Yeah I like it. It reminds me of how Ask Reddit used to be.

Ever since Ask Reddit removed the body section of posts, just leaving people with the title section to work with, I feel like it’s mostly been generic dull questions where everyone says basically the same thing and doesn’t elaborate.

Prime examples:

Q: Men what is something we can all agree on?

A: We’ve all fantasized about being the hero in some daydream scenario.

and

Q: What is the most basic thing you are terrible at?

A: Holding a conversation.

I’d rather hear about someone’s struggles to install Arch Linux

Car diagnostic software and tunning software?

Hello all. I was looking for a specific Car diagnostic software package and I noticed that this type of software doesn’t come across often on the seas. are their any good places I can go to start looking for this kind of software. The software often cost up to 500 dollars or more and for me it would be a one time maiby 2 time...

That might be because there are free and open source versions out there

You didn’t mention what features you need. I’m saying it’s option that might work for someone who just wants to fetch some metrics from their vehicle

This might be obvious but when you connect your phone to your PC have you enabled file transfers? Usually it defaults to charging only. It should show up in your notification bar.

Yeah it’s weird how privacy and piracy have blended together over the years.

With some games you need to pirate them if you don’t want a Russian nesting doll of launchers and accounts that are able to leak your information and fill your computer with bloat.

I do find the argument interesting some YouTubers try to make about ad blockers being a form of piracy.

Yeah. I think that’s part of getting older and having some degree of stability. It’s not like grade school where new stuff is constantly coming at you

I know some of family don’t because they mostly rely on mobile devices and devices like Chromecasts where installing ad blockers can be a challenge. They don’t use traditional computers.

They know apps like NewPipe exist but the effort to port things over or not get recommendations is too much for them.

I do use ad blockers and open source front ends/software/alternatives. Ex. AntennaPod instead of Spotify for podcasts and Linux instead of Windows because I didn’t like ads in the start menu (amongst numerous other things).

Some of the subreddits I follow are related to emulation and piracy which has caused some subreddits to get banned or at least take action to limit legal threats. When the Reddit blackout happened a lot of them went down and said they were shifting here. I find they’re a little more open to discussion than other places that just copy and paste some old post or refer you to a Wiki

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

Here is a Darknet Diaries episode about it where Garry Bowser talks about that and his history of modding devices and Team Executer

Pretty interesting if you have an hour and a half to kill.

The video is covering the Toughbook CF-19 but it’s not mentioned in the title and the thumbnail looks like generic YouTube trash and makes me not want to watch it out of principle.

I kind of felt that way about NerdCubed. I just felt like he was becoming too pretentious and that he was rebooting his channel every couple months

I know they said the mods were deleting posts about whatever it was but do you have a link to the discussion or proof?

This major change won’t affect existing EndeavourOS users as they will be able to continue enjoying the Arch Linux-based distro with their favorite desktop environment. On the other hand, the devs removed the Sway, Qtile, BSPWM, Openbox, and Worm community editions from the Calamares installer as there’s no one left to maintain them.

May also be relevant to some users.

The devs explain the switch from Xfce to KDE Plasma as a way to make EndeavourOS development and maintenance easier for them as they have a more native experience with the Calamares installer.

Could someone explain to me why the Calamares installer would have to do with them deciding on KDE over XFCE?

I think the closest you can get to that is illegal numbers

Another example could be clean room design. Essentially reverse engineering code without using copyrighted code. Having someone on a team who has reviewed leaked code could compromise a project and make it more likely to be hit with a copyright claim if they slip up.

This has been an issue/topic of debate with multiple open source projects such as ReactOS.

I could be slightly off here but this is my understanding of it. I hope someone corrects me if I’m off base.

A terrifying exhibit about what cloacas are

According to Steam's terms and conditions can they remove games from your library and are Steam emulators allowed?

This is in reference to a post titled https://leminal.space/post/1113224. The title is kind of self-explanatory and piracy was brought up in the comments. Someone mentioned GOG and Steam granting users indefinite licenses to users regardless of whether or not the game is still being sold....

Before Andy Sum made Crossy Roads he made a game called Game of the Year: 420 Blaze It VS. xxXilluminatiXxx (www.gameoftheyear420blazeit.com)

It was created around the peak of the MLG trend and is absolutely covered in memes. I just find it funny that came out around the same time as their other game Crossy Roads which would go on to be quite popular even appearing in numerous arcades.
