Yeah, you’re right, but also, the commenter above isn’t just being mean for the sake of it, there is a real issue at the heart of it.

The issue is that having 1 person come around to your side implies the millions that don’t and won’t.

Some of those people simply don’t share any underlying morals in common so that’s fine, you’ll never see eye to eye in ideas because your goals are ultimately different.

Some of those people also just don’t care and/or don’t know.

Some people will never care, and that’s fine too, but some of those people will care if they do know.

Spreading information to those people is tough when you don’t have backing of the govcorp media ecosystem and it doesn’t help when the ideas you want to get across are sophisticated, boring and fairly nuanced and require lots of context.

It also doesn’t help that this would-be progressive in their ignorance could be damaging to the cause when misinformed, which means that sometimes you have to argue against this person and potentially turn them off the movement forever, because you never really know whether it’s possible to sway someone until you do.

That’s what makes ignorance trolling or JAQing so effective because progressives will either have to waste time explaining openly to someone who will never agree and only feigns ignorance, or risk being potentially a confrontational asshole with a genuinely ignorant person.

It also doesn’t help morale of said progressive when confronted with all that, that many of us simply learned about this information on our own, we never asked anybody of anything, we just explored enough perspectives on issues we cared about until our bullshit-o-meters were finely tuned enough to find truth and construct a path from reality now to future we’d like.

On the other hand, convincing some people who are actually sway-able to not want the world to function like a war crime can be like pulling teeth, people are zealous defenders of their opinions because it reflects badly on their self-esteem if they are misinformed and someone else isn’t, especially in the Information Age.

I speak from a progressive viewpoint but it’s just as true for any real ideological position, information is the fuel that turns simple moral beliefs into functional ideology.

For as long as we live in a democracy, we need to somehow solve the systemic issue of ignorance at scale without inventing a ministry of truth type situation and being able to effectively counter trolling and JAQing/sealioning while also treating those asking questions with the utmost care and having the emotional stamina to do that when many of us had nothing of the sort.

It’s a tough position, even describing it or explaining it is tough enough already when fewer and fewer people even seem to even just read at all.

Then there is often just confusion over what someone open to information actually wants, e.g. the Adam Something guide to dating video he made where he said that teenage and adolescent men want instructions and not philosophical musings on the concept of dating and purpose and approach came as a genuine shock to me, because from my, non-male perspective I can’t imagine anyone needing instructions or explanations of that sort of thing.

NetEase owns Quantic Dream (guys who made Heavy Rain etc.). Small world eh

This has happened to me before as well, there’s so many reasons a site or anything on your end or in-between could be down or have issues, that’s why mirrors work so well for resiliency! Glad you’re back up to speed now.

Deb-src is the source code repository iirc. Unless you regularly download and read source code, you do not need it.

Yeah, why would I click the link? The article text is in the post. Your post. Lol.

So I have read the text before commenting actually, and even if it’s not the complete text, the general summary seems to be sufficient to determine the content and positions of this article.

Do feel free to prove me wrong though.

I have great respect for peeps on the sdf instance for SDF teaching me about the pubnix and old VAX/PDP systems, though of course you could be a boomer who’s nostalgic (rather than a young person interested in older tech, which are kind of opposites if you think about it), and therefore statistically a homeowner.

That would probably mean you are acting in your class interests by posting an article that seems to imply that decreasing the price of housing is anything but a good thing and that housing should have any value beyond being homes people live in.

I could be wrong though ofc.

Use X. Wayland is dead on arrival.

For all the mad ones here’s a reminder: the Steam Deck uses X for the desktop. You think if Wayland had a future, maybe Valve would see it? Considering they took Wine and made it functional and all.

Nevermind launching games via just Proton itself on the KDE desktop, but even if you use a nested gamescope session - it only supports X.

That’s not to mention that for any gaming outside of the steam deck, you’re gonna be using a real GPU that can actually play games properly, and NoVideo drivers only support X properly. You can either stay stinky with Wayland, or play with Path Tracing on.

Only GNOME Devs like Wayland. KDE, Valve, Qt and many other FOSS contributor individuals and orgs alike support and use X primarily.

Wayland is the IPv6 of the display protocol world.

Edit: guy replying to me is already blocked, what a surprise!

They will never spin low property values as a bad thing when I live in the west and know first hand the devastation to life caused by so-called “high property values”. The joblessness, the homelessness, the abuses by slumlords, sick house syndrome etc etc.

