can you define “left-leaning bias”? because many people say that and actually mean “doesn’t arbitrarily go ‘both sides!’ every time an issue is brought up”

it’s not “left-leaning bias” to recognize the state of the world and the solutions to it, that’s just being sane and not-evil.

why would you ruin all their hard work putting their scent on the clothes? they’ll just have to do it again when you’ve washed them!

humans are baffling creatures

sounds like a good background for a proper paladin, no?

person grows up well adjusted and happy, including being taught to have morals, so when they learn about the horrors in the world they go “fuck that noise” and pledge themselves to make the world less shit.

And since they’re just… a normal dude… they can be the party’s “straight man” who sees a half-feral goblin mage join the party and looks into the camera like in The Office.

what also helps a lot is not using sites like temu and amazon

What’s been working for me so far is just hard reloading the page, after that it seems to forget all about it so long as i’m on the same tab, though it also works just fine to keep making new tabs and hard reloading every time.

the vast majority of my feed is really good and i have a bigass pile of subscriptions to channels i want to watch basically every video from because they’re really good

learn to tell the algorithm to fuck off and serve you better things, don’t just blithely slurp up whatever it feeds you.

hopefully a case of “if i don’t include this keyword i will miss out on tons of shit from stupid people who want into the trend”

or homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis

bro basically everyone outside of africa has neanderthal and denisovan heritage, our ancestors had TONS of kids with other human species.

you do realize this makes everyone immediately discard your opinion, because it’s useless, right?

prune as fuck

you are aware that TUI has been a standard thing for ages, right? wanting GUI features inside a terminal isn’t new and i’m not sure if you had a point with this comment other than trying to dunk on them…

yeah no i’m sorry but this just sounds completely fucking made up

I’d summarize the current OS situation as

Windows Just Works until it doesn’t, at which point there’s basically nothing you can do about it and you just have to kick it until something clicks into place and it starts working properly again.

Whereas linux Just Works to a slightly smaller degree, but when it stops Just Working it does so in granular steps most of the time, and every part of the ecosystem tries to help you fix things when they break.

Windows is a resin-potted black box that takes input and does stuff, if it breaks you’re supposed to just chuck it and buy a new one.
Linux is a slightly bulkier thing that you can just unscrew and replace a capacitor when it breaks.

part that, and part just that windows is successful because it’s successful. Everyone learns windows, thus everyone uses windows, thus everyone teaches windows.
It’s like how all life on earth produces and consumes a specific form of sugar, but when you make sugar in a lab you get both forms, and the second form is completely inert to all digestive systems on earth.

i’m presuming it’ll be big picture mode but less shiiiiiiit

like yeah big picture mode works well enough but it’s definitely rough around the edges, for instance it doesn’t much like it when you switch to and from steam in big picture mode.

i’m sure the downvotes are for your opinion and definitely not because you said “retardation”. totally.

the obvious thing to me is just treating linux as the primary platform and treating windows like everyone else treats linux.

“yeah sure you can run it on windows if you want, try WSL or something i guess. good luck!”

is everyone forgetting that they made half life alyx? valve hasn’t lost their edge, they just operate on doing things they want to do, and they don’t want to make “half life 2 episode 15”

won’t somebody think of those poor poor shareholders
