Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

Or simply choose a instance that defederates fascists and authoritarian loving dipsshits. Never had a problem here with far right or tankie content.

Die FDP hat hart dafür gekämpft, mit ihrer "Opposition in der Regierung" Taktik. Der einzige Lichtblick ist, dass hoffentlich dies die erste und letzte Ampel war. Die Neoliberalen werden immer sabotieren.

Hat man Angst vor der Demonitarisierung durch Youtube?

Ja. Seit der damaligen "Adcopcalypse" dreht YouTube konstant die Daumenschrauben immer fester. Hat seinen Grund, warum immer mehr Kreative für ihr Patreon werben, um nicht komplett eingeschränkt zu sein.

No idea if Ubuntu does some things better for gaming, but I just use the Steam Flatpak (+ the "steam-devices" package for much better controller support) and the Heroic Game Launcher Flatpak. Everything works fine on my end. I'm currently using an AMD card, but will probably switch to an Intel Arc in the near future (since they have better performance for 3d rendering in Blender, and I'm fed up with Nvidia's prices).

Flatpak will probably be the official default format for non-open software in the future.

Great news. Should there be someday a community version with KDE, I will definitely give it a try. Anyway, I wish them success,

Heroic Game Launcher ist awesome. Use it for both, my Epic and GOG libraries.

Me: Lenore's relationship is so messed up!

Also me: That's hot.

Wenn’s gut verstaubar sein soll, würde ich dir ein Faltschloss von einer Markenfirma, wie ABUS, empfehlen. Die meisten Billigmarken taugen überhaupt nichts und werden weder Bolzenschneider noch eine einfache Metallsäge aufhalten. Ich persönlich würde das Bordo 6000 empfehlen.

Mekuro will be interesting when they integrate email in it. And Elisa is already a great music player that I use for my local collection.

Mit einer Akkuflex bekommst du jedes Schloss geknackt, selbst mein hochwertiges Bügelschloss von Abus. Darum parke ich meinen E-Scooter nur an Plätzen mit genug Menschen und habe noch zusätzlich eine Alarmanlage fest an Lenker montiert, die auf Erschütterungen reagiert (auch von Abus). Und ab einem bestimmten Kaufpreis sollte man immer eine Versicherung abschließen, die im Falle eines Diebstahls einspringt. Meine Haftpflicht + Teilkasko kostet mich nur um die 30 - 40 Euro im Jahr.

I agree. The FOSS movement is its own subculture that can be pretty preachy and annoying for outside people.

Linux Mint. People praise it as the perfect Window replacement yet when I tried it for a week, it didn't do anything better than default KDE Plasma Desktop. And since the devs haven't even started to work on Wayland support, the Distro will soon fall way behind.

For buying or donating (maybe even subscriptions). Both open source and proprietary software. They're working on it.

Seems like Canonical wants to push snaps now really hard. I hope that Flathub soon implements its payment structure, before companies flock to the Canonical store.

A bullet in the head or a heroin overdose would have been cheaper and had costs fewer lives, but Russia is Russia. They love their “accidents”.

Yup if I hadn't blocked several communities from appearing constantly in my feed, I would leave too.

Jupp merke es selber im Bekanntenkreis. Eingriff in die Sprache in Kombination mit einer immer schlechteren wirtschaftlichen Lage ist halt eine perfekte Vorlage für die Rechten, um zu versuchen einen Fuß in die Tür zu bekommen. Egal wie real die "Bedrohung" nun wirklich ist.

yup

Spotify bleeds money just like all the other streaming services and is kept alive by dumb investors that think, it will be someday profitable. Maybe they should stop trying to push so hard for podcasts and focus on their core business.

Big yikes. In that case, I wouldn't recommend Mint to beginners at all. Alone, the whole Sandbox concept of Flatpak needs Wayland to work properly. Wayland is the future, regardless if you like it or not.

The only reason why this dipshit wants to get rid of the block feature is because he's probably the most blocked person on Twitter. People were sick of his dumb, unfunny brain farts getting pushed into their timeline and blocked him, and his ego can't handle it.

