in my opinion, all ware is mal ware

(except postmill)

I want to say at least two years now. I used Ubuntu for >10 years before that, but I kept running into issues with snaps which drove me to Pop.

On the side, System76 (popos people) is making a new Rust-based "Cosmic" desktop to eventually replace the GNOME based one. If you've used cosmic-text in a Rust project, that is what it's from!

Ya! My only arguments for pop os ("Pop! OS") is that i love the defaults, so i'll just list the defaults i like

it's based on ubuntu, which is based on debian, has no "snaps" (bad package manager system that has caused my a lot of problems), and it's custom GNOME-based desktop environment has builtin window tiling and stacking.

i like tiling a lot because i dislike the other tiling WMs which all expect you to memorize shortcuts.

i have an nvidia GPU so the ISO that comes with the appropriate drivers builtin is very very nice

I'm a longtime Linux user here. If you're looking for any distro recommendations, I can write a really long annoying post about it. (luv luv luv popos)

Proton IS awesome. If you told me in 2017 that "Linux desktop is going to be a viable platform for Gamers" I would have thought you were a delusional Linux stan.

But now, videogames which don't work on Linux are the exception and that's increasingly rare. It's mind-boggling. Most of the exceptions are competitive online games with anticheat enabled.

all posts are good posts (except bad posts but u r trusted with the solemn responsibility because it's easy not to make actively atrocious posts)

I'm regularly on lemmy.ml

i also like posts, comment on posts, and share posts

wait. the joker that shows up in the successful 2022 batman has no relation to the joker from the successful 2019 batman?

i feel honored

this spambot doesn't even get that buttcoin isn't a web3 thing, but this is advertising buttcoin. you can't web3 with bitcoin even if you wanted to. not even with the lightning network

also this person doesn't know that stormgain's referral id is a unique and reversible identifer. i will find where you live, BNS186939763

eugh we're on the same side, but this just reminds me of why i don't visit raddle. this masterlist sucks

to be clear without irony: i can't vote for joe biden, and facts and logic don't dictate you should vote for him. but this masterlist sucks lol

(my "joe biden facts and logic" full post goes into the philosophy of thought, acknowledging humans can't have all the facts and logic, and so much rely on modeling uncertainty, thinking epistemologically, and using heuristics. the conclusion is that if voting for joe biden causes bile to raise up your throat, you shouldn't vote for him.

but thats meandering and not a good post so i didnt post it. used 1600 words when "voting for joe biden makes me puke" is enough)

anyways. the list

the very first link is republican propaganda! it's a "GOP War Room" youtube video that cuts him off mid sentence to make the b it juicy. (30 years ago, biden said "what happens to haiti doesn't impact us national interests, even if it started levitating or sinking." the gross part is the first bit, but it focuses on the "levitating or sinking" bit.)

and the republican propaganda is not even the worst part!

it's disingenuous to pretend the biden admin's actions regarding lgbt people, students, labor, etc. are (1) not significantly better than the trump admin, or (2) even comparable to supporting genocide or putting children in cages.

the "Student?" one is the worst part. student loan forgiveness is the brightest point in the biden admin. they tried to get $10K/student relieved, and fought it all the way to the supreme court. they've done everything else they can do short of packing the courts, and they've forgiven like $10 billion in student loans so far, as well as forgiving interest and making repayments easier.

this is on the same list that (correctly) points out how important joe biden is to the ongoing genocide machine.

i think this lesser-evilism thing is self-defeating. "lesser evilism" is just compromise, and i'm compromising when i ally with the kind of people who make these kinds of lists. (but to be clear, i'm not allied with the OP. from their post history, i think they'd qualify half of jstpst as white supremacists)

tldr: joe biden sucks but i dont want to be facebook about it
