It’ll be a cold day in hell when AI-horny suits learn the lesson that people don’t want AI

which I don’t quite see as a goal the US should be striving towards.

You don’t see it as a goal the US should be striving towards, but I doubt any good and sane person (ie. people who aren’t conservatives) would see ICE kidnapping and murdering people as a goal to strive towards either, and yet…

Direct action Carol 💪

So your argument is that because less than 51% of the population uses computers for gaming, it’s “unfair” to point to problems people have with Linux and games?

If anything less people is good.

Maybe get off social media, then

Hey now that’s not fair.

Shooting Nazis is also acceptable

Which would sort of prove the point that TikTok isn’t the root of all evil

I’m not sure what your point is? 43% of 54% is still 23% of the population – is a quarter of Europeans aged 6-64 “a niche”?

Looks like the numbers are similar for the US: 64% of the population plays games, 45% of them using PCs: https://www.theesa.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/2025-Essential-Facts-Booklet-05-30-25-RGB.pdf

I wouldn’t call gaming a niche hobby at all – I know plenty of people who aren’t “technically-minded” in any way but who still play games on their computers and not just on mobile devices or consoles. 54% of Europeans aged 6-64 played games according to a 2024 poll, 43% of them on a PC – that’s a huge chunk of the population.

Not only did most Nazis and fascists not relent, they went on to found far right parties that survive in some form to this day – eg- Italy’s FdI is a direct descendant of the original fascist party.

99% of fascists are not redeemable. Leaving them alive is a mistake.

I’m not speaking from personal experience as such because I’ve been using Linux since the late 90’s, but I do know a bunch of people who haven’t had great experiences with Linux, mainly due to eg wanting to run games – which is fairly easy nowadays thanks to Proton but it’s still not as stupid simple as just installing a game in Windows – or driver problems (esp graphics)

Yeah this was exactly my point. There’s so many ways to disrupt elections in the US. In addition to what you mentioned, there’s also eg. tampering with voting machines (older hack but I doubt the current situation has vastly improved), or tampering with voter rolls.

This is not to say that the midterms will definitely not be free, but that y’all need to be extremely vigilant

Nazis were proud of being called Nazis. People still called them Nazis.

Yeah, pacifism only works if everyone is a pacifist. “People” like him aren’t.

A person can dream

Uh, the commercial products I use don’t contain ads, dunno what the hell you’re on about

Let’s not kid ourselves. Anybody who thinks that Linux is as user-friendly to the average user as eg. Windows or macOS is completely out of touch with how helpless the average user is

Yeah I was about to make this exact same comment. They want to see people suffer and die, that’s why they’re allowing all this to happen.

People need to stop pretending that the murders are some unfortunate side product

Well, assuming the midterms happen and are actually free of interference, neither of which is necessarily a given.
