  • Couldn’t care less tbh, I’m judging murica as a whole and you pricks are gonna drag us all down with you. Say goodbye to Ukraine, cause trump is gonna stop all support for them at best, and straight up support russia at the worst. 3rd party voters that voted against genocide? Congrats, you now have much worse than a dem administration when it comes to that shithole israel.

    Fuck america.







  • God damn, you can’t even spell or use grammar properly and you get a vote. I’m not even American, and it still pisses me off that people as dumb as you exist. As much as I hate to admit it, murican elections have far reaching consequences, if trump gets in again, then that’s terrible for the world as a whole.

    Harris is by far the lesser evil, and spare me the bullshit about both sides being the same. Both options suck yes, but one is clearly less shitty for not just America, but all of your allies. Even here in Canada where a third party is actually semi-viable, there’s still basically no chance for the NDP to win sadly, let alone some random 3rd party in murica. Vote against trump by voting for Harris or support him by voting for anyone else, like it not, those are your choices.


  • I’ve been running bazzite for about 6 months now, daily driving for about 5 months and its never once broken on me. During boot, you’re presented with 4 snapshots you can choose between so if an update did happen to break something, it’s easy as just choosing an older snapshot after a reboot. No idea why that commenter thinks it’s hard tbh.

    I’m running it on a 7600x and a 6700XT GPU. Everything just worked out of the box for me, steam games work perfectly 99% of the time in my experience, and when you run into an issue just go to protondb and you’ll probably find the fix there.

    Games run through lutris can be annoying at times, the EA app and battle.net games glitch out on me much more than steam games, but they do work, just gotta tinker with proton and wine versions till it runs.

    Highly recommend bazzite, I love it after being a life long Windows user.










  • I agree completely. I don’t want anyone let alone young people getting addicted to nicotine, but a straight up ban isn’t gonna stop it. When I was a teen it was easy for me to get someone else to buy me smokes or booze or weed, just needed to pay a runners fee which was perfectly fine to me back then. Kids are dumb (so was I, no shade) they’re gonna do what makes them look cool and helps them to fit in with their peers.

    Idk what the answer is tbh, but straight up bans aren’t it. That’s just pushing it to the black market and taking away taxes.


  • Unpopular opinion on lemmy but why not? Kids are gonna get their hands on nicotine no matter how hard it’s regulated, same with booze and weed and cigarettes. Banning flavored juices just pisses off a lot of older vapers like me that have been vaping for years. I originally started to quit cigarettes, which I originally smoked for 6 years, and now 8 on the vape.

    If I wanna poison my lungs, what business is that of anyone else’s? Don’t try and give me that bullshit about “think of the children” either, they’re gonna get their hands on nicotine regardless whether that be through vaping or smoking. Vapes are the lesser evil, my lungs don’t feel nearly as shitty as they did when I was smoking cigarettes. Anecdotal obviously and there aren’t any long term studies on the effects of vaping (as far as I know at least) but I don’t lose my breath walking up a small flight of stairs the way I did when I was smoking a lot.

    You ban flavours and you’re just pushing that to the black market. Sure I could just quit but that’s insanely fucking hard and I’ve tried multiple times, and quite frankly I just don’t want to at this point. My life sucks enough, let me have my fruity vapour for fuck sakes and quit trying to ban shit, the alcohol prohibition didn’t work, keeping weed illegal didn’t stop people from getting it, you’re just taking a highly taxable product off the market. I don’t wanna smoke nasty ass cigarettes, I like my peach flavoured vape juice.

    I know lemmy has basically zero sympathy for nicotine addicts so I’m sure this will be heavily down voted but I just wanted to voice my opinion. Fuck off and let me live my life how I want to live it. Lung cancer or liver failure is basically my retirement plan since I’m otherwise gonna work until I drop dead anyways.

    Edit: But I fully support banning disposable vapes. They’re a huge waste and banning them would raise the barrier of entry for people that want to vape. I have to change my cotton every few days and change my coils every month or so, and it’s fairly easy to mess up. Even premade coils with cotton already in them are a barrier to entry, I know a 30 year old dude that went back to smokes cause he’s too lazy to buy new coils and change them when they start tasting bad.

    Fuck disposable vapes. Adds a ton of unnecessary waste.
