Around 10-15 years ago when that meme/stereotype was popularized , that was kind of the case. The world has moved on since then, the perception of veganism has changed, and it’s not a big deal anymore. Its easier to be vegan now, too. restaurants/grocery stores have more offerings, big brands have vegan options, people aren’t usually rude to you anymore for being vegan or asking for vegan stuff.

I think all this contributes to vegans feeling less of the need to assert themselves like before. I feel like its because people nowadays “get” it and back then most non vegan people didn’t get it.

You don’t have cargo installed is what that message is telling you

That’s a great instinct to have in the current landscape, but keep in mind the rise of machine learning is happening. And there are a few really cool and good use-cases for it. So it might be a hindrance to yourself to automatically throw out anything to do with “AI”, you might find something cool to use it for.

For instance, as a hobbyist graphic designer, I use a local instance of Stable Diffusion these days instead of Photoshop to make quick photo edits, saving me hours of manually masking out objects and filling in the blanks.

The NVIDIA drivers getting removed during an update has happened to me THREE times in the last 3 months. In that same time frame I saw an LTT video where they had the same problem, and now this meme with the same problem again. What the actual heck is going on here? I just run the system update command and it says it has to uninstall the drivers due to some conflict with a system package. Then it reboots to the screen in the right image above. Im still trying different distros and configurations but it’s almost enough to make me give up. As lame as windows is I can at least expect an update not to completely brick my system (most of the time).

just like every other executable downloaded from the Internet, man. doesn’t seem too scary

I’m gonna say this all the time now

nobody says those that way in real life. I only hear people say “I went to the ATM” “I forgot my PIN”

that’s not at all what they said but stay angry nerd

but why? It makes software installation easy. You constantly angry nerds are a huge part of the reason Linux doesn’t have more popularity. There’s literally nothing wrong with flatpaks for the average user

wow i hope that’s not all, that’s a pretty lame update. I can’t think of even one use-case that that would be helpful for.

you can at least turn the LEDs off or set them to white

what a terrible take. honestly this community is like a parody of itself sometimes

I’ve been doing this exact thing!! and it’s refreshing to see this attitude on Lemmy, which generally seems to really really hate giving the creators of the content they consume any money. People here act like they’re entitled to free content and piracy is some moral obligation. Piracy is and should be just a little bit shameful. it’s not like it’s evil or whatever but you’re not supposed to be proud of doing it. I pay for the content i spend the most time with whenever I’m financially comfortable enough to do it.

it’s incredible how out of touch this community is with the average end user. I’d wager that MOST people don’t know how, much less want to set custom flags for every one of their games. Believe it or not people actually like using nice GUIs and rely on simple intuitive frontends, and it’s a massive failure on Valve’s part considering they’re the largest, most mainstream PC gaming platform.

if you want desktop icons just configure and install something to do that. that’s the best part about Linux is that your distro literally doesn’t matter, it’s just a good starting point to jump off and customize

looking nice and readable is just cool and good
