I’d rather we stop sexualizing characters altogether. If anything, it’s silly and makes it more difficult to take them seriously.

The weird thing is, as a guy, I never even paid attention to the sexualized stuff in games. To me these are like two different brain activities. So, as far as I’m concerned, there was never any point in this kind of marketing. I’ve never in my life purchased a game because it featured sexy ladies.

The moods and themes are pretty cool categorizations. I should give it a try. Thanks!

Yeah, I’ve tried this, it’s not very helpful for me.

This doesn’t really work for me, because it mostly just shows me artists in the same genre, most of which I’m already aware of and don’t care about. I’m really more looking for music that conveys similar meaning/concepts. The genre is less relevant here.

That is a great idea, I should try it, thanks

As a former lifelong Windows user (from 2002 to 2019), I honestly don’t get why people continue using Windows in the future. It doesn’t make sense to me. They’re cracking down on liberties, increasing system requirements, and old software and games are gradually becoming less compatible. And people seem to be starting to realize that other options are becoming gradually more attractive, because Windows is now hovering below 70% while just ten years ago it was at over 90%. Meanwhile Mac has grown from 7% to 20%, and Linux is at an unprecedented 3%, and that’s not counting ChromeOS, which is slightly higher.

The mistakes Microsoft is doing can prove fatal. Because I think for most people, once they embrace Linux, even if Windows improves, they won’t wanna go back.

i get that, it’s a preference thing

Okay, but until like this last year I’d barely see mentions of it, but now it’s kinda everywhere.

Worth noting, this meme is from the time before Arch had an easy installer. So that’s probably what it’s referring to. I joined Linux almost 4 years ago, and this meme already existed then. I dunno how old it really is.

This is a very old meme. NixOS wasn’t popular then (or didn’t exist, I dunno).

Russia has been doing and undoing itself the whole history. Meanwhile, who suffers? The minorities. You could compile a list of cultures they destroyed across Siberia, the Pontic Steppe and the Caucasus. And this process is still ongoing.

That’s kinda the whole point of this bullshit. Russia’s entire history is “things go bad? find an enemy and attack them.” This distracts the populace and makes the ruler (at least theoretically) look “strong”. This is why “war” is the answer to almost any problem in Russia. For Nicholas II this didn’t work out though, when he attacked Japan hoping for a quick victory, but ended up losing and exacerbating problems at home, which then led to the collapse of Russia.

Spotify is easy to crack though, I enjoy free adless experience

You guys actually paying for Spotify?

I used to. But in the later years I found it very difficult to carry this much weight. In addition to that, I’ve realized the transient nature of my music tastes and my over-reliance on music. Also my priorities have changed a lot. Music is far from essential for survival, and when the times get rough (when you move a lot, and all you can take with you is your laptop), it’s much easier to access an online library than your own physical one. I’ve decided to keep the mp3s (m4as, wavs, flacs, etc.) of the songs that aren’t on Spotify and remove everything else.

I prefer to think of Tux as one of those huge albino penguins from At the Mountains of Madness

And I’m stupid enough to be honest when applying for a job 😓

I mean, do you expect them to go to every country in the world?
