By the time I retire it’ll probably be an omnidirectional treadmill for VR gaming

Just don’t get caught

Just use a different instance

Hopefully the patent for SoM’s nemesis system won’t be enforced now

Nobody thinks it is, but privacy-interested peope are more likely to congregate on an open and decentralized playform not controlled by the privacy-invading corpo megaghouls

That’s very exciting. Once HDR in games is enabled I hope to try dual booting (probably still need windows for VR unfortunately)

If the miniscule effort of signing up for a platform keeps someone away, they probably wouldn’t be a good community member anyway.

HDR was solved?

I set up my dad’s driverless network printer on linux the other day with ease. And it’s not even a newish printer. This problem was solved long ago

Just switched from windows to arch with KDE Plasma on my laptop and I have been experiencing so much joy playing with all the wonderful FOSS I never even knew about

no

I learned so much from just going wiki-diving at every step of the installation and post-installation

lol

It’s not tongue in cheek. You described veganism as a dietary preference, but it is an ethical belief and practice. Keeping silent in the face of unethical behavior is normally seen as cowardly or, at the least, not a general positive. If you came upon a person kicking a child, you would likely want to intervene, not merely think to yourself that you wouldn’t do the same.

Here’s a short medium post that sums it up decently, quoted for your convenience:

Look through the comments of the latest Facebook post that has aroused the ire of non-vegans and you’re bound to see the following:

‘I don’t care if you’re vegan, just respect my choice not to be vegan.’

‘How come a vegan gets mad if you serve them meat but won’t serve you meat.’

Stop telling other people how to eat!

These reactions to the promotion of veganism and vegan food products would make complete sense if veganism were a dietary preference, akin to trying not to consume sugar or not liking pickles. But veganism is an ethical stance against the commodity status of animals. Following a vegan diet results when you follow this philosophy.

When you understand the vegan philosophy, the idea of respecting someone’s choice to needlessly consume animal products no longer makes sense. Advocating that people stop using animals to the greatest extent possible is the ethical thing to do, and condoning animal use immoral. Serving non-vegan food to a vegan is rude but serving vegan food to a non-vegan is acceptable because, while a vegan has a moral conviction against eating animals, a non-vegan doesn’t believe that eating a meal without animal products is unethical. They’ve likely eaten Oreos or peanut butter on toast many times.

I have the same advice for you as I have for vegans: let people eat what they want to eat, mind your business, and keep your preferences to yourself unless you’re asked.

It seems you fundamentally misunderstand what veganism is

I installed cosmic the other day. Uninstalled it like 5 minutes later but I enjoyed its vibe. I am excited to see it come out of alpha

a goot respite from doomerism

Does hexbear run two instances or is that a mistake?
