A lot of the better creators are on Nebula. I don’t think they’d take Pewds though.

I was pretty miffed because the switch over on Arch was a pain in the ass. A naïve pacman -Syu and the day was ruined.

It’s best to look out for their tactics rather than individuals. Nothing stops someone from making a new account once they get known to be a KF or /pol/ troll.

That repo always seems to lag quite a bit behind official releases. Multiple times on arch I’ve edited config files to have it lie about its version number to get it to keep working.

The videos and stills show soldiers forcing Palestinian men to parade in their underwear, abusing captives, looting and vandalising homes and even dressing up in women’s clothing they ransacked.

HRF lawyers and online activists trawl through mountains of images and videos submitted to them online to verify and geolocate each one, check its metadata and verify its chain of custody, from the soldier filming it through to HRF, Abou Jahjah explained.

Where the perpetrator is a dual national, HRF seeks prosecution under the second country’s existing laws on war crimes and in the case of sole Israeli citizens, collate legal files, which are then filed as evidence with the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Abou Jahjah has also been personally threatened by Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli, who – alluding to the attacks on Hezbollah’s members’ communication systems in September 2024 – told him to “watch your pager”.

Since compiz fusion is long deprecated, I stick to Xmonad with almost no visual changes from the stock install, other than tweaks to make some colors lower contrast.

Once you incorporate networking, you’ve lost me. I’d rather implement ed on a billion NAND chips. Soldering is enjoyable and physical; networking gives me aneurysms.

I believe in your right to access gender affirming care (installing netbeans)

As a gay trans man, looking down on people who code in anything other than C is my toxic masculinity. Don’t let reactionaries take it away from me.

You’re not a real man if you use an IDE. Vim and gcc were good enough for the founding fathers (D & R), they’re good enough for me.

The hard drive and monitor are broken, the fans are busted from experimentation with Half Life 2, but there will still always be

I can’t think of a single online space ever that has catered to trans men. It’s always infinitely easier to just act like a cis dude 99% of the time.

I guess there is Hudson’s Guide lol.

What scares me is that I’ve tried to hook multiple “geekier” teenagers on Linux, and they aren’t interested. Even the math-y ones don’t know the difference between an operating system and a browser. My main computer is Arch with xmonad and it disturbs and confuses them.

We have a lost generation when it comes to computers. Lots of the little geeks that would have been playing around in the registry or learning powershell 15 years ago are so stuck in walled gardens that they don’t even know there’s a world outside of them.

People meme about “q!” but it is super helpful to have that extra step, because sometimes your fingers are moving faster than your brain is. That quick switch back-n-forth vim - gcc - ./a.out loop and my probably ADHD mean that vim saying, “hey, remember you haven’t saved this yet” is a godsend.

You are right about the best part about vim - you can work as fast you type.

I prefer vim, but vi is nice too. (I miss Vimperator for Firefox)

It’s just so fast when you get it down. It works well with a cli-only work flow. Why use mouse when type very fast?

There’s immense pleasure and honor in writing C the way our ancestors did.

I see a lot of teenagers falling for the “I’m a Gazan and need help getting out.” accounts too.

It was fun, but vim ultimately made more sense and is what I used for note taking most of the time now.

At one point in college I decided to make myself take notes in ed for a semester for the lulz

Also - not just when something breaks? Like, you want to change the color of something, an icon, the default response to a key bind or behavior…. There are so many times when I’m forced to use commercial software and there’s some inane extra thing that is messing up my work flow, and there’s no way to change it.

My Arch machine has only the things I want on it. I don’t have to dig into registry keys to disable Cortana or whatever. When I’m running on poverty hardware, dwm/xmonad are bare enough DEs that I can internet browsers smooth and fast.

Linux will let you do whatever you want as long as you are smart/determined to spend hours googling.

His family couldn’t care for him, and in the United States, there is no mental health care for the indigent. A horrific, pointless and tragic death, the same as suffered by many schizophrenics. He was a talented and capable man, and he probably would still be alive if we didn’t live in a failing society.
