They’d be lying if they present an „expert” who isn’t.

It just rubs me the wrong way that the only people with a claim against Fox News for the big lie was the voting machine company over lost profits. We can at least solve the standing issue.

In this context I pretty much mean advocating for genocide or fascism. That and I don’t think you should be able to lie out your ass and call it news.

I think it’s disingenuous to group freedom of thought with speech and expression. Limiting the first is impossible, while every country on earth limits the other two to some degree.

My personal opinion is that you shouldn’t be able to hurt people in stupid, hateful, predictable ways.

I fucking hate algorithm speak so much

Does google let you ban pinterest?

If you use kagi, the AI summary is opt-in. Trigger it with a question mark at the end of your query. I like kagi.

I mean if it’s worked without modification for 6 years….

Does what I want and gets out of my way.

I bet he trained it on /pol/

I wish he didn’t feel the need to be so defensive about his choices. Bazzite is perfect for this use case

Life is too short to wash spoons with your hands.

Don’t pre-rinse, just scrape the bigger bits into the trash. If your dishwasher can’t handle it there’s something wrong with it.

but they aren’t parallel

Yeah, I’ll probably switch eventually I’m just trying to talk myself out of it because I don’t have the time to learn right now

I have a desktop, laptop, and a few VMs and servery things. Dotfile manager (yadm, which is a git wrapper) to sync personal settings, everything else I just do manually. The system-level configs are either different enough that standardizing them isn’t very helpful, or no more complicated than installing packages and activating services.

I like the idea of nixos, but I feel like it makes a bunch of daily sacrifices in order to optimize a task I do once every few years? I hardly ever get a new computer, but I install/uninstall/update/tweak packages on my system all the time. With a dotfile manager and snapshots, I get most of the benefit without any of the drawbacks.

The desktop environment is all the stuff like the taskbar, the settings menus, the application launcher, the login screen, that kind of thing. It’s the system level user interface.

You choose which one by which distro you download. Linux mint uses cinnamon, Ubuntu and fedora use gnome. There are “flavors” of Ubuntu and fedora that use KDE. That’s why I suggested ventoy: you can download a few different ones and boot into them without making a new thumb drive.

If you don’t feel like bothering with any of that, just use Linux mint. It’s good.

• before you switch, sort out your apps. Look at what you use on windows, see if it runs on Linux. If not, find a replacement that does and test it out.
• Most Linux distros can boot into a desktop from a thumb drive. You can play and test without touching your windows installation.
• in that vein, ventoy is neat. You can make a bootable drive and drop ISOs in a folder to boot from. No messing with etcher or whatever it’s called
• desktop environment matters as much as the distro. Check out gnome, KDE, and cinnamon.

It’s true, I’m completely broken. I can’t even use a stacking window manager on Linux, I’m instantly pissed off

Obviously pierogi and vodka
