Israel is not a protectorate of the US but an independent and democratic country whose citizens are the ones who choose the government

Okay cool, can we stop supplying weapons and Intel now?

Vouching for PopOS, which has been my primary OS for years. The only thing I run a Win VM for is the old Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas & Campaign Cartographer. I suppose I could tinker with Wine, but it tends to be finicky with the latter.

Constantly having issues

You’re going to see a lot of issues on Linux boards because people go to then for help. I’ve been running Linux since 2020 and though there have been hiccups, its been remarkably reliable. Having said that, when there ARE issues, it can take some digging to find answers.

Is it not stable

Moreso than Win 11, in my experience. I use Win 11 at work and I’ve needed a system wipe twice. Once because networking just… stopped… and once because appx apps decided not to load.

Ongoing issues

Plugging PopOS as a good “set and forget” distro that is easy to grasp. The workflow is very MacOS and the tweaks they’ve made make for a friendlier interface v Ubuntu, IMO.

I chose federated networks, not Lemmy per se. Right now I use:

• Firefish (Mastodon with a better kit)
• Kbin (Developing Lemmy alternative w/o problematic devs)
• Pixelfed (Instagram alternative, good except export tools lacking)

Federated is awesome because its more open and encourages choice, and I actually feel like there are friends to be made.

Incels using a word offensively does not make the word inherently offensive, and by letting them reframe the word in their favor you’re giving them power they do not deserve.

When using male/female to denote biological sex, the words should not be offensive. “Were you born malr or female” in a medical settting can be vital to treatments, for example.

Generally, though, people ought to be using gender.

Part of it is either Reddit manipulating search positioning or Google (most people’s default search) prioritizing Reddit results. Searching for answers to questions often results in a half page of Reddit links. They may not be relevant, but that doesn’t become apparent until you’re there.

I’ve played and DMed all but 4E, and 5E is easily the most accessible version I’ve played. I agree, though; 5E with some tweaks works very well as a video game. 3.5E, as much as I love it, can get incredibly complex very quickly. AD&D is, putting it kindly, a shitshow. The system is needlessly complex and convoluted.

Interesting take, but such an absolutist stance suggests that you also see compassion as a weakness. Fact is, as evil as the GOP may now be… they are not the whole of conservative thought.

If you want to see an example of where your desired approach leads, look at post WW I Germany and what Europe’s need for vengeance gave birth to.

Yes, I recall when they had a policy of never allowing account deletion.

I mean, they let themselves get bought by Yahoo and they banned erotic art. Its like they want to fail.

Name them, shame them. They deserve the notoriety that their racist behavior offers.

If America was truly as progressive as some people thought, a third party could sweep the Democrats with a popular progressive candidate

In a word, no. The GOP and the DNC actively collude to ensure that no one else can compete.

No you don’t. Because you have 2 options: Biden or Trump. If you are considering Trump as a legitimate pick, then just say you’re a fascist

So our choices are 1) fascists who support a fascist or 2) ethnic cleansing apologists who are 100% okay with voting for the man supplying weapons and aid to those committing the cleansing.

You literally cannot be this stupid.

What does binary mean, you waffle?

And, there it is. The self-own.

If you truly believed that “gender is meaningless” as you say, this would not be a problem. What you really mean is “I dislike that gender is no longer binary and I’m going to create strawman arguments to hide that fact.”

Oh great, Reddit is leaking again.

“I don’t act like them.”

No, they are generally sweet and kind and treat people with respect.

Worse, she’s a leftist who somehow missed the “treat people with respect and dignity” principle.

The allies no one wants.
