    First comment there starts with “When whataboutism kinda has a point.”

    Okay but is whataboutism even a logical fallacy or a bad argument? It’s pointing out the hypocrisy of the west, and it always starts with someone criticizing the USSR or China or socialism in general.






  • Canada protects fascists, builds memorials for them (named “Victims of Communism” but the names on it are nazis), so I think it’s an explicitly fascist country built on genocide that is, surprise, still funding genocide.

    It’s getting more overt every day however, and globally you can see two sides forming again.

    What if (and I’m seriously asking what if) the left collectively decided to simply ignore WaPo, Nyt and other serial propaganda outlets and simply cover news from more credible sources?

    Like the only reason to point out the double standards is because we believe that they have a large readership base, but I’ve only ever read headlines from these publications on news aggregators. So what happens if we stop giving them attention?



  • With NixOS you can upgrade your entire OS and if you don’t like it roll it back like nothing ever happened. You can also replicate your entire machine by copying your configs over to another computer, running the install, and then copying over any files you have in your home folder and you will have reproduced your desktop.

    You can also very easily use a different version of a packaged app by adding an override in your config. This is useful if you want bleeding-edge features or if something is broken. Also every package is also a development environment, so you don’t have to worry about setting up a dev environment to hack on stuff.


  • as if jlai.lu users weren’t agressive in this discussion as well

    I just posted a story on a lefty imageboard about some guy swiping my friend on the sidewalk and when my very weakly tapped him back in the face he made a scene like he was assaulted. Liberals are dangerous hyper-individualistic villains. I actually consider them a direct enemy of today’s left, and not some neutral third party. These french users sound the same.


  • I love my Xmonad. I haven’t customized it except for one thing for fullscreen windows. I have no widgets or toolbars or desktop icons or anything besides dmenu as a launcher and xterm for everything else. And I love it. However I have some subtle graphics issues like screen tearing when watching certain 4k content, hidpi scaling issues that I could never resolve for all applications and sometimes my GPU doesn’t like my TV (which is my main monitor). These are likely the fault of nouveau, but I wonder if Wayland will fix them.

    I really wish XMonad would support Wayland. I don’t need it to, but gnome on wayland was just really really smooth. Maybe I can set up another window manager with the exact same key bindings on wayland, since like I said I don’t customize it at all.
