When games work so well on Linux these days, it seems to me that there is absolutely no reason for Windows to exist anymore. Why does anyone use it?

That’s risky, there could be some pretty heinous fucked up shit in there waiting to be undeleted.

But I agree with the sentiment.

Yeah, Iran’s last democratically elected leader was Mohammed Mosaddegh, who upheld the most watered down and benign version of social democracy you can think of. He publicly opposed communism and really should’ve been an ally or at least a friend of the west.

CIA was out of their fucking minds when they fucked that one up.

To such a simple question I can offer a simple answer: Everything.

The real answer is not that simple of course. There’s some good ideas in socialism.

What most non-crazy people seem to mean by “socialism” is liberalism with a strong social safety net and public services (e.g. Nordic countries, “Democratic socialists” like Bernie Sanders, etc), which is a separate thing altogether.

Exactly, and specifically for this thread this is not quite the same socialism what Bashar al-Assad has been going for.

Extremely funny you say this in this situation since there is a group here fighting for freedom and democracy but they’re stinky reds, so you’ll hate them.

The other things you said can be accepted as opinions, but here I’ll have to correct you: In this conflict, Bashar al-Assad is the socialist (Ba’athist), and the group “fighting for freedom and democracy”, as you put it, is Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham. They are a far-right islamist religious fundamentalist terrorist organization.

So essentially nobody in Syria is fighting for any sensible definition of democracy or freedom.

For adults, literally everything that doesn’t directly hurt other living things.

Gonna have to disagree with you for two reasons:

• it’s not actually illegal (except in Australia soon I guess)
• when everyone’s a user, the social aspect makes it practically impossible for single households to impose limits without making their child a pariah

The Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)

Uh no thanks. It’s hard to be sympathetic towards any official side of that war because they’re all major assholes. Why do they only have socialists and islamists in those areas? Why hasn’t liberalism and freedom taken root in the Near East?

I never managed to like Witcher 3. I don’t quite understand why people love it so much.

Cyberpunk 2077 was ok though.

Russia started the Ukraine war in 2014 by attacking Crimea. Then they escalated the war in 2022 by attacking all of Ukraine.

No other escalations have happened. Claiming that it has is typical russotroll bullshit.

(which means you have to update the extension to get updated ad lists)

Extensions get updated automatically, though, right?

You go back to lemmy. Oh wait

How is uBO Lite different from regular uBO?

Because Lemmy is fucking communist.

Pulls advertising? Why would a government advertise in a news paper? Do they have new products coming next year?

Yeah, I did certainly want to be able to do something that would’ve made my child not trans, but I couldn’t figure any way to do that so there was just nothing to even try. Also in the same vein on several occasions I wondered whether I had caused this by some action or inaction which is just pointless rumination.

Some of the more delusional churchgoers think they can change these things because they think they have a wizard on their side.
