The Rot

I don’t get the hate against the lemmy devs tbh, they have their (perhaps controversial) political views but they leave everyone that’s not on their site alone and it feels like they develop lemmy pretty impartially

sure they might ban you off ml but that’s their site and they get to do whatever they want with it, just like every other instance

i mean network effect is a thing i guess but that’s not as important on lemmy where there are usually similarly large communities about genetic things on most major instances

don’t let them change the meaning of our words then

im just mocking the stats in the title because it implies that women and children are targeted but it’s not like prioritising men or adults makes it any better

it’s not like you can ethically decide whether any one of these age groups/genders are more guilty/innocent/valuable/important

killing through genocide is similarly unjust however you do it, it’s just that sometimes discriminating some groups makes it more beneficial for the genociding party (e.g. deaths of children are more emotionally powerful when used in media)

the stats don’t say that they don’t discriminate though, it’s just saying they don’t discriminate based on their status as a child or an adult, or gender

wow did you know that ~50% of people are female and ~50% of people in Gaza are children? what a shocking statistic that ~70% of people killed are women or children!

you can do blur with css have a look at the backdrop-filter thing as well

but I think the bigger problem here is getting the content to be behind the titlebar, because the titlebar and the content share a common parent and you’d have to position the titlebar to be above the content, probably with negative margins?

then you have to worry about the page being translated up, so you’d somehow have to modify all pages to have a top margin for their body or something so it doesn’t look off

you all need to learn to distinguish between the people/the government/the country

maybe it’s just because that’s the more memorable/unique parts of their name?

trump/biden is much more distinctive than donald/joe
clinton could refer to both bill or hillary
obama/kamala is more memorable than barack/harris (though maybe for obama that’s just because I’ve heard ‘obama’ so many times)

I’m not saying that’s definitely not true, just that there might be other reasons why

fellow noun->verb user :)

helix superiority however.

iirc wood was used by the chinese for their heat shield’s ablator or something?

waydroid (if you don’t install a wayland based de)

The statistic isn’t saying that 50% of Linux gamers use steam, it’s saying that Linux gamers are ~1/2 as likely to use steam for games when compared to gamers on other platforms. these are very different things.

~50% of Linux gamers using steam is only true if you assumed every gamer on the other platforms used steam

btw i hate the term ‘gamer’ but it’s just convenient to use here :(

so a disproportionately large amount (2x) of Linux gamers don’t use steam? that doesn’t sound right to me with how good steam is on Linux

this is just my opinion but taking away personality to appeal to a wider audience is one of the worst things modern megacorps do, the strength of the fediverse is the power it gives to individuals and communities over corporations with money, and so personality is one of the things the fediverse needs to maintain to succeed

wow that sounds so handy, thanks

chose the instance because of the name, stuck for the uptime, reliability and admins

for the royalty it’s only 2 of each

debian packages will work on debian based distros usually, etcetc

fedora calls their kedoras and ludoras “spins”, but I haven’t used fedora so can’t say how good they are

basically there’s the big 3 (debian, arch, fedora) and everything else is just them with presets (ui, drivers, etc)

debian uses apt, arch uses pacman, fedora uses dnf for packaging, so packages (app executables) aren’t intercompatible and so you usually have some apps that aren’t available on on or the other

usually debian had everything, arch has everything with workarounds, idk about fedora

anyway the tree is like:

debian

• ubuntu
  • kubuntu
  • lubuntu

fedora

• nobara

arch

• manjaro

with DEs you should see which ones you like by testing them out, if you get the debian netinstaller you can select however many you want in the install process and you can switch between them at boot with the dropdown menu in the login prompt
