You probably shouldn’t be using an arch based distro if you want a user friendly experience.

I know there are things like manjaro and even endeavor os that are “arch but easy” but honestly I cannot in good faith recommend anything arch based for ease of use. Arch is a very fast moving distribution that usually has the newest packages but that isn’t always good. There will eventually be a problem come up, maybe not often and maybe not that serious but in my personal opinion it’s not worth it.

If you are wanting consistent ease of use and access to a lot of packages it’s hard to beat the mainstream distros. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, (personal favorite) etc… and if you need something from arch repositories just use distrobox. You get access to all arch packages without the headache.

Dude. I love gravity

I’ve been using Authenticator and haven’t really had any issues.

I imported my Aegis codes and they worked no problem

🤢

I use mastodon sparingly but that is largely because I don’t like micro-blogging.

toots.matapacos.dog

This is a pretty good left-leaning server on there.

I will say though mastodon largely is a liberal site. Most servers are full of those who left twitter sooooo…

If you like micro-blogging though it is the best alternative. Free and open source, and federated.

edit: wording

It’s very pretty and I could see myself using it but I will stick with breezy weather for now.

I just think this has too much going on and the information is spread out too much. This is all personal preference but I feel that I get a lot more information from breezy quicker.

Cool project tho. Really like the radar

This is wild. She even confirmed the address in her post. lmao.

Illinois is not a stand your ground state. Instead, it is a castle doctrine state. That means that individuals may stand their ground when they are in their homes, but not when they are outside of their homes. If a person is in their residence, they do not have to back down to threats of violence. If they are out of their homes, they must attempt to retreat instead of using self-defense

I hope she sues his ass. It would be so funny if this fucker ends up in jail

I really enjoy hexbear but I pretty much only engage with it through the lens of shitposting.

I’ll probably just ignore hex for a bit til they get it all sorted over there.

Probably still check out games tho

Thank you for posting this week in gnome here

I wouldn’t recommend duel booting on one drive.

I’ve done it before and hated it. As many pointed out windows will just destroy that partition because it wants to.

I’d honestly just stick with windows if you are going to need it.

If you don’t need it I’d just wipe the drive and install mint.

Duel booting can work well but usually only on separate drives

Ah cool. This will probably be better for newcomers since they won’t have to search for a tiny little “spins” at the bottom of the page.

Kde is probably a lot more familiar to windows users and I know I usually recommend it to people moving over even if I do prefer gnome.

Z-wave and home assistant.

All ya need

Like Quasimodo

God I love him. Such a well written character.

Honestly this is why.

“Things were cheaper under trump” which is sort of true.

Sure there are the extremities of the republican party who are deadset on abortions or trans people or whatever but I promise the majority that vote republican do so because things were cheaper under trump.

Political discussion in America is not very nuanced

Damn. Mask off huh?

Israel is an illegitimate state built off of stolen land and dead bodies.

Israel is committing an ethnic genocide and with America’s help is destroying Palestine which has a right to the land unlike the Israelis.

If there is a god I hope he is not merciful to the Israelis who have engaged in these atrocities.

From the river to the sea Palestine will be free

Also fuck you

I haven’t played an Assassin’s Creed game in years and I have no intentions to play the new one. But even I know the worst part of those games is the stupid damn story set in modern times that makes no sense.

WHY AREN’T THEY JUST GAMES SET IN THE PAST. WHY IS IT SIMULATION JUNK. WHAT

Godspeed soldier 🫡

I think gnome is working on the same sort of thing, read here.

I’m glad to see both going for an immutable os with flatpaks. It’s so much more user friendly for the average person and if you are more technically inclined distrobox makes it a breeze to use it like a regular linux desktop.

I hope both do well

I will say, imho, libertarian socialism (anarcho-communism as well) is an easier pill for some to swallow as an introduction to leftist thought.

It sort of just follows the thought of “everyone will get along because they will”. My real introduction to serious leftist thinking was right after I read parenti I decided to read some kropotkin and it got me into this sort of thought. And it didn’t take much reading of Marx to get me out of that headspace.

Many are just unwilling to realize how a communist state is needed not only for the early formation of a communist state but also for defense against capitalist forces.
