Quoting: elmapulhere on my country many people believed that covid was just an conpiration to break the economy and implement comunism or something like that...

Quoting: LoftyThere's no effort required. Just choose a counter narrative and your given a special shiny hat and told to sit in the corner whilst all the big kids walk themselves off the edge of that existential cliff.

Quoting: CatKillerIt's not Feral's decision, though. They need to persuade game developers to give Feral a cut of the income in exchange for making a handcrafted artisanal boutique Linux/Mac version out of their Windows-only game and providing full support, rather than the game developer relying on Proton (which doesn't cost them any money) and telling their Linux customers to go stick their head in a pig if there are any problems. The lower the Linux market share, or the better Proton is perceived to be, the harder that is.

Quoting: The_Aquabatyep I was checking my weather forecast and tomorrow it will be 25C and it's winter :dizzy:
but last week we had below 0C temperatures... global warming sucks

Yes, well, for a little while a few weeks ago, here in British Columbia there were places with the third highest temperatures on Earth. That is not supposed to happen in Canada. One town beat its previous climate record by 4-5 degrees C for days on end, hitting mid-40s, and then spontaneously combusted and burned to the ground. Really, WTF?!

Quoting: dubigrasuThere was the Steam Machine assembled and delivered by Valve themselves (the one I personally like to call the "real" Steam Machine, I'd love to have one of those)

Quoting: BOYSSSSSThis is one of the biggest misconceptions the Linux community has that makes Linux very unfriendly to new users.
You think that it's easy for a newbie to search the whole internet (Linux wikis, forums etc.) for a command that will need to be put in the terminal to run something. And at the same time you think it's hard for anyone to find a button in System Settings or Launcher Menu.
It's the opposite! You even have a search bar to help you with finding things.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhat's annoying about Windows is mostly all the Xtra Proprietary-ness.

But you do realize that most of people do not care about that? We may, but most of the folks just want to get their job done.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThe way if you're not using Microsoft Edge as your browser (and who does?) it will keep on badgering you to start. The way it keeps popping up weird notifications that sound like something dire but if you think about it for a while is actually just them complaining that you set your settings not to hand over all your data. The other popups that are basically just incomprehensible and almost certainly irrelevant, but which sound like your computer is on fire or something.

Quoting: CatKillerThis is a fallacy, btw. If you're not into computers, you're only looking skin-deep. "This is the Internet, this is the app store, this is the update button" is all they need to know. Linux is the ideal grandmother OS. It's the Windows Power Users that have the hardest time; they're very familiar with the entrails of Windows and freak out about Linux' guts being different when they try to poke at them.
