I voted for Clinton and Sanders. I hate Biden and Trump. You’re reading way too much into this and trying to play gotcha.

How dumb do you have to be to not understand that hating particular candidates on one side doesn’t mean I’m licking the boots of the other side? Funny how you’re incapable of thinking outside of the binary.

I backed Clinton and Sanders. If it’s fucking Biden and Trump in the next election, I don’t know what I’m gonna do because they both suck. I don’t know who I’m going to vote for in the next primary yet, but it sure ain’t gonna be either Trump or Biden.

Sarcasm. Hence the quotation marks. They clearly don’t believe in science if they ignored their own rules.

Surprise! I hate Trump too!

Ah yes, the old tired argument that anybody who criticizes Democrats (including governors, mayors, and legislators who did indeed push for covid lockdowns) means that they must be a Trump bootlicker.

How cute. Almost as if you are in a cult who can’t handle criticism.

The lockdowns were on a state and local level, enacted by Democrat governors, mayors, and legislation, and you know it. And of course the Democrats didn’t cause covid. The idea that the government can dictate what’s essential and what isn’t sounds like fascism to me. Especially when you’ve got a bunch of these “science believers” vacationing in Florida and Texas so they don’t have to abide by the covid restrictions they pushed for in their own cities and states.

Both Republicans and Democrats are different breeds of fascism and stupidity at this point, and if you can’t criticize your own side, you’re in cult.

A lot of countries were far worse. I still can’t get over what happened in Australia, and I feel terrible for North Korean citizens.

XFCE is seriously underrated.

I wouldn’t have expected anything different.

Absolutely. If you can’t look at your own side critically, you’re in a cult.

.com was a common file extension for MS-DOS executables, which was still in common use when the Internet started taking off.

I’m waiting for .7z because it doesn’t nag me to register it.

I’ve had several people here already tell me (directly or indirectly) that I’m really a Trump supporter in disguise because I dare criticize Biden and centrists don’t exist. But that isn’t a problem specific to Lemmy, and the sites that aren’t like this are alt-right “Ultra MAGA” cult sites that I want nothing to do with.

By default, your instance will only know about communities on that instance and communities that users of that instance have intentionally subscribed to. Unfortunately, this causes problems for users of smaller instances unless the instance admins are running a federation helper bot, which basically scans remote instances for communities and adds them to the instance.

I found this out the hard way when I first tried Lemmy, since I picked a tiny instance due to the larger ones being overloaded in June. I had a hell of a time trying to subscribe to the communities for the new Lemmy apps I was trying out. I kept getting Community Not Found errors until I refreshed the page multiple times until it eventually found the community.

What VM software would you recommend? The issue I always run into is GPU acceleration whenever I use the usual virt-manager or VirtualBox.

Some of us do enjoy hot weather. I hardly ever use my air conditioner.

Well, I’ve been giving Mammoth and Ice Cubes a try instead of the official app, and I don’t think I’m going back to official. They can both see way more posts, and translation actually works.

The lack of discovery features are why I never really got into Mastodon, but it seems like the third party apps got that right.

Hexbear, Exploding Heads, and Lemmygrad are cesspools.

Luigi can jump really high, so I like playing as Luigi as well.

I avoid HP at all costs because they’re a scumbag company that disables their printers if you don’t use them the way they want you to.
