That’s just like, openly, demonstrably false. Poor countries greatly benefit from having open borders to wealthier nations, as it removes barriers to bringing that wealth back into those poor countries. Closed borders only serve to keep rich countries rich, and poor countries poor.

Next to no one is fleeing to Mexico for economic opportunity.

You framing it as "fleeing"really drives home your biases. If there were an open border between the US and Mexico, we’d see two-way movement way more often, as it’d be way easier for Mexicans to come to the US seeking economic opportunity, build some wealth, then take that back across the open border to Mexico to their family/dependents/community. We see that pretty much everywhere there’s an open border or some sort of economic cooperation zone.

So you’re actually arguing against a straw man then. You’ve invented this concept of “inhabitant”, as something less than a citizen, and not given any actual evidence for it’s existence, or valid justification for why it deserves less than a citizen.

I’ve read the whole thread, how do you think I got down here?

They take up space without contributing, that’s the difference between an inhabitant, and a citizen.

This is what you just said. Can you explain how I mischaracterized it? I feel like I just reworded this sentence pretty directly.

I play tons of multiplayer games with anti cheat. The ones that don’t run are the ones I wouldn’t even play on a Windows machine though

Hmm, maybe you have a point. Oh wait, I know of something that would help reduce those harmful effects!

Open borders

So you believe that when a foreigner comes into the country, they simply just exist and take up space? You don’t think they, you know, buy things and work?

Moms 10 times out of 10, no contest

Yeah I’m saying cars should be safer, not that KDE should kill you

No, I’ve never employed the aid of drugs or alcohol to obtain enthusiastic consent before engaging in sexual activity with any of my partners. If there’s no enthusiastic consent, I do not pursue sexual activity. Using drugs or alcohol as an aid in acquiring enthusiastic consent is predatory.

This situation isn’t comparable to consenting adults meeting at a bar. Providing drugs and alcohol to “entice” women into having sex is predatory behavior, whether or not the women partake consensually or not. Play devil’s advocate if you want, but I don’t think that behavior deserves defending/rationalizing/whatever you want to call it.

And you see how that makes it seem like you’re defending that behavior right? By sane-washing it? By making it seem like an appropriate “solution” instead of the bad behavior it is?

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. I definitely recognize that gaming isn’t 100% perfect on Linux yet, and graphics drivers can still be a pain. I think both of those statements hold true on Windows though, and I don’t think I’d consider a gamer an “average” PC user. PC gaming is a niche hobby. A large niche maybe, but it’s not the main thing people use a PC for. So I think it’s a little unfair to point to gaming-related issues when trying to claim that Linux isn’t user-friendly.

And cars are one of the most dangerous things on the planet, accounting for nearly 2% of all annual deaths by themselves. So maybe safety features are actually good?

The distros that tout themselves as user-friendly come with pretty much everything an average, non-power-user would need pre-installed ootb: Internet browser, file browser, media player, app store, and some sort of settings app/menu to fiddle with basic things like screen resolution, input devices, audio settings, etc.

Has your experience been different? Is there some specific distro or some specific missing/confusing feature you’re talking about?

Arguably, you don’t want camera phones near an artist doing illegal drugs. You don’t need to be a rapist to find that logical.

This is unhinged lmao. If you don’t want people to take pictures/videos of you doing illegal drugs backstage, there are at least two way more logical options that also have the benefit of not violating a person’s rights:

1. Don’t do illegal drugs backstage with an audience
2. Don’t invite people backstage to watch you do illegal drugs

It’s possible some enablers around him like Makeeva or Letz would spike woman so they’ld sleep with Till … but that doesn’t mean he himself was aware of it.

Are you saying that it’s ok to have sex with someone if they’re drugged, inebriated, or otherwise impaired, as long as you aren’t “aware” that they’re drugged, inebriated, or otherwise impaired?

It’s all variable, and highly dependent on the languages you use, the types of applications you develop, your personal workflows, what you learned with and got used to as you were learning to program, and a myriad of other factors. Painting in broad strokes, like what the meme is doing or what you’re doing, is almost never correct. There’s always nuance.

You may want to try Pop!_OS at some point too. I’m not sure if it’ll support your card ootb, but it’s supposed to have better initial Nvidia support than other distros. Like Mint, it’s based on Ubuntu, but System76 has customized it a bit to be more gaming-focused.

Which games, which anti-cheat? protondb.com can be a good source for quick fixes for running things in Steam, most of the time if I have an issue with a game, someone will have already posted a solution in there.

Oh fuck did we go back in time? We got Nigerian-Prince-level scams on Lemmy now!
