for me, gnome seemed unnecessarily cumbersome to use with its minimalism

My experience: its scourge and a scam.

If you live somewhere with less than millions of people, pool of viable matches is likely so small there is just no point. And if you dont want to pay money, its even more waste of your time.

I doubt its much better for females either, though they likely have opposite problem; have to pick the right one out of sea of shit and hope they dont accidentally choose someone who they really dont want to choose.

All in all, dating apps just damage natural partner finding system and should be banned.

For me, i really lucked out and found someone without having to use one. I did try several application for some time and its just like drinking saltwater when you need water. Definitely not worth using any of them, you just waste your time and might delude yourself that you might find someone by using them when you should instead try other things, thus actively preventing yourself from finding anyone.

that is good point. Having tons of people who would prefer to use windows but cant or dont for some reason is the way for them starting to demand stuff that would make things more like windows. Have enough of them and they might start having an impact and who knows where that might lead, most likely nothing positive though.

games imo, but only if you are properly creative with what you do, otherwise you end up with comedy at best. Watched a streamer play some horror game with friend where if you make too much noise at microphone, you die. Biggest difficulty they had was they kept laughing too much at everything. At the end streamer also commented about the design of the game and how it would have been better if there had been for example, monsters that react to your sound differently; maybe some have to be yelled at to stay away or some are attracted to sound or whatever. But instead the game was just “if sound exceeds certain treshold you die and thats it”.

With games you can do so much more than any other media, since its possible for you to “be there” and have more at stake than just reading or watching things happen to someone else. But you have to be creative about the game and cant be lazy on the gameplay design, otherwise might as well just not bother and do some other genre.

well, its not directly a question. more of an invitation for discussion about the topic since i wanted to hear what everyone here thinks about it.

The thing i’m worried is the embrace & extinguish strategy the corporations like microsoft use. So far there has been little reason for them to care, since linux has been so marginal operating system, but I think there is good chance linux might become really popular. Win11 is such a mess and combined with really expensive ram, it might not even be useable for many, so only other option is to either use apple or linux

there should be somekind of limit to how fast you can post to deter that, like only one post per random number of seconds. And each post posted would add even more random seconds on top of that for like 30min, that would make it really annoying to code automation for the mass posting while real users likely wouldnt even know its happening.

Or at least there should be something unpredictable that limits how fast you can do things.

ah, then hopefully it wont get any worse

yes, but what about annas archive itself? Decentralization is good and resilient, but the authoritans will attack the website and its maintainers directly. Maybe they will try blocking it, or demonize it and its users or maybe they will even start uploading malware there to make it worse to use. In general, as long as things stay out of general public’s view they are somewhat safe, but I bet this will have at least some news organizations mention it.

Each day we have less and less rights and protections so we(as in the piracy community in general) have to make sure we will survive despite of that. Not just for ourselves but to preserve things for everyone.

at this point, i doubt people would revolt even if they started getting escorted to slaughterhouses. We have become docile cattle for the ones in power to do as they want. Prove me wrong if you disagree.

why must every good site draw attention to themselves like this? Make alternative site for music if you must make such a spectacle out of it, so when the hammer falls it doesnt take out the books too. Or at least have some kind of plan on how to survive it, which i really hope they do.

or at least have a rule to clearly label them as unsubstantiated

and by sticking to their bullshit, they prove that they are way more weakminded than they would ever appear by just admitting.

should just reply “it is now :)” to asses who say something like that

americans are also exposed to constant propaganda, so no wonder they are messed up

Rich people seem to have kind of obsession about the ai. It MUST be stuffed into every single thing for some reason, no matter if its detrimental or not. I wonder if its because if the ai thing fails, it means trillions might evaporate.
