I got into mostly posting rather that commenting because of the hostility of Linux evangelists / brigaders. -Posts can’t yield negative karma on reddit. My comment is typically in the form of the title or in the customization / creation of the meme.

Maybe you’re still thinking back to when it was new; there are some posts from today (or a matter of a couple hours) with 3 comments already. It’s funny how people are criticizing it when there’s some adjustment (getting the right audience / parcipation) to be done in the face of a brigading / evangelizing issue from people it’s not meant for. I didn’t bring a community, and I’m not going to recruit for here from the reddit subs.

It’s unlikely that anyone is going to come along and contribute anywhere near as much as I do. -I don’t see the problem with that. Progress is happening and we are continually on the trending lists. IMO it’s working.

I wish I could just mute it for them. -Apparently not an option.

" that community isn’t a community, it’s literally just one account hanging out by themselves."

Is it though? Here’s a screenshot from comfy@lemmy.ml showing 2 other contributors (and this isn’t chat; I’m not here to ‘hang out’).

It’s also new and trending. Even on Reddit’s r/linuxsucks, I was a prolific poster, and continue as such on r/desktoplinuxsucks.

Maybe just admit being butt-hurt or mute, because you aren’t the intended audience and it brings you discomfort. -Thanks

Dave Plumber is pretty damned objective.

Mariokart isn’t all that great by today’s standards though. The tracks look pretty and all (Tuxkart not so), but game-play wise Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed blows it away (and it’s even old).

Admittance of ‘all eyes on code’ being bullshit.

Or maybe stop treating it like a religion that needs converts and only appeals to conspiracy theorists in the long run when people realize the lies they were fed about it.

There are much better kart games out there like Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, or Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Tuxkart does have a lot of user created tracks and you can make your own, so there is somewhat a draw for that.

Wars are fought with propaganda. This war isn’t special.

VLC is heavily bloated with features you need a guide to use (may as well use a command line tool if you need to refer to a guide every time). It crashes (or did about 2 years ago) some of our Linux systems. MPV spanks the piss out of it.

Awesome for being a free tool, but it pales in comparison to Photoshop.

I wouldn’t know any differences, as I wasn’t using Linux back when sxiv stopped being developed.

DWM, Newsboat, MPV, NSXIV

Block the bootloader from updating, use LTS kernel for stability. Checking Arch’s page didn’t work for me, btw. I ended up switching to Fedora because I was hit by every breakage (4 in a row), LTS kernel didn’t work with my ethernet, and ethernet broke after an update. -Some people have great luck and some don’t.

Carnac the Magnificent!

Same way you’d learn to use your smartphone. -Why do we see this stupid question constantly?

As much as I hate Go ogle, it is up to us to choose. -Sad part is all but Yandex is burying the same information as Go ogle it seems.

A win-win.

Youtube shadow banned raw footage and promoted heavily narrated and edited clips of that footage. -Directly responsible for riots and civil unrest. While I agree about the anti-vax nonsense; youtube / google need to be exposed for what they are doing.

That didn’t stop the circle-jerking, romanticism, and ignorance of the sub’s participants, or the ridiculous and inordinate amount of positive and negative karma coming from subs about weevils, for example. Easy karma just for posting ‘aww lawd, here we go again’ in r/bedbugs. Post a pic of a steak in r/steaks with ‘cast iron’ and ‘reverse sear’ and get easy karma too. - Post the same steak or even a much better one with ‘tri-clad / air fryer’ and get nothing. -First-hand experience with a crappy AI generated steak and one I put in an air fryer for 25 minutes at 180F before finishing in a tri-clad. -Edge to edge medium looking better than 99% of theirs. -lol. (The karma system is shit)
