People should be aware that Tor is gonna be quite a bit slower and isn’t practical for things like streaming.


I’m the farthest thing from an expert when it comes to programming, etc., but my understanding was that the FOSS end of it is more about which license you use to distribute, and whether or not you provide the code to the public?

I don’t really understand how that would affect the functioning of the app itself. But again, I’m not a programmer so maybe I’m missing something here.


My uncle works at the fediverse and gets all the games before they come out


Oh word… I tried MPV briefly but didn’t like it as much as vlc


I wish MPC had a linux version. One of the few pieces of Windows-only software (along with foobar2000) that I actually miss.

A few months back I decided to fuck around and see if I could get it working in wine, and it seemed to work OK, but pretty jank. Too jank to consider seriously using.


I was having issues with it the other day, and so I pasted the URL into my browser and it would not let me watch past 1 min of any video without disabling ublock.

Needless to say, I didn’t watch the video. I’m done with using YouTube in any official way. If they successfully remove all options for avoiding ads on their site, then I will just never go there again.


What do you think the line is? When will it cross over and become acceptable to call it “fascism”? Because we’ve embodied Eco’s 14 features of Ur-Fascism for like 20 years. We now have a de facto dictator who is using that framework to do explicitly fascist things… Where is the line?



Neither did he last administration and neither will the next.

How the fuck are people still this clueless. Talk to anyone who is learned on US history and ask them if this is the same as previous administrations.



The explanation is that they will just use this shit to target whomever they please regardless of reason. This is how fascism works.

It is meant to be confusing. Stop trying to rationalize it, you’re wasting energy.


they still need a warrant to do that

Lol…

In fascism, if you have the biggest gun, you do what you want. And Trump has the biggest “gun”



If it’s between fascism and communism, the answer is pretty fucking simple imo. Only one of those ideologies considers all people to be equal.

And no, I am not a communist, and I would not choose communism unless it was the only alternative to fascism.


Just opened it up to check… It is Arch. I was able to grab pacman and use it to get fastfetch to confirm (as if I needed to at that point lol).


Possibly related, but I was able to download a distrobox image of SteamOS through BoxBuddy. Dunno if it’s legit or what, but I was able to play games through it (though made no sense to). This was a week or two ago that I saw it on the dropdown when installing a new box.

Edit: I see other people in this thread mentioning some old steamos so maybe it’s that I dunno, maybe I will check later.
