World News@lemmy.world•'We are going to run the country': Trump says U.S. will govern Venezuela until there's a 'proper transition'English
3·16 hours ago“They will be in awe of the American greatness! New jobs for the poor stupid people of Venezuela! Liberated by capitalism!”
- Trump’s mind, probably
I’m sure he’s so old, racist, and a psychopath that he doesn’t really realize there’s millions of living, thinking humans down there

I don’t understand how after listening to him talk you can think “yes the us is running Venezuela now”
A president has attacked a sovereign nation with no authorization from Congress, kidnapped its head of state for no other reason than “making money from oil” and uhh drugs I guess. But legitimacy of the whole thing aside, do you think he’s competent enough to “run” a whole other country?
And how do you imagine the average Venezuelan is taking this? “Oh welp guess we are ‘run’ by the Americans now, better go apply for a job at Exxon”

7·16 hours agoPsst, “nothing ever happens” people… This is where nothing cannot happen. I already can’t believe all the times he got away with ignoring the constitution, but no matter what your political alignment is, this cannot stand. He fucking can’t just bomb a country and kidnap its head of state, so that “the biggest oil companies in the world can make money” – that’s an (almost) direct quote from Trump.

4·17 hours agoHe can declare it, but will they really? Neither Venezuelans nor Americans want this, “running a country” is not like running a casino Donnie. Not that you can do that either.

Then why keep going on about distractions?
“My president is bombing innocent people, I bet he’s only doing it to distract us from him being a pedo” is not the enlightened stance you think it is

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•PC Gamer: "I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop"English
3·2 days agoSome have native Linux versions, while the rest can be “translated” (not strictly emulation, but the concept is close enough) via Proton, a translation layer that Valve introduced with the Steam Deck, which is itself running (arch btw) Linux. I’m not sure what the split is in the catalog, but the steam deck verified list serves as an indication for Linux (for Arch, at least) compatibility in general.
This is true for both Steam and non-Steam games - the developer or publisher might offer a native Linux version, but packaging is always a mixed bag. This proton trick allows you to run the Windows version with the same compatibility it would have on the steam deck, no matter where it came from.

How sad
They really don’t. Look into home assistant, there’s no reason the network packet controlling your light bulb needs to go across the internet at all!
I don’t mean to sound dismissive but I don’t think I’ve ever had that happen, except if I forgot to

pip install --break-system-packages? :D

Why is this over river scenery lol
Unironically my most headache-free Linux experience in 10+ years. The handful of times an update doesn’t go through you just need to visit the homepage and follow the manual intervention steps outlined in the announcement.
At least, once I freed myself from Nvidia x)





Good on you, don’t let bombing and invasion of sovereign countries distract you
