prole, (edited ) to linux in Thinking about making the big switch – recommend me a distro!

I second EndeavourOS. My first distro and it’s been a great experience. I’ve felt no desire to switch.

Steam/games have worked great.

Religion is a malignant tumor on humanity

prole, to piracy in The New Yorker paywall.

Have you tried using reader mode in Firefox? Or did they fix that one? Still works for me on other sites like New York Times.

prole, to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?

You can do all of that with most basic file explorers. I use Dolphin on KDE. Change the view to “details” and right click the top and choose which metadata fields you want to show up. Then you can sort or filter using metadata.

A true agent of chaos

prole, (edited ) to piracy in Do you prefer private or public trackers?

My private tracker days are behind me after they shut down OiNK, and then later what.cd. Though I can’t say I don’t miss it sometimes. At its peak, What was an amazing place.

prole, to linux in Just install EndeavorOS lol

Recently switched to Linux a couple months ago and can’t recommend EndeavorOS more. It’s great.

prole, (edited ) to news in Top UN official in New York steps down citing ‘genocide’ of Palestinian civilians

So the letter was just for funsies? Seems like he was planning on retiring soon, and that date was moved up for reasons outlined in his letter.

prole, to news in Israel military reportedly surrounding hospitals in Gaza and shooting at those trying to flee, UN says

At this point it feels like Netanyahu has a checklist with 6 million boxes, and is checking them off as fast as possible so they can finally get even with Germany or something.

“Retiring” and “resigning” are different things. He may have been near retirement age, but the statement he made makes it clear this was a resignation for a cause. With a good reason.

prole, to piracy in HBO Does not streams WestWorld anymore

Eh it’s really not that bad. I knew exactly what you were trying to convey, and didn’t even recognize any errors in the title until I saw that comment and reread it.

Regardless, you pluralized “streams,” when in that case it should just be “stream”. As a native English speaker, I don’t think I could explain the actual “rule” or whatever, it’s just automatic in my brain. In fact, I don’t even think I’m right that you “pluralized” it. I think you just added an ‘s’ so it changes the form or some shit… Man I don’t know.

So it would be like:

Does not stream

Or maybe something like:

No longer streams

If you want to keep the ‘s’.

prole, to piracy in PSA: Don't torrent over TOR

That’s kind of what they said though?

prole, to asklemmy in How do I learn to detect logical fallacies in a conversation?

I know it sounds dismissive, but I would get an Introduction to Logic and Reasoning textbook, and read it and attempt the problems. The internet is great, and you can get a lot from wikis, but you’re not going to beat the amount of useful info condensed into a book like that. The problems will also help you apply the knowledge. Also, since logic doesn’t generally change much over time, you don’t need to worry about getting the most up to date edition.

The only way to really get good at detecting fallacious arguments is practice.
