>its increasingly clear to me that canonical really don't care about the desktop experience
Debian cares even less. Switch to Pop, system76 sells laptops and workstations so they're deeply in touch with the desktop experience. Cosmic DE is what convinced me to finally stop changing window managers and ricing my shit because it met my needs. Comfy tiling with vim controls. It just works.

I have been using Fedora for 3 months and I have not encountered a single problem. I had to track down some printer drivers, but that is simply a proprietary software issue and not a distro specific one. Even then, getting the printer to work was seamless. Switching from Windows has been liberating.

My friend has some dogshit celeron laptops from 2020. What distro/DE copes best with e-waste laptops? Needs to be lightweight but also have good laptop integration.

Glad to hear anon.

Anons, I need distro help. Been an Arch user for eight years now (wow, I feel old). But recently, I've become very busy so system maintenance has become something that I can't always do. I've gotten a few partial upgrade issues that ended up being deprecation issues with configs on other packages when fixing my system with a full upgrade. I've also had a bunch of AMDGPU-related constant kernel panics on the latest version a few months ago so I had to downgrade once the LTS kernel got those issues too, and downgrading is hard on Arch by design.
So basically, I'm questioning whether it's time for me to change which distribution I'm using. I'm not sure where to go though. Ideally, I'd like a distro that allows me to pick whether to install packages from a stable repository with security updates always and feature updates every month or two, or from a bleeding edge repository that pulls in whatever dependencies are needed. Bonus points if dependency hell is avoided and I can have a stable and latest version of the same package at once for libraries for example. I'd also need as few abstractions as possible, no distro-specific config BS, and configuration without frameworks. I should be able to configure my system only using the software's specific documentation instead of a random, distro-specific meta-config tool or whatever. Also would be nice if the repositories had optimized binaries for newer architectures or LTO or whatever.
Gentoo seemed appealing and like the answer, but as I said, maintenance is becoming a chore and constantly checking USE flags and manually versioning is something that I have experience with but found to be a big time sink.
Any help? [spoiler]Yet another distro help post, a thread got unbumped for this, joy[/spoiler]

I should mention that Tumbleweed was my main candidate, but holy abstraction layers.

Does anyone here help organize like labor unions and tenants unions and so on?

I was thinking that the nonprofit industry/social worker sector might be very useful to unionize. It could help mitigate some of the harms of the nonprofit activist industrial complex by giving more power to the workers instead of the CEOs. I'm sure lots of NEETs here interact with social programs. It takes five seconds to ask your support workers if they've looked into unionizing.

Anyhow would love to your thoughts on praxis in general

I am involved with trying to form a tenants union but the organizers are like, fundamentally opposed to vanguardism. "We are creating a space where people can determine for themselves how they want to organize" like tf. You need to tell these people what they want. I've also tried to get involved with my (right to work so no bargaining, just larp with wallet cards) union whose leadership is made up of actively rotting octagenarians for whom action is finger wagging at legislators every couple of months.
>>668
The western left seems totally uninterested in united front organizing. I think it has to do with individualism and maybe the legacy of religious sectarianism. "Fuck you I'll start my own denomination." I really think america in particular needs a Left Intranational to bring orgs together at least on the shit they can agree on right now. Idk, shit is bleak. Idk how you're supposed to do this. Reading about the movements of the 20th century is so fucking depressing. We have nothing in comparison. No class consciousness, much fucking less any organization

>>669

>>662
Have you guys ever considered that the reason why union organizing isn't a thing anymore is because people don't feel a need for it?
If this was 1925 or 1825, people would lend a sympathetic ear and even help you.

But now? "Labor organizing" seems more like people who don't want to do any serious labor that can contribute to society. And who can blame them?
A lot of people on this site look down on college students and blue collar worker.

>>675
>wanting to organize unions means you hate blue collar workers actually
ok langley

>>674 (me)
Attended an "organizing" call yesterday, which was just people from various unions talking about their union and how Trump bad. They kept saying "we need to organize! We need to fight back!" There was one old trucker who looked like death and sounded like an insane person who actually laid out the dynamics of the situation and explicitly called it class war," and another old head who said we need a general strike, but on the whole the thing had nothing to do with how you actually organize or to what purpose you would even do so. Also the thing was very obviously structured like a webinar but the organizers instead just set up a standard zoom meeting so the speakers kept getting interrupted and confused by random people coughing and shit. I really think labor organizing is a total dead end in this country unless things get bad enough that wildcat strikes and illegalism become popular again. Capital has very effectively cut the labor channel such that it funnels people into this useless protest and growing the union for the sake of growing the union mindset. If you abide by the rules capital has put in place you are necessarily not challenging its power! Idk man I think the American people are doomed.

