  • woke by definition doesn’t have a definition. It’s all the things that the lib-left does that the right doesn’t like, and that’s it. Any time we do something that they deem ‘too far’ or ‘too ridiculous’ they just label it as woke and stop thinking further. It’s a method of other-ing that allows them to not have to think about their bigotry.


  • omfg you weren’t kidding. just wasted 15 minutes scrolling through his comment history. multiple pages were for a SINGLE COMMENT THREAD where he just dug his heels in about operator precedence of all things and refused to budge. completely and utterly closed-minded while being ignorant to anything much beyond middle-school level. I feel sorry for the poor saps that tried engaging with him








  • bear in mind that the linked article expands and clarifies that it doesn’t mean banning all ads, it’s is talking about banning specifically paid ads (i.e. the advertised thing is spending money to be shown) and/or third-party ads (i.e. the advertised thing being shown in places that don’t already refer to them). So word of mouth is fine, a business catalog book is fine, all comparison/customer review/keyword search sites are fine, etc. The one thing I can think about is the smaller companies and businesses finding it much harder to gain traction, but word of mouth would replace advertisements and word of mouth is already quite effective - see the very site we’re talking on right now!









  • gentoo!!

    no but actually, linux mint is very good for newcomers, especially as its desktop has resemblance to windows. Pop!_os is also really good and better for gaming maybe? I would avoid ubuntu (slower and a lot more bloated) and especially manjaro (breaks a LOT without you even doing anything).

    I might also cautiously suggest arch? It’s kind of a meme in the community because of its own community being seen as a bit toxic, but once you’ve got past the install and customization process (which does admittedly take a lot of time and reading), you have a system that is entirely your own in almost every way. For example, in the case of desktop environments, you can use cinammon from mint or gnome from pop!_os or even a more lightweight one like xfce. You also tend to have a more stable system, as you won’t have unknowingly have some unstable packages hidden in the bowels of your system that get relied on by 73 other packages and could break at any moment.
