  • Keep it up! I honestly don’t know how you do it.

    I recently tried debating politics online on a lemmy.world alt acc again but after someone just regurgitated nonsense they heard in their social media bubble I got so fed up I had to touch some gras.

    I guess next time I’ll just follow the hexbear aproach and post pigs shitting on their own balls. Doesn’t win any argument, but feels kinda cathartic.

    I mean, one of the central goals of communism to abolish ownership of the means of production.

    Software used to produce something of value is a resource that in a communist society should not be owned. The only way to achieve this is to let everything be opensource.

    So communists clearly like the free software movement, whether inverse is true is a matter for debate.



  • This once again shows how stupid the idea of copyright is.

    The mentioned library genesis project is such a great idea and i use it extensively. It makes scientific articles, papers and cultural works available for everyone, regardless of income.

    I understand where these writers are coming from but in my opinion they are working against their own interests here.

    I mean currently most of the profits go to the big media coorperations anyway, are we sure ther isn’t a way to fairly pay the artists AND make their works publicly available at the same time?

    A group of people who call themselves anarchists and can be reasoned with does exist

    I think we both agree on that. I just wanted to point out that that does not mean every anarchist can be reasoned with.

    instead yelling what you perceive to be The Truth at them until they agree with you

    Again I am with you on that, but no one here advocated that. If I say “they don’t want to hear the truth” I am not saying that I tell them they are straight up wrong. If I debate politics with someone I try to point out logical flaws or present my reasoning. If they don’t find my reasoning relatable that’s fine, most of the time we still agree on a lot of other points.

    Oh I misspelled it. Petarades is a fancy word for farts. Read that somewhere and sounded kinda funny, as comes from pétarade (backfire) in french. English is not my first language so I though it would be more common than it actually is.

    No, I’d say you have to look at it more like eating habbits. You won’t convince someone who’s in his 50ies and all his life only ever ate fastfood to eat healthy. It’s objectively better for them, deep down they might even know it, but the force of habbit is just to strong.

    There is a best choice, but not everyone want’s to hear it. You can’t convince everyone and have to pick your battles.

    Someone posted a can of beans in lemmy.world’s shitpost community and said lemmy users will upvote anything. It got a couple thousand likes and rose to the top of the feed. I found it mildly funny at the time, but the way it is still beeing regurgitated reminds me to much of reddit.

    No wine is a dependency, it’s installed automatically. Yes, they don’t include any game files. They would probably get in trouble with copyright if they did. The setup was something like this, iirc: 1.Install POL 2.Insert the disk and mount it/Download your game from your seller(eg. GOG.com) 3. Search for the game in the POL UI 4. Start the installer and select the installation exe

    If you’re new to linux and want to stay safe I have a couple of tips:

    Never run commands you don’t understand. Research what they are doing before you run them. Try to become used to doing everything from the commandline. It may be daunting at first, but it helps understanding what the GUIs do and hiw to fix things if they break.

    Use the packagemanagement of your distribution where possible. For example in ubuntu use the “apt” command to install software from the commandline or the software center to install them from the GUI. I’d avoid .deb files from random internet sites as installing them is the equivalent of installing random .exe-s on Windows. It could be safe but you don’t really know for sure. tar.gz-files are the compressed source code of the application so while technically more transparent as a newbie i’d still avoid them.

    Choose a widely used distro. Especially as a newbie it can be difficult do assess what’s wrong. It helps if there are a lot of other new users googling the same problem.

    To start I’d suggest Ubuntu on a Virtualbox-VM. Make frequent snapshots so you don’t have to reinstall your whole system if you break something.

    For most older windows only offline games someone usually has already created a bottle or made an installer on playonlinux. With online games anticheat might act up (I tried valorant and LoL, both didn’t work)

    If you’re loking for a DAW on linux i can recommend Ardour.

    Unfortunately some hardware sellers (like canon, ugh) have no linux support. So now whenever I buy something new I research their support before I buy any products.

    I was an intermediate user for a long time, but what helped me get more into it was following the archlinux installation guide. Really showed me how the system is build “under the hood”. Like what the difference between a compositor and a window manager is and stuff like that.

    Next, if I find the time, I plan to go the gentoo/lfs route, wich is basically building the car from it’s parts.
