There will be, hopefully soon, but it sure as hell won't be from Google. Personally, I'm not touching any sort of personal assistant that isn't FOSS.

Yes! Igorrr is awesome. Can't wait for what they come up with next.

Yes, religion is often simply reinforced by hatred.

This is a pretty simplistic take. The thing is, Republicans enact policies that kill or ruin the lives of MANY people. If one of them dies, I fail to see how that doesn't leave the world a better place.

The comment you replied to was specifically hoping for a natural death. Nobody here is suggesting lynching politicians, that's the behavior of the right wing (jan 6, etc)

Your comment reads as typical "both sides" bullshit, with a bit of slippery slope fallacy thrown in.

Why not just move to a minimal window manager?
I use i3 with no bar, and it’s pretty low distraction compared to a full desktop environment.

Definitely get comfortable with the terminal, vim and shell scripting can do pretty much anything. Although you will have a much nicer time with a terminal emulator like kitty or alacrity imo. Idk how sensitive you are to this sort of thing, but as a fellow adhd-er, customizing the font and colors makes a big difference for comfort and distraction.

I think you’re really going to need a web browser, but you could always just use a site blocker extension. Otherwise if you really can go without a browser, just uninstall it. Same with something like steam.

Outer Wilds.

If you haven't played it, don't read anything about it, just go in blind. It's an amazing experience that I wish I could play again for the first time.

Some other favorites worth mentioning:

Minecraft
Celeste
Doom 2016
What Remains of Edith Finch
Titanfall 2

It depends, the Heroic games launcher works well for GOG and Epic, and I've heard good things about Lutris too. For other games with their own launcher, you may have to follow certain instructions to get them to run.

Games like valorant are broken due to anticheat, but it's basically malware and I wouldn't install it anyway.

Blender has come a LONG way in 20 years. I think it beats 3ds max in most categories these days.

For CAD I haven't tried solidworks, but I did get Fusion to run. (Also fwiw, Onshape is surprisingly good, and is browser based)

I think all of them forfeited any respect for their lives when they chose to step into a metal tube and put several miles of water between them and the breathable atmosphere, for fun.

Sure, I think it's maybe fair to say that about ceo, who cut all sorts of corners with the construction (and it was a carbon fiber tube, not metal, which was the main problem)

However, the 19 year old kid on board was dragged along by his dad, and was reportedly terrified and didn't want to go. I think it shows an extreme lack of empathy to say his life had no value because of the situation he was put in.

A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, got me?

Hi everyone!

(they/them)

My interests are (pretty much the usual for here): art, gaming, design, linux, music, movies, space, tech, nature, science, etc.

Been interested in the fediverse for a while, but finally made the jump as part of The Rexxit. I really think open source and decentralization are how we take back the internet (and tech in general) from those who control it.

I never really posted much on reddit, but here I'd like to try and participate more and maybe make some friends on here. (although realistically I probably won't because of anxiety, ha)

anyway this is getting too long, probably pretty obvious I have adhd at this point from all the parentheses

Based on the replies to your comment, I'm convinced to watch Lain

yeah, I feel the same way. reddit has kinda evolved into just a faceless content feed, and I'm done with that.
