@jeffowski @rzeta0 lol are you reading this off a script or something? Cause you're not responding to anything I said and making up shit you assume I believe

@jeffowski @rzeta0 neither, Trump is a fascist and Harris is a liberal

Nobody's defending Trump here by the way, you're doing the thing liberals do where they pretend that everyone who doesn't like their candidate is voting for Trump

I'm not American, if I was I'd potentially vote for Harris despite her being a cop (and probably continuing the genocide in Palestine to a similar extent as Biden, though most American leftists I've talked to told me they're unwilling to vote for any genocidal candidates), but blaming leftists not liking the Democratic Party for Trump being elected is nonsense

@jeffowski @rzeta0 the destruction of capitalism and state violence

Master of Puppets by Metallica came on the rock radio station and my first reaction was "oh shit E1M1 on the radio"

@siege cause I also prefer high framerates in games and then you implied that anyone who does is a Gamer who has no sense of aesthetics

@siege I feel like if eyes didn't do the equivalent of a high framerate I would literally be unable to pick up on high framerates on a screen lol

But yeah anyway I respect your opinion to prefer slower framerates but maybe don't paint anyone who disagrees as gamers and objectively in the wrong 😬

You're a cool person but I felt attacked by the post cause I'm a designer and my BA thesis was literally about how much Gamers suck 💀

@siege well the thing is, watching something and playing something are different things

I prefer watching stuff at normal framerates when it comes to movies and TV and stuff, but with games you are in control of what's going on usually

A higher framerate is closer to what your eyes do, as well as minimizing input lag which is important for certain types of game (especially stuff like twitch shooters - not a fan of them but hey people like them)

But yeah different types of media - games aren't made for *watching*, at least not as their primary function

@Mux @afewbugs it's not about it being "for nerds" or not, it's simply less accessible because it's not The Default and it's not what people are already used to using

There's always gonna be an uphill struggle in cases like these, and blaming people for not essentially gambling away their time for something unknown to them just reinforces the idea that Linux is for pretentious nerds

@Mux @afewbugs yeah, which people feel forced to adapt to, while switching to Linux feels like a waste of time and energy when you're working two jobs just so you don't starve or end up homeless

@schratze @mynameistillian cause of death: glue

I have created the logical conclusion of this meme

lmao wtf there's a gecko called the "satanic leaf-tailed gecko"

Apparently it's "satanic" cause it has red eyes and horn-like protrusions

@annika @alex unless you don't wanna end up on a CIA watchlist 💀

Oof I just discovered the concept of dead fedi instances' domains being taken over for nefarious purposes

I clicked on an artalley dot social link and it popped up with one of those "your device is at risk" scareware pages trying to get me to install an apk on my phone 😬

@ntnsndr huh fair

I live in a majority Orthodox country and here it's basically just, the patriarch is the big boss for all the priests in the country and all the power is centralised in his hands

He's also ultra-corrupt, was an informer of the Securitate and runs multiple companies through church middlemen (and can and does easily dismiss and/or blacklist anyone who goes against him)

@ntnsndr I mean it's the Catholic Church, isn't the whole point of it to be a monolith under the absolute control of the Pope?

@ntnsndr damn surprised they'd accept an article like this in a publication that's indirectly owned by the Vatican

@mdhughes @alex I had to look it up to make sure whether it's a joke or not

Was really hoping it wasn't cause it would've been even funnier if this was for real

@siege His name is Burt Bees

@futurebird yeah but he has a show on MSNBC and we all know that there is literally no difference between neoliberalism and communism
