"climate change and other left wing topics"... I know that's basically how it works in some countries, but it's insane to consider certain scientific facts left wing, and we really shouldn't support such statements.

Ubuntu is just getting worse and worse. I was pretty happy running Ubuntu server for years after moving from Gentoo; I jag lost interest in spending time taking care for that server and wanted something easy.

I went to Debian half a year ago and it's been great. Should've done it earlier.

I wouldn't say it's the definition, but I agree this is not surprising.
Toxic masculinity is much more though. Men bullying men because they do something "not manly" is toxic masculinity. It can be anything from not enjoying sports to showing emotion for any reason (even crying if a family member died).

Yet another article that (knowingly or not) frames it as "people don't want to pay for the API":

Reddit charging for access to its API is also about more than just third-party clients, Bruckman says. A move like this has angered so many people on Reddit because it feels like a betrayal of the community’s trust.

No mention that several third-party app creators are fine with paying for API access, as long as they can build a business model around the pricing.

This is graphics memory, not regular RAM.

You may disagree with her methods (as do I at times), but few (mostly climate change deniers) would disagree with her goals. She's spending her life trying to improve the future of the all humankind.

Most people need something to do. Being free all the time is rarely good for mental health.

Because the games that run on the Steam Deck are PC games, no emulation required. It's a joke.

the tu quoque is almost too tempting here

We can't be tolerant of people who are intolerant towards e.g. LGBT people; it doesn't work out in the end.

The entire abstract is AI. Even without the explicit mention in one sentence, the rest of the text should've been rejected as nonspecific nonsense.

Well, how it may work. It is fairly controversial.

It was "just" a bunch of clients in one though, AFAIK it couldn't connect people from different protocols.
Pidgin still exists; I used it probably 20 years back on Linux.

I think most replies are missing the main point OP is asking about.

The answer is yes, it matters. I started a run as Gale to learn the basics of the UI prior to starting playing. You learn an important (secret, to begin with) detail about Gale (a certain condition) as you as your exit the nautiloid.

On the other hand, playing as a custom character, he first told me about that 15 hours in, and even then only in very vague terms and refused to give more details when pressed.

So when you start as an origin characters, you really "are" that character. When they're just a companion, they'll keep secrets from you.

Yes, but 0.99999999999999999999 isn't 0.999... and therefore not 1, so it's still wrong.

Actively, no, but I haven't dropped it 100%. I occasionally visit when I find links via Google, and check some discussions about a few current TV shows that are basically dead on Lemmy/kbin.

Just under an hour a week in total (according to ActivityWatch), down from hours per day.

I literally haven't had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.

I'm not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.

Hm, where do they nag? I don't know what Pockets is and haven't seen anything about it.
I also never manually update Firefox, I just restart when it tells me it's downloaded an update.

Did you read it backwards? Or are you a huge NFT fan?

Please look up the facts. Doctors don't "cut off sex organs" or do ANY other physical changes to trans children.

They're more than good enough though. The like-to-dislike ratio it shows always lines up with what you'd expect the video to have.