My best wishes to the Admins, the whole thing must have been exhausting and depressing. I purposefully stayed out of the entire discussion since I'm not a member of Blahaj. I think it's for the better, because I have read a lot in hexbear and the people there are absolute toxic and unhinged. The mentioned Lemm.ee thread was absolutely swarmed with people from hexbear. Like, 3/4 of the comments must have been them. Anyway, wish you all the best.

Security (Future Topic): Security is mentioned as a potential future topic, with Linux Mint considered more privacy-oriented than Windows 11. Discussions about security are acknowledged.

Is Wayland support finally actively worked on, or is it still postponed?

Habe gestern eine Nextcloud selber eingerichtet bei Hetzner für mich und meine Freundin. War tatsächlich super einfach (Ich bin kein IT-Experte) und kopiere nun all meine Fotos, auf Google Drive, rüber. Günstiger und mehr Kontrolle als die anderen Cloud Dienste + viele Apps für verschiedene Bedürfnisse (z. B. ein Kochbuch).

Wünsche dir gutes Wetter und viel Spaß.

The sad truth is that telemetry is only unbiased when it is on by default and not opt-in (Not that I advocate for that). Don't know where I read it, but last month I saw an article about how Gnomes opt-in telemetry data showed that Fedora is the number one distro for Gnome users and Ubuntu was somewhere between 3rd or 4th place. That's obviously not true, but it was true for the people who activated the telemetry.

But back to the topic. As long as the KDE devs give me the choice to keep single click selection, I don't really care what the default is. A lot of people will never learn about it and miss out in my opinion, but whatever 🤷.

Allet Jute zum Kuchentag Feddit. Ich muss die Admins hier loben. Wenn ich mir ansehe, was zum Teil auf anderen Instanzen los ist (z. B. Hexbear Trolle, NSFW Zeug) kann ich nur froh sein, dass diese Instanz so gut moderiert ist.

I mean, their telemetry is opt in and in most distros you don't even get asked if you want to help them with it. If anything, most people aren't even aware that Telemetry exists, if they haven't looked at the specific section in the settings menu.

There is a + over the top left corner of the icon that you can click for selection without opening. Pretty easy to use if you get the hang of it.

edit: Or you just click the right mouse button over the file you want to select.

Big mistake in my opinion. Coming from Windows, it took me only one day to get comfortable with single click and now I don't want to miss it anymore.

Tja.

My Instance, that was already defederated from Hexbear, shows around 300 comments right now. Watching this from lemmy.world, that's also defederated from Hexbear, shows a similar number.

Looking directly from the lemm.ee instance, this thread has 1300 comments. Whooping 1k difference. I wonder what that could mean? 🙃

People that didn't grow up mentally and continue their Xbox vs. PlayStation trash talk from their childhood.

Na ja CDU halt. Finde es aber lustig, wie allergisch hier die Leute auf Fahrradhelme reagieren. Habe selber mal erlebt, wie eine etwas ältere Dame, mit nur 15 km/h unterwegs, mit dem Kopf aufgeschlagen ist, weil ein mit dummer Fußgänger plötzlich im Weg gesprungen ist und sie kollidiert sind. Hatte wohl bleibende Schäden davon erlitten. Aber muss halt jeder für sich entscheiden, ob man so eitel ist, dass man dauerhaften/schweren Schaden im Falle eines Unfalls riskiert.

For now, it's Debian 12 with KDE Plasma. But I'm really interested in Immutable Systems. I like OpenSuse Kapla, but the KDE Integration is still in alpha. There are still a few shortcomings with the only flatpak approach, like the fact that the Steam Flatpak can't provide smooth wireless controller support because of lacking permissions.

Oh, another Linux circlejerk. Man I like my Debian but this stuff is so obnoxious…

I just hope that SUSE keeps them in check for now.

Not sure how good this advice is since I'm not a professional, but: You could try out running Adobe programs in a VM with VMWare (vmware.com). They have an excellent 3D acceleration support already. Just give your VM a good chunk of your hardware resources (I use half of my CPU cores and 3/4 of my system memory). I use that for running Affinity Designer 2 from Sarif, and it works quite well for me. Windows VM boots up in between 6 – 8 seconds and I have a shared folder, where I can drop stuff to interact between my Windows VM and my Linux main system. But like I said, I'm not a professional.
