I have never read or watched Rent-a-Girlfriend and don’t plan to change that. But this series has given me quite a bit of enjoyment indirectly.

The best way to consume Rent-a-Girlfriend is to just read the discussion threads on Reddit. It’s a bunch of people trapped in an abusive relationship with a piece of media that almost no one is genuinely enjoying.

But how will it affect the trout population?

I may be cis, but I am tramsgender.

I find myself in an interesting situation because I want to abolish copyright and institute UBI. I don’t really think you can “steal” images on the internet, but seeing OpenAI whine about intellectual property now does bring some schadenfreude.

Look at the account that posted this. I’m pretty sure Leon just makes shitposts.

Is it? It looks right to me.

I kind of have to agree. This does remind me of the law of attraction bullshit pushed by The Secret and the like.

Honestly, a part of me is wondering if this is a case of malicious compliance. Like, did one of these evil motherfuckers offload the task of drafting this onto someone with a human soul?

It’s amazing how quickly they were able to burn all of their credibility in the past few years.

I suspected as much, but didn’t bother digging. Thanks for confirming.

Pseudonymous, not anonymous. And yes, trust is an important factor in any community, including one dedicated to shitposting.

Especially a community that aims to be a safe haven for queer people who may be marginalized elsewhere.

Well, shit… 196 was probably the core of my feed, and my instance doesn’t federate with .world.

I’m using Proton/WINE/GNU/Linux.

Uh… Does the username “Anders Holmvik” have anything to do with Anders Breivik, or is that just a normal Scandinavian name?

World users

Ah. I think I see where the problem is. I believe my instance defederated from lemmy.world a while back.

I use Proton for Steam and Bottles for everything else. I was using WINE as a catchall term, since all of these technologies are fundamentally built on top of it.

I can only speak from personal experience, but NVIDIA with Wayland has been an absolute mess. My system seems to be stable right now, but there are still weird graphical glitches and artifacts when running games through WINE. Every third or fourth driver update seems to break something.

Also, I’d generally be skeptical of claims that the drivers work well due to “benchmarks.” A benchmark isn’t going to tell you that, for example, certain window elements fail to render entirely until you drag the mouse over them, at which point they suddenly flicker in.

for not supporting Kamala

That’s wild. I’ve never heard that take and have a difficult time believing that it is common.

opposing Liberal Democracy

What alternative were they in favor of?

Maybe I’m in a bubble, but I have yet to see anyone who’s not genuinely a tankie being accused of such.
