Arthur_Leywin,

That rule sounds nice, but people can have very different expectations. This is a rule that shouldn’t be followed strictly.

Arthur_Leywin,

It’s like NordVPN but a bit more private.

  1. They don’t require an account (username/password) for you to use. You pay them for an account number and use Mullvad VPN by inputting it.
  2. They were about to be raided but they managed to get out of that with their lawyers.
  3. It’s also very easy to use on Linux because there’s a GUI, which is great. CLI seems overkill for an app that needs to be turned on and off (i.e. NordVPNJ my old VPN).

It’s overall nice.

Ublock users who got hit by Youtube's anti-adblock effort- how's your experience been?

I started getting the dreaded anti-adblock pop-ups on Youtube when they started ramping up their efforts a month or so back, and I initially went through the whole rigamarole: First it was just the pop-up, then it was the pop-up with the timer, then the 3-video countdown finally leading to the video player being disabled...

Arthur_Leywin,

Firefox gets those ads. Librewolf doesn’t so i have a browser specifically for YT xD

How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?

I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....

Arthur_Leywin,

Virtual machine or Bottles. If neither can help then I just take the L

Arthur_Leywin,

It’s a thing that’s built on top of wine (Windows application compatibility thingy). Its purpose is to create environments for Windows applications in a very user-friendly manner with a GUI. I think whatever you can do in Bottles, someone could do with the terminal using wine but that’s difficult.

Haven’t used Bottles in a while but you just get the .exe file like you would when using Windows OS, then you put it in the Bottles, and it should run. I have no clue about the details, but if you click enough buttons, it should work properly.

Arthur_Leywin,

Not sure. I guess it depends on the software you’re trying to use. Watcha downloading? Maybe I can try it on my end.

Arthur_Leywin,

I’m having issues too. I’d just use a VM at that point xD. With Bottles it’s usually hit or miss but with a VM, almost anything works. Sorry friend🤧

Edit: my virtual machine manager of choice is GNOME Boxes because it’s very easy to use. If it doesn’t work it usually means KVM or SVM (one of them) is disabled in your BIOS.

Arthur_Leywin,

Endgame was stupid. The solution to Thanos was have Tony conveniently invent time traveling and then save the day. Infinity Wars was the peak.

Hospitals have special protection under the rules of war. Why are they in the crosshairs in Gaza? (apnews.com)

JERUSALEM (AP) — The head of surgery at Gaza’s largest and most advanced hospital held up his phone Saturday to the hammering of gunfire and artillery shelling. “Listen,” said Dr. Marwan Abu Sada as fighting raged around Shifa Hospital.

Arthur_Leywin,

If you’re telling people to not vote for Biden, you’re basically endorsing Republicans. Do you think they’ll be any better?

Arthur_Leywin,

How did you arrive to that conclusion?

Arthur_Leywin,

If Biden doesn’t win, then the Republicans will. It’s as simple as that.

Arthur_Leywin,

Biden didn’t either…

Arthur_Leywin,

Ok don’t vote for Biden. Where’s your vote going to?

Arthur_Leywin,

So you’re ok with Trump or worse from the Republican side?

Arthur_Leywin,

You’re a lost cause. You’re fixation on Biden’s poor handling of this situation shows you don’t give a shit. It’s Netanyahu’s genocide and this would have happened with or without the US’s condemnation.

If you’re a Republican then you were ret@rded from the start. If you’re a leftist then you’re also stupid for thinking Trump would be better in this situation.

Genocide is bad, so is fascism (The Republican party).

Arthur_Leywin,

It worked for me. Also since you’re so critical about the email analogy, what’s your solution?

Arthur_Leywin,

How should those federation evangelists explain it? You’ve basically just passed the job to someone else lol

Arthur_Leywin,

already doing that full time in excruciating, obnoxious detail

How would this person describe The Fediverse?

Arthur_Leywin,

Obtuse similes… Like the email thing…?
