Ultimately that comes down to personal experience and circumstance. And as you can see a lot of people either experienced it themselves or saw it as well. And I don’t think it’s controversial to say that the Chapo Trap House crew are rather immature. Unfortunately for you a lot of the evidence that you’re searching for is lost to time on instances that were Federated that have shut down. If you have access to hexbear you could probably find some of them I’m sure lurking around from 3 to 4 years ago.

Not going to lie I haven’t interacted with them in at least 3 years and I haven’t missed it. Maybe they’ve matured. Anything is possible.

Yes. And people including myself have accounts on other servers. And experienced it personally 3-4 years ago. That you didn’t experience it doesn’t disprove it. There’s a reason many of us chose servers like world as primary, that didn’t federate.

Many instances defederated from them because a large chunk of the user base was abusive and brigading. To an extent even the worst right wing instances federated couldn’t match.

When you do it, making missteps to make it worse. It is in that instance.

Well sure. If you have good information and pay attention. Many struggle constantly not to fall behind, let alone keep up with events. Or pierce the propaganda bubble constructed around us. And it didn’t help that people were hyper focused on Harris and Biden. Who did deserve it. But their focus allowed them to be manipulated and used to whitewash trump.

I think she’s gunning for Melanie’s spot.

GNOME is not meant to be customized. Don’t even try. If your concept of customization goes beyond adding a panel in a different spot. It’s truly asking for grief. Their add-ons/plugins are fairly neat with all the different languages they can be written in etc. But with all the breaking changes that are constantly being done to the API you never know if they’ll be functioning in the next week. It’s part of why pop started Cosmic in the first place. The GNOME team would regularly roll breaking changes with minor point releases.

I used to get that as well but that was largely due to NVIDIA drivers. Either have to get a tty on the local machine or SSH into it and do a reset. But I haven’t had so much as a peep out of that machine since the Nvsync or Ntsync or whatever it was got merged. I had it happen outside of KDE as well.

I remember when KDE first rolled out plasma and the shit show it started out as. That’s when GNOME really blew up. But since the late 5.X and especially 6.5-6 its been solid. They broke off with a lot of those old abandoned themes etc with the 6.X series as well. That would often fail to function and shit the desktop. I haven’t encountered anything like that in the 6.X repos. My biggest gripe with any of them currently is the deskbar macos style that’s poorly exposed and configured. But comes by default from a few distro like garuda. And predictably isn’t consistent. When it works it’s nice. When it doesn’t it’s confusing.

Last time KDE gave me issue was when they switched to Wayland by default I think. And even then that was mostly on me. 🤷‍♀️

Same. However, if you don’t need that functionality it’s solid. Just definitely not for me.

It’s not a partisan issue unfortunately. Sure Democrats are only focusing on slobbering over BB’s tip. Republicans are trying to gobble the shaft and balls. But either is inappropriate.

I don’t disagree. That’s actually the reason I tend to observe it. I never made accusations against it. But it’s obvious at this point that’s what this is getting made into. And it is my fault after all when I assumed.

A simple mistake. Dub and others have told me that I am mistaken and I’m just going to leave it at that. I was just wondering if it was connected to the drama that was going on over in a thread there in a singular community. They say no. Then no it isn’t.

It was an honest question. It had less to do with YPTB, and more to do with an individual well known to be rather bristly. Even if I do find myself generally agreeing with them otherwise. Someone who themselves has had threads in YTPB about them as well. But your need to make this about attacking YPTB really shows your unfounded conspiratorial mindset. If you have a need to feel persecuted. Tell yourself whatever you need though. It doesn’t bother me one way or the other. And if it’s a separate issue fair enough I will admit that I’m wrong.

Fair enough and rather a common sentiment. I think that’s about the only community there I follow and mostly to observe.

I’m assuming this is with relation to the YPTB thread accusing Kaplan and the world admins of being Zionist? I had a hunch there was more to the story.

He chooses pop over and over again at the worst times. The beta of cosmic was buggy for his use. And he installed it in the middle of a lanparty no less. That said. He eventually switched to mint same as Luke I think. Luke who has also been using, by the way. And he and Luke have had pretty positive things to say this time. Between windows actively going to shit and Linux continuing to chug along and improve.

No better way to prove there’s no oppression than to oppress over the claims of oppression.

Nice. Haiku would be a great lighter weight simple os for many SBC. I have it installed on an ancient core2 laptop. That technically can run windows 10. Technically. Haiku runs much better. Linux can run fantastic too. But I do enjoy the BeOS nostalgia.

Tom usually is. Extremely nerdy as well.
