Hexbear in a nutshell. They externalize their self-hatred onto others because it’s easier than actually fixing themselves

They’d have to have a democracy in order for it to be called a democracy

What sort of games do you consider good? By “droid” do you mean F-Droid, or Android?

And there’s a Lemmy community for it, where the creator is pretty active: !pixeldungeon@lemmy.world

Just saw this community on the lemmy.world community list and it’s now a new favorite: !iso@lemmy.world

Man what a clusterfuck. Things still don’t really add up based on public info. I’m sure this will be the end of any real attempts at safeguards, but with the board acting the way it did, I don’t know that there would’ve been even without him returning. You know the board fucked up hard when some SV tech bro looks like the good guy.

It is decentralized. None of the issues you bring up are proof of centralization. If you get banned from one instance or don’t like email verification or whatever your beef is, find an instance with whatever policies you like. If you can’t find such an instance, start your own.

If nobody federates with you because your instance is full of people that got banned from everywhere else, that’s decentralization in action and maybe you should stop to consider if there’s a reason nobody wants to interact with you?

Wheel of Time on Amazon should’ve been animated. It might not have sold as well or whatever the execs wanted but it would’ve been way cheaper to produce something so much better.

I’m sure Google has their own shitty reasons, but also get bent, shitheads 🖕

I know it won’t happen, but it’d be nice if Linux switched to GPLv3. That would at least help somewhat here

I realize we’re probably not going to convince each other over some internet comments, but that’s not a philosophy I’d sign up for. Morality is subjective, and I’d rather choose moral principles that don’t involve me accepting being massacred.

VLC is the sort of software where if it can’t play it, I don’t know what else could. I guess I’d also try the ffmpeg command line tool to see if it can figure out what the video file even is, and maybe it could convert it to a regular format.

Also TBH such a video file would be interesting enough that you could probably post it here (if possible, or any metadata you can extract from it) and see if anyone knows how to play it.

It’s a nice thought, but doesn’t work out so well

Since Word documents are one of your bigger concerns, you can download LibreOffice on one of your current machines and try them out. That’s the same program you’d be using on Linux.

It’d have to be a pretty unusual video format to have issues. Similar to above, you can try VLC on Windows and see if there’s any issues.

Based on your description, I’d be surprised if you encountered any major issues. I’d recommend trying either Pop! OS if you’re OK with a slightly different UI from Windows, or Mint if you want something more comfortable. Note that you can create a LiveUSB stick of either of those, or any other distro. You can then boot your computer from it and take it for a spin to see if there’s any obvious issues.

Magnatiles are surprisingly fun

Oh neat. Development had died down, but looks like it’s picking back up again and the creator is finding more maintainers. It’s what I use on my phone.

Documentation is sorely lacking in many different open source projects. Often just making sure the documentation is up-to-date is very helpful
