Sorry, please don’t take this as an attack. It’s just that I’m so tired of that lame joke.

I tried to present this as an observation. When filing a bug report (which I tried to emulate here), you have to take into account the distro, as it may influence the behavior of the software in question. Namely here Firefox.

Now, does that make you laugh? Good, laugh about it. But please think about it in this context. You are laughing about a personal choice. Prejudice is taking hold of your mind. You’re turning someone’s choice into a strawman, easy to be laughed at just because.

It’s a bit like attacking vegans. Now it’s not about this or that person and their choice. They’re evened out, ridiculed, just because it’s memetic to do so. The same with Arch users, so it seems.

I don’t use Arch btw. There’s no btw because I don’t care about that. This just reminds me of how certain groups always have to hear the same old tired jokes about them, just because, individually, everyone telling those jokes feels it’s so clever to do so.

Sorry. I think we can do better than this here at Lemmy. Again, this is not an attack. Perhaps just a reminder.

I too have this issue, and I use a similar solution.

Case in point, for those asking for examples: exporting Reveal.js slides to PDF. Never works on Firefox (my browser of choice). Solution? Any chrome based browser.

OS: Linux, Arch (updated).

It’s crazy to think that this level of intrusion is considered fair game. The way these behaviors are normalized is completely dystopian.

Long press the enter/return button (round, with an left point arrow). It’ll show you the emoji and clipboard buttons. 💡

Alternatively, you can turn on the dedicated emoji button on OpenBoard’s preferences.

You can also long press the comma button. There you’ll find the preferences and emoji buttons.

I’m so thrilled right now! I’m already typing this reply on OpenBoard and I’m loving it.

Gboard was also a big hurdle to my need to degoogle my phone. But not anymore!

Thank you so much. You’ve brighten my day. I’m both happy for knowing this and for finding about it on the fediverse.

Vorta (Borg GUI). It’s simple to use.

Here’s my point. We live under global capitalism. It’s just how things are, right?

And capitalism, just like, say, life, has its ways. It creates an environment where certain outcomes are more likely than others.

Making an observation about it does not make me partial to other systems. I have no such preference. What I observe is just that capitalism, just like life, always finds a way—its way.

I heard someone mentioned the danger of using CRISPR to make better soldiers. It’s crazy, right? But why isn’t crazy to tinker with a tree? Yes, it may make those trees a better product. And all seems good. But once you do that to the tree, and it becomes profitable, the incentive is there to make that true for everything else.

I think it’s dumb because such power (CRISPR) should be treated with great care. Curing a disease? Go for it. But be careful. Now, to make a better product? I dunno, it just rubs me the wrong way.

Perhaps I’m not seeing the whole picture. Or maybe I should take some bioethics class again.

But whatever may be the case, my point is not there all proletariat the world over should unite.

Capitalism always finds a way…

From all the uses one could find to CRISPR, this is probably one of the dumbest.

Arch Linux. Because… it’s rock n’ rolling!
