TSG_Asmodeus (he, him)

but it’s not a great triumph of the left wing. It’s a bare minimum.

You’re shifting goalposts. You said “Yeah. I respect the Republicans for actually getting shit done, as evil as their goals are.” and then claimed democrats don’t get anything done.

Also here are some things the Democrats did; and I say this as a Canadian:

• Signing the 19th Amendment into law (for non Americans, this gave women the ability to vote)

• Social Security

• Medicaid

• National Industrial Recovery Act (8 hour work day, min wage, right to collective bargaining, paid overtime)

• Unemployment Benefits

• Civil Rights Act

• Voting Rights Act

• Fair Labor Standards Act (this was the end of Child Labour)

• F.E.M.A.

• Literally creating the Departments of Education, and Energy

• Family and Medical Leave Act

• National Voter Registration Act

And those are just the larger ones I thought of offhand, I’m sure there are more. Yet I’m also pretty sure most americans would agree that things like women voting, social security, medicaid, workers rights, civil rights, voting rights, ending child labour, etc, are pretty important things that were passed into law.

I guess it’s true what they say, being good is something anyone can do, but being evil requires actually being smart and driven.

Which sociopath told you this? I’ve never heard that saying in my entire life.

The Obama administration got the ACA passed, I don’t know that I’d call that ‘not getting shit done.’

Absolutely, I just meant that the inhuman monster who was killed wasn’t bourgeoisie, he was an aristocrat. These are rich families that stay rich by exploiting the poor and (few remaining) bourgeoisie.

In end stage capitalism you’re oligarchy, poor, or soon to be one of the two.

Just a reminder but the bourgeoisie are the “middle class”, and that the CEO who was killed is part of a capitalist oligopoly.

The bourgeoisie haven’t been targeted here, an aristocrat has.

I’m willing to let him risk it.

Why are you lying so much? Were you never thought to never lie?

I’m just going to assume this is a bot at this point.

You know Windows is exactly the same right?

Cool whataboutism; I was told ‘you never need the command line’ and then the installation instructions for Mint have you using the command line. Plus you regularly need it in Linux, and you don’t in Windows. That’s the point.

Windows is just too difficult for normies to use. All that command line stuff, PowerShell, registry stuff.

Do you actually think, sigh, ‘normies’ use the command line, powershell, or registry in Windows? The whole point is you can use it but don’t have to. On linux you’re forced to use it at times.

I’ve been really pissing off the libs since they lost the US election by being insufferable

(Coming from the left)

Ultimately, I don’t think it’s acknowledged enough that it requires a vast amount of privilege to have the time and energy to devote to such endeavors such as learning how Linux, the command line, and Computer Systems more broadly, work.

This is an incredibly thoughtful and well said point, thank you for making it. It’s important to remember to empathize with users because we didn’t all start in the same place, or have the same time or money, and so on. The comments about the privilege to have time and energy to learn it are spot on.

So again, thank you :)

Here’s step four of Mint’s installation guide:

Integrity check

To check the integrity of your local ISO file, generate its SHA256 sum and compare it with the sum present in sha256sum.txt.

sha256sum -b yourfile.iso

Then we get this:

you still have to have a decent familiarity with the command line

I think this is, for most people I’ve spoken with (including coders in games, my kids, etc) the major issue – they don’t want to have to use the command line for things. It’s fine if you can, but that alone is a massive wall for some people. People are exhausted right now, and having to learn a variety of command line prompts instead of just clicking on icons is too much for some people. That can be argued till you’re red in the face, but I think a major reason so many people bounce off linux, myself included, is that it’s not ‘as easy as windows.’ We need to stop telling people it is, because that means they won’t try again later.

I think the storytelling alone it manages to get across makes it top 3.

That said I always liked this one:

Swords Bard/Swashbuckler Rogue, I’m finally going to be able to make my favourite swordsman.

I am so psyched for Swashbuckler, oh man.

Man this is, I am pretty sure, the most irony laden post I’ve seen on Lemmy.

Users of Lemmy resort to downvoting when they can’t defend their arguments.

You got absolutely obliterated because you posted two links to ‘articles,’ one of which is just some guys blog, and then refused to defend anything the articles said.

Also you don’t ‘defend’ a counter argument. You started the argument, offered a blog as ‘proof’ of an issue, when pressed on what the blog said you backed down and refused to defend it, and you just accuse everyone around of you of not having independent thought.

It is a fact that humans are more eager to show their disapproval than approval for something, like in restaurant reviews, where the only people who bother to leave a review are those with bad experiences.

YOU LITERALLY DID THIS. A guy said ‘The Godot Engine is getting better every day.’ in a post about Microsoft screwing up an app and you, yes, you started complaining about the team behind the engine! You’re like the living embodiment of irony, hahahahahaha

🤘 666 minutes, that’s metal! 🤘

Kaboom is a regular poster on the conservative community on Lemmy and also an actual fascist. Is it really at all surprising they’re complaining about it?
