I’m on Mint with an RTX 3060ti and Ryzen 5. Pretty much everything “just worked” except for the proprietary software for rebinding my mouse and gaming controller. I found alternative software for the mouse (Logitech g300s) but I’m still having difficulty with the controller (8bitdo Ultimate 2).

poorly uneducated

Gimp refers to sexual exploitation.

No, it doesn’t.

Libreoffice only tells geeks exactly what the product is.

The target market is primarily geeks.

no one can pronounce it.

Sounds like your coworkers should expand their horizons. Libre is a common word in (at least) 2 widely spoken languages.

Being quick and catchy is a pretty low bar.

Not when you’re naming a product. You think its hard to get people to use Lemmy, imagine trying to sell them on “Federated Link Aggregater Website.”

It sounds silly in conversation.

As does Google, Instagram, and Tiktok but they at least managed to pick silly sounding names that don’t sound like a child trying to describe a loose bowel movement.

Gimp is a funny acronym that explains exactly what the software does. Libreoffice also tells you exactly what the product is. Lemmy is quick, catchy, easy to remember, and has a story behind it. Apache is… pretty bad.

Ploopy is literally “poopy” with an extra letter.

After reading up it sounds like a decent product but they should definitely consider rebranding.

I’ve got to say “Ploopy” is one of the absolute worst names I’ve ever seen. Before I even saw the picture, I thought “I bet it looks like shit.”

I saw a Lemmy mod mistake an obvious A Modest Proposal reference for a serious call to start eating children.

The refurbished pixel 8 I bought cost a fraction of what I’d have paid for a new phone and the installation took 5 minutes.

It was incredibly easy to do and a refurbished pixel 8 is way cheaper than a new phone.

Now powered by Copilot!

Less good

Ok but only if you live longer than me.

The problem, besides that just being gross, is that hosting csam is a very serious crime in most places. Leaving that unmoderated can very easily end with alphabet agencies from around the world shutting down lemmy instances.

Yeah sure its all fun and games until people start posting csam.

This except I use a laptop running linux mint.

They made a really shitty situation (not owning your games) a little less shitty.

Did they? Sounds to me like they just added extra steps and a physical item that locks you out of your game when you lose it.

Used the n-word on stream, promoted alt-right content, and some other racist shit… Google it for details.

but would there be a patch for those cases?

Considering this is Nintendo, the patch would probably cost $20.

That’s so bad that I’m kind of impressed.

After finishing the first episode of the show, I turned off the television and spent 20 minutes explaining why I refused to watch another second of it to my wife.
