Ah that definitely makes sense. I think by the time I was experimenting with distros, things had probably moved on a bit. I can say from experience that using Arch just requires the ability to read, really. But it was probably more hardcore in its earlier days when the wiki wasn’t as well formed yet.

Where did this stereotype actually come from? I’m genuinely curious. Because Windows users wouldn’t know Arch from Ubuntu and to them, all Linux users are “I use Linux btw” types. And I don’t think I’ve seen Arch users just randomly telling people they use Arch in Linux spaces. But it must’ve come from somewhere.

Yeah, thankfully whenever I saw a thumbnail of some idiot doing YouTuber face, I always just assumed that it would be “phone Shrek at 3am” type nonsense. Those thumbnails are something that could only attract people who have already been indoctrinated into brain rot because to me, they’re probably the reason I won’t ever watch your video.
My YouTube feed is basically just music at this point.

The way I try and look at it when I’m starting to go on a downward spiral about the life I’ve wasted, is that I remind myself that the first ~20 years of my life weren’t even my own. I was born, then I was a toddler crapping in my nappy, then I went to school where I had to put on a uniform and listen to bells and teachers all day.
So basically, even though I’m 40, half of that wasn’t even my own life anyway. It was spent playing a role for the sake of others. And considering that I live in a socially conservative shit hole, it’s no wonder that I took so long to find myself once I was out of school. Or that it had to come from solitude and not from any awareness or encouragement from peers.
All things considered, it could be worse. I could’ve become an honorary boomer that yells at the kids to get off the lawn, in between scrolling conspiracy theories about Jewish space lazers and litter boxes in schools. But I didn’t and now I hopefully have another 40 years still left to live authentically.

on There arule way better books out there in c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 22 Aug 2026
I’ve had Ursula Le Guin’s books on my list for a while now, personally. Although the impression that I get is that Le Guin is in her own tier that others should be compared to, up there with Tolkien with Anne Rice.
Haven’t read any of the books in that screenshot myself but I was assuming they’re all that Potter / Narnia / Alice kind of idea of a chosen one in a magical land, mostly for kids and young adults.

It’s been a while but for me personally, the number one thing that saves your ass in event of failure is installing both the up to date and the LTS kernel. If you fail to boot, it’s gonna have something to do with a kernel update 90% of the time, in which case you just boot with the LTS kernel. Just about anything else can be fixed either while you’re up and running, or with a live distro installed on a USB.

Came across this yesterday. Haven’t read any of these but here’s a small list for both kids and adults, courtesy of sophiebeerdraws.

Yeah it couldn’t be clearer that she’s the UK wing of the same politics that the other billionaires like Musk and Thiel are pushing. Must be something that they all cooked up together on Epstein’s island.

on it's both wild and awesome that people actually want to be so masc in c/transmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 18 Aug 2026
Honestly I’m sure it’s still shit to have people / bots coming along to try and bring you down, even if they get it wrong and you can have a laugh about it afterwards. But these people’s dumb comments will usually get posted for everyone to laugh at the dumb bigots who can “always tell”.
I really can’t speak for someone else’s feelings but that sounds like a kind of ewwphoria to me. Turning attempts at bigotry into a celebration.
Even the ones who aren’t bots just rarely think of trans mascs
Yep. It’s all rooted in a type of misogyny. I think 95% of the anti trans crowd are men who think washing their own asses is gay, and who are absolutely terrified of finding a trans woman attractive. To the point that half the time now, they can’t interact with any women without trying to transvestigate or some shit.

Personally I don’t think there’s much to ‘get’. They don’t want to be men, they are men. And that doesn’t have to mean toxic and sexist and a bigot. Not all men lol.
Side note: something funny I’ve noticed is that transmascs get the exact same “you’ll never be a woman” / “you’ll always be man” comments from people on mainstream social media. Makes it really look like it’s actually all just bots getting triggered by the word “trans”. But they’ve only been programmed to shit on trans women, so all they do when it comes to trans men is give them affirmation.

I don’t trust banking apps
Yeah, even banks are something that’s forced onto us, that you actually just can’t live without in the current system. I also tried fighting it for a bit but the bank I’m with is trying to eliminate ATMs and making it really difficult to do online banking the old school way. And afaik, other banks are trying to do the same now. Just a matter of time before a vanilla smartphone is as much of a requirement as a bank account itself.
I spent a long time typing that last paragraph and debating about whether or not to include it in this comment
Yeah I was honestly just making a joke about the chic thing. It’s definitely not even close to mainstream. I really love your passion for this though lol. And I agree with the cause. Glad you stuck it out.

It’s so easy these days. Either when I was younger and dumber, I just didn’t notice reactions from people. But these days all you need to do is wear a purple hoodie or something, and you start noticing pearls being clutched by christians and broccoli haired Clavicle Boy fans when you walk by.

Nah it’s really not convenient when it comes to things like banking apps that get fussy about how customised your phone is. It’s fine most of the time but you’re going to be running into issues at inconvenient times when you don’t really have the time to sit and play. Although I’m also talking a couple of years ago now, chances are things have improved.

Yeah you’re basically breaking everything. I did this before it was chic when I had a Nokia phone running Opera Mini lmao.

I tried it for a while. I got caught up in the ‘privacy’ crowd on Reddit and went all out for a bit. Even de-googled my Android phone at the time. It is inconvenient as fuck. And you’re going to be spending more time tinkering and looking for workarounds and alternate software than actually ever getting anything done. All just to stop an advertising company from detecting what you clicked on, or for the website owner to never get any telemetry.

on Laura Fryer - HR is killing Games in c/games@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
Can someone explain to me how games are “dying”? I see this sentiment a lot and I can only assume that the people who say this are the same people who think that their personal inability to scroll past the Netflix show with a gay character and choose one of the hundreds of shows that don’t, is a conspiracy theory to erase white cisgender christians.
Because there’s any endless wealth of good games around, especially in the indie scene. But if you’re an own face hammering, piss drinking conservative that hates anything and everything, I can see how you would be having a hard time.
It’s just an ongoing joke in the Sonic fandom, not even sure where it originally came from. From what I’ve picked up, Sonic is like Fallout New Vegas or Arch Linux in that there’s a lot of trans people in the fandom for some reason or another, enough for it to be a bit of an in joke.
