Vespair, to linuxmemes in An unbiased comparison of linux distributions' setup

Still getting this when I try to open Ubuntu:

*Installing, this may take a few minutes… WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80370114 Error: 0x80370114 The operation could not be started because a required feature is not installed.

Press any key to continue…*

I did make sure the subsystem feature in windows features was turned on, btw

Not to ambush you into tech support, but I decided to take your advice and try that, but I’m instantly stopped and trying to google the answer for myself is just leading to vague powershell language and I’m fully unfamiliar with powershell. I installed WSL and Ubuntu, but when I attempt to open Ubuntu I’m getting:

“Installing, this may take a few minutes… WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80004002 Error: 0x80004002 No such interface supported”

Any idea what I’m doing wrong? The site I’m following (your link) doesn’t mention this error or how to overcome it, unless I’m just to dumb to decipher it.

What’s the process of switching distros? If I start with Mint but do decide later I’m enticed by those shiny new features, will switching over be akin to starting entirely over and learning a whole new system, or is it gonna more similar to just like reinstalling windows for a clean install (to use an analogy situation I’m familiar with)?

edit: wrote dispo instead of distro, goddamn stoner brain

Especially considering there people consider themselves to be the “tolerant” one’s

Where does this come from? Because the only people I’ve ever heard use the term “tolerant left” were people on the right.

This is all just decorum tone-policing, a way conservatives and those in the status quo quiet dissent by holding oppositional voices to a higher standard than they hold themselves. As a leftist, I believe in equity, I believe in free expression, and I believe in not judging others by their intrinsic and immutable qualities such as skin tone, familial background, and appearance. But I also absolutely believe in judging people on the defining characteristics they choose for themselves: their words, their actions, and their beliefs. I’m left as fuck, but I’m not going to tolerate hate, or exploitation, or evilness; don’t call me fucking tolerant.

To that note, you’ll notice religion (in terms of belief, not background; there are some cases where this muddy) falls squarely in the “what I believe” section, meaning that is the kind of thing we should judge a person’s character based on. And tbh, since Christianity, especially Western popular evangelical Christianity isn’t exactly a neutral or non-impactful influence on the world, why should it be spared legitimate criticism? If we leftists believe in building a better world by repairing or tearing down and replacing broken systems for the sake of the betterment of mankind, why is that particular system (which again, is not neutral on non-impactful in influence) supposedly off-limits? Why are you okay with us raging against all of the other machines oppression but that one? Why are you okay with the righteous work of changing minds and educating others against governmental structures but not religious ones?

Somewhere down the line conservatives tricked leftists into thinking that “don’t judge people for their skin and background” should stretch to “don’t judge people for the literally insane shit that they believe despite the fact that the insane belief will literally inform all of their choices, both legislatively and personally,” and it is absolutely fucked that so many leftists have fallen for it.

Don’t judge people for what they are; do judge people for what they do, what they say, and what they think.

Are there tankies? Yes, absolutely. That being said, is the term “tankie” being thrown around way too cavalierly and dismissively on Lemmy? Ab-so-fucking-lutely.

I thought reddit was into assigning labels to people dismissively, but holy shit it’s on another level here on Lemmy.

Just like how not everyone who disagreed with you on Reddit was a Nazi, not everyone who says something you dislike on Lemmy is a tankie

edit: small typo

Vespair, to linuxmemes in Oh no ...

I think they just meant if you’re a total Linux newbie, one who might not even be familiar with stackoverflow, trying to troubleshoot Linux via a typical search engine (a very normal thing a normal newbie who doesn’t know better would do) won’t lead to helpful results do the current enshitification of Google and Bing. I’m pretty sure that’s all they meant bro

Vespair, to linuxmemes in Oh no ...

Well yeah but nobody complains about the frosting on a cake

Vespair, to linuxmemes in Oh no ...

Also older. The average Lemmy user is much older than the average reddit user. Which I would love if it stuck just to averages, but I don’t think we’ve got a very wide range here; we need some new blood/youthful energy if we want this to thrive and grow. But as it is now, I think Lemmy is a kind of a haven for FOSS old heads for a bit but doesn’t have a lot of fuel in the tank for the future, unless we see a bit of a cultural shift here.

Vespair, (edited ) to memes in The whole situation sickens me

The only good guys in this conflict are the innocent uninvolved citizens on all sides. Aside from that, everyone involved, including those on the ground on the conflict, those in the situation rooms, and those both funding and manipulating the situation from outside are all the bad guys.

Anyone who tries to paint this as a simple moral conclusion, and not as one part in one of the most complicated and difficult geopolitical situations on the entire planet, is either an idiot or part of a propaganda campaign, knowingly or not. These trite oversimplifications are insultingly reductive to the situation, do nothing to help any of the actual potential victims, and only serve to foster both misinformed reductive thinking and harmful attitudes towards groups without the full context to reconcile these impressions.

There is an information war being waged by many forces on all sides of this conflict right now; be wary of anyone who encourages reductive thinking on complex issues when lives are on the line.

Vespair, to memes in Yes. We're better than you.

Exactly. This is why your stupid superfluous dashed sevens are heretical. Nobody should ever ask me if my 3 is a 7; what an absolutely absurd question.

Vespair, to memes in I won’t download your stupid app

If you moderated a sub before the API ban and used the Boost app, then Boost still works for you. Thank god for my tiny sub.

Vespair, to memes in Think about it…

This meme would probably hit a lot harder if I had any idea who even a single one of these men were. Throwing niche memes in the big meme basket is a bold strategy

Vespair, to comicstrips in "Just Season It" by Mr.Lovenstein

Nobody wants you here, and I suspect nobody else has ever wanted you anywhere else either. Please spill back into the sewers with the rest of the waste.

Vespair, to memes in those ppl...

Boost still works if you were a moderator prior to the “ban.”

Thank god for my teeny-tiny private sub; Boost is so much better than the unusable official app

Vespair, to piracy in Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.

I’m not defending them, but this was clearly always the plan. It was obvious they intended to enter the market just under competitor prices to establish a foothold and then later charge more and reset the industry standard in doing so.

Again, I’m not saying it doesn’t suck, because it does, but this was clearly the Disney+ game plan since day 1
