Yep, he’s probably ending nato. Or at least he keeps promising to do that, and there’s nothing that will stop him, so… Good luck! We’ll all fucking need it!

Anything going to happen about it…? No? Alrighty then. Neat.

“Actually I like having my face eaten.”

You should really think about how a fairly straightforward reframing of your actions reads, even to you, like an intentionally negative characterization (or even an attack). If thats how it looks to you, imagine how it must look to other people.

Sure, but it does speak to that user’s definition, which is what they were talking about. And honestly, their definition is pretty much the standard. ‘A pejorative term for supporters of authoritarian regimes, particularly communist ones’ is the definition in some form across every site I’ve turned up in the thirty seconds I spent on this. It’s what everyone else in this thread appears to be using. Seems like its pretty agreed on.

Ah yes, the “no u” gambit. Classic, deadly, refined. The most elegant of rebuttals. A refuge for only the sharpest of wits.

Anyways, do you mean different views like say, someone holding different (and by your own admission, quite common) opinions about how your conduct reflects on your character…?

Uh… Yeah, it does. It literally defines the meaning and the context in which the term is used. Thats… how language works. Fundementally.

Have you stopped to consider that maybe you’re just an asshole?

No, seriously, you’re whining about being called a tankie when… like dude, you’re a tankie. Half your comments are just bringing up how EU/UK support for Ukraine’s defense is a frivolous waste or similar. I doubt you think of yourself like this but to an outside observer you’re deeply toxic.

You can order amazon deliveries to most cruise ships now. They have onboard slaves valued team members and a desk where you can pick up your packages, and amazon handles the logistics of getting stuff onto the boat. I fucking hate them all the more because of how impressed I am by this truly astonishing feat of logistical engineering. I guess it makes sense that they could do this though, since amazon already has installations at pretty much every port in the world this isn’t much of an investment on their part.

I’m very curious what those coders meant! For what it’s worth, what you’re describing is essentially Proton and it has been extremely difficult to develop and requires a great deal of ongoing support. Cross-compiling is super hard, its the reason Android runs on (essentially) the JVM and that windows implemented UWP, and its the root cause behind driver compatability issues. I’m just not sure what you mean, I guess.

Anecdotal evidence blahblahblah. For example: I just had to reverse engineer some epson drivers to get my fucking printer to play with my USB hub. Shit sucks sometimes, and I’m not going to pretend windows doesn’t also have it’s moments, but they sure as hell are less frequent (for me recently) than they are on windows.

Linux by its nature is very fractious (See: the Gentoo vs Debian debate that had been going on since the dawn of time…), and that means we don’t get one general distro. Linux’s big strength is in it’s customizability, and while for you and me it’s clearly a great option that we love and cherish, for my grandma it’s just not there in terms of plug-n’-play usability. Also, it was probably made by the wrong sort of Baptist or something, my grandma is awful.
…
Anyways, while I love Linux, it’s nice that there’s an option for the people who just don’t care. I’d love for them to start caring, because they should, but until I’m made omnipotent dictator for life it’s just not going to happen. And that sucks, but at least I don’t get calls at 4am asking why they cant get a flatpak working on debian. (I know it’s supported but…)

Because debian.

Urm. No. In a few cases thats true, but for most complex systems, or even just ones that rely on non-default engine extensions (a category that includes nearly all games), they really do need work invested into them. Steam and proton are are making this better but its really not at ‘just check a box’ levels of ease yet.

Shoo! Don’t make me get the broom!

Is this what passes for bait these days? Shoo, go on, git. Back to your imageboard.

It’s pretty clear that they meant “a constant factor in our daily lives”, you really don’t need to be this hostile.

They’ll be happy. Like… they really clearly actually want this. Even when their faces get eaten, they’re all enthusiastically for it.

Sale hasn’t been approved by the bankruptcy court yet.

Yeah, sadly the writing is on the wall for public support of LGBT rights. Fucking hell…

Yeah, don’t think it was a secret by any means but I do think my understanding of bankruptcy proceedings is lacking to the point I have no idea if that will invalidate the sale like InfoWars is claiming in their suit.
