I’ve tried to run Ubuntu, mint, Debian, and couple other distros without the terminal to see if I can actually recommend it to non-geeks. And every time, I conclude I can’t because the fucking “software center” (or whatever it’s called) is always garbage, and it’s easier to just use apt.
The only time I’ll recommend Linux to a non-tech person is when the hardware is so old that it would just be junked without Linux.
Lol. Normally Elon just posts cringe that isnt funny in any way. But this is hilarious. “I love your transphobia, but have you tried thinking about literally anything else?” Like he wants her to start posting great replacement shit
It’s already well known at work that I don’t just not like gore videos but that I hate them and actively avoid them.
What the FUCK is going on at your work? I know this isn’t always an option, but I suggest you run away. A workplace where you’re considered the weird one because you don’t like snuff vids? I really doubt a complaint could fix that environment, it sounds rotten to the core
Their original intro was a banger. It’s something like a ringtone trying to do pop punk. 5 seconds into the intro, the hosts start telling you the upcoming stories as the music fades in and out. A host tells the date and her name, then the other hosts introduce themselves. 40 seconds in, the show starts. The whole time that...
I recently got a Sony prs 600 e reader from 2009. The battery is at the end of its life (It lasts about 3 days with heavy reading, and a couple weeks without reading). No backlight, no Wi-Fi, just an SD card that I can load epub files and small PDFs. The screen is slow and the contrast isn’t the best. The “touch screen” is...
This website is run by Marxists. The primary developers of Lemmy are Marxists. Haven’t you wondered why ads aren’t being shoved down your throat on this site?
IMO this is because Lemmy is still mostly targeted at techy/open source people. Trans women have already created their own communities/subculture in this world (‘programmer socks’ etc). But there’s not that critical mass of trans men programmers to make a bustling community here.
Lemmy is probably also very white.
So we need more diverse topics to attract a more diverse audience. Right now, the only people signing up for Lemmy are people who have opinions about Internet protocols.
You do realize under the Biden Administration this is the first time the US has ever even abstained from a vote on the security council against Israel?
That’s because in the past, when the US finally thought Israel went too far, they would directly pressure Israel to stop. Carter did it. Regan did it. Biden could have done it, but he didn’t - either deliberately or through incompetence, it doesn’t matter. He continued sending arms to Israel and vetoing enforceable security council resolutions without using ANY of the enormous leverage the US gov has over Israel.
Do you not see the absurdity of rushing arms to a country committing genocide and claiming you oppose the genocide because you abstained from a resolution with no real enforcement possibility? It’s a sick fucking joke
That’s why I was specific in calling them “Biden Democrats”. I’m not including all Democrats here, nor am I including all Biden voters. "[Name] [party members] " is a shorthand way of talking about either the wing of a party, or a voters whose views align with [name]. This genocide is decades in the making, and Biden’s wing of the party has been complicit the whole time.
If you vote for Biden, that doesn’t make you a “Biden Democrat”. Many people currently protesting the war and taking part in actions will end up voting for Biden this November. I won’t Shame them for doing what they think is best.
However, this is Biden’s legacy. This is what it means to be a “Biden Democrat”. Go ahead and vote for him, but for the love of Blåhaj, don’t embrace the fascist policies that he’s been pushing for decades.
I don’t like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...
I hate Biden as much as every other leftist here. But I’ll still vote for him because Trump is worse. If there’s a single bone in your body that cares about the lives of your trans friends you will too.
I’m a trans person. Here’s what I’m most concerned about: the dehumanization of Palestinians and immigrants. Biden has gone along 100% with the dehumanization of these groups
how the fuck am I supposed to trust Democrats that claim to support trans people when this is how they support Palestine? This is a president thats supporting an ongoing genocide while persuing draconian immigration policies. Am I supposed to just throw those groups under the bus for my own personal gain?
You’ve made it abundantly clear that if Biden was pushing anti-trans policies, you’d still support him. You’ve made it clear there is absolutely nothing Biden could do that would lose your support.
I hate this mentality so much. We’re not in Afghanistan or Gaza, but we’re all still human. Their deaths are equally tragic.
It’s even the same weapons a lot of the time! The cops are all kitted out in surplus from the Afghanistan war, and receive “counterterrorism” training from the soldiers currently slaughtering children in Gaza.
