Neither.

I’m hostile towards telemetry by default because of how much spyware there is in today’s technology. I’ll only allow it if it’s reasonable ( e.g. a GPS getting your location, system diagnostics for software devs ) and it’s consentual.

I plan on eventually boycotting English as much as I can. Both because of what global English represents, and to counteract the massive international pressure to do everything in English and its consequences.

In my experience, most Windows-exclusive games work just fine under Wine. It’s not that big a deal.

This thread isn’t even about Windows games per se, but about a few games whose anti-cheats are screwing over Linux users.

Not sure why there are so many downvotes. Are there really that many people in here of all places who think gaming is just triple-A games from companies that don’t respect their players and nothing else?

Edit: wording

That our memories are all we really know and have. They’re also volatile, and are usually changed to support a narrative.

Be careful.

Individualism.

Backups of my old computers.

Force all social media to become non-profits.

Depends on what “existential dread” means.

I stand corrected. Still gross asf though.

Same. This place has serious “I use Ubuntu btw” vibes for me.

Why is Archland (btw) so small? Where’s Manjaroland, EndeavourOSville, etc?

What specs do you have that makes GIMP load in 2 milliseconds?

Ugh, Chr*me. Disgusting.

It helps to remember that the mind is not a truth machine, but a survival machine.

I recommend learning some psychology. The more you know about how the mind works, the easier it is to understand and spot logical fallacies, both in yourself and others.

Edit: also, you should practice those critical thinking skills instead of just keeping them in theory. You could apply them to past situations, for example.

I’m autistic too.

My point isn’t that autistic people have a single, utopian personality, but that we’re generally less susceptible to certain social/psychological phenomena that tend to make societies shittier.

A world where all humans are autistic.

It wouldn’t solve everything, but at least there wouldn’t be room for chronic reification, useless charismatic narcissists, Cartesian dualism, etc to become big issues like they are in our world.
