Congrats, this is probably the stupidest comment in this thread. And that’s an accomplishment

There’s no evidence that CSAM, real or virtual, helps reduce rates of child predation.

Assuming this is true (it’s not), that doesn’t mean it should be banned. Video games don’t reduce rates of violence, or child predation. Should those be banned too?

Not to mention that AI pedophilia could simply be creating a massive stepping stone to the real thing.

Just like violent video games, right?

Which I’ve also seen a number of people on Lemmy defend people possessing CSAM and saying they didn’t produce it therefore they aren’t the criminal.

Point them out

That is addressing your point. These people need to get psychological help.

What help do you think exists for these people? And what if CG porn is that help

If we accept CG CSAM then what else? Gore porn? Snuff? Bestiality? How about a child being sexually assaulted and mutilated by animals at the same time?

You mean CG stuff? Why would any of that be a problem? Who is being hurt?

Just pick a distro. It sounds like you want to learn. I suggest arch. It does the least for you, is the least opinionated, but also has by far the best documentation (arch wiki is the de facto linux documentation).

The difference between the distros is otherwise simply what package management tool they use, and what packages are in their repository. Nothing else is different that’s of any importance.

No don’t you understand? No one has ever had a bad experience under communism

a robust charging connector

Wtf? Usb-c charging is the best thing that’s happened to laptops this decade. You’re insane to want to go back to the bad times.

It’s possible they installed with sudo or something, which ruined the permissions. First try find /home/lewis/.steam ! -user lewis. That will show if any files got owned incorrectly. If so, do chown -R lewis:lewis /home/lewis/.steam.

Not sure this is a permission/owner issue though. My guess is /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/_v2-entry-point: 285: exec: /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run doesn’t have the executable bit. try chmod +x /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/_v2-entry-point: 285: exec: /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run.

That’s the whole point of an LTS distro. And it’s why non-rolling distros for desktop OSes make no sense

This is a perfectly civil question that is intended to make the author think about what they’re reading in the future, rather than spoon feed pure information

Why would having the build files exist suggest the package exists?

The backslash is escaping the space, and the forward slash is just how tab complete works, because it’s a directory, and you might be wanting to add more to go further down the directory tree

These are mostly terrible. Shells have built in history search

Because you’re arbitrarily restricting yourself to old versions of tools and software. The idea is you don’t want unexpected conflicts to bring down your system. But, what that means is when you do go to upgrade on something like a server, you would test the whole thing on the new version, and then migrate. That’s not how people use desktops. You just feel like one day upgrading from 20.04 to 20.10, and then get a massive burst of differences. It’s really hard to pin down what specifically goes wrong when something does.

So unless you have a staging environment for your desktop where you test the new version before migrating, then what is the purpose of running old versions of stuff?

Non rolling release distros for your desktop makes no sense.

It’s because those are terrible ideas. You’d trust your life to a fingerprint censor or nfc nonsense? I sure as fuck wouldn’t

Are you suggesting this was caused by an accident due to insufficient safety devices?

What does paying for anything have to do with what we’re talking about here. They’re ingesting freely available content, that anyone with a web browser could read

I don’t see how that’s relevant. A company can pay someone to read copyrighted work, learn from it, and then perform a task for the benefit of the company related to the learning.