File: 1745568032762.png (65.25 KB, 180x180, arthas.png)

 

So there's a famous scene in Warcraft 3 where Arthas, upon seeing that grain infected with the undead plague had been distributed in Stratholme, orders the city purged.

There's some controversy over whether Arthas was wrong for doing this. On one hand, if you play the game, Arthas can come across as something of a John Snow-like character in the sense that he's the only one that seems to be taking the plague and the undead Scourge as the dire, even apocalyptic threat that they actually are. In the Stratholme level itself, the citizens are actively turning into the undead as you meet them, while the Scourge are present and active in the city, lead by Mal'ganis who is swelling their numbers with infected citizens. This might lead a player to conclude that Arthas is doing what is necessary to prevent the Scourge from getting a city-sized army and preventing his subjects from becoming the mindless slaves of the Lich King. A mercy kill, if you will.

But there are many, including the writers who seem to disagree. In fact, the guy who wrote the mission apparently thinks its obvious that Arthas was in the wrong and that you're a psycho if you think otherwise.

What causes this disconnect?
1 post omitted.

Well for starters it is a fantasy setting. That means the moment you do something drastic like massacre a city to save a kingdom, some wizard will pop up with a magic cure.

Arthas did nothing wrong

Material analysis of the real conditions at hand demonstrates that Arthas did nothing wrong.
It's like when Stalin relocated the Volga germans. Only liberals cry about it because they are idealists and moralists

Jaina was just angry that Arthas was killing the
Stratholme workers that the feudal human aristocracy were exploiting she was bourgeois and Arthas was correct.

So we all agree Arthas was in the right in Stratholme. So where did Arthas go wrong? Pursuing Mal'Ganis despite orders from the king? Burning of own ships and killing his mercenaries? Taking Frostmourne?

The Alternative Country scene is unironically the best singer-songwriter scene in the entire music industry at this moment.
Coulter Wall, Tyler Childers, Charlie Crockett, Sierra Ferrell,
Willi Carlisle and honestly I can go on and on. This scene is fucking magical at the timent. Coulter Wall and Tyler Childers are the two best singer songwriters in the industry at the moment.
Also the good thing, Socialist music has a long history in the "alternative" country and Appalachian Folk scene. We'll probably be getting some god tier covers of Classic Socialist folk songs coming soon I suspect.

ITT We discuss about our favorite Vtubers, corpo and indie alike. Liveposting, (Spoilered) Porn and Rateposting are all encouraged.

I'll start with my own recommendation:

Rie Himemiya from Phase Connect [EN] Gen 2 Phase Alias. A Vsinger with great covers and original songs such as Love Potion #520 and ゲテモノ (Bizarre Food) / Utsu-P ♡ to give you two examples.

Her streams as of now center around variety gaming such as her recent playthrough of Pokémon HG/SS as her first Pokémon game although she is mostly focused on Limbus Company and Library of Ruina as well as community projects like Date Ideas for Valentines season or making a love song out of Schizophrenic Maros.

However I do recommend her older VODs as well such as Sandtrix or Gayraoke for her humor and great chat interaction. If you want something more recent check out her 100 songs for 100k Christmas Special from last year. Remember to do your reps and backreading

>Best fat burning exercise
no such thing as a "bst fat burning exercise", there are exercises which burn more fat than others, but all exercises are pretty much shit when it comes to burning fat, because you only burn like 300 kcal at max effort, that's like 100g of fries (maybe 10-15 fries).
walking/running is still good cardio, and it will help you lose weight, but not by burning fat, just staying active is enough to force your body to keep the muscles active, and therefore spend more energy on maintaining them.

Nah. The sheer vileness of freiza is nothing spectacular and knowing that there are people like him make him far more (unfortunately) realistic. There are so many mentally weak people that do awful things purely because they are not strong enough to be better or view themselves as being responsible for poor decisions.

>>27847
Like fuck, apparently the reason why the freiza force exterminates entire planets just to sell off the celestial bodies was inspired by how the author of the series saw real estate speculators as people that would well “evict and sell off homes.” Freiza was also written at the time of the Japanese economic collapse on top of this.

