very leftist. Yet somehow the only people who agree with me are also well-off Westerners.

I’ve been using Mint OS for gaming and it’s been perfectly fine. I probably can’t play some burning edge, this year games, but everything else has been fine. And I’m free from Windows garbageware.

ButtBidet , 9 months ago

NGL, I play games off of Steam, which is easy mode. You can run the Windows game off of Proton, which is Valve’s program for Windows to Linux gaming. Did you try right clicking on the game in Library, going to Properties, then Compatibility tab, then choosing Proton. Almost always the newest version of Proton (8.0-3) will do the trick. Rarely the experimental version or an older version is better.

Adding “gamemoderun %command%” [without the speech marks] to the launch options usually improves performance.

There’s a bit of learning curve, but you can do it, comrade.

As someone who never used outside apps (maybe I should have), the mobile app was OK a year ago but it’s barely usable now. I’m unsure if their code base is falling apart or they’re not paying their server cost. But feck it’s bad.

I know multiple Ukrainian men who are trying to leave or have already left. No sane person wants to stay in that shell of a country, and lose a leg to a Russian mine.

Western liberals, please ship yourself over there and die already. We don’t need your Nazi apologies.

I had a workmate develop a chronic illness after an infection of COVID, and he had to leave under hardship. People that hung out with him as best mates for years stopped talking to him in a matter of days.

ButtBidet , 10 months ago

In communist North Korea, over a million died from COVID, 45,000 die a year from lack of health insurance, and 200,000 die annually from poverty.

ButtBidet , 10 months ago

I sent him a few 3 message to see how he was doing. NGL we weren’t super tight before COVID, we never hung out outside of work, and people not masking around me really drove a wedge between us. I’m trying hard not to justify what happened, but who knows maybe I am a little bit.

You like your free Android kernel? How about your free browser. Or MF’er, do you like this lemmy shit that you’re using?!?!?!? What about all the network architecture so you don’t have to pay dozens of owners so that you can send a packet of data from your the open-source router software to the Linux server that is hosting your game.

Make no mistake Microsoft has been at war with open source since its business model requires people to pay for software. It would destroy open source if it could, it it probably will after it acquires enough enough market share.

There are better vaccines and antivirals coming out of the research pipeline. There are generics for Paxlovid coming on the market. In the short-term, mask and ventilate.

Sorry to be overly harsh. I’ll edit my comment.

ButtBidet , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

Honestly it’s cool. Personally I try to be very objective, scientific, and factual about stuff, but I’ve 100% been wrong about things in the past. I think the measure of a person is their ability to admit a mistake in the face of irrefutable evidence against their POV.

Also non scientific bodies have been chiming in to promote the theory. With the whole anti-China thing going on, it’s gotten a lot more traction that it should have. If the superstructure wants this idea to become mainstream, it can and did.
