I find the vibe unnecessary as well, but I think it’s more than tribalism, the stake here is freeing generic image editing from the capital

Cutting the Trump mob short AND cutting back on fossil fuels ? go go go

Sarcasm isn’t getting anyone anywhere, if you want to communicate do so in good faith

Quite franky I am tired of these fucking rounded corners everywhere. The current design is fine. Already a bit too rounded. Just make quality of life and web compatibility improvements rather than change the look of the GUI.

“we need to make an app and then we make millions”

what is this, a twitter post embedded in a facebook page, loaded in a browser on an apple device ? and I get to see it when halfway around the world ? no doubt this must be the future

KILLIONAIRE

There, it’s done.

That’s great, thanks for sharing your experience. The value that mandarin or french or hindi or english have as a vehicular within their own borders (or beyond, in the case of english) is immense. Independentist velleities are not always a consequence of strong regional identity in my experience

What do you mean by “certain dialects are dying off by choice” ?

I can’t help but be reminded of my own Provençal (dialect of Occitan) when reading your bit about Waldviertler & Ottakringer being considered lower class. In the case of Occitan (in all its varieties), its “peasant” perception was encouraged if not manufactured by the state. The generation of my grandparents (early 20th) was physically reprimanded if they were caught using it.

That’s great if China is not going this route. For such a big country, levelling the cultural field would be such an immense loss

I get that this is China fearmongering, but it’s also how France eroded and almost killed off the regional languages…, by stigmatizing their use in schools, posting exclusively french-speaking state workers in administrative roles, etc. under the guise of “national unity” or some other variation of it

yea, it would certainly have been a long-term investment.

Also, an HP or Dell Linux distro would be an unholy abomination. I can only imagine what they’d ship.

I figured they would just rebrand some big stable distro

amazing game, forgot everything about it except it’s full of nooks and crannies and really unique. Plays very well

If they’re anything like me, I think the europeans just wouldn’t know wtf you’re dousing your meal with

If I were a laptop maker I would have seen the writing on the wall ten years ago and invested in Linux support, but hey

About ten years ago I read “Fascism and great capital” by Daniel Guérin. Back then it blew my mind that the industries (during WWII) were so intertwined with war, occupation, genocide. My simple understanding then was that wars were mostly ideological. He wrote it in 1934 and already he was seeing clearly the collusion of these spheres.

I didn’t know all that, thanks for the skunk lore !
