I've tried what popOS had around 6 months ago, and it wasn't what I wanted. I needed to manually launch apps with the GPU. I want it to work like it does in windows where when the igpu gets too much load it dynamically switches to the dgpu.

It's the same in Russian. "Людоед" which is literally "people-eater" is the more common word.

IMO threads should be defederated on principle. Having a massive and evil corporation like Facebook here goes completely against the spirit of the protocol.

I would agree, clothes have never really affected me. I did a 150 km ride around my city wearing jorts and a wind breaker.

I am forced to use instagram, because that's all anyone my age uses to communicate. I'm in the process of setting up matrix bridge so that I can be done with that app.

This is not relevant, but I've been looking for a chair like this forever. Does anyone have any idea what it's called, or where I would find it?

I was recently on a group hike with a university club, and an Austrian exchange student kept talking about how good life in Austria is. He attends university for free, lives in a vibrant city with great public transit, and with affordable housing.

My city has unaffordable housing, shit transit, and an inept local government. We are staking our future on oil prices constantly going up. The last time oil prices dipped was catastrophic, with mass layoffs and unemployment in nearly every sector.

On top of this we are being hit extra hard by climate change. Last summer I couldn't go outside because of wildfire smoke, and this year is going to be even worse. Every year there's less and less water, to the point where year round drought seems like an inevitability. Our politicians are climate change deniers. The people who elect them couldn't care less, and cry about any measures taken to mitigate it's effects.

I don't want to be stuck paying $2000 a month for a studio apartment as the climate around me slowly degrades, and my politicians try their best to turn us into America.

A sizeable fraction of the students I've talked to about this has or is playing around with the idea of leaving. Austria is just the first country that came to mind, but I would take almost any EU country if the opportunity was offered.

What a great way to prostletize, I'm sure we'll get tons of people to try veganism by circle jerking about how moral we are.

Well yeah, I don't. I'm not gonna fool myself or come up with cope to justify it, you're exactly right. I wouldn't eat a human or like a chimp, but I eat pork, so there's clearly a line that I draw somewhere.

Why did you editorialize the headline from "atrocities" to "resistance"?

[-] Kostyeah@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I think that's already a feature. If I press and hold on a comment it gets minimized.

I don't like it. It's closed source and we have no idea what Zuck is doing behind the scenes. If it was open source I would trust it a lot more readily, but there's 0 chance of that ever happening.
