  • Can we just agree that

    YES, right extreme state of Israel = bad

    NO, not the whole religion and all Jews are therefore bad (at least not more than other religions) ?

    Extremely annoying that political criticism and religious hate always get mixed up (partly on purpose).

    I don’t like murica government, doesn’t make me anti christian, I don’t like Iran government, doesn’t make me anti-muslim, I don’t like israel- government, doesn’t make me antisemitic.

    Also: I don’t like how easy nonscientific believes such as religions can be used as tools to crowd control

    Talk about ideas, deeds, actors and political regimes, not about people grouped by religions, ethnicity or looks and you have a much more productive discussion.



  • Na klar, mir gehts grad ähnlich, aber ich versuche mir klar zu machen, dass auch wenn die Dinge gerade schwer sind, ich die schöne Zeit dennoch genossen habe und mit jedem auf und jedem ab persönlich wachse und und besser ausgestattet bin für alles was da noch kommen mag.

    Es ist okay Gefühle zu haben, es ist okay, wenn es einem schlecht geht, es ist okay, wenn es einem mal alles zu viel ist und es ist okay sich auszusprechen und sich Hilfe zu suchen. Du bist nicht allein!








  • In german its easier

    “schreibschrift” (writefont) = handwritten joined letter where you seldom lift the pen

    “Druckschrift” (printfont) = singular letters (handwritten and printed)

    “Kallgrafie” (calligraphy)= particularly nice font (mostly reffering to handwritten joined letters

    “Kursiv” (cursive) = angled petters like this (engl. Italic)




  • For testing try the live USB sticks Just flash them to an empty stick with programs like etcher, then power dowb and select the stick in your bios (usually reachable by hammering f1, f2 or Del while starting

    (Remember that performance will be much better when installing it for real compared tusing running it from a stick though)

    Dual boot will work and is not that hard to setup, but you should back up all your data before trying it.

    Also when dual booting to avoid duplicates etc I have all my documents and stuff on a USB stick, so I don’t have a version in my win and a version iny linux. Cloud works as well


  • Yes, ez one (if you have installed operating systems before and know how to paste an error passage into google ) -4hours and your done start to finish. (Given you have standard hardware and don’t want to set up something crazy like dual boot with raid and nas)

    Moderate complexity if you have never done anything like that, plan 2-6 evenings to get it fully working with everything you need

    Also: consider your scopes. For most cases Linux will just work, you just have to get used to some different interfaces.

    BUT: some things will not run under linux no matter how hard you try --> google if stuff you can’t live without will work

    (for me I still have a dual boot windows for playing league of legends and running my vive wireless adapter, as those will not run under Linux.

    For games use protonDB

    I may be oldschool, but for people not comfortable around terminals I would suggest Debian KDE as it never breaks and the transition from windows is easy. You can do everything from GUI (clicky button interfaces)

    For the installation of steam you might need a terminal, but there are good guides online (and you really dont need to be a wizard for that) from where you can just copy paste (when searching just add your distro e.g. “install steam Debian”, and once you’ve got that running you can just run every game from within steam.

    Since Steam has done a lot of work with proton, most games just run under Linux. In steam: Install–>play

    For nearly all games not directly running, you can just force them to run with proton. It will say: “Game not compatible” in steam, you just click the gear icon on the right to open settings, go to “compatibilty” and tick “force use of compatibility layer” and select the newest proton from the drop down

    The button where steam previously said “not compatible” magically turns into the blue “install” button we all know and love. And nearly all games run with only minor inconveniences (like showing keyboard hotkeys even when playing with a gamepad) or no issues at all.

    You need to be aware that some games using kernel level anticheat (e.g. league of legends, valorant) can not and will never run on Linux, if the developers of the games don’t add the possibility.

    EDIT: for programs not related to gaming its often easier to use an alternative, if the program is not available for Linux. Most times its also more privacy foccused, open source and free

    Adobe light room --> darktable

    Microsoft office --> libre office

    Adobe Premiere pro --> davinci resolve/shotcut

    Paint/Photoshop --> gimp/davinci/dark table

    Edge --> firfox

    Notepad --> Kate

    Fraps/relive/shadowPlay --> OBS

    Etc. Pp.





  • Wrong community, did you mean AITA?

    To your point though:

    Tldr: IMHO you overreacted.

    While i am totaly on your side regarding the abolishment of car-societies, you banned/removed someone for “direct insult” who made a comment about a general group of people.

    Especially since you (and most people on the sub) don’t even argue for the point he is making fun of, this is clearly no direct insult against any particular person.

    While his comment IS stupid (IMHO) and IS a strawman argument (so doesn’t add anything to discussion but rather steer towards a direction I find non-constructive) It IS also clearly a hyperbol and IS clearly NOT directly insulting a particular person.

    So even if I share your annoyment regarding such people, I think you went full reddit mode and abused your powers. Just my humble opinion, feel free to disagree

    While I find it legitimate to ban people who repeatedly only derail and insult for the fun of it, I don’t think banning people not getting the point or using graphic language fosters a good discussion culture or gets anyone to change their views or educate themself but just leads to a circle jerk. The point when to assume someone is acting in bad faith is not easy to define, but especially if this is a oneoff its definitely not reached in my opinion.

    While you can mod your sub this way, I don’t think it helps for reaching our goal and its not the moderation I would like to see.

    judgment: PTH(uman)
