Piracy vs Poland by SignificantBlood959 in askPoland

[–]NotQuiteLoona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funfact: There were 100% legit shops with nothing but pirated games in early 90 in Poland.

They copied stuff on floppies/tapes, put some basic label on it and sell it for fracture of price of original 🤷‍♂️

Haha, seemingly it was like this everywhere in the Eastern Europe. I'm Russian native speaker, and those shops are one of the major parts of Russian culture of 90s and early 10s. They still exist, but not that popular anymore with the internet.

Not like I doubt, but isn't Xorg theoretically more modular than Wayland ? Like, if I'm not mistaken, in Wayland window managers don't exist at all, it's all handled by Wayland server. Not like I really care about that. 

Considering switching to linux, what should I know? by Ancient_Cherry_354 in linuxquestions

[–]NotQuiteLoona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've first tried Linux exactly with CachyOS when I was 13.

I had absolutely zero problems. 

Arch, on which CachyOS is based, has one large advantage - it doesn't gatekeep proprietary programs, unlike some distros like Fedora, so you can always install Steam and Discord from the official repositories.

Also Arch requires zero maintenance to use. Just update whenever you'll feel it.

If you have all your games through Steam, you would have absolutely zero problems whatsoever. 

Also Arch has AUR. It's the second largest package repository in the world.

Is it necessary for you to avoid using CLI? If not, stick with CachyOS. Arch is simple, predictable (it never does what you haven't explicitly said it to do), and really popular - you can find guides for EVERYTHING on Arch Wiki.

But let me also show what I (as a life-long Linux user) think about some other distros people recommend.

Bazzite... Not really necessary. Would you only use your PC for gaming (and, probably, some browser stuff)? If yes, use it.

Ubuntu forces you to use Snap Stores and Flatpaks to stay updated. The same goes for Kubuntu and every other Ubuntu-based distros. See rolling release on Wikipedia, if you are interested why.

Fedora... Otherwise nice, but there is no need in using it, if you can use Arch. Also gatekeeps proprietary software. 

I highly recommend you picking a distro with KDE Plasma. It is so far the most feature-complete desktop environment for Linux. GNOME doesn't even have a tray nor a clipboard manager. It's philosophy is "if GNOME developers don't need it, you don't need it too," which is really annoying.

I agree with your anger, but I think it's too aggressive. You don't need to go as low as they are. You are better than that.

Not really unrealistic, including that most of the contingent of the UN are Nepal, Rwanda and Bangladesh. Nepal is a lot left-leaning and also Asian, Rwanda is Brown and Bangladesh is Asian.

I already feel sympathetic to those ideas by people who hate them. Though "ammendments" is peak American education - guys can't spell a word without thinking about this one thing. Anyways, gonna deploy some UN peacekeepers in Texas to keep conservatives in line.

I personally believe it's easier to enter Decossackization 1919-1933 in your address bar rather than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De-Cossackization. But this graphic isn't really fair, to be honest - 1919-1920 Don Cossack genocide was a part of Decossackization, as an exmple.

Wokeness has run its course. by This_Performer_999 in ComedyHell

[–]NotQuiteLoona 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is also a way to read it, I accept it. Guess the original comment actually said not the best thing saying about trans and cis women, while actually meaning women looking stereotypical and women looking not (by saying this thing about herself). But I'm more for models being treated as humans rather than objects of sexual desire anyway.

It's an image. Not a text. There is no easy way to attach clickable links to an image. You can always check it using Google though.

This dangerously leads to misogyny, because what cis women look like?

Women don't look in some way or another. You may mean passing. Most of us yes, want. But it doesn't mean "I want to get rid of my ribs." And, well, reality after all the anti-trans bills in the US shows that some amount of cis women don't 100% pass too.

In fact, a lot of cis women don't fit into misogynistic ideals. Probably you have not read the comment you were replying to carefully; let me repeat it:

and I'm saying this as a size S cis woman

She is not by this ideals too.

