  • gog has always been so anal about linux though, that it kind of feels like a epic games to me. you can't have a platform ran on drm free games, and then when people want to play them on linux (the "drm free" platform), they ignore and alienate them.

    • The concept of "the closet"

    Jump

  • i've never liked the idea of having to come out of the closet. I want to be able to say "oh, my boyfriend cooked my lunch, I don't know what spices he used, i can ask him", without it turning into "oh i didn't know you were gay, thanks for letting me know, so brave" or something weird. we were talking about lunch, not who i like to sleep with

    • Trying to get my partner to switch from Windows to Linux. Has anyone tried Scrivener with Wine?

    Jump

  • i think the most important part is that if they switch to linux, you are now their IT support, and they will rely on you. be patient and understanding with them, even if stuff is not necessarily broken.

    • Is queer an equivalent substitute for lgbtq(...)+?

    Jump

  • i never say lgbt, it feels heavy, especially with the full lgbtqia (I already don't know what can come after)

    i use gay for any kind of not straight sexuality, and queer to me also includes trans stuff, ace, aro...

    we're not cis and or straight, we're queer

  • if you're not aware of that whole thing, the issue is not that mojang is banning people for using slurs, it's that their list of bad words with way too broad, and you might get banned for saying "night" or I think even "zzzzz" or whatever things you might say as you're going to sleep.

    banning for slur, yes very good banning for a word that's in a naughty list that's not bad or even pretty common, that's silly

  • is revolt good ? I'm in no desilusion that i'd be able to make my friends move away from discord, but maybe for new communities ?

    • Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?

    Jump

  • so far it's really nice, it's what I liked in reddit and before that forums, without being what reddit became.

    the fediverse is hard though, but it kinda makes sense. I'll see if I get more used to it
