  • Trans teen’s chess win in Germany prompts backlash

  • I don't agree that that is the motivation. You're confusing cause and effect. The competition space is dominated by men because of social and cultural norms, which is why they made a women's division. It's not so there's "less pressure", it's so the entire top level of the competition isn't entirely men and there's actually a meaningful competition for both groups.

  • UK’s chief rabbi says Bob Vylan Glastonbury chant was ‘vile Jew-hatred’

  • Okay Jesus Christ dude you didn't have to just do the same fallacies in the other direction... What edgy atheist hurt you?

  • 21-Year-Old: Need Real Advice on Greys & Balding

  • Honestly I think if you lean into the grey hairs it can totally work for you. I understand wanting to stop the balding (assuming it's actually happening and not just you imagining things -- see a dermatologist), but just because you have some grey hairs doesn't mean you'll look like an old man in a couple years. You can always dye it if you want to, but as someone who's had some grey in my hair since my 20s, it's really not going to age you that much on its own, and some people will think it looks great.

  • Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently?

  • NixOS is amazing, but it's also got a crazy learning curve. Once you grok it though, it really changes the way you configure your computer.

    Fedora is always my favorite big name distro, they're constantly pushing the envelope and adopting new features that need some stability and exposure to mature.

  • [Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TV

  • The IDF is a military force actively engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide. Israel itself is a colonist state that only exists thanks to constant violence threatened and perpetrated by its military and the US. It is not in any way antisemitic to criticize these entities up to and including advocating for their dissolution. Anyone who takes this valid criticism and turns it into "Jews Bad" is either incapable of understanding the complexity of the issues here, is a bad faith actual anti-Semite looking for an excuse, or has fallen for the ubiquitous state propaganda that has been conditioning this exact response.

    States and militaries are not culture. Nationalism is not identity. Fascism must be dismantled whatever form it takes.

  • “Thousands of Giant Eggs Found” in Underwater Volcano

  • Yeah the whole article including the headline -- "terrifying"?? -- is 98% slop. Depressing.

  • North Carolina couple sits in jail grieving their 7-year-old son who was hit by a car. They are charged with child abuse and manslaughter for letting him walk two blocks alone.

  • The kid wasn't even alone, he was accompanied by his 10-year-old brother.

  • AMERICAN FREEDOM!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅

  • For downvoters: China has no global "social credit system". There was one medium-small city that implemented what we imagine for a bit (though with the harshest punishments being things like inability to purchase luxury train tickets, not imprisonment like the propaganda says), but abandoned the project. There is a "social credit" or "public trust" system that has pretty wide adoption, but in almost diametric opposition to the Western propaganda, it's not for keeping tabs on citizens, but rather government officials and contractors, to ensure interagency knowledge of any impropriety. I.E. precisely the sort of system that would help prevent a cadre of hacks and conmen from infiltrating government agencies and abusing them for personal gain.

  • To people who make fun of us poor people: I'm done listening to you. Next time any of you say 'stop being poor' or any other iteration, you're getting blocked

  • You're getting this on Lemmy? I would guess that a majority of those are tongue-in-cheek. "Get a job" is definitely something that gets said unironically by assholes, and maybe "stop being poor" if they're really trying to make you feel like shit, but the latter and especially any mention of bootstraps are nearly ubiquitously used as shorthand satire these days, double especially in any even vaguely left-leaning spaces.

  • What are the most expensive board games? (Only base editions)

  • Kingdom Death: Monster 1.6 is listed as $400 retail.

  • What are your favorite games that you never see mentioned anywhere?

  • Nice, came here to mention Sacrifice! A remake would go so hard, but I don't think it'll ever happen.

    TLJ is also solid.

  • What's a good instance to be on at the moment?

  • Yeah I've been very happy here. Despite a reputation as a "tankie instance" I find that we mostly just don't put up with fascists which is sick imo.

  • The Terminal Question

  • Umm, what I said: the updates happen faster. If you have a GPU maybe you should try it?

  • The Terminal Question

  • If you're on a high-refresh display, the GPU acceleration allows for much faster updates. Makes it feel much smoother. It's of course not needed, but neither is a lot of stuff we do.

  • The Terminal Question

  • Uhh, switching terminals is nothing like distro-hopping, that's a ridiculous analogy. You might need to configure the new terminal, but that's it, and there's no cost or conflict.

  • The Terminal Question

  • I love foot. The only caveat is that it's only for Wayland (no X support).