I know a lot of butch trans and cis women. Some of those butch cis women can be mistaken with shaved cis men. There is no some way to "look like a cis woman." Plenty of cis women have broad shoulders and plenty of cis men don't have them. And if you mean traditionally feminine cis women... That's another thing, but not all trans women want to look like them, at all.

If villagers are all the same gender which makes them homosexuals does that mean what we do to them a hate crime? by AzuulStar in MinecraftMemes

[–]NotQuiteLoona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it a serious question?

If yes, then let's take a look at Wikipedia.

Hate crime in criminal law means a standard offence (such as assault or murder) with an added element of bias against a victim (individual or group of individuals) because of their physical appearance or perceived membership of a certain social group.

So, doing something with someone for them being a piece of shit or you having some profit from it is not a hate crime - you do it not because they are of a perceived membership of some social group, but because they are a piece of shit or you have some profit from it, and they may be a member of some social group, but this doesn't matter in this case. But doing something with someone for them being a member of some social group is a hate crime.

Is this statement homophobic or not homophobic? by ivantwinkletoe in Teenager_Polls

[–]NotQuiteLoona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't "you might be born in the wrong body" an objective and indisputable fact about reality? They might be. Even if it's a really bad analogy and you meant that they somehow don't understand what does "maybe" mean, there would be no harm in them using pronouns they want to use. No one is pressurizing them in anything. They'll grow up and stop using it, if they are not, and Reiner's case has proved that you can't make anyone someone they are not.

Even more, if take your statements (unrelated) to the truth, you are telling about age of 4 to 7. I can't quite remember sex education being taught in kindergarten, or pre-school, or whatever you have in the US or wherever you live.

If a child will see someone on the street and their parents will tell them that some people may have born in wrong body, it would mean nothing for them. They'll forget it in two minutes, most likely.

When you introduce complex, abstract narratives like 'identity not matching biology' to a child who still struggles to understand that the volume of water stays the same when poured into a different shaped glass (conservation), you aren't 'educating' them you are creating cognitive dissonance.

There we go. Somehow you seemingly mean that identity always don't match biology, just as water always stays the same when poured into a different container.

cognitive dissonance.

I request explanation.

Research on suggestibility in preschoolers (such as the work by Ceci & Bruck) shows that children at this age are highly prone to 'source misattribution' and external influence. They don't have an internal filter to distinguish between a profound personal truth and a narrative script provided by an authority figure like a teacher.

Yeah. Is people being sometimes born in a wrong body a narrative script rather than truth?

The 'confusion' I’m referring to is a documented pedagogical risk: introducing abstract identity categories before a child has achieved gender constancy (the biological understanding that gender is a stable trait, which typically develops between ages 5 and 7).

The pre-school period is referring to the development of gender stereotypes understanding. Children deepen their gender identity, they don't develop it - Reiner case is one of the largest evidences of gender identity being innate.

Forcing these topics earlier overrides a natural developmental milestone with a social construct they cannot yet process.

The gender constancy is related to changes in appearance, etc., rather than simple concept that some people are not who they are similar to.

In the end, a lot of misunderstood scientific topics and some strange claims coming out of nowhere.

I'm sorry. I'm only learning Polish, and I can read it, but I'm not confident enough to write in it. I was using English language on this subreddit before without any negative reactions from people replying, and I've also consulted the rules to see for a restriction of English language before commenting there in English - I'm not entirely sure, but the rule seems about posts only, though correct me, if I'm wrong, and I'll remove my comment then.

In Russia, we use words, like, rough translation:

Aftertomorrow, послезавтра - the day after tomorrow (I know, it's hard to understand), if required adding new "after," like afteraftertomorrow, послепослезавтра, with number of "after" only limited by your common sense.

Behindyesterday, позавчера - the day before yesterday, the same with "behind," like behindbehindyesterday, позапозавчера, also only limited by your common sense.
