I came here for people’s group chat incidents
What I actually got is a flame war against vegans and a flame war against non vegans and they both hate vegetarians
Please reply with your group chat incidents

I see
but why is a singular enter character treated just like a space
look at the raw text of the comment, the above sentence’s “spaces” are line breaks
is there a use for this functionality?


My first pc was an ubuntu pc that i had for quite a while. As a teen I recieved this Macbook from my dad. My family is all Mac users rn. My dad is an IT guy and prefers FreeBSD over Linux for technical stuff such as servers, and Mac over Linux for personal computers. Now that I recently became a libre software fan, I used a Linux VM and found that KDE blows Aqua out of the water.


Another incorrect answer: Manjaro

If you want Arch but a bit easier, just install EndeavourOS.


Windows refugee: Linux Mint or Fedora KDE
Mac refugee: Linux Mint or Fedora KDE
PC gamer: Bazzite (or Linux Mint or Fedora KDE)
edit: fuck markdown, why do line breaks only work in pairs on lemmy, this is not a thing with markdown on discord so why here? it’s annoying


I hate GNOME because it feels like an iPhone.
real


Fedora w/ Gnome for Mac converts is a no brainer
I use Mac (I’ll install Asahi Linux once it supports connecting a monitor) and hate GNOME and hate Aqua (the MacOS DE)
I personally prefer KDE
Pro-tip: don’t install Windows, don’t use any “debloaters”, just install Linux Mint
You’ll enjoy a long and happy OS life.

So fucking true like why the fuck do all of these damn corposhit platforms fucking hate random ass words just because advertisers are scared as fuck of having their crap advertised next to them?? I’ve actually fucking seen these cunts censor “stole” and “bullet”, what is this damn bullshit?? Shut your fucking asses up stupid corpobitches and stop fucking whining about random fucking words!! Random shitty ads that people block anyway are your fucking reason for annoying the hell out of people who happen to use these words? I will fucking kill these fucks with a fucking gun - they even censor “kill” and “gun” because advertisers are SO FUCKING FRAGILE that they cannot take any fucking mention of death or violence. The shitty enshittified shit platforms owned by billionaire shitheads are ASS and the fediverse’s war against them needs to be fucking accelerated or we won’t be allowed to say “glass” anymore because shards of glass can fucking hurt you and the jackasses will think that this means that the damn word will need censoring into oblivion. Or maybe the fragile fuckers will lobby to make using these fucking words illegal like the damn UAE has it. Fuck you corpobitches 🖕🖕🖕




This is an outdated expectation, although it could also be considered respectful on a date.
I’ve heard that in restaurants in the USA you often give your credit card and they scan it and return it because they don’t have portable terminals. I’ve also heard that it’s often returned to the man regardless of name on card / who gave it. Both of these seem very outdated.


Proton is not a linux distribution it is a compatibility layer for Windows apps to run on Linux.
For a linux beginner I’d recommend Linux Mint definitely.

VPNs are not a good option. Use Tor. The problem with VPNs is that you can’t prove that logs aren’t kept, companies are not trustworthy. A “VPN” is a “Virtual Private Network” and the system is intended for accessing a private network, not for accessing the internet. “VPN” companies’s products are not VPNs they are encrypted proxies.

Not quite. Vegans don’t eat any animal products of any kind. Vegetarians don’t eat products that necessitate killing an animal to produce, but allow others. Note that these other products are usually from animals that will be killed for food, and that the animals that won’t be murdered still also suffer.
