Bottles is very hit or miss for me, extremely jank. When it works it’s awesome though.

Wine usually just works in my experience.

But I don’t use most of the common problem programs, like adobe products or whatever. It may be better to ask specifically about what programs you’re concerned about compatibility with.

A friend was screensharing geoguessr the other day and I happened to spot “Gulf of America” on the map and I just about cringed myself to death

He moved to anarchist.nexus first (@_cryptagion@anarchist.nexus ) where he’s still a mod on db0’s instance. Idk what his piefed account is that he’s apparently moved to.

TL;DR: There’s a mod on their instance, @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com. The mod in question says, “all 27 million Soviet citizens killed by the nazis deserved it.” This was 9 months after having been educated on the fact that that number includes many civilian holocaust victims. The server owner, db0, thinks these are cool views to express and not indicative of nazism. The server owner got very mad that we called for this nazi to be banned, and pretended we were making this all up.

Now if only they’d get rid of neonazis they’d be cool.

He looked like he was on his last legs back in like 2016. I’m honestly amazed he’s still hanging in there.

These fuckers got pedophile superpowers I swear

Proud member of #3 gang here, although I don’t really give a shit about distro wars. But if you’re talking about a problem with Windows you can be pretty sure I’ll say you could avoid that with Linux.

Being labeled “annoying” often means you’re completely correct and the person you’re talking to knows it but has some cognitive dissonance to work through. You see it with linux, socialism, veganism, etc. People don’t get nearly as annoyed by opinions they sincerely disagree with as by opinions they can’t find a good reason to disagree with (but want to anyway)

Many people don’t want to be recognizable.

Checked the link and it is an asshole telling a bad joke

lmao ok fucking nazi scum

I can imagine it was meant as a joke

You can imagine whatever you want, but you’re wrong and also what kind of person hears an accusation of the most heinous kind of nazi bullshit and immediately jumps to defend the accused without ANY information? The only kind of person I can imagine who is so eager to defend people against accusations of nazism is a nazi.

Here’s a good summary of the situation. TL;DR: The mod in question says, “all 27 million Soviet citizens killed by the nazis deserved it.” This was 9 months after having been educated on the fact that that number includes many civilian holocaust victims. The owner of your server thinks these are completely cool views to express and not indicative of nazism. That makes the server owner a nazi in addition to the mod.

If you continue to defend this, you are also a nazi (which tracks, as you’re posting from the nazi instance)

Something tells me your definition of “genuine socialists” doesn’t include anarchists to begin with.

I’m an anarchist

Anyway, if you do see any real nazi content from a db0 user, they’d be breaking instance rules so you can and should report them to the mods.

A prominent mod on dbzero said the holocaust was good because it killed communists, and db0 (the server owner) supported and defended this mod. It’s a nazi instance. Nazi instances don’t punish nazi users.

I’m reasonably certain there are many many “1925 anarchists” in db0 alone

I’m 100% certain that the nazi instance does not have “many” genuine socialists of any flavor

I never expected a sex toy to be this expensive.

haha buckle up you ain’t seen nothing yet

Then you should set a password. It shouldn’t be forced for everyone.

It’s randomly generated, brute forcing it should take years.

Cool, so they use any number of exploits to simply go around the password. The point isn’t that a password is easy to get through (just like a locked door isn’t easy to get through) it is that if you’re facing a determined attacker it doesn’t matter how secure it is. If they have physical unsupervised access to your PC, you’ve already lost.

Fortunately for us all, these determined attackers do not exist. Nobody’s breaking my windows to boot up my fucking PC. The situation in which a password would help you is if someone has gone to the effort to bypass the physical security on your home, and then has no plan to deal with a password locked computer. They just take one look at it and go “welp, that’s it, everybody crawl back through the window then, watch the glass shards” Instead of picking up the entire PC and walking off with it, or yanking out the hard drives, or booting into their own preferred OS on a USB, or whatever else would actually happen if these made up attackers were real.

If the government wants to fabricate a reason to prosecute me they’ll just bring some drugs to my house, the idea that they would go in with the plan to plant incriminating files on my computer (instead of just lying that there were incriminating files / showing a completely fake computer???) and then be foiled by a fucking password box and go “damn, he’s too clever for us, I guess we have to let him go” is just BEYOND ridiculous

Nobody lives with you?

My grandmother, who has no interest in my computer.

Or visits you?

No

You don’t use a laptop ever?

No

What if someone does get through your locks?

What if someone guesses your password? Why don’t you keep your computer in a custom built safe bolted to the floor? There’s always another level of security you could hypothetically require, I just live in reality where the truth is no one is touching my computer.

there’s basically no downside to it.

It takes a second or so every time (sometimes a couple of seconds, I’m not always booting my computer with the intent to type shit immediately) which adds up over time. Sometimes I mistype, wasting 10+ seconds. And the benefit of this mild inconvenience is nothing.

I never used a password on Windows because I’ve never seen a reason for one. No one touches my computer. That’s what the physical locks on my doors are for.

I only use a password in Linux because it forces me to. The first thing I tried to do was disable it.

So true bestie, the only options are Trump being president forever or electing a spineless useless democrat for 4 years who will gladly hand over the reins to a lifetime dictatorship of Tucker Carlson or Charlie Kirk’s Ghost As Interpreted By ChatGPT or whatever the fuck. I can’t think of anything else we could possibly do.

I was well aware of him but I hadn’t heard anything about him in a long time. The right-lib/subtle fascist niche seems to have really died off over the last few years, in favor of more overtly fascist commentators mainly
