  • Steam Link for Non-Steam games on Wayland? (Linux)

  • Apparently the dev got banned. The reason is unclear and I would love to understand the other side but this is on their Github.

    I got kicked from Moonlight and Sunshine's Discord server and banned from Sunshine's GitHub repo literally for helping people out. This is what I got for finding a bug, opened an issue, getting no response, troubleshoot myself, fixed the issue myself, shared it by PR to the main repo hoping my efforts can help someone else during the maintenance gap.

  • Thanks I will look into it. I didn’t know stuff like this even existed lol.

  • bruh 1200 sq ft of carpet area is considered as a luxurious apartment in India. you can easily fit a family of 4 people in there and a guest or 2 for a couple of days. We live in 2 bedroom 850 sqft carpet apartment which now is getting congested with 5 people.

  • There should be a limit on how many sq.ft of home a human can own. If not, tax the hell out of the additional sq.ft. A Family of 4 doesn't need more than 1200sq.ft of carpet area (approx 3 bedrooms, 1 kitchen and 1 living room house) and that can be done in 2 floors.

  • Millions of children and teens lose access to accounts as Australia’s world-first social media ban begins

  • The other kids with socials will be more likely to have mental health issues than the kid who doesn't even if they get excluded from that group. There will be other group of kids with no socials as well. They will always find a tribe.

    I don't know about the west, but Indian schools don't allow phones to be carried at all in their backpacks or pockets so maybe that's why I might not know how serious this issue of isolation is in the west but in India it won't be an issue because schools are 4-7 hrs long and after that parents usually send the kids to daycare, private tuitions, sports group, or any other hobby coaching that the kid is interested in. But some parents are absolutely stupid — they just give toddlers a phone or a pad just so they won't have the hear the toddler crying.

  • You are assuming that kids read stuff on the Internet. They don't (and even if they do, it is very little). Most of their screen time is social media or games.

    you don't like your kids spending too much time reading books?

    Tue to some extent. Doing just one activity for a long time even if you love it is not good for developing your brain and the body as a kid. Even though they might not want to, I would encourage them to do more stuff as a parent.

  • Pretty vague but let me make the best out of it. I'd rather prefer my kids to physically explore the world and socialize rather than forming opinions of it and the society through an echo chamber on a 6 inch screen. It is more setting up to be a better human being (if not successful) than a failure. Most of social media is nothing more than following your favorite creators. Staying in contact with your friends is as easy as asking for their number or their home address so they can actually talk and socialize — you absolutely don't need social media for it (you will only need, at most, Instant Messaging apps).

  • I mean there are other social activities — Sports, Reading clubs, etc. It is not as if the world didn't socialize before social media. Bullying is not a new problem. Kids should be comfortable enough with their parents to share (which social media addiction doesn't allow) that they are being bullied and not with random stranger online who doesn't give a fuck anyways.

  • Although I agree that children should not be using social media at all, banning is not the solution. It should be for the parents to let their children use social media or not and if they should be using smartphones at all. If I were a parent I would give my kid a dumb phone just to call and sms (and maybe play snake). If they were to go on a trip, I would give a smartphone without any Appstore — just a dumb phone with parental restrictions, secure messenger like Signal (even Whatsapp if needed) to allow keep in touch with us and friends and any coordinators on that trip. If they were to use social media, it would only be on a Linux PC/Laptop.

  • Ikr I was in a similar debate. I just gave up. I was going to type this — usually said when a person just doesn’t like to find a middle ground and keeps screaming that they are right:

    “ठीके बाबा. तूम्ही महान, आम्ही लहान. तुम्हाला चार पाय, आम्हाला दोन पाय. तुम्ही गाढव आम्ही माणूस.”

    Translation: Ok bro. You are great, I am not. You have 4 legs, I have 2. You are a donkey, I am a human.

  • Sure capitalism has blood on its hands. But pointing to capitalist deaths doesn’t erase the catastrophic death tolls under communist regimes. It's not a competition of “which ideology killed more,” it’s about which system actually functions without collapsing or requiring authoritarian control.

    You can control capitalism with regulations. Communism historically only survives through force and collapses when markets are removed.

  • Both sides are the same

  • Yes, capitalism as a formal economic system is recent but the behaviours it’s built on aren’t. Competition, territorial control, hoarding for security, unequal outcomes all of these exist across nature (including humans). Lions fight for dominance, trees compete for sunlight, squirrels hoard food. Resource competition is older than any ideology.

    Communism, on the other hand, assumes sustained large scale human cooperation without hierarchy, which has never existed stably either outside small tribes where scarcity was low and populations small. Scaling that to millions is where it collapses.

    I’m not defending status quo. I support regulated capitalism with social welfare (centre-left). Capitalism needs checks, not abolition. Meanwhile Communism needs human behaviour to fundamentally change.

    One system builds on instinct and incentives and the other demands we override them entirely.

    That’s the difference in feasibility.

  • Both sides are the same

    Jump

  • Praising few successes shouldn’t mean ignoring the other side i.e repression, shortages, lack of political freedom, stagnation, mass emigration and the fact that the USSR collapsed under its own economic structure.

    We don’t have to choose between “uncritical communism” and “unchecked capitalism.” I’m centre left. I believe in a regulated market, social safety nets, labour rights, universal healthcare/education and checks on corporate power without abolishing private enterprise, scientific development or democracy. Capitalism with strong regulation has lifted millions from poverty too.

    I’d rather live in a system that mixes market efficiency with social protection not one that sacrifices freedom and innovation for state control.

    That's my final comment and I won't be reading anything further. Thanks.

  • Ok the USSR did pursue collective security through Litvinov, helped the Spanish Republic when most democracies stayed neutral, and tried several times to form an anti Nazi front before the West shut the door.

    But at the same time, it’s hard to overlook that Molotov-Ribbentrop included a secret protocol dividing Eastern Europe and the Red Army did enter Poland in 1939 and annex those territories, followed by mass arrests and deportations. Even if those regions had large non Polish populations, the incorporation wasn’t a liberation but a was state occupation under Moscow.

    So I think both things can be true: the USSR was strongly anti fascist in the 30s and tried to prevent war, and also, once diplomacy failed, it chose realpolitik by cutting a deal with Hitler, partitioning Poland, and expanding westward until 1941. The switch to the Allied side happened only after Barbarossa, not out of ideological unity but because Germany attacked.
