  • I'm here for memes, not snappy Xitter, 4Chan, reddit or similarly sourced screenshots of texts

  • there are a couple microblogmemes communities and whitepeopletwitter (and similar) communities, but the ones on .world have terrible moderation.

  • i hate that microblogmemes allows people to just post anything from any microblog platform. they always justify it with "well a meme is actually just a self-replicating idea" which is technically true, but it ignores the meaning the term 'meme' has on the internet, which is basically just an image based joke that plays off of internet culture in general, typically including previous memes. in the context of a scientific field like linguistics or phycology, the first definition makes more sense. in the context of an internet group with no scientific interest, the second is obviously correct. also they always use that excuse when they are posting US politics instead of memes, which is bullshit because there are communities for politics and political memes. dont make off-topic posts, go post it in a community where it is relevant.

  • i trust them more than google. they've been a little sketchy lately (bc of the ai stuff, not the ceos political stuff) but at least only one entity has my data this way. I'd rather self-host but i can't rn.

  • Idk, I just don't see the use case

  • its a console without the insane locked down interface. its a computer without the need to fiddle with stupid technical stuff that should just work. its linux without the need to learn all the things you think you just always knew about other systems but actually had to learn and aren't willing to anymore.

  • now I'm generally a centrist but tell me more

  • We've got it all worked out

    Jump

  • yes, but the bits where its a problem like the meme implies only apply at the extremes.

    Jump

  • to be fair, all that only applies for the extremes.

  • Which distro for a non-technical windows user?

    Jump

  • you misunderstand (or more likely I phrased it like an idiot). im not saying something like that is easier to manage on fedora. what I meant was that you would encounter minor things on fedora that would give you the chance to learn the skills necessary to fix or at least diagnose a bigger issue. on mint you wouldn't see that and on Ubuntu you generally wouldn't either (in my brief experience using each before settling on fedora as my main)

  • Which distro for a non-technical windows user?

    Jump

  • IMO mint and Ubuntu make things simple in a way that keeps users from ever encountering something where they have to be aware of what the computer us doing. this means if something is happening that shouldn't (malware, something misconfigured, steam being an asshole, etc.) they won't know where to look. this is something windows and Mac do as well and it leads to the vast majority of people not knowing that they can make the software on their computer do what they say. if people dont know how to do that, corporations will (and do) take advantage of it. i probably am exaggerating a bit but I still think putting a new user on Ubuntu or mint is doing them a disservice.

    Jump

  • I'd reccomend fedora. mint and Ubuntu will be simpler but its like giving a toddler a wheelchair instead of teaching them to walk. the few things they'll have to learn are necessary anyway.

    Jump

  • you dont need to fuck around with other distros either for the most part, you just can.

  • What's your solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict?

    Jump

  • and hamas is a terrorist group that wants to establish a theocratic ethnostate just like other Islamic terrorist groups (which they have ties to). they are both attacking civilians, they are both attempting to establish ethnostates, they should both be condemned.

    edit: grammar

  • What's your solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict?

    Jump

  • all countries should drop support for both sides and condemn them both for their extremist actions. neither side is in the right here and the only solution (without pulling a Vietnam and Korea) is to stop enabling them

  • Flow chart for choosing a Linux distribution

    Jump

  • its really simple, use mint if you dont know what computers are, use fedora if you're normal, and save specialty/hobby distros for specialty/hobby stuff.

  • Might need to switch distros, which one should i use?

    Jump

  • well given that I'm american I dont have an issue supporting an American company (if you're European, good job getting out from under our thumb. we have too much power) but I do want to support a more trustworthy company.
