The only thing better is to be a giant, unkillable sex wizard and not be remembered.

Yeah. We have other shit to deal with right now.

When someone points out something I normally care very strongly about, but also absolutely can’t do anything, my reaction is brief euphoria, including giggling sometimes.

This makes it so that I sometimes giggle at inappropriate times.

Basically, just hearing about the situation charges me up to do something about it, but that tension is released before I can do anything, because it’s literally impossible to do something. This is the same psychological mechanism that powers most jokes, it just isn’t triggered as often by real events, because real events aren’t engineered to “hit right.”

I just came back to this thread. All I see is a blasted wasteland of shame. I can infer some of what happened, but holy cow.

Reasonable point.

There are quite a few videos from different perspectives of the same incident. I do not think that weak language is warranted.

Perhaps it was at the time of posting, but it’s clear in the video that at least one of Ice clearly fucked up.

No, my friend… Shits and giggles.

Yes… There’s reason for this language… “appears to,” “alleged criminal,” etc.

…but as you say, there’s no need for that language here. There is no ambiguity.

you mean, run non-steam games on steam deck, using your existing files?

if so, you’ll need to transfer them and duplicate what the installer does, in a Wine environment like proton, and that’s prone to error and subtle necessities, like this or that software / windows component not being present. it’s honestly not worth it. you can’t (or usually can’t) do this windows->windows, and it’s even harder to go windows->Linux (wine).

if you mean, transfer the steam games from windows to deck, then just enable local sharing.

I agree, to some significant extent. But I don’t agree with the suppression of violence, here. Rather, it should be channeled into the ranks of said organized alternatives.

…but if there are no organized alternatives, and someone loses their shit, they should do a little research and aim at the most egregious lawnreakers first.

The casus belli argument might be meaningful if they weren’t already bellicose, and actively pursuing violence. So go hide in a corner.

that said, I don’t advocate violence yet (until, perhaps, an actual dictatorship is established and election terms are violated). It’s still a situation that has potential to be resolved internally, with law, come the elections this year - if there’s meaningful action by the representation.

However, if someone loses their shit, I argue that they should do their homework and go for the most dire of lawbreakers first.

don’t pretend your mind doesn’t work well enough to comprehend what I’m saying.

The specific violence is highly contextual. And it’s wise to be light on specifics, but for historical examples you can look up the history of German and Austrian resistance fighters in Germany during and prior to world war 2 if you like. Efforts both peaceful and violent had an impact and contributed to the allied victory.

A good example would be finding specific individuals who have broken the law and killed people, but who have avoided any legal repercussion, and ensuring that there is a repercussion.

It’s definitely not an action that should be taken wildly, or while on tilt. but we’re approaching the point of needing that kind of action.

they did. It was called World War 2.

Chad Bose.

this is the argument that caused people to permit the Nazis.

The Gnome overview is simple enough to use that people think there’s nothing to it.

I’ve never had a better tool for interacting with apps, and I’ve worked with a lot of tools / DEs. There are some that are arguably more fun, or that clearly give better customization options.

…but just being a clean tool that works, provides what you need, looks good doing so, and gets out of your way? Gnome, hands down.
