The first one is definitely a xenomorph

For a username like Veritas you really do a lot to avoid the truth. Anyway...

Nah, the number one reason to vote lately is to prevent Trump from pissing all over democracy. Even Republicans are joining in.

I see a lot of clueless interpretations of openSUSE in this thread. Like any other distro, you have to learn how it works. Most people here don't want to bother and keep arguing that it doesn't work like Arch, etc. Well, it's not Arch... duh.

Of course, by now, you've realized that the defaults are good and it's very stable. Unlike other rolling distros, it rarely breaks from an update because every release is automatically tested. BUT, issues do arise with the repo NVIDIA drivers, which don't always get built fast enough to work with newer kernels as they are released. It's not a big deal because you only need to wait ~1 week, but surprisingly, the maintainers don't preemptively address it. Also, codecs can be problematic because, like the NVIDIA repo, they lag behind and take time to catch up to the OSS repo. Annoying, to be sure, but if you are using flatpaks, it doesn't matter.

And this is probably a shocker to most people here, but you don't have to install Yast. I don't use it at all. The catch is that you must learn something new and how to hold back certain packages.

Really? They also once had a hydroelectric dam. Just don't post...

A new bot has emerged

They weren't too far off from the Pentagon's estimates the last time they published. It's not like they are saying that 30 Himar platforms were destroyed yesterday

Of course the number 1 news source broke this story. I read that site everyday in my basement stronghold while wearing my special tin hat.

Politico really working those baseless out of touch old guy undertones

Does this belong in conspiracy?

All the hard work you put into spreading nonsense is wasted in Lemmy. There aren't enough users to make it worthwhile. Then again, you'd be banned quickly somewhere like Reddit, so I guess it's your only choice.

Is there a meme here?

So, you said something dumb, and it's everyone else's fault? 🤣

Are you watching me now, comrade? Prove it.

Lol

Lemmy is the new and improved Reddit. More chaos and less moderation!

He might not have much going on upstairs

Don't engage. He is a useful idiot and very determined.

It's more like content steering, yes. But from the perspective of someone that frequents a thread, it's shadowy. All the content vanishes and remembering the usernames that commented, so I can look up what was removed, is just not practical.

It's really bizarre and sadly dystopian.

See what you did here got me banned from an instance. Copy / pasting the same comment.

No. Admittedly I am having trouble understanding what you wrote but that might highlight part of the problem. Mods who aren't native English speakers are mods in English subs. They have no idea what they are reading and react randomly.

Also, the random people who volunteer to be mods. They don't volunteer with good intentions.

FYI, the next version of Nexcloud AIO will come with the external transcoder.

Brilliant.

Exactly. You can't do anything. You are at the mercy of the mods. If they have massive bias for something, the entire sub has massive bias.

Personal echo chamber has to be the worst reasoning and idea I have ever heard.

Maybe I'm bothered because what you suggest as normal is bananas crazy.

People that get off having mod powers or people that want to push a particular message... 😕

Wut

They have a child-like mentality. If they can't have it, then blow it up. Now no one gets it.

People trying to post this trash here just because there is limited moderation...

Because it's important for the Russian propagandists to show that everyone is bad, so that the war that they started seems less horrendous. Also, people are just stupid. As long as it isn't happening to them, it's OK.

And here I was almost convinced by peoplesdispatch.org /s

Happy to hear your better suggestions.

Definitely Lemmy world. Or by some nut mod anywhere else.

That's the thing, you have to frequent particular threads to notice, but for your own posts, you can see the mod reasoning, if they are given. Most of the time there is no reason given, but every now and then there's a one word response that is clearly them not understanding words or pushing their own political ideas. And by doing that they've created echo chambers for entire subs. It's disgusting.

In Reddit at least there is a big notice posted in the comment if they are removed. In Lemmy, they just prune everything so it looks like everyone agrees with the mod.