Frieza is my favorite Dragon Ball character. Delightful to watch every time he is on the screen. Also every music theme of his is a banger. I like that they gave him character arc in Super, but unlike other villains, where that means redemption, Frieza stays just as evil, instead he matures in personality, learns to put effort into things, keep his emotions under control, plan ahead.

I read the whole manga as a kid but when I tried watching Kai recently I thought basically every episode was twice as long as it needed to be. But then I think that about most anime. So much overwriting.

Hey comrades, quick little update, that shit did not work. The drive literally shit itself as I tried to plug it back in…any time I try to plug it back in gives me an obnoxious clicking noise, completely undetectable. Pretty much means the disk drive is actively damaging itself and that my files are good as gone. This is actually incredibly sad because I had something which could be considered lost media, though I'm currently in talks with someone who still has the files from the old archive.org upload. Literally a greek dub by romanians who barely speak the language, shit's hilarious.
I'll just use my warranty and get a replacement, which will probably promptly shit itself too in 8 months. However now that I know this is a possibility with toshitba, I'll just start putting the really important files in DVDs. I'm that far gone when it comes to data hoarding.
Also don't ask why I'm using brazilian megaman pics, I just really like the artstyle, and admittedly the batshit insane writing has been uplifting in what's probably the worst month of my life. Not gonna bitch about it, but this would not hurt as bad if I didn't have actual problems going on. Shame too, the last five months were some of my happiest.
Just leaving this here since, yeah, I accidentally closed the tab before. Literally typing this as I'm redownloading FNV, it was my one comfort game lately.

There are places that can fix disc drives. Just hope you don't have any illegal shit on them.

The closest thing is all my pirated anime and vidya, though I sincerely doubt that'd get me in trouble since the content itself is not actually illegal, it's the act of downloading them (previously it was JUST uploading them, but greece is a shithole and recently made even viewing pirated content punishable by a hefty fine).
So yeah no that should still work, problem is that I don't have a thousand bucks to spend on it, plus I already gave the other guys the disk drive for a replacement, it's straight up broken as I said.

If game devs are going to have a decent and dignified work environment and pay, while also maintaining the level of complexity modern AAA games have, then the games must cost more than $60.

Hey, I am editor anon again. Currently, I made the legion much more dangerous in a mod I’m working on.

Simply put, I replaced most of the legion’s weapons with the 12.7mm submachine gun. For those unaware, this gun is one of the strongest guns in game, and it is used canonically by the Legion’s assault divisions. By having most legion soldiers use this gun, the legion stands a better chance against most factions, and fighting the legion feels much more fierce than a point and click experience against tribesmen with literal spears.

So why did I buff the legion? Well, I am trying to fix the gunplay, and I feel like I found the solution. My approach is to make guns stronger and more widely used. I believe that if most characters use guns, New Vegas’ gameplay should feel much more exciting. From the play tests I have, this idea holds up. Having more enemies use guns makes the game play more like a shooter. Coincidentally, the increased firepower also makes the game feel more representative of the lore.

nta but I bought that game and haven't played yet, how is it compared to (K)MT 1&2?

>>41686
this sounds peak

>>41747
Never played MT 1&2, but TADA's closest dungeon crawling equivalent is probably Strange Journey, since it has traps and the like. It also has a Magnetite-like mechanic, in the form of batteries. You can also opt for traditional negotiation if Bullet Hell isn't your thing.

So, I'm a musician, who wants to have a musical career (a lot of communist musicians had stable careers) and meanwhile stupid porkies tell me that "no, we'd prefer if you were replaced, prole, because there if no place for people like you" and I hear, not only music, but other art, computer science, programming etc. will be replaced by AI. How do we stop this, so people are still prosperous in the real socialst societies?

I don’t think you get how worthless your life is going to become under capitalism once the robots can make money and spend money as economic agents.

> An OpenAI exec said during Google’s antitrust trial this week that OpenAI would be interested in buying Google’s Chrome browser if it were made available for sale.
> ChatGPT chief Nick Turley said in a court hearing on Tuesday that acquiring Chrome would allow OpenAI to “offer a really incredible experience” and “introduce users into what an AI-first [browser] looks like,” per Bloomberg.
> Turley had been called by the Justice Department to testify as part of a trial aimed at determining which business practices Google must modify after a judge ruled the company had monopolized the online search market. The Justice Department has asked that Google be forced to divest Chrome.
> OpenAI has reportedly considered working on a web browser to compete with Chrome. The company went so far as to hire ex-Google developers Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher, who worked on the original Chrome project, several months ago.
They are going to make Firefox popular again!

ever since chrome first came out it set the standard for all other browsers. i fear if openai buy chrome and stuff full of ai shit we'll soon see every other browser developer follow like lemmings

>>29343
I have no idea why this a thing. I use firefox, opera, and chrome sometimes, but I don't really know what goes into just displaying webpages. I've found in the past that Firefox takes up insane amounts of memory and Chrome takes up insane amounts of CPU. Mostly I use firefox because I trust google the least.

