France doesn’t. Paris does.

Yeah, the only odd thing is installing the signing key, but it’s there for a good reason.

That said, it’s not a great user experience, especially if you start stacking a lot of ppa’s.

Why would I care if you care what foreign people do?

Most of the xorg “mistakes” are design choices in the x11 protocol and have been there since some MIT undergrad smoked too much ganja over Christmas break 1986 and wrote the implementation that became the de facto standard.

You sound like a hipster taking about music.

So I don’t see how mint is a boomer OS

It’s what I put on my dad’s laptop, so in his case it’s literally BoomerOS.

Day old account posting spam? Inconceivable!

Right? Just the other day some idiot posted a “my wife sucks” meme, and they were all very upset I pointed them to c/arethestraightsok.

Time to leave this shit behind.

This is the contempt I’m talking about.

The problem is not GP’s window manager/desktop environment. It’s just that you fundamentally despise your readers.

I’m sure there is some worthwhile content in there, but I couldn’t discern it through your palpable contempt for the reader.

I’m going to start this article off by saying that you don’t have to be born in the boomer generation to be a boomer. You can be a boomer by acting like one. Hate new stuff? boomer. Run a desktop from the naughties? Boomer

Why even bother having words at all if we’re going to redefine them for clickbait?

We hating on salt and lemon juice now?

What’s next, hating on butter and flour?

But not odorless.

I tend to use sea salt, but that reeks of iodine all by its natural self.

What if I told you there are laptops out there with stellar battery life, with power management that actually works, that come with an actual Unix derived operating system that drop you into a zsh out of the box at the touch of a button without installing anything?

There are better options out there than widows if you are looking for a good out of the box mobile experience. Just saying.

I think in your case you’re definitely banning queerphobia/bigotry, which I hope most people agree is radically different from banning dissenting opinions.

It’s a bit more than that. In order to enable people to just hang out and relax and be themselves, you have to make sure they are never put in a position to justify their existence.
You have to go in pretty blunt and nip stuff in the bud. That means banning not just bigotry, but a whole swath of topics and rhetoric that inevitably lead to “those kinds of discussions”.

This in turn leads to reactions like the other reply. “I was just asking questions”, “I was just explaining a point of view I don’t agree with”, “but you have to see it from their side”. Yes. Silly questions that have been asked many times before. We know that point of view, we don’t need you to explain it. No, we don’t have to see it from their side. Not here. Not now.

Don’t bring that negativity in here. Just leave us and let us enjoy our silly memes in peace.

Less out-and-out manosphere garbage than on Reddit, but man oh man have I seen some real incel adjacent shit pop up from time to time on asklemmy and nostupidquestions.

And they stay up too, because we’re too small to moderate effectively around the clock.

That was my experience on blahaj. I’d never been banned from a community, let alone one I’ve been an ally to before. Such a pure echo chamber that even discussing why the outside world holds the views they have, even without expressing agreement, gets you labeled a transphobe.

That’s exactly what I described above right? Queer people made a space where they can be themselves without having to justify their existence. You could not manage to behave in such space. Ergo, you were removed.

Honestly, it soured me on lemmy as a whole since that was the content I had been enjoying the most.

You spend zero time familiarizing yourself with the mores of the community you were frequenting. And afterward, even now, you make it all about you and your experience.

You can see how that was never going to end well right?

You’re not an “ally”. Whatever that even means.

It really depends. If I run a queer friendly space, then part of being queer friendly is not putting people in the position to have to defend their existence every time they log in. Which means that anything I can see that even smells off gets removed immediately. If you come and whine about it instead of giving me a clear signal you understood, you’re getting banned.

Is it an echo chamber?
I don’t know. Probably.

Would I run it any other way?
Fuck no.

Who was pretty knowledgeable about biology and contributed a lot before he developed a serious case of Reddit brain.

You have not understood anything I wrote.
