Got very excited

You can, and do.

It helps set the bar, it is a tool for determining how to assess what level of imbalance is reasonable.

It’s not the only tool, nor an I arguing for it to be.

Nothing about gender wars here.

Just because Facebook is shit, doesn’t make this any better.

I was making the point, that despite the fact that this is mildly ok. The test for anything that gives one group power over another, is to switch the groups.

If it’s still reasonable, than it is probably OK to keep it. If however it seems wrong after the switch, the bar to keep the power imbalance should be very high.

Agreed, but it is worse the way I put it…

Change the target to any other group and the outrage would be 100-10000 fold bigger.

Try it out, instead of Women rating men, try subbing in various minority groups or races.

Bonus points for the most offensive combinations…

e.g. Russians rating Ukrainians in your area…it can get pretty bad…I can think of many worse combos.

I use Mint, with little customization.

Mint basically gets out of my way, I care about the ability to get my work done.

I also prefer the windows paradigm rather than the Mac paradigm. IMHO Mint does it better than windows now.

I run mint 22.1 and have a 9070xt.

I used mainline to install kernel 6.14, works flawlessly.

Mint Cinnamon.

It’s easy, stable and gets out of my way.

I haven’t seen the need to dostro hop for years.

Just came here to say this.

The suggested videos are terrible.

Was a Ubuntu user from 9.10 until 20.04; snap shittyness caused me to hop around for a while. Settled on Mint a few years ago.

It’s stable, gets out of my way and lets me get my work done.

Yes tilt

I just added it to fdroid… So that is nice

So I installed futo, I’m typing this edit using it.

The swiping is a little more precise, requiring a bit more precision on my part.

Seems google is trying to keep file sync on android for only themselves.

Syncthing no longer developing for Android.

No resolution from back and forth with Google, play store policies and lack of developers.

Not really, i first used Linux in 2001 or 3… It’s been some time. I think it was fedora 1. I was 21/3.

First installed Linux in 2008, Ubuntu 8.04 and started daily driving Ubuntu 10.04 in late 2010.

Since then I’ve used a lot of different distros, I’m now running mint.

In saying that, my son has only had Linux (and Chromebooks at school), I got him to help install his own system, he was 7 at the time.

I think at this point XKCD should be a TLD.

I would join lemmy.xkcd in a heartbeat.

I only have one monitor so I didn’t have this issue when I upgraded my GPU a few weeks ago.

Shutdown -> remove/install GPU -> startup #JustWorks

In fairness, I did have to update to the latest kernel (6.14) to get all of the features of the GPU working.

A few years ago, I installed mint 21.1 on my mum’s old NUC; a 2013 model; was running Win7.

I said, it doesn’t meet the minimum for Win10, so it was either buy something new or try Linux.

Just got back from visiting them, I updated it to 21.3, still running fine. It still does everything they need.

Mum even said, “it always just works”. A great endorsement, as a non-technical user mum needs a no fuss distro, mint works so well in this regard.

I started on Ubuntu, tried 8.04 and went back to windows XP, tried 10.04 and stayed.

20.04 was my last Ubuntu, bounced around for a while, but I have settled on Mint. Been running it for 3 years now.

Mint isn’t too fancy, it is just there and lets me get my work done, very much the way Ubuntu used to be.

I’m running the 6.14.2 kernel, to get the latest drivers for my RX 9070, I’m playing around with local AI… Mint isn’t fancy, but you can do almost anything you want.

I tried Deepseek Coder 33b; it runs at around 2 words/second which is really slow.

Deepseek Coder V2 16b; seems to run as fast Gemma3
