Yea I know about it but you can’t make any of the modern memes with it. It only supports top and bottom text memes, which have been outdated for a couple of years now.

Need to rewatch this show at some point. Daria is so ratable

Does the tin man have a sheet metal cock?

"Anyone can download the app, but free users will be given a 14-day trial to test drive it.’

So it’s only for premium users ?

I did an experiment where I used Distrobox for many apps not available on Debian. I installed an Arch distrobox and exported the packages. I found that it works great with simple programs, but I run into a few issues when using more complex programs. Jellyfin Media Player for example tended to have a memory leak and have a core dump on the desktop whenever it is closed. It uses twice as memory as the Flatpak for some reason. I had the same issue with Stremio which is also a video streaming app. For command line things it’s mostly fine. But this too can get tricky. I tried to use Neovim (Debian’s is a bit old) in the Arch distorbox. The issue is that if you need plugins that require some dependency with a given version then you have to also install those and export them which makes things messy. For example you may have a version of Nodejs on your Debian install but you’ll need to install Nodejs on the distorbox too and export it. It’s the same with many packages like that. You’ll run into some issues and waste time trying to figure out where is it coming from. Is it your machine or the distorbox? I ended up just building from source. Overall it’s a great project and might work for some software that you need. But it’s not something you can always rely on for everything. The app devs are not testing for that specific use case. It’s so great for testing and installing stuff and then destroying when you don’t need it anymore.

I never claimed Trump never said stupid shit, but there are many instances where it’s so clickbaity which actually really helps Trump and his supporters. The appeal of Trump is that he posits himself as persecuted by the “woke mob” and “radical left”. He also depicted as someone “saying it as it is” and saying what the “establishment” doesn’t want you to say. There’s some theoretical work that studies how this happens, and I think many leftists rarely pose the hard question of why he is having a mass appeal. It’s not sufficient to just say “people bad and racist” and move on. The modern right succeeded in tricking everyone into seeing the left as this policing and hegemonic force out there trying to force you to say the right thing. It’s so ironic given that the right is the actual hegemonic and moralize force. The trick that they pulled is spectacular tbh and usually the left plays right into their hsnds. The fact that Trump says bad shit is not gonna harm him. That’s his entire appeal. It’s funny that leftist media thinks the more they show he said bad shit the more unlikely he’ll be supported. It’s the exact opposite. It’s the classic childish tragressive thing of “I am gonna say exactly what they want me not to say”. We are in the age of the “rebel punk” right, which is so fuckin ironic. Of course it’s not rebel or punk but they are formally in that positionz while the leftist is cast as the polished professor telling you what to say and what not to say. You can easily see the appeal of the right if you look at it this way, and see how this “trump said a bad thing” is exactly why he is popular.

I don’t think it’s the content of what he is saying that his supporters are drawn to. Trump has succeeded in positing himself as a victim of the “woke left” and the “establishment”. His entire project relies on this vehement opposition. He actually needs the political correctness because his opposition to it is what sustains him. There are theoretical studies of this, like for example Todd McGowan theory of left and right enjoyment. The enjoyment of the right is this enjoyment of transgression, the utterly childish thing of “I am gonna say exactly what you tell me not to say”. The more dumb shit he says the more it goes up. This is what some leftists do not get. You’ll never defeat Trump by showing that he said something bad and "transgressive ". This is exactly his appeal. The right succeeds in making a weird move. They cast the leftist as the “parent figure” that’s out there trying to steal your enjoyment. “You can’t say anything anymore these days”. Ironically the right is the moralizing position, but they succeeded in casting the left as this moralizing figure and we play right into their hands. The early leftist transgressive “hippy” figure has been replaced, in popular imagination, by the uptight professor telling you what you can and can’t say, and you saying it anyway and bonding with the class through that very prohibition.

The media is milking the Trump hysteria for all its worth. The headline is usually “omg Trump said this bad bad thing” but if you see what he says it’s usually nothing. Don’t get me wrong, he does say some dumb shit but it’s insane how they jump on every word he says. Recently I saw the headline of him commenting about a shooting and saying it’s a tragedy and we should move on, which is awkward but could easily have been said by anyone. The move on part is usually said in tragedies as well. But it’s depicted as if he said “omg just move on already” I am actually a leftist and I don’t like Trump but this is absolutely insane.

Is Logseq FOSS ?

Simple Mobile Tools have been forked by one of the maintainers. They have released the Gallery and File Manager so far. Check out their github : https://github.com/FossifyOrg

In Huawei at least, you don’t have the ability to install a custom ROM. They don’t allow you to unlock the bootloader.

FOSS generally puts more pressure on people to write better and safer code, because you know everyone is going to look at it. Even when vulnerabilities are found, they are usually fixed so fast compared to the proprietary side. There are stories of people waiting 6 months for Microsoft to fix a vulnerability, while an Openssh or openssl issue is usually fixed in a few days.

Had me at "References >> 5 years old Chris Titus Tech YouTube video"

Lemmy is a global community so the provider I use in my country would hardly be useful to anyone else, you wouldn't have heard of it. Maybe specify which country you're interested in if you wanna compare providers available for you.

Software information says you're already using Fedora ? Do you mean you want to switch distros ? If so, it'll be useful to say what you're looking for and why Fedora didn't fulfill those needs so we can recommend alternatives.

Is this a global thing? I never saw that popup and was thinking maybe they are directing this only at the US and Europe. I am in north Africa and YouTube premium isn't even available (not that I'd pay for that overpriced bullshit).

Yes it's always read right to left, which can be confusing when you combine English and Arabic. When you reach the Arabic word or sentence you jump to its beginning which is the first Arabic letter to the right, read it from there to the left, and then continue to the next English word when you're done.

It's somewhat difficult to translate, because Arabic doesn't have the concept of case in letters. Usually you can use "حروف صغيرة” or ”حروف كبيرة" which literally translates as "small letters" and "big letters" when referencing other languages. For the general "letter case" you can use "حالة الأحرف". So it'll be something like : تجاهل حالة الأحرف.

So here you substitute الرسالة for the correct word الأحرف to mean "letters"

I hope this is a joke because the Arabic translation is so wrong. It's also confusing because Arabic is written from right to left so it'll just create a mess. The translators are using "letter case" and translated it literally to Arabic. The word used doesn't mean "letter" as in a letter in the alphabet but "letter" as in what you send in the post office. These are totally different words in Arabic.
