Reminds me of a thread on Reddit of photos of Israeli missiles stuck in civilian buildings (apartment blocks). People asking where it was from and not one comment stating it was a Syrian city and where the missiles came from.
Treat everything you see as unconfirmed, no mater if it is for or against your beliefs. Manipulation is everywhere.
For Arch, I’d go with something like EndeavorOS. The installation is easy for someone who knows what a file system or software repository is and I absolutely loved that you can install a bare bones system: just the desktop and almost no apps and you can go from there and install what you like (I wish fedora offered this).
I ended up not using Arch/Endeavor because of rolling releases and I found the AUR dangerous. I mean, its not dangerous, but anyone can put anything on there and its your job (and the communities) to make sure its good. I think a “build all the software yourself” is a great philosophy, but it only fits computer geeks (and I mean this in a good way). We cant all be Richard Stallman. I think for somethings, I can accept an “arbiter of software” who curates what gets on the repo and what doesn’t and that its shared via compiled binaries instead of code.
Fedora’s philosophy is free software only. So vanilla Fedora ships with FOSS only. Imo, they’re really good at this, but I personally couldn’t live with that. The community maintained fusion repository is essential because of Nvidia drivers and full ffmpeg. Steam is in a separate non-free repo as well.
Other than than tidbit, Fedora is easy to install, well maintained, has a large community and wide third party support (as in software devs often build “native fedora” binaries available on their repo).
I prefer it to any other Fedora based distro, but for the reason above, it may not be best suited for the average lemming.
Its only office.
Makes me uncomfortable looking at her. She needs to eat.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS?English
33·6 days agoNot all data is equal. I backup things i absolutely can not lose and yolo everything else. My love for this hobby does not extend to buying racks of hard drives.
Any time I see her, I immediately think of that time she threw her massive dong on the table. For some reason, this video is burned into my brain.

Dude, you’re not gonna believe this but hear me out. You are high right now. This isn’t real. Lemmy isn’t real. You ate some shrooms and have been high for what may feel like a year now. Its not been a year. You’re in your room on your bed. Its 10PM. Its July 2025.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products, making Amazon richerEnglish
6·8 days agoI figured as such when I noticed, on multiple occasions, prices for random products would just suddenly change, multiple times a week for different people I knew. And also how seemingly multiple different pages for the same product were available with a word switched here and there… friends got product page 1, I got product page 2. Same product different price. Amazon always seemed shady to me and was kinda surprised it was always the go to online store for people.
I could never trust a price on amazon, even though they were always almost always cheaper than local alternatives.
It’s not that bad. You’re generally not aware of what you’re doing for the first 10 years. Then study for the next 10. Then, if you work to live and not live to work, you might get something out of life. Anything post work, I kinda see as a bonus, not a goal. Predisposed medical conditions may mean you aren’t seeing those years anyway. Actually… it may be that bad lol.
Just don’t take it that seriously. Live till you die.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think about the doc Zeitgeist (2007)
13·8 days agoLoved it at 15. Now I know better.
I think it got a few things right, but its not a film I’d be proud of liking today.
Lol no. They’ll just hire some people to do it like they always have.
Create a fucked up world where a small handful of people control every resource. Everyone else has nothing. Give a few people a little more and they’ll kill for it. Its never going to be robots, we’ll be killing and be killed by our own kind.
Don’t most countries offer subsidies for photovoltaics? Put solar on your roof and your energy bill goes down. That’s the most direct government investment I can think of that will effect you directly.
Other than that, its supply and demand. The government building huge solar arrays wont bring your bill down if the demand for energy keeps rising. They’d need to build more production than there is demand.
Realistically, I don’t think anyone would come after you anyway. It is de facto legal. I’d say in the name of pragmatism, we don’t really need a legal framework around it.
These are real units.
One is 6 minutes, 5 seconds and the other is 5 minutes, 2 seconds.

Games@lemmy.world•‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefrontEnglish
3·15 days agoThere are valid use cases for non owners, but I think they don’t outweigh the cost. Sometimes you have to sacrifice something and this is something I could live with.

Games@lemmy.world•‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefrontEnglish
5·16 days agoI clicked a random thread and it looks like a lot of posters don’t even own the game. I’ve seen this a lot of times, people flaming and trolling on a game’s forum don’t even own the game. Thought the simplest fix would be to just not let them post and restrict game forums to those who bought it.





Some less obvious ones I loved were Severance and Fargo.
