Sadly the new one is all I have memories of

Please no

Because there are other things to talk about, and it’s depressing and not something the average citizen can really control on their own.

I really don’t care about whatever new crime against humanity they’re doing next, I just want to see Cities: Skylines content, or at least some mildly interesting discussions.

Doesn’t sound too different from Lemmy, except most users are radical left AND radical Linux users.

All this feels pretty old for me

If free alternatives make you Fever to Google, why not just use Google? It’s always free

No, there’s just so much messed up it’s hard to care about something happening on the other side of he world.

I don’t know but Internet Explorer somehow managed to mess it up badly enough to be widely considered inferior by the vast majority of the population, despite being pre installed on Windows. So I suspect Chrome could fall in the same boat if it’s bad enough. Though I guess there are still open source forks.

Yeah I admit I kind of prefer the Gimp site. Are you saying Lemmy isn’t an accurate random sample of normal people in reality?

So far the news and downloads pages still haven’t been updated

If I can’t download it, and the site says the latest version is 2.10.38, is it really released?

And my crack

But it is a classic

What does curl even do? Unstraighten? Seems like any other command I’d blindly paste from an internet thread into a terminal window to try to get something on Linux to work.

Are alarms ever not being raised in this day and age? Seems like business as usual.

Or, you DO find it, but it’s glitchy/outdated (I think there was an issue with Steam). Or you search for the program, find the website, download a .tar.gz, wonder what the hell is this double extension abomination, double click it, doesn’t work, look it up, apparently it’s a type of container like a zip and not a basic program like an exe and instead of using the GUI like a normal person you have to type “tar -xcv” or something that might as well be black magic (I can’t even remember the correct letters), then to actually install you have to find the magic “make” “sudo make install” command, and it still fails.

Much easier to double click the .exe, accept the license agreement, and hit continue a few times.

You don’t have to get rid of all the stuff, it doesn’t break the system like missing sounds or whatnot. Some of its even helpful like weather and news. Plus it isn’t that hard to make a Microsoft account, don’t you need one anyway for Minecraft? And since when do you need drivers for an SSD, don’t those usually work out of the box?

Why would anyone care that you take lots of trips and vacations? Does it let you show off that you have a fulfilling life?

I frequently see comments saying stuff like “don’t trust them, they’re from Lemmy.ml” or “I’m glad Hexbear defederated” usually in terms of tankies/pro-russia anti-Ukraine support. Or occasionally, a random dislike of Lemmy.world because it’s too much like Reddit (isn’t that the point?)

What do you need local group policy for?

When it comes to things I don’t want to read during my lunch break, yes.
