  • Might want to boot up warpinator myself, but from their website:

    #Winpinator for Windows PC​

    For Windows users, this software is readily available for the Windows platform, allowing easy installation of both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It facilitates seamless file and folder sharing between Microsoft Windows and Linux via LAN.

    It seems like there might be a slight error in your question. It’s possible that you’re referring to “WinZip” instead of “Winpinator.” WinZip is a popular file compression and archive utility for Windows. If you’re looking for information on WinZip, you can visit the official WinZip website to download and learn more about the application: WinZip Official Website.

  • I know neither Mia nor Rimu, so I have little prejudice against either.

    Rimu clearly went overboard in the snippet, there’s no reeling that in anymore. He does sound very tired, like he’s been slighted more than once, but that was a whack example to come swinging with out of context.

    That said, I cannot label Mia’s first comment as purely good faith either. If this Rimu is a well known personality with well known peeves, and Mia was aware of this, then it would be more akin to trolling or rage-baiting. Otherwise it would simply be ignorant or unlucky.

    Either way, I’ve known neither till before this post, so I’m not gonna pretend I know what’s going on in a broader sense, nor even be as audacious as to pretend to know what’s going on in their heads.


  • Sorry, I understood it as an argument with a claim. Eg. “anyone who asks for change while providing any source of information, regardless of how flawed it is or whether the person in question even represents those whom this change might affect, is a decent person”. Claiming that “anyone who calls out other people doing so, even if the other did it in bad faith,” must be a fascist.

    That said, English isn’t my first language, so I might very well have used fallacy wrong.






  • That observation is correct.

    The problem is not the IP protocol, but rather the users (including corpos). The above were simply new “internets”, their abstinence from the IP stack were not huge concerns when I wrote the comment.

    Now, excuse my ignorance, but do the alt internets actually forgo the IP protocol, or just the IP stack? I’ve never tried running them directly on the hardware, so I don’t know if they work without the internet backbone (eg. routing via MAC and IP).

    To my understanding, they are simply layers which build on top of the IP protocol, much like clearnet itself.


  • There already exist multiple, though they obviously don’t have the same content or capacity as the clearnet, much like Lemmy vs Reddit.

    Like, there’s Meshtastic for WAN-like internet, and Yggrasil, Lokinet, I2P, etc. for multi-purpose internet.

    I’d keep away from TOR though, since that’s the most low-hanging fruit for those who want to peddle services or share content of questionable ethics (and likely soon also for children who don’t want to deal with age verification, leave it to the politicians to blow the boiler by blocking the relief valves).


  • Yes, I did indeed read the study - even before I posted my rhetorical question - which appears to be the raw numbers.

    And are you trying to tell me, that you do not have the raw numbers of motorbike-related accidents in relation to car-related accidents according to the European Commission for 2022? I find that hard to believe.

    EDIT: My bad, you meant the numbers of vehicles needed to equalize the raw numbers. Plus, the graph appears to already take relative popularity into account with the reversed relations.

    Jup. I think I’ve had some 3 actual issues the past 2 years on EndeavourOS. But the Endeavour team did a good job of warning me on Discord/RSS or at least provide tutorials and explanations afterwards.

    One of the issues was in regard to Grub (fixed by Timeshift rollback and a one-liner), one was in regard to some rogue Nvidia bug crashing the login window (fixed by Timeshift rollback and waiting a few days before updating again), and one was Nvidia removing support for GTX1000 cards and older (Nvidia, WHYYYYYYYY?!).

    For reference, I had what felt like similar annoying bugs (and much worse) on Windows 10 about every month, but without any useful support from Microsoft. :(

    EDIT: speaking of the devil. A fourth issue just popped up.





  • So you want to be able to stream Gimp and have a shared drive with your PC’s sheets, it needs to be open source and with no limitations?

    I’d just do gimp+Discord+google docs, but if you want it to be open source and all-in-one then go checkout Nextcloud. I think that’s as free as you get, if even foundry is too limiting.
