chitak166, to linux in KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland Future

Eh, I always discredit people when they say X is bad.

It’s been around for over 20 years. That kind of longevity should be praised.

chitak166, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

The only real downside I see is that it complicates waterproofing.

It’s also more movable parts.

chitak166, to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

Physical buttons in most things are going away whenever companies see they can do it.

It’s weird looking at appliances from decades ago, mostly because it’s clear we are stuck with lower quality where people are willing to concede.

chitak166, to asklemmy in Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Yeah, he’s reddit-brained for sure.

chitak166, to linux in How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

So fucking dumb how we have to look for specific models just to get support for smartphones.

Can you image if Linux only ran on HP and dell laptops?

chitak166, to linux in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?

I just use ext4.

chitak166, to linux in Laptop with long runtime

Do you mean battery life?

chitak166, (edited ) to linux in Experience with KDE on Fedora?

I’d recommend Mint or Manjaro for family computers.

Probably Mint, just because Pamac still has issues.

Fedora is a bad choice because you’re stuck in the dnf ecosystem with no real benefit.

I’m a firm believer that the only value in Fedora is for Red Hat. Their shills are the ones who promote it over more practical options.

chitak166, to linux in What is the point of dbus?

No, you see, additional layers of abstraction are always a good thing. Haven’t you been paying attention to the latest software memes? /s

chitak166, to piracy in Where to find flac and other lossless file types

Soulseek with Nicotine+.

There’s a lossless filter.

chitak166, to piracy in Amazon's Prime Video will start serving ads on January 29 unless you pay extra

Undone is probably the only show worth watching on prime, and you can stream it for free here: fmoviesz.to

It’s never been about proving trans and cis folks of the same gender are “identical”, no one is arguing that

Speak for yourself, I see people arguing it all the time.

if you don’t believe in them then you’re just objectively, provably, scientifically wrong.

Yeah, just like if you don’t believe homosexuality is a mental disorder in 1952 then you are “scientifically wrong.” Soft sciences aren’t ‘objective’ like hard sciences, which is why they are currently having a reproducibility crisis.

Do you believe in otherkin? I’m sure they would react identically as you towards people who don’t see them the way they want to be seen.

chitak166, (edited ) to asklemmy in Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

No. The artists I like are pretty much universally good people because they’re not wildly successful and had to mature in order to survive. I can’t think of a single artist I am a fan of who has done things that would cause me to question the integrity of their character or reassess their work.

Usually people who have this issue are ones who listen to shitty music or like shitty actors that only care about making money and being superior to others.

It’s no surprise to me that people like R Kelly pee on teenage girls, or Chris Brown beats women, or David Bowie has sex with underage girls. None of this surprises me because their creations and lifestyles reflect who they are as people. It’s always funny seeing their fans being met with cognitive dissonance, though.

I can’t really name any actors though because I already don’t like the vast majority of shit that gets pumped out of hollywood and I’m not exposed to it often. I’m sure people who are more familiar with their crap will have no problem thinking of examples, though.

chitak166, to memes in We need to stop attempts to normalize grind/hustle lifestyle

Gotta stop putting suckers and suckerism on a pedestal.

chitak166, to piracy in Where to find flac and other lossless file types

That’s a pretty shitty rule, lol.

We should be educating people on how to get stuff for free whenever possible.
