I agree with the first one. Everyone should be able to love any adult in any way shape or form they want with consent of all involved parties.

But the the relatives one runs into issues with abuse and clear voluntary consent. Grooming is an actual thing, and a much bigger potential risk if the groomer is raising you from your infancy. I would add the caveat if you really want to make it acceptable, it should only be allowed between people of the same generation, and only when they're well into adulthood.

How would you deal with violent crimes (murder, rape, abuse, things that are considered morally reprehensible by most people, regardless of religion and affiliation) without a penal system? Mob punishment?

Yeah, nothing beats parsec tbh.

For how I use my pc, everything just works. To give you a counter argument. My logitech devices just work out of the box on windows. For Linux I had to get a little specific tool. Also try installing Japanese language input on Linux. Compare how much simpler it is on windows. Linux is NOT simpler than windows in all situations. Maybe your own research methods are flawed?

I game, manage my NAS (truenas running jellyfish for media etc) , sail the high seas, and browse on my pc. I also remote into a small spare mini pc running Ubuntu server with a minecraft server on it. (Could've ran the server on windows, but wanted to tinker with Linux to learn)

It all works flawless.

Also, give me a Linux alternative for parsec that just works as well for remote gaming, both from other desktop devices as from a mobile devices.

I use popOS. Windows is still simpler

I run Linux on a small mini pc for some casual browsing.

I run windows on my main pc.

As long as some kernel anticheat (fortnite, cod, etc...) doesn't run on Linux, I won't be swapping.

30+y of windows use also makes me infinitely more comfortable with windows. All the complaints I always read about are totally moot for me (I understand the issue of privacy in windows. It's the price I pay to have an OS that "just works" for me) .

While I enjoy tinkering, Linux is a royal PITA to use if you're not used to it. I spend hours trying to figure out how to fix something that takes me 5m max in windows. I understand it's a more a me than a Linux problem. But I'm certain many people struggle with the same things.

Prayers and likes is assistance right?

A 10usd Chinese knockoff Bluetooth controller works well enough for multi-player. The true little brother experience is to play with the shitty controller.

For the steam deck, you'd have to buy 2 controllers (potentially both shitty), so the benefit for the switch is still there.

From my 12y old kids perspective:

The switch 2 plays fortnite and Mario kart. The steamdeck doesn't.

There is no difficult choice for him.

He doesn't give a fuck about anything else. Neither do his friends.

Can you give me an example of an actual modern and good FOSS game?

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago

Dutch can do the same. You can just keep slapping words together. It never ends.

100% sure they do. It would be silly not to.

 

I am running a NAS at home, Minecraft server and some other stuff.

I want to make it all easier to access by getting my own domain, both for myself and friends and family.

Will also use it for my mail address etc.

My main goal is reduce my dependency on US services for very obvious reasons.

What's a good non US dns registrar to use? Found a ton online, but it's my first time doing this and I'm a bit lost unfortunately.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.

 

I'm traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?
