I think that the term ‘liberal’ (repectively ‘liberalism’) is both very vague and widely misused. Also that ‘left’ and ‘liberal’ are not mutally exclusive at all.

Europe@feddit.org•GrapheneOS claims There's a major state sponsored misinformation and smear campaign towards GrapheneOS in the Netherlands and Germany.English
10·7 days ago‘Somewhat opinionated’ is what comes to mind for those last two paragraphs.
I know the makers of GrapheneOS are effectively privacy activists, so that is to be expected. I not sure what to think of this kind of alarmism however. ‘Chat Control’ is largely rejected and laws regulating security have been altered specifically to acommodate FOSS projects. I also really dislike the way they shit on companies and other third party OSs. They may be right, but it feels like a weird way to go about this

UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Guy who bought all the ram says you should hand over your ramEnglish
1·13 days agoThat is true of course, all I meant to say is that using a web browser shouldn’t demand more than 8 GB of RAM. On Linux, with zswap, you can probably get away with it. On Windows? Probably a horrible experience (the persistent horrors of Windows aside).
UnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldtoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•With 86% of the words, you might understand only 38% of an anime's linesEnglish
1·13 days agoI’ve noticed this as well. I have been learning Japanese for about 2 years at this point (sometimes more, sometimes less serious), and I have a really hard time understanding anything that is not targeted at children. Mostly because it’s too fast and I don’t know the words.

Europe@feddit.org•Why is Germany always in the way of great things?English
32·14 days agoHow come the comments are full of conspiracy theories? Is Germany really that scary?
This is an incredibly boring and admittedly very unnecessary discussion about a name that basically doesn’t even have a meaning right now. And it was opposed because of exactly that reason on the one hand, and because it was used before - in the context of Ukraine - on the other.
That’s all there is to it. It’s politicians that don’t want the matters of Canada and Ukraine get mixed up, or to commit to some ‘membership-light’ that simply does not exist right now. Super duper boring. Go worry about something worth worrying about.

41·14 days agoGermany is governed by the biggest asshole since possibly hitler
Whereas they are like a 10 and a solid 3 on the asshole scale. I totally agree with the first half of your comment, but seriously what is that comparison? Old, out-of-touch, conservative multi-millionaire who upset people with speeches against a multi-millionaire in mass murder?
It’s not that I want to defend Merz, but I do want to call out this lack of nuance and respect for history here real quick…
Didn’t expect to see this here. Can’t wait to play Forever and see this meme 30 times / s in the chat.

451·14 days agoDon’t get me wrong, having large amounts of RAM and lots of CPU muscle has made software terribly inefficient. An everyday user shouldn’t have to have more than 8-16 GB and perhaps 4 cores to get by. That said, wtf are we even talking about here? The solution to too little RAM is making more or using less. Memory is a commodity, not a privilige.

Europe@feddit.org•Decoupling ‘would be a big mistake’, says Germany’s Merz as he seeks balanced ties with ChinaEnglish
41·17 days agoIf we decoupled today it would mean immediate economic collapse, I’ll hand him that. He sure is bad with words for a chacellor thought.
But honestly speaking, he’s just one old, out-of-touch guy. I think the people the brought him into power are more to blame than he is. He did not grab power, he was his party’s choice for wielding it.
Even if they act all upset now, he is the CDU’s fault, not vice versa. They elected him, his ideas, promises and speeches. They liked him until the moment they realized politics are hard and he is unpopular. He is a symptom of a party that is corrupt and out of touch itself.

Europe@feddit.org•Germany slams brakes on EU-Canada 'associate member' statementEnglish
2·17 days agoI mean, there is no such thing as ‘associate members’ rn so I kinda understand where they’re coming from rationally… Although I would be fine with just ‘member’ for that matter.
The thing is that the EU needs reforms and additional members will just make them even harder. The expansionism of the past has definitely caused problems for us. I think it’s fair enough to be at least a little more cautious than before

Linux@programming.dev•will Kubuntu ever be considered the default over Ubuntu?English
2·18 days agoNo. There are two major DEs and it’s them. I see neither is going anywhere and more often than not, both are offered to choose from. I think GNOME is often picked as the default because it’s all about simplicity and that makes sense for business-oriented distros like Ubuntu and Fedora

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Anon died on the "clang format bad" hillEnglish
4·20 days agoIt really is remarkably better than Code. Single-window, multi-repo, multi-worktree support? Not a problem. Want a closer look at the diff? Why stop there, you can maximize every single panel. The Git integration is also so much better, no extensions required. Lots more stuff is integrated, yet less setup is required and somehow it is still much faster than Code.
You can really tell that a ton of thought went into this IDE

Linux@programming.dev•Giving linux a try, should i try gamedev next?English
15·25 days agoI’d try the Godot Engine if I were you, given you know how to program. If not, I recommend learning the basics of programing first.
I don’t want to sound discouraging, but for many it’s a lengthy process to make any decent game. That’s specially true if you want to learn about creating assets. As long as you do it for fun that doesn’t matter though. Point being: don’t expect to spend a month and create a hit. Just have fun doing it.


You should use zwap with swappiness 100 if you want zram + swap. You can also enable and configure systemd-oomd (out of memory demon) if you actually run out of memory at times - it goes about things smarter than the kernel (for example killing processes that wait on memory all the time).
