  • The one time I played goon of fortune I woke up in a Bush in the dunedin botanical gardens using the goonbag as a pillow. I had a ripped up shirt and jeans and it was very cold and a security man was shining a touch in my face. He drove me home, very nice guy.

    I knew I was getting old when I bought a box of goon and didn’t immediately rip the the bag out of the box.

    Its wild to me how active lemmy feels compared to mastodon. I told my normie friends about it when I found out about it during the migration and they insisted that it would die and recently I was able to update them and say its still going strong and its got its own unique vibe that feels different from reddit.




  • I would also like to see people punished for their warcrimes but considering most of the Hamas leadership is dead and Israel considers international law to be a suggestion I think there is some chance of that.

    I dont think casualties rates are relevant when considering a prisoner exchange rate.

    I’m mad here at this ceasefire because it’s an artificial end to the fighting. Its peace for the sake of peace and does not resolve any points of conflict. With no security arrangements and no sovereignty agreements the war has achieved nothing and both sides are taking 5 steps back. With no satisfactory off road provided for the Palestinian people there is no option to for them to develop and thus they will continue to repeat the cycle.

    I followed the different negotiations and there were times where both sides has reasonable proposals with 1 unagreeable part that neither side would budge off and the deal fell apart. If they had just come to an agreement on that 1 part they both could walk away with progress but instead we get this ceasefire where both walk away with nothing.



  • This ceasefire is way to generous to Hamas. Its far more than they deserve. Hamas get a ceasefire with no concessions on their end and a prisoner swap of 30-50 per 1 Israeli. The mediators say it’s likely to go through but id be very surprised if isreal accepts it.

    With no security arrangements I wouldn’t be surprised if war breaks out again in less than a year.








  • Its based on Arch packages (that are extremely out of date) and that doesn’t make it anything like arch. An arch package feels exactly the same as software packed by any other maintainer. What makes arch arch is that you start from a minimal install and choose your software. Another thing that makes arch arch is that you get the latest software updates on a rolling release. Another thing that makes arch arch is that you are responsible for your system and making sure it doesnt break.

    None of those things remotely apply to SteamOS. A distro based on another distro doesnt mean they are they same. We dont think mint is ubuntu, we dont think ubuntu is debian, we dont think manjaro is arch.

    I only push back on your comment because people echoing SteamOS is Arch causes so many issues in linux help discords with new users thinking their steamdeck is arch linux and fucking up their system and thinking that linux doesnt work because they followed an arch guide.
