also OOPS! soon their country might not have jet fuel for the flight

omg I thought your quote was parody and then I read the article

Apparently one of the reasons for advertising off-site is because OF does not have an on-site discovery mechanism. So there really aren’t other options. Not the fault of the performers.

maybe someone made a NFT of it

So… there goes Amazon’s argument that they should ever get preferential tax treatment due to all the jobs they supposedly create

by what metric is nuclear the “most efficient” or “most powerful” energy source?

Alternatively, consider the following:

• look around for a $50-100 used PC/mini-pc/laptop that someone is getting rid of because it won’t run Win11
• install something easy like Mint on it and use that for day-to-day stuff like browsing and office-type stuff.
• unplug the music PC from the internet and keep DAW, games & win10 on it
• explore and learn the Linux stuff in a low-pressure way, at your own pace.

Is that supposed to be a “censored” version of a slur at the end of your comment?

I don’t want echo chambers, I want places that aren’t full of reactionary assholes.

You’re saying “stop caring about downvotes”, well then, why not get rid of them entirely?

Are they trying to release them, or are they trying to look like they’re trying to release them

One thing desperately needed is a method for mods/admins to check for brigading behaviour. This place (the threadiverse, not this community specifically) is crawling with more reactionary toxicity than almost anywhere I’ve ever seen, but it’s mostly cowardly ignorant people silently hammering the downvote button rather than saying out loud the thing that would get them insta-banned.

Also real blocks are needed - all we have right now is a glorified ‘mute’. If I block an asshole, not only is it because I don’t want to see their BS, but I also don’t want them to be able to see my posts & comments, at least not from that account.

to tell you the truth, I don’t know! I think I just saw someone asking about tiling window managers in some forum, and a reply suggested trying the xfce functions since they mostly just wanted to use two side-by-side windows occasionally. I do it a good chunk of the time now, but it’s not always the most convenient method on small screens & monitors

Even just the key combos (win+numpad) to do basic tiling in XFCE are a huge plus

This is a crisp answer, nice one.

sigh

You said it doesn’t matter if we can tell how something was made.

This conversation is over. Thanks

Ah to be fair i did misinterpret your previous statement.

But no, I am arguing that we are not able to ignore knowledge of the production process. Nothing mystical about that.

That’s not a rejection of what I said, so I assume you agree.

No, I’m saying we can no longer meaningfully separate the product and the process.

I am saying that we can no longer meaningfully separate the two things.

First you said “it doesn’t matter if we can tell or not”, which I responded to.

So I’m confused by your reply here.
