What’s your reasoning for ACAB?

Usually, the argument goes something like: cops are selected for and trained to default on violence to control (most) situations they encounter, and are given license to use it in excess. If you passed that selection process and went through the training, you have shown yourself willing to default to violence. Hence, bastard.

But PP is describing the police doing what they are supposed to be doing, i.e. protecting people. If they were doing that, they wouldn’t be using the excessive violence I just described, therefore no ACAB?

While Nietzsche spoke of this, we will unfortunately never know if he wrote of it because I can’t read.

A few years ago I went on one of those sites that just lists a shitton of them and one of them was like “the tides are just god pissing his pants when he sees chuck norris”, which conjured this image of chuck norris flying around the earth while god repeatedly pisses his pants and sucks the piss back up his dick twice a day like a straw. I have never seen a chuck norris joke land the way it’s supposed to lol.

How many of your friends you game with are non-linux users? That sometimes happens, but rarely. Usually they’ll still play these titles when I’m not around. In fact the most common thing I’ve seen is they’ve already bought/downloaded the game and they’ll ask if I’m willing to join, to which I’ll say it doesn’t run. Everyone I’ve met tries to accomodate for that particular play session, but they don’t extend that as far as their purchasing habits.

There can be a ton of reasons, albeit I personally also just stick with default (for me zsh). In typical linux user fashion I also must tell you that bash and zsh are shells, not terminals.

The two main reasons you’d choose a particular shell is because you prefer it’s configurability or syntax. Zsh has a bunch of features that you can enable and you can configure it to behave basically however you want, like adding spelling correction or multiline editing, but it’s defaults absolutely suck unless your distro comes with a sensible config. Fish, which another guy here’s raved about, goes in basically the opposite direction and is really nice to use out of the box (I haven’t used it though). I hear it’s technically not a valid /bin/sh substitute like zsh or bash because of syntactic differences, but that’d be a whole other rabbit hole if true.

One other reason can be performance concerns because bash is pretty slow when treated as a programming language, but I’d argue you shouldn’t organize your workflow so that bash is a performance bottleneck.

Over Christmas I got an 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless controller because I found a GitHub gist page that showed it’d just take a udev rule to get all the features (gyro & extra buttons) working… only to find out that’s a different controller than the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth. Something to keep in mind. Additionally, now that I have the latter too I will note that I could only get those features working when it’s paired through bluetooth, not wired or using the WiFi dongle.

Where’d you get those numbers? I looked it up and they cost 20$, 10$, and 50$ respectively.

If your argument for Wayland is “stop using thousands of dollars in hardware to get it working”, then that’s not going to convince anyone. He doesn’t address that as a solution because that’s obviously a last resort.

I mean, it is a fantasy setting. The realism is already out with the “I magic 3Tbsp. of precum into your butt” line

Don’t worry too much about it is my take.

Yes, you’re almost certainly going to find people who are enherently discusted by that. I’ve met women who’d just say “…eww”. I’ve also met women who’d be like “bro saaame!” People vary in opinion, and I find it unlikely that if you were in a relationship with another girl they’d be the former (though I wouldn’t know because I’m a guy and never been in a relationship; someone else would have to chime in on this point).

I think it’s important to also consider why people look down on guys for being obsessed with tits&ass. Usually, the implication I get is that the issue is feeling like you’re being used for sexual gratification, not the emphasis on sexuality. An unsolicited DM praising your nipples doesn’t exactly make you feel like you’ve got good looking nipples. I think if you’re clear about not “using” their sexual characteristics and just like them in the same way you’d like flowers or whatever, then at that point most of the “weirdness” is that it’s non-sexual. Personally I find that to be more of a quirky kind of weird than a gross kind of weird.

Go to anyone who mainly game either on consoles or a non-hand-built computer this. They won’t do it, because it requires they spend a couple dozen hours researching not only parts but also distros, which is something they know they already don’t care about. I think you might be underestimating the expertise you have in this subject by having it as a hobby if you think that’s easy.

yet another proprietary box like a console that affects repairability and how much of it you actually “own” it just because it has linux on it

Even if I assume the steam hardware is as proprietary as any other random piece of hardware (don’t think that’s true), the reality is that I easily trust Valve 2-10x more in this regard than a Sony / Nintendo / whatever prebuilt to actually deliver a product that doesn’t ship my data off to an advertiser and let’s me replace the ssd without hardlocking itself. The Steam Deck has already done a better on this.

Limits can resolve to infinity. The coastline paradox is just the observation that the (semi-reasonable) assumption that landmasses are fractal shaped implies the coastline tends towards infinity with smaller yardsticks.

Speaking of PICO-8, there’s also TIC-80 which is pretty similar (albeit with a smaller, less polished library of games). I’m a fan of Shadow Over 12 Lands, but I don’t know if a JRPG like that is too close to what OP considers a “traditional RPG”.

has a topic related name

“wallwiz” is also pretty closely related to the topic. As OP states it also sounds less juvenile.

unique new logo

using a penguin as a mascot in foss is hardly unique.

uses ai in a useful way

we’re on lemmy so there’s almost certainly going to be a couple other replies that hammer on this specific point. But for my part: use of AI, to me, communicates a lack of effort. If they had commissioned someone who could be more familiar with the actual project to do the branding, that would tell me it’s a project they gave a shit about.

expresses art

I don’t consider “ai art” to actually be art. This is a whole debate we could have but I’ll leave it at that.

Unless you’re talking about the functionality of the program, but that’s separate from the branding issue OP is complaining about.

provides stuff to theme your distro

Yeah that’s just what the program does. OP has no issues there.

has a unique branding

The branding is ai generated, which is to say: it looks like any other github repo with a filled out README.md

is inclusive

What do you mean by this? Feels like a random adjective to throw out there.

Disposable sure, but it sounds like they’re describing using rechargeable ones?

I find it’s even worse with music than movies, especially if you include not knowing the thing in question at all. The movie guy reaction to not having watched the #8 top grossing movie the year is “dude how have you not seen it??? You’ve gotta see it!”, the music guy reaction to not hearing any of the #8 top musician/band this year is “are you a shutin or a dumbass? everyone I know listens to them!”. I’ve even seen both of these reactions from the same person lol.

I swear, a lot of gay dudes just don’t have “bisexual” in their vocabulary. Like they don’t stop to think that maybe “hey, any straight guys around here like the thought of making another man cum?” reads like “hey bachelors, hows the wife doin?” to anyone who knows what words mean?

Like, I can get there being some fetishization/roleplay around “converting” a straight guy gay. But that’s never the angle. They just use the word straight like they know everyone on earth wants to suck their dick.

I like the idea of scaled; boosting posts from smaller communities seems like it’d be a great way to find the niches I’m into.

The problem I run into is that it goes so far that not being upvoted at all is enough to put a post on the front page. That’d be fine if it was pulling from a variety of sources, but testing it out just now I saw 5 posts in a row from the portugal comm, all with a +1 -0 score. Is it supposed to work like that or am I missing something?

edit: 6 actually lol
