World News@lemmy.world•US lawmakers seek to 'fuse' Israeli, US militaries under 2027 defense authorization actEnglish
27·19 days agoImagine for a moment that the purpose of Epstein’s sex trafficking was to get compromising video and other evidence to use for blackmailing powerful leaders and such for Israeli intelligence.
I don’t claim to know for sure that is true, but I feel like a great many things make more sense if it is.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Trans folks of Lemmy: Did you ever dream having a body which doesn't match your AGAB?English
2·1 month agoI legit feel bad for you if this is true. Remembering dreams is so cool. It’s amazing to see the bizarre shit your mind comes up with while you sleep. I don’t remember all my dreams but I do remember at least the last dream I had before waking fairly often.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Reclaiming the desktop: Why I’m still on Linux in 2026English
4·2 months agoFair point, but out of the box KDE has pretty sane defaults these days. It’s a very inoffensive desktop.
I have just a couple customizations that I do immediately on a fresh install, but it certainly wouldn’t kill me to use it as it comes.

World News@lemmy.world•Gulf allies privately make the case to Trump to keep fighting until Iran is decisively defeatedEnglish
2·3 months agoIt doesn’t seem like a very private conversation if we’re reading about it in headlines.
I don’t know what the point of separate partitions for OS and userspace is, but whatevs…
Some folks like to be able to reinstall the OS while preserving /home. That’s the only reason I’ve seen for doing separate partitions. (I’m not someone who does that, but it’s the explanation I’ve seen)
EndeavourOS plus Plasma 6.
I don’t think I’ll ever use a distro that isn’t arch based again, and you can have KDE plasma when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. :)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I want to write a comic book about a superhero in his 20s who comes from a very wealthy family but my friend says its stupid. Should I give up?English
4·3 months agoYou can only become a better writer by writing. Also your friend should be more supportive. Lastly, I’m sure a story like that will have no problem finding an audience.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•After the Plague: Sleeping Beauty, Part 2English
4·3 months agoGiven the number of times the, er, woke side of things gets blamed for terminology, I think it communicates the sentiment perfectly. When we try using very specific terms like white privilege or toxic masculinity , a great many people obtusely (intentionally in many cases I think) find those terms confusing or assume they mean something different than they do.
You hear “no one is illegal on stolen land” and you know exactly what they are trying to say. Anything more complicated would be too long or end up trying to be specific in a way that would confuse things, IMO.

Technology@lemmy.world•Manjaro Linux Team Goes on Strike, Threatens to Fork the ProjectEnglish
17·3 months agoEndeavourOS is very close to being vanilla arch with sane defaults. I run it on multiple machines and it’s rock solid.

I have gpt4all installed and just for kicks I just asked it three times “Who is Elias Thorne?” It gave me three different answers, including one answer claiming he’s a character from The Last of Us and another claiming he’s a character from Stranger Things.
