    My first distrobution was the good old Ubuntu for a laptop that I used for school. I stuck with that for 2-3 years. During that time I really, really wanted to try out new distros, but I didn’t want to lose my files and such, so I just stuck with it. During this time I also changed my desktop’s os to Ubuntu, but I am not sure when I did it.

    After I got a Laptop due to the previous being old and broken, I tried out Arch Linux and grew to love it more than Ubuntu, so I changed out my desktop’s os to that as well when I got a new ssd and was migrating to it. I used Arch for another year or two, before my laptop had a disk failure and I had to reinstall. I installed Debian onto it, since I was feeling lazy and didn’t want to go through the mess of installing Arch again. And then later I also installed Windows on it with dualboot for games that didn’t want to work with Proton.

    So basically I now use Arch on the desktop and Debian/Windows on laptop.

    They have brought up some good points, but the good points they make are over shadowed by the whole genocide denial and “dunking on libs”.

    The following example is not meant to represent hexbear users, but to show an example of how I could see it.

    Think of a fascist who brings up some good examples of modern problems in about 1/10 of their messages, while the rest are talking about how Mussolini was actually good, since he brought up the living standard in Italy and expanded the public sector. And when someone brings up the bad things Mussolini did, the fascist just says “It’s clearly western propaganda”.

    You wouldn’t want to read their messages, since they are full of this fascist apologetic garbage, and the good points they bring up are ignored because of their other opinions.

    It doesn’t matter how good willed your opinions are if no one wants to associate with you.

    From what I’ve read depleted uranium is not proven to cause cancer, nor is it not proven (With the exception that you inhale it or eat it).

    In Iraq it’s still up to debate if it causes cancer or birth defects, since burning buildings and other burning stuff also causes a lot of nasty things to humans.

    From what I’ve read they were also used in Bosnia, and they haven’t had similiar effects to Iraq.

    So let the Ukrainians have their depleted uranium.

    Not that I know of, but it should be added in for those who don’t want to interact with people from Hexbear. If people have the freedom to block an instance for themselves it would expand the decentralization that Lemmy is built on, since people don’t have to move to those instances to block out Hexbear.

    I’ve read that blocking the Hexbear domain is a solution to this, but that isn’t a proper solution, since those who aren’t tech-literate would have a pretty hard time doing that, so a first-party solution would be the best.
