2025 is a banger year for open source and internet freedom.

The question is mostly about what kind of gaming.

Most single player experiences are no longer a problem because of steam proton, but multiplayer anti cheat and other AAA DRM is sometimes a windows only thing.

Coding is just superior on linux. It’s the platform built by coders to make their own life easier for 30 years.

You should dual boot, try it out for a few games and see how the dev process translates and get your feet wet.

Setting up a VM is probably a lot more effort than just installing it.

a more boilerplate way to remove having to worry about designing the UI/UX so I could focus on [blank]

Yes.

In a way, it is super funny ironic / funny to me that we have basically no actual GUI standard. There is Qt, there is stuff with html/css/js, and the rest just lack tons of features.

No idea how it works on windows tbh.

Making a cli app? Sure, easy peasy, done in 5 mintues. Making a small GUI app? Strap in for 2 weeks of basics how this framework chose to solve certain issues.

Ok, I’m looking forward to them changing this practice then. We’ll see if they do.

Disgusting. I don’t demand or expect them to rewrite their website, but those people are nowhere near even “neutral” status, as long as they behave this way.

Certainly not allies or friends I would support.

Wir sollten diesen Unis jegliche Finanzierung entziehen und das lieber in die Rente stecken, weil:

“Wenn eine neue Regel angekündigt wird, denken die Menschen zuerst an das, was sie verlieren: Freiheit, Gewohnheit, Komfort. Nach der Einführung treten diese persönlichen Verluste in den Hintergrund. Dann achten wir viel stärker auf das, was die Maßnahme für die Gesellschaft bringt.”

“Akzeptanz steigt durch Erkenntnis gesellschaftlichen Nutzens”

/s

Immer vorsichtig mit “gesicherten Erkenntnissen” die objektiven Schwachsinn rechtfertigen können.

Das macht fast kein Journalist und du gehst davon aus das normale Leute es nicht auch im gleichen Maß tun.

Und ich rede nicht davon was man in einem Journalismus Studium lernt was man tun könnte, sondern davon was faktisch die allermeisten Journalisten tatsächlich tun.

Wenn ich den gleichen Personen auf X folgen würde, dann hätte ich das gleiche Angebot.

Daher bleibt für mich die Frage, woher ich denn jetzt noch »echten Journalismus« herbekommen kann?

“Ja”. Folge den gleichen Personen, mache dir dein eigenes Bild. Ignoriere Zeitungen. “Echter” Journalismus war sowieso nur normale Leute mit Zugang zu einer Druckmaschine. Jetzt haben halt alle Zugang.

Achso, und diese Erkenntnis kommt ca. 15-20 Jahre zu spät, aber willkommen im Club.

I am so glad that this meme has this amount of staying power, and the way it’s being used. Well done.

What then?

Yeah it’ll just be over.

Meaning, people would try to barter, which is really bad because it forces extremely bad trades, because it’s so hard to establish a good value for things.

We 100% rely on consistently working electricity and network connectivity for digital currency to work.

Which is why we should never get 100% rid of cash, even if we transition to mostly cashless, people should keep an emergency stash of hard currency. The same way people should keep an emergency food and water supply, in case of power outages like the one in spain. We can secure our infrastructure against many things, but not 100% secure against everything. Keeping a few bottles of clean water, a little bit of essentially never perishing food and a little cash and a few candles really isn’t too much to ask.

Sure, it’s a matter taste and I too like a good UI.

Both can exist, that’s a another beauty of linux.

A bad person? No, absolutely not.

The problem, if there is any, would be general health and fitness, preventing you from doing some things. But that’s you, doesn’t mean your child can’t do them. E.g. idk skateborarding. That being said, in many cases it’s an attitude problem, if you exercise regularly and stay healthy and are really putting in that work that you know is good for you but maybe put off, you can make it work.

Forget the perceptions, you can’t change how other people see you.

Congratulations on becoming a parent!

Also, updates.

“hey computer! Update!”

“Sure thing, here is a list of 57 packages I will update, y/n?”

“y”

“ok… done!”

👌

It depends a lot in which context the “discussion” is taking place.

• at a dinner table it’s more about small talk and performing… “social grooming” as you would observe it in ape societies.
• at official events, people either have a job or an established opinion, they are in a stressful environment that does not actually allow them to make rational evaluations
• in school / academia / media, the particular response and opinion will affect your grade, social standing and future career opportunities

In all of those situations, it should be obvious why the “dominant” position does need to give an inch, for social reasons.

Even in absolutely perfect conditions, calm environments, prepared discussion participants, “objective neutrality” towards the outcome, individuals will have different opinions on importance of topics or methods and will discard “details” or see them as irrefutable counter examples.

Basically, there are lot of (subconscious) things going on that prevent an “objective discussion” from happening. I’m sure you can find specific examples of what could be influencing people in specific circumstances once you look for them.

Ah, ok! Danke!

Meine Damen und Herren!

DAS GEHT ZU WEIT!

Ich verstehe das mai mai nicht. 🥲

Warhammer Vermintide 2, the borderlands games, the newer Space Marine 2, factorio, deep rock galactic

1. just pick any of the common recommendations. Mint. Ubuntu, Kubuntu… Just search for “which linux distro is right for me” and look at a few answers and pick one. Most of them work the same way.

2. you probably can’t use autocad or adobe products. kernel level anticheat is a problem, so games that need that are out.

3. Yes. …ish.

There are basically three levels, one where you only click everything and it’s basically an app / wizard as you know them.

The next level would be that it’s possible that you have manually edit a few text or config files to make things work the way you want to, or the best solution to your problem can be a command line thing. That’s very mostly “not programming”, the command line and manually editing config files can look scary, but most of the time it’s completely harmless. This happens, but it’s rare and it’s mostly simple stuff. The bigger and more used the distro is that you pick, the less you will run into this.

And then the third level would be “real programming” and basically nobody does that and nobody expects that.

4. yes, you can dual boot.

5. Just do it. If you’ve “built” a pc before, it’s the same deal. If you read the manual a tiny bit, it’s like lego. It looks way scarier than it is. And if you look up solutions it is extremely likely that you will find a well researched answer that does solve your problem.

What a garbage tier take. (by OP)

1. it is so easy to shit on twitter, for manipulating the feed, especially since we’re on the fediverse. Focus on that please.

2. “this ain’t a real job” is boomer stuff. Stop. Talk about their bad opinions or their bad content if you want.
