yeah, but there’s a difference between feeling weird and being incorrect

they have half a point in that its typically only applied to people when a gender is unknown or you are referring to a group. that falls apart pretty quick though because unknown gender is barely any different from someone choosing not to identify with one. also, half a point is no good in the first place.

the best distro is the distro you like most out of the ones that work for whatever it is you do on your pc

at least it’ll be people who listen to users instead of everything being dominated by gnome and being forced to obey gnome’s insane opinions

hey jackass, the reason food farmers have a harder time making a profit than ones who make wine is because rich people pay a ton for wine as a status symbol while actively making things worse for most farmers by forcing them to sell to massive companies that dont pay them

it probably does, but it isnt considered a ‘real’ distro since it isnt suitable for non-development use (nor is it meant to be). its a very common misconception about KDE neon to think that since it’s the KDE branded one it must be the best general-purpose KDE distro.

thats why they are making KDE Linux. KDE Linux is going to be what a lot of people mistakenly take neon to be while also fulfilling the role of ‘development standard implementation/example implementation for distros to reference’ much better.

KDE neon is really only a development platform, and it is barely maintained.

i said intended to be funny. for example, the 67 meme is not funny. it is intended to be funny though, and like most new memes recently is intended to be funny mainly by referencing how it otherwise isn’t funny. theres a guy on yt shorts (I think the channel is etymologynerd or smth similar) who explains it a lot better.

there are also memes (meaning the kind intended to be funny on the internet in this case) which dont use images at all but are just a recurring reference or something like that. it is largely the same idea as the original meaning of the term but on the internet it generally refers to things that are intended to be funny (in recent years, usually through self-reference as a result of algorithm-based social media).

if you actually read the comment, I didnt say that anything was not a meme. what I said was that the person I was replying to was ignoring the other meaning of the word which, because of context, is clearly the relevant meaning in this case.

you can do exactly what you’re talking about, you just didnt bother to look it up. it is done the way it is because it is intuitive to organize things that way and it is a good way to make the actual organization of data on a storage device human readable. most people have no use for organizing things the way you are talking about 90% of the time, bit because usecases do exist where it is helpful it has always been possible to do that on linux. depending on the apps you use it may not be exposed graphically, but it can be done.

i think fedora is a pretty good distro. there are some things they need to work on (like their refusal to ship proprietary stuff how you’d expect and the existence of fedora flatpak) but overall I think they are a much better distro than they get credit for.

hopefully someone steps up, its a really good resource.

if you play Roblox (I do sometimes for nostalgia or to mess with some free nonsense with friends) sober is really good. it complains about Wayland but works perfectly.

the word meme gained a second definition on the internet, which is similar to the first but focused on specifically things intended to be funny. because context is a part of language whether you like it or not, that meaning is the one that is being used any time you see the word on the internet unless otherwise specified or unless the context in which you’re seeing it is one where the other is more appropriate (like a discussion about linguistics or the spread of ideas).

there are a couple microblogmemes communities and whitepeopletwitter (and similar) communities, but the ones on .world have terrible moderation.

i hate that microblogmemes allows people to just post anything from any microblog platform. they always justify it with “well a meme is actually just a self-replicating idea” which is technically true, but it ignores the meaning the term ‘meme’ has on the internet, which is basically just an image based joke that plays off of internet culture in general, typically including previous memes. in the context of a scientific field like linguistics or phycology, the first definition makes more sense. in the context of an internet group with no scientific interest, the second is obviously correct. also they always use that excuse when they are posting US politics instead of memes, which is bullshit because there are communities for politics and political memes. dont make off-topic posts, go post it in a community where it is relevant.

can I drink an ungodly amount of tea instead?

my friends do shit like that all the time like you were just saying “windows does stupid thing” and all I said was “linux does this instead they should be doing that on windows” and immediately the neckbeard with fedora gifs start flying
