fair enough, I felt like it was pro-matriarchal and wanted to call it out.

I mean, most AAA titles don’t even run on launch nowadays, so I’m not really sure how the quality can get much worse than “unplayable.”

The thing is, while the content of the message is fairly innocuous, it’s still trying to push the message of “a matriarchy is better than a patriarchy.” At the very least, it’s meant to draw a clear, comparative distinction between the two to indicate that one is better than the other.

The problem I have with this is twofold. The first is that most matriarchal propoganda is a pretty clear example of positive discrimination. The second is that it still advocates for a hierarchal structure of society, which I feel like witches should be against.

Gonna be real, I haven’t had to bother with my OS for the past two months, so I disagree with a lot of this post. The take I disagree with the most is that things that would be difficult regardless of OS are somehow “harder” in Linux though. Getting old games to run on Windows is also a massive PITA, and oftentimes can be easier on Linux since you can always just run a WINE instance using whatever version of Windows the game was originally intended for. Same for old obscure software, anything from like the XP era does not play nice with Windows 11 in my experience. It sounds like the bigger issue is that you have learned a lot about Windows, and haven’t learned a lot about Linux, so your knowledge base for Windows is better.

The actual issue I think is huge for your hypothetical “middle user” is hardware based. Some hardware is just better for running high performance applications on Linux than others. In my fancy, shiny, top of the line rig, my experience in getting games to work is I download them and run them with Proton. I’ve done no troubleshooting, barely use any applications other than Steam for gaming, and so far have not found a game I wanna play that doesn’t work. On my old Nvidia-based rig that I replaced, however, it was the exact opposite story. Nothing ever worked, I was constantly looking through error logs and trying to troubleshoot, and most of the time the answer was hardware that wasn’t properly supported.

Any hierarchal structure of power that places one group of people over another based on characteristics like gender, race, or class is gonna have inherent issues. I think we should strive for a more egalitarian future, rather than hoping that positive discrimination will somehow solve our issues.

I just refuse to live in a world where feds came up with the phrase “notices bulges OwO what’s this” and thought “yeah if we say the bullets had that written on them, it will demonize the left!”

You’re just being condescending and seem to have never interacted with them person to person. I live here. I deal with them daily. I have heard them double down on insane nonsense that I don’t know if you could dream of.

90% of what you said are inferences you are making. I understand they are victims of propoganda. It doesn’t seem like you do.

You think they don’t know?

Yes. In fact, I’m certain they don’t. You have to understand, Trump voters don’t live in our reality. They live in a fabricated fantasyland created by the slop media they consume. They think Donald Trump is fighting the pedophiles, because that is what they have been told to believe. All of the attacks on him are “fake news” because they’re from mainstream media sources, which they have been told to never trust.

If concrete evidence that they have been directly lied to is distributed to them by a source they trust, I can’t say for sure what would happen, but it’s probably the best chance for them to be deprogrammed.

so disappointed it wasn’t the “notices bulges OwO what’s this” bullet that got him

I mean, it doesn’t really have to be a slippery slope? Hate speech can have very clear and concrete decisions. I think we can all agree that any group that is calling for the mass extermination of people based upon race or sexuality is bad and should be censored.

Yeah I think that’s what a lot of us cheering want.

We’ve had one dead Nazi yes, but what about the second?

This might be the single greatest advertisement those etsy witches will ever get.

Santa Clarita Diet.

I don’t even know if more seasons would be good but I got very interested by the silly knight order and enjoyed all the characters a lot.

is society not offering real solutions nowadays

no, not really. I see a lot of people pretending there isn’t a problem, a lot of people blaming men for the problem, and some really dumb men blaming women for the problem. Mental health for men is still incredibly stigmatized.

I can no longer hear alizarin crimson without thinking of the silly lizard.

Hey, I’m one of those! Started using Bazzite in July, have absolutely fallen in love. My whole gaming library is available, which has been a real first for me with Linux.

Honestly? Yeah so far. I swapped to Bazzite after getting a new AMD rig in early July. There was a little bit of setup for the first few weeks, but it’s worked perfectly for the whole last month.

I did have many, many issues on my last computer when I was on an Nvidia card though. My impressions are that Linux can be very hardware dependent, and Nvidia is kinda notorious for not supporting their hardware.

In some fairness, I can understand fans being a little disappointed that in such a choice focused game, none of their choices ended up mattering in the larger picture.

I’m not really sure how Bethesda could rectify that though. It’s not like they could make it so that all of the contradictory choices happened at once through some kind of cataclysmic break in time.

I 'unno, I feel like films like Robocop, Total Recall, and the later Demolition Man got a lot of it right. Big indomitable corpos were frequent villains in pop culture of that era.

This feels like some kinda tumblr singularity event
