Hm, while almost all of the pet subreddits I used to visit allowed grief posts (which is what I thought you were complaining about), none seemed to have a problem with people showcasing their pets’ corpses in photos.

Reddit’s moderation must have descended to total dogshit or maybe there’s one mod common to all these pet subreddits that’s just really weird.

Oof. People can’t even post memes about things that frustrate them now? A lot of trans memes are about shit like this, if we removed all those there’d barely be any left.

I’m 90% sure that I could play gamebooks right now with my 7-year-old jailbroken Kindle. 100% sure that I could play other types of IF with one of the Boox devices that run Android.

I found 20.0 on the first page of DDG but go off…

The only ones I liked other than OKCupid (which is owned by Match) are Scruff and Hornet. But they’re mostly only for men who like men and are hookup-focused, so not really suitable for dating, necessarily.

Houdini FX has a Linux version, you’d just have to find a copy of it for Linux.

Maybe Linux Lite? It’s based on Ubuntu LTS and the default DE is XFCE but you could replace it with LXDE or whatever you want.

I think that this is shortsighted. Imagine a scenario in which a person might use a Nazi salute in public: it is unlikely that it would be used by a single person just out doing their normal routine. Consider the recent context of Elon Musk, who was at a very large political gathering and was expecting people to respond in kind with their own salutes.

Do you want more visible Nazis? They show up when you summon them. They don’t go away when you outlaw their symbols, but they do find it less appealing to promote themselves online or have rallies to recruit more would-be Nazis. I understand your hesitance to let the state do these things, it’s a large part of the reason why I don’t believe in capital punishment. But if the state doesn’t have the power to stop this peacefully, the next step (no matter what “side” is doing it) is violence.

The comparison to saying slurs is just not equivalent whatsoever.

Sorry, are you really saying that a Nazi salute is a simple gesture and not overt hate speech against racialized groups? That a Nazi rally in a public place is totally cool and a reasonable expression of political ideology in a democratic society?

That is not a centrist position, it’s a pro-Nazi position. Nazis are not acceptable in public. If a Nazi wants to salute up and down the street, they should be prepared for people to take it as it is (an act of hate speech). In some countries that’s not a crime, but it sure is in my country and, soon, Australia too.

Punishing Nazis for attempting to rally support from the wider public is dystopian? I definitely don’t want to live in your perfect society.

At least a few years. I switched to Linux a year ago and that was a huge consideration for me when choosing Debian over Ubuntu.

I used to, when I had fun neighbours my age that I made through an online Buy Nothing group. If you just start indulging in social groups related to your interests, you’re bound to meet people. It’s up to you if you want to socialize more with those people.

Unfortunately, no one will force you to hang out with them (except red flag weirdos), so a lot of the effort needs to come from you. If you get flaked on/deprioritized/ignored/ghosted more than once or twice, that’s the cue to move on and try someone else so you don’t get your hopes up.
