Because words have consequences. It's not just about "snowflakes", it's also misinformation. Do you not remember what happened during the Covid lockdowns? Do you not remember how Trump gained power?

You are of course free to ignore everything anyone says, unfortunately many people hang onto their every word and before you know it, being trans is now considered a mental illness by a load of people who get to make decisions about what happens to trans people when they need medical care.

Which is an entirely fair compromise for people who use Lemmy, but means precisely nothing to the majority.

At only double the price of an equivalently priced smart one! Bargain _/s

Kickback-shifted hubs and coaster brakes have been a thing absolutely forever and they all perform perfectly fine downhill, not sure why this would be any different!

And how exactly does that fix the issue with the client going against the spirit (if not the law) of the GPL?

You'll not have to download anything then, AMD drivers are baked in. You'll literally be able to boot your OS for the first time, install a game and it'll get full performance off the bat

Even in the States where spaces are generally big enough to accommodate these things they still block sidewalks and park across multiple spaces. People who drive these stupid things are just arseholes

Waiting for the army of MS shills coming to tell you that they can't possibly use Linux because of the myriad high end professional-grade software they use which means absolutely no one could ever go near Linux either. Because that's really important when it comes to getting more life out of your shitty 2gb Atom netbook

Maybe if people/browser makers didn't bend over to this nonsense, the websites would figure it out. You know, the people who's problem that is (because yes, if you run a website and want to make money off it, that's your problem to fix not mine, and it's certainly not my job to cater to it).

If you just install Linux on your Mac and have a dark Qt theme set, Qbittorrent will also be dark.

I thought we'd blocked ads already?

Dark Reader extension turns all websites into dark mode whether they like it or not.

Checkmate!

I'm really curious to see what their regular mouse is like purely so I can recommend it to others (The amount of people I show my Classic to and they're immediately put off because it's a ball not a rodent is crazy). Wish there were more to choose from as well but I'm glad at least someone is doing it!

Or if they're a tradesman of some kind, a van

Ploopy mice are a real thing and run QMK. I have their Classic trackball and it's an absolute beast

I found out not long ago that I can't donate blood in the US because I'm British and lived here during the 1990's so could theoretically be carrying mad cow disease.

You can do that with a Pinecil too, there is a web-bluetooth frontend available for the V2 (the V1 doesn't have Bluetooth).

You're 100% right. Linux itself is perfectly capable for a lot of users (note I didn't say all users, or even most users, before people start coming at me with their weird edge case that requires Windows) but the community of both users and devs do absolutely nothing good to get people on board.

Wasn't there also very recently a whole thing about the single guy who maintains the NTP spec threatened to retire so he could get a "real" job, which caused a gigantic internet-wide panic as pretty much everything we do relies on computer's clocks being perfectly synced?

Or just anything

My phone's battery is absolutely fine, although it isn't expensive in the slightest (weird of you to assume it is...) but regularly hits below 30% battery towards the end of the day even without playing games. I could use a battery bank, but I'd still need that external controller which is yet another thing to carry and is awkwardly shaped and wouldn't fit anywhere near as well in a pocket.

Again, weird to think I'm "worried" about anything. I'd just rather reserve my phone's battery for when I need to use it, instead of wasting substantial amounts of it playing games.
