Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity (“I’m just trying to have a debate”), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

Or simply choose a instance that defederates fascists and authoritarian loving dipsshits. Never had a problem here with far right or tankie content.

Die FDP hat hart dafür gekämpft, mit ihrer “Opposition in der Regierung” Taktik. Der einzige Lichtblick ist, dass hoffentlich dies die erste und letzte Ampel war. Die Neoliberalen werden immer sabotieren.

No idea if Ubuntu does some things better for gaming, but I just use the Steam Flatpak (+ the “steam-devices” package for much better controller support) and the Heroic Game Launcher Flatpak. Everything works fine on my end. I’m currently using an AMD card, but will probably switch to an Intel Arc in the near future (since they have better performance for 3d rendering in Blender, and I’m fed up with Nvidia’s prices).

Flatpak will probably be the official default format for non-open software in the future.

Great news. Should there be someday a community version with KDE, I will definitely give it a try. Anyway, I wish them success,

Heroic Game Launcher ist awesome. Use it for both, my Epic and GOG libraries.

Me: Lenore’s relationship is so messed up!

Also me: That’s hot.

Mekuro will be interesting when they integrate email in it. And Elisa is already a great music player that I use for my local collection.

I agree. The FOSS movement is its own subculture that can be pretty preachy and annoying for outside people.

Linux Mint. People praise it as the perfect Window replacement yet when I tried it for a week, it didn’t do anything better than default KDE Plasma Desktop. And since the devs haven’t even started to work on Wayland support, the Distro will soon fall way behind.

For buying or donating (maybe even subscriptions). Both open source and proprietary software. They’re working on it.

Seems like Canonical wants to push snaps now really hard. I hope that Flathub soon implements its payment structure, before companies flock to the Canonical store.

A bullet in the head or a heroin overdose would have been cheaper and had costs fewer lives, but Russia is Russia. They love their “accidents”.

Yup if I hadn’t blocked several communities from appearing constantly in my feed, I would leave too.

yup

Spotify bleeds money just like all the other streaming services and is kept alive by dumb investors that think, it will be someday profitable. Maybe they should stop trying to push so hard for podcasts and focus on their core business.

Big yikes. In that case, I wouldn’t recommend Mint to beginners at all. Alone, the whole Sandbox concept of Flatpak needs Wayland to work properly. Wayland is the future, regardless if you like it or not.

The only reason why this dipshit wants to get rid of the block feature is because he’s probably the most blocked person on Twitter. People were sick of his dumb, unfunny brain farts getting pushed into their timeline and blocked him, and his ego can’t handle it.

My best wishes to the Admins, the whole thing must have been exhausting and depressing. I purposefully stayed out of the entire discussion since I’m not a member of Blahaj. I think it’s for the better, because I have read a lot in hexbear and the people there are absolute toxic and unhinged. The mentioned Lemm.ee thread was absolutely swarmed with people from hexbear. Like, 3/4 of the comments must have been them. Anyway, wish you all the best.
