Okay I didn't know Godot had a flatpak! I still really like desktop entries even when I don't have to use them. With a little experience I could write a bash script that sets up all my work and I find it cool so in the end. Overall, Linux has a ton of good stuff I really enjoy

One on one sex is rooted in patriarchal monogamy, therefore non-group sex is reactionary.

There are two cases where I needed to manually create a desktop entry, one was Intelliji Idea that starts up by running a bash script, and Godot Engine that has a single executable downloaded directly from the internet.

Thanks you for all the tips that's so cool comrade Mazov!

Write a lot, assume that 90% of what you write would make you die of cringe if someone found it. Every day you go read the slop from the days before, and you'll be able to select what's good and tweak it into something. It's a long iterative process.

You can also think really really hard about each rhyme, I do that, and I really suck ass so don't

I was trying to create desktop entries, you know, the .desktop files that are read by DEs. The usr folder is write protected so I looked how to do this specifically in immutable distros.

In fact, I realised waaaay too late that the home folder was "~". Afterwards I realised that yes, the desktop entry documentation did refer to this other folder where desktop entries can be placed, but everytime I saw a folder path starting with ~ I assumed it was some convention, like starting a command with $.

The paradox of tolerance is a semantic fallacy ffs

To tolerance as in "pain tolerance" isn't the same concept as tolerance as a synonym for "socially progressive".

"Oh you're a tolerant person? Tolerate this then punches you in the face" - extremely smart person

My experience with Bazzite

  • trying to create a .desktop entry
  • folder is write protected
  • spend three hours trying to search a solution on the internet, absolutely nobody's talking about this
  • ends up asking on reddit
  • zero upvote, gets one answer three days later
  • learn there are two folders, one is in the system the other in home
  • wow linux so easy to learn nowdays

It's written like a reddit post. Deeply unserious book

Follow-up to this thread : https://hexbear.net/post/3488157

Many thanks to everyone who helped me by writing incredible introspective, analytical and supportive things under the first thread. Some of you have been optimistic about the outcome and I'm sorry to tell you that it will not go anywhere. I feel the need to write a post for closure.

The initial situation was that the event we first met at was supposed to take place again at some point. So I thought it would be better to patiently wait so I can naturally get to know her a little more without the inherent intrusiveness of contacting her. I was however informed that this event wouldn't take place.

In two months I had time to stabilise my mood and reflect, but I traded my fiery heart for a depressed brain in the process. I just really needed an update, or the wierd longing would never end. So I concluded I had no choice but to send her a message.

spoiler(Translated from french) Hey, its [name], we met at [context] yknow. I was wondering, if you have time, would you like to get to know each other someday? I checked your [amazing project she has] btw, it's super cool, big respect

Result : no answer.

So, yeah, looks like it's over fellas. And that's alright, I'm at peace. It's good, I know now, no more longing. I would've preferred if we became friends because she's a very talented and interesting person from what I know, but I'm happy with what I have. Sadness is normal, everything is good, I'm moving on.

The only way it could be worse would be that she's a hexbear I'd be so cooked lmaoooo. (My dear, if you're reading this, please be my Kim, I'll be your Harrier)

I didn't know about "femme presenting" I'll remember it thanks!

 

As a resident of a vassal state I'm locked in a bubble of naΓ―ve liberal media coverage treating Democrats as the left. I realised that despite how evident it is for everyone here that the Dems have become increasingly rightwing with Biden and Harris, I've never found a source that bothered demonstrating it by compiling evidence.

Of course search engines are being completely useless at this, just shoveling endless trash from British and US corporate media

 

I'm not sure I should start this conversation and I've been rewriting this a lot lol. But I could use some relating and opinions from fellow internet leftists

Ok so, to keep it really simple: I happened to share a meal with somebody I really liked. I have interacted casually (no flirting) for about a dozen minutes total and we exchanged contact because of shared-interests (not dating)

Now my brain is fried

I'm thinking about her way too much and it gives be bad vibes, she probably has no idea and I can't imagine the sheer horror of realising that someone is thinking this much about you after so little interaction.

I want to be a well-behaved straight (kinda bi but that's beyond the point) guy, I'm trying to be an ally to the feminist cause, so, failing this spectacularly at behaving normally in relation to women disgust me. I know I can't remove the patriarchy from my body but I damn wish I could.
