Yes. The US is also authoritarian. Yes, there is a clear media bias when it comes to the headlines that western media outlets are willing to run. In particular, painting non-western countries as more authoritarian than the US (which is sometimes true).

It’s valuable to point this out. Dog knows the shitty media bias bots used in other communities won’t.

However, the overall tone of your comment seems to suggest that it’s okay for non-western governments to do authoritarian bullshit, just because the US does. I trust that wasn’t the point of your comment, but I assume that’s why some may not take kindly to it.

For what it’s worth: my instance disables down votes, so I literally can’t down vote posts I disagree with.

When people hear the concept of thought crimes described to them, they rightfully recoil in disgust at that kind of dystopic idea. However, euphemize the concept as intellectual property, and for some reason, most people are fine with it.

Silly question: what’s the difference between the otf and ttf fonts?

Edit: thanks for the explainers!

I know a bunch of people that own Steam Decks, know nothing about Linux, and have no idea that their games are running on it. I’d say it’s pretty easy now

“Karen compiler” is almost perfect, except unlike Karens, the compiler is delightfully helpful with the error messages it gives you (usually). It usually gives a straightforward error, an error code, and sometimes, an easy fix.

As someone that started with Rust, but just yesterday had to fix some C++ code, working with any other compiled language makes me shudder. I have nothing but respect for devs that have to wade through stuff like that.

Just don’t ls /dev/loop* 🫣

I just pre-ordered five of these. lol. Thanks for the rec. Wendell from Level1Techs always has his eye on the coolest stuff.

I’d love some suggestions. I have a 1440p 32:9 monitor that can act as separate displays, but since Synergy, input-leap, and the other software KVMs don’t work on Wayland, I’m having a bad time :(

Google has a disproportionate and overwhelming say in AOSP. What do you think Lineage OS is based on?

When Google makes API changes to Android, it hurts AOSP too. Can the devs try to maintain the legacy API on their own? Sure, but it’s extra effort, so it’s usually not something you can count on.

You can also do this on any keyboard compatible with QMK firmware.

This is baby-brain shit. Ignoring the criticism doesn’t make more people vote for Biden.

The fact is that people hate Biden’s support for genocide. There were literal IRL protests at every major college campus. They weren’t “Russian bots”.

Here’s a neat tip:

You can go to most publisher or developer pages on Steam and “ignore” them to prevent Steam from ever showing you their slop again.

Example:

1. Go to: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/Ubisoft
2. Click the “Settings” cog.
3. “Ignore this creator”

You can do the same with EA, 2K, etc. Don’t even give these parasites microseconds of your time when they release their next slop title.