Homes are a human right and are meant to be lived in, they are not for speculation or investment or flipping. I want the entire housing “”“market”“” to vanish and idgaf what economic damage it does anymore, rent-seeking isn’t producing value for the common man, it’s extracting it, and I’m sick of being extracted from.

I get a 404 on those URLs too. Try a mirror? Look up Debian mirrors and try one of those

Closest I can find is:

media.peerconnection.enabled

This disables all the WebRTC cancer.

In chrome you can also search for WebRTC but that’s the culprit I think.

In addition I’d recommend giving this a read:

Especially comment 136

Look at the mentioned media scale flag too.

And this other thread:

Good fucking luck.

Mozilla can’t put together a half way functional browser to save their life and lick up every enshittification doohickey that falls of the back of the burning Trainwreck that is Google.

Like Snowdon. Went running from one evil empire into the hands of another.

It was this for me, but it only works in one direction - when turning it down. So turning down YT volume means turning down system audio, then turning up YT audio is just turning up the YT audio. Insane behaviour. There is a way to turn this off in Firefox flags (about:config). This shit also messes with your system mic volume on MS Teams.

Wouldn’t be so sure about that. If anyone unfamiliar with the games watched it in large numbers I’m 99% sure there’s someone out there who thought it was a more futuristic 1950s, not a more retro futuristic 2077. I’m actually not sure even Todd Howard knows

Wow this is shockingly familiar. Why tf is it happening in Chille, though? Like is anyone even migrating to Chille?

How are “books offline” more proper English than books online, exactly? They’re the same books, no?

We cannot prove a negative, there is no way to say that something has absolutely zero risk, and no burden of evidence is ever enough for many (for instance of this: see the puberty blockers & trans HRT debates or any vaccine safety debates).

Therefore the burden of proof is on those who claim there is a risk. We can do our best to rule out what harms we can, as you said - as a precaution, but we cannot simply ban everything until proof that literally cannot exist arrives that something is risk-free.

The question is whether the risks outweigh the rewards. And the rewards of being able to use plastic everywhere are actually massive, there are so many medical and scientific applications that just wouldn’t be possible without the wonder of plastic. So much QoL enhancing stuff like access to internet and food and water in most deprived places got so much more accessible thanks to the physical and economic properties of plastic, and no I don’t mean corporate profits I literally mean it is cheaper even by labour value theory terms.

If anything is unscientific. It’s your, we have no conclusive proof so let’s keep flying to the sun and see what happens. I value health over profit though. I guess that might be where we differ.

Flying into the sun to see what happens is how we find out what happens. That’s actual science. Best we can do is rule out some risks based on what we know, which we have done and continue doing to this day.

I don’t value profit whatsoever, I’m as leftist as you and probably more so, please chill with the condescending tone, I’m on your side, but your line of argument is flawed and a one way street to reactionary thinking and stifling of human progress.

You’re missing the point. If asbestos didn’t do any harm, we wouldn’t have had to ban it.

It’s possible that microplastics do not actually do any harm. You must consider this possibility to maintain a sharp and sound mind capable of critical analysis and a healthy scepticism and scrutiny.

Jumping to conclusions that anything unnatural must be harmful like asbestos because some substances like asbestos have harmed us in the past is anti-intellectualism.

The real issue right now is that we do not know if any humans without microplastics in them, making it impossible to gather evidence from a control group population to actually be able to attribute any observed things to microplastics.

Or they could be doing nothing harmful at all.

Did this with Reshade playing that Radiohead Amnesia Exhibition thing and Marvel’s Insomniac’s PS4 Spider-Man on PC. It was great!

I guess I can see the appeal, though for me this seems mostly like an issue with the home setup.

For me, I don’t really care about price, it’s not that expensive.

But what kills it for me is I can’t vape or pause the movie or rewind or flip on subtitles or control the volume, I can’t take a break to take a piss and I can’t comment on the movie with anyone I’m watching it with and I get to pay 20 bucks plus waste my day on travel so I could hear random strangers munch popcorn while I am forced to watch military recruitment ads and trailers for movies that somehow outslop actual AI slop that are always called some shit like “$80s_intellectual_property_name” or “shit world: dominator” and they always seem to have that one lady from the avengers in them.

At home I watch web-DLs (and BDRemuxes for special occasions) on a 24 inch computer monitor with somewhat dodgy 2.1 Logitech speakers (basically classroom ones but with a subwoofer unit) from over 6 feet away and I lounge on the chespest IKEA couch. It feels like paradise to me honestly. But thanks for the perspective.
