and I’m so amazed how well it just works with proton.

Yeah dude!

I'm relatively new to Linux, so I don't really have any experience pre-proton. But I get the feeling that there are TONS of people who haven't tried it in years, that truly do not understand how far it has come. I'm sure they've heard that before, etc., but I can say that it's 100% true this time.

If you haven't tried gaming on Linux since before the Steam Deck came out, I implore you to give it another shot. Even better if you use a gaming-oriented distro (I'm on Bazzite now, and it has been wonderful).

Admittedly, I don't play any games with anti-cheat, but my linux gaming experience over the past two years or so has been outstanding. I don't believe I have encountered a single game that I have wanted to play, but could not. And 99.9% of them work without any tweaking required.

This comment conflates jail and prison as if they're the same thing, and they are not. It's an important distinction.

They probably don't have the resources for name tags...

I know you were making a joke, but it is foolish to believe for one second that this wasn't done intentionally as a form of dehumanization and public humiliation.

Does it really matter so much that the IDF writes a number on their forehead, when they’re also bombing children? Is a marker really a greater evil than a bomb?

Yes, it really matters. Both things matter. Do we have to make "Israel war crime" tier lists before determining if we should care about something? It's all awful. And it's all inter-related anyway. This is the type of dehumanization that allows IDF soldiers to murder so many women and children without remorse.

And I could see someone who does not have an understanding of history, and the historical context around this level of dehumanization, could not fully grasp the symbolism here.

But yes, this is something that we 100% should be talking and worrying about.

Right, but I wouldn't call those places "prisons," and even if they once were, they ceased being such when they started using them as fucking black sites to torture people

No fun allowed!

"The Travises' shared given name." I think off the top of my head, I'd probably pronounce it like "Traviseses."

I think the context in the quote is enough to know exactly what was meant without having to add an extra "es"

I'm in the US, and all of my cards have the numbers on the back now, and they're not raised. I'm pretty sure we transitioned to chip and pin like a decade ago.

They're prioritizing profits. This is just capitalism working as intended.

Always the egg.

I've never read this, and I don't know if it's even a song or a poem or what... and yet somehow, I get the feeling that they're lyrics to a TOOL song.

I came here to say this... that shit is insane.