I couldn't find any threads about this game which is so fucking peak its unreal.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is like a fever dream and art nouveau painting got inebriated on absinthe and waged war on time itself. You're a member of a cursed team battling in a world that consumes its citizens via birthday, fusing the best of turn-based combat with real-time mayhem while aesthetically everything appearing to have been created by a haunted french poet. It's stunning. It's surreal. And it really will kill you.

I really really say you should check it out. It's got such a good story i was actually crying during the first 30 min. Please for the love of god check it out

Currently at episode 6 and like…. it's pretty boring so far. And all the characters have the emotional depth of a blank of wood. Frieren especially seems like a straight up psychopath, how tf do people like the character? Like she cried at Himmels funeral but bitch you literally saw him not to long ago as an old man without any emotional response and now we should believe that bitch that she is capable of crying? Literally at first viewing I thought she was acting lmao

>>22593
True. Anime indeed was a mistake.

>>27845
Probably the reason rightoids like this anime so much. No need to use your empathy to engage with it. That and extreme dehumanizing of the opponent to the level where they are even denied being sentient.

>nondescript generic medieval fantasy Europe.
Except it's not because 99% of the time author has no idea what medieval society would even look like, so you have modern society and it's institution but people wear weird clothes (often anachronistic).

Is the show fascist or just the main character?

I realized that the daycare industry is a single point of failure that could cause a shockwave of strikes. Most of the adult population becomes parents at some point. Parents need their kids to be in daycare between 1 and 4 years old so they can actually go to work and get shit done. Daycare is privatized in the USA and the daycare workers don't have very good unions. But I think if the daycare workers got organized, and went on a massive strike, it would make most parents unable to go to work, because they would need to stay home and watch their kids. This could create a domino effect leading to huge labor unrest in many other areas. I'm also thinking sanitation, electrical, and transportation workers need to strike. There will be a lot of suffering but this could lead to revolution. Not all sectors are equal when it comes to cascading effects of labor unrest. There are some areas that are way more likely to cause a domino effect than others. You feel?

there's a nice middle ground between "Children of Men is my Utopia" antinatalism and "everyone should have at least 3 children" quiverfull psychopathy. It's called the one child policy. It allows for slow degrowth of a population, and it allows for each new child to not only grow up and enter the work force, but to have more than enough attention growing up that they have a good life. Even two children is OK since it allows for slow degrowth too. Two is replacement rate but some will inevitably become part of infant mortality or child mortality statistics before entering the work force. The truth is you're going to need people to grow the food and take care of the old people.

You need to have money to pay for daycare, and petty bourgs have class solidarity with each other. They are able to selectively choose small and local businesses for daycare.

Is keftypol really just a bunch of 14 year olds?

I think that "millions of people should unionize and strike" is not really a plan.

>>299
Are you implying you need to be petty booj to afford daycare? It's like 250/month for one kid at the cheaper ones where I live. 125 from each parent. Some self described "reserveless proles" spend that much on weed or booze each month. nearly all families get daycare these days because both mom and dad need to work during the day to make ends meet and they can't get jobs where they never see each other and take turns watching the kid. This is especially true when the kid is old enough for daycare (1 or 2 years old) but not old enough to be a "latchkey kid" (5-10 depending on how much you trust them).

How many of you still play old games from the 90s-2000s?

First time I'm hearing about swiftplay, how long are the games?

>>42015
The same as regular rift games.
Its mainly called swift because the game itself runs faster like you get faster gold, need less dragons etc.
It's like old dota easy mode
(they even had to add a sudden death mechanic at minute 35 because swiftplay games took to long)

So you might be looking at the name of this thread and thinking Language learning as a hobby? Why yes, this thread is to be dedicated to those that are learning a new language as a hobby.

Not only this but to provide resources for those that wanna get help with their progress and just talk about their language learning journey.
