Just missing the “look of realization” to round it out.

Meh, the angry faces could give us an alternative 4th panel response. Thank you for the emojis :)

The blue eyed goblin (don’t remember if we know the name yet) and Sneeze’s faces would serve as good alternative Padme and Anakin emojis.

Could Chief be doing the Freddie Mercury pose now?

Sneeze:

This one isn’t accurate either, but the pointing gesture to the left I thought was something from Spongebob or another cartoon, but I can’t find where it is. It might be related to the sad cupcake pose.

I had a feeling it was related to the “my disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined” meme, but the pose isn’t 100% accurate.

When I was becoming a socialist, Hakim’s videos on North Korea and his documentary recommendation surprised me and made me realize that this wholesome country is nothing like I was told from the media and school, and I became really angry about the genocide and austerity forced upon them by the West:

• Why is North Korea so weird?
• What If North Korea was a Democracy? (Response to @SecondThought and Face-Reveal)
• Daily life in North Korea - “My Brothers and Sisters in the North” (Full awarded documentary)

I also learned that day after watching the videos that North Korea has some of the most bangin music.

At this point I’m convinced there are multiple references like this per comic (maybe not from the start, but in more recent ones) and usually they’re just too hard to spot.

I was curious from an older comic if anyone could figure out if the last panel with Gabi sitting sad next to a cupcake was a reference to anything:

Your CW and NSFW filter helps. I logged into hexbear and this was on the top page and gave me a scare. Thank you :)

Does there need to be a rule for no gross out posts? I remember the last post here that grossed me and others out was removed by moderators for this reason.

I like how noises are interpreted differently across languages.

I came across SomeOrdinaryGamers after watching a LEMMiNO documentary about the deep web. I was interested in the deep web and found Mutahar’s deep web series. I started watching him because I found him funny, and later I enjoyed his LSD Dream Emulator series, his Linux content, his creepypasta/nosleep reads, and his other computer related content. I don’t consider myself to have fallen into the pipeline, though. I was already exploring alternative economic systems and systems of government at this time after being appalled by the repeal of net neutrality. I was becoming more socialist each year, and listening to SomeOrdinaryGamers and other creators talk about yet another tech right being stripped away from us by the US left me more tired and frustrated with my material reality. I stopped watching SomeOrdinaryGamers and various other creators once I became full-on communist and I realized they were anti-communist, were spreading CIA propaganda bullcrap, and did some things that lost my respect for them.

Tbh, I’m not a fan of them complaining this conservative dunce isn’t hot. We need more women in Marxist/leftist podcasts, otherwise they tend to be boys clubs.

Also I completely agree with LadyCajAsca, I just want to address most of the points you mentioned here.

Yeah LadyCajAsca understood my point. The struggles of open source in a capitalist system stem from the system itself, and the flaws won’t be resolved until the system is abolished, we nationalize the tech companies, subsidize open source development, and put the means of computing/production into the workers’ hands.

I love Linux; I love open source technology. It has been my passion for years, and I have tried really hard to push people into taking back their soveriegnty, and I am not going to stop doing so. You essentially understood each of the points I have made, and I do want to mention KDE is an exception for the file and folder sharing convenience, though setting up Samba is a pain, especially with SELinux, and working with sshfs and nfs requires people to go into power user territory.

I’m not necessarily complaining about Linux. I just recognize there’s a lot of important flaws both underneath the hood and outside, and seeing the current system in the West collapse very quickly gives me the sense that we’re not likely going to see those flaws fixed off the backs of people’s free time and barely sustainable donations alone, but only once we change the system as a whole that is weighing us down and stopping us and the products of our labor from reaching our full potential.

From my experience, there was always some issue with me using “beginner friendly” distros that forced me down the Arch/Gentoo/etc. path, often due to lack of hardware support for newer devices or some feature unsupported in fixed release distros that I needed. I wish Mint offered a KDE version like it used to, and these forks of corporate Linux distros tend to get screwed over in some way and either have to support an abandoned feature or hardware or fix a controversial issue nobody likes, or they don’t have the manpower to continue the project. Thus we need more funding and to overthrow capitalism so we can efficiently push for progress and standardization like China has been doing.

I often encounter bugs and lack of features that there are no alternatives or workarounds for. FreeCAD (an open source project not related to Linux, but I am using as an example for open source in general) won’t even let me trim a curve at a point without going through this ridiculous process. Wayland development is slow and full of developers arguing over simple features for years. Flatpaks still have a lot of issues, and installing packages is still a moderately steep learning curve for new users, and GUIs for package managers are still slow and failure-prone to this day. When Linux breaks, it’s nice we can look into where it failed and fix it, but this requires users to have some proficient technical skills that the majority of the population doesn’t have. Battery life is still a problem, even on laptops. Plug-and-play input devices and other peripherals and hardware still do not always work out of the box. Linux security is not user friendly nor to the level of Android devices. The Linux kernel is in a constant state of flux and isn’t ever really stable. File and folder sharing is still not as user friendly as it is on Windows. Lack of proper sandboxing and malware scanning.

The list goes on. I believe there still a lot of missing infrastructure that is reliable and not requiring CLI on Linux. Users who try Linux inevitably have to start learning to do IT professional work when something in their system breaks. This wouldn’t be as much of a problem if we had more funding in open source, which I don’t see happening by the time our system collapses.

I haven’t used Guix yet, but I have been researching it for a while and would like to practice using it soon.

It’s also useless when it can’t even do basic phone functions like stable and reliable calls, reasonable battery life, and all components on the phone supported and working. So many people want apps on Linux mobile, but we don’t even have the foundation fully built.
