For downvoters: China has no global "social credit system". There was one medium-small city that implemented what we imagine for a bit (though with the harshest punishments being things like inability to purchase luxury train tickets, not imprisonment like the propaganda says), but abandoned the project. There is a "social credit" or "public trust" system that has pretty wide adoption, but in almost diametric opposition to the Western propaganda, it's not for keeping tabs on citizens, but rather government officials and contractors, to ensure interagency knowledge of any impropriety. I.E. precisely the sort of system that would help prevent a cadre of hacks and conmen from infiltrating government agencies and abusing them for personal gain.

You're getting this on Lemmy? I would guess that a majority of those are tongue-in-cheek. "Get a job" is definitely something that gets said unironically by assholes, and maybe "stop being poor" if they're really trying to make you feel like shit, but the latter and especially any mention of bootstraps are nearly ubiquitously used as shorthand satire these days, double especially in any even vaguely left-leaning spaces.

Kingdom Death: Monster 1.6 is listed as $400 retail.

Nice, came here to mention Sacrifice! A remake would go so hard, but I don't think it'll ever happen.

TLJ is also solid.

Umm, what I said: the updates happen faster. If you have a GPU maybe you should try it?

If you're on a high-refresh display, the GPU acceleration allows for much faster updates. Makes it feel much smoother. It's of course not needed, but neither is a lot of stuff we do.

Uhh, switching terminals is nothing like distro-hopping, that's a ridiculous analogy. You might need to configure the new terminal, but that's it, and there's no cost or conflict.

I love foot. The only caveat is that it's only for Wayland (no X support).

Stray was so mid... If it didn't have cute cats it would have been forgotten instantly.

I was most flabbergasted by the fact that you never hunt anything!! What a miss! How do you make a game where you play as a cat without any stealth stalking of prey??

GNOME is more keyboard-focused than KDE. It just also happens to have much better touch support.

Get this meme to /linuxsucks where it belongs.

Still the best browser to support, still the best hope of defending open web standards from Google. Call me when they implement the ads in an onerous way.
