  • Currently I still find it too much of a hastle to correctly run Winblows applications, almost always relying on Lutris, Steams proton or Bottles to do the work for me.

    That’s…uhhh… that’s why they were made? So that your average Joe Schmoe, like myself and you, doesn’t have to muddle through trying to get wine set exactly right so that the windows program functions. It sounds like you’re complaining about the solution to the problem.
    I guess there could be work done to just make it so if you double click on a .exe install file in just boots whatever has the best install preset, or give you a pop up with options for lutris/proton/bottles.








  • It’s a symptom of one of the great things about America. The freedom of movement.
    Also a symptom of living in isolated conditions. As a generalisation, living in a major metropolitan area means being exposed to a load of different types of people. Can’t hate all black/LGBTQ2S+/Muslim/Asian folk when you interact with them every day.
    Unfortunately we’re pretty tribal by nature. Always looking for the other to be against.


  • Anyone who says it’s easy to get citizenship or immigration status for any western country is either lying or doesn’t have a clue.
    Depending on how things go in the States, refugee status might be doable. That said it’s looking more and more like the Tories might get in power, which means Canada might not be all that much safer…
