I played super tux kart (or any kind of cart racing game for that matter) and had a great time

hey jubliant, do you remember me? Greetings! How are you doing? (In case you do not, we had personal chat)

I consider the identity obsession of Gen Z to be mostly narcissistic self-regard. It reflects our society’s rampant individualism, where kids have become a lifestyle choice and pampered like fragile consumer objects. I don’t have any answers about how to fix any of this. Indeed I’m something of an individualist myself.

this seems a bit to harsh. As I see, most people are overly stimulated, this just makes them react a bit more visibly. This is also because of social media. Some news from other side of globe that you may have never got earlier, or weeks later, you now get that in minutes, and similarly, the friction to post is also very low, so most people feel like “raising voice”. Though I do not treat raising voices online to be equivalent to in person voice raising but that is a separate discussion. Maybe individualism is on a rise, because our lives now do not depend much on other people (it still does, now you just do not have to interact with them), so you do not hear about their problems or perspective.

Sorry, but am I known? I thought I was a huge noobie lemmy user.

thanks!

Aye, Aye sire!!!

I think what’s important is that we’re willing to learn.

(mutilating the legendary quote) “You should keep learning things from other nations. If you stop doing so, your knowledge gets stagnant and stale” - Uncle Iroh

If someone’s trying hard to pass as a gender that doesn’t match their sex, having someone misgender them feels pretty awful.

understandable. I can see that someone who might have past trauma, or something alike, it would only sprinkle salt on wounds. In my case, I am basically a slowpoke.

I am sorry to report commander, but I have no kills yet. I am definitely not an ace.

Wasn’t throwing shade.

No shade taken. I was just acknowledging my priviledge. We sometimes forget that we get a lot of things, which we think are natural and everyone has, until you meet people who do not. And it never hurts to be reminded that what you got is something not yet “normal” for everyone.

Having a voice that doesn’t match your gender identity is a great example of why you might want to tell someone your pronouns the first time you talk to them, though (if appropriate).

I have almost never felt the need to do so, in fact, I do get a bit amused by it. As I said, I do not have a notion of male/female. If someone considers me feminine, I do not feel any different. It maybe a mental thing, or again, a by product of my upbringing.

English is a pretty shitty language to learn, especially as a second language.

I used to somewhat dislike english for being confusing, but it is effectively my first language. I have read/written English more than any other languages combined (4 others) and also spoken it the most/ 2nd most. I find it good enough. Especially, since it’s lingua franca in academia

Much more clearer, thanks!

I learnt the term aero-ace in a jaiden animations vid, where she explained it, and that seemed to match with me. I have not explored my gender or sexuality yet, and have never felt the need to do so

thank you, hearing from a person of GSM definitely gives me a better perspective.

but usually there is a ‘prefer not to say’ option.

I do not like that option (it kinda feels like hiding a crime or something). But where I live, most of the time, it is just male/female/others. That still feels harsh, and kinda in line of saying all other “gender minorities” but still feels a bit blunt.

If respecting a non-trans person’s gender would be doing the same things, to you, then sure

Pardon me, but I did not understand this sentence at all. Can you please elaborate (or eli5) it?

I am sorry, but it kinda because of the cultural non separation of these 2 concepts in my mother tongue. I did explain it a bit more in another comment

Thank you, you made many things clear. I have kinda used gender and sex kinda interchangably, because in my native tounge, there is no separation. Also, most people LGBTQIA+ representation in media here mostly focused on the sex part. What you refered to as gender in your reply, is what i refered to as “orientation” in my post, mostly because that is how I have understood geneder like that till today - How do you want to be addressed, and for example, how do you dress up.

You’ve probably never felt the need to do this because (as you state) you’re male and you identify as male and your outward appearance is male

I want to ask one more thing, I have never asked/thought of my gender. When you say “you identify as male”, I do not know what that means, what does it mean to identify as a male or female or something else. As I wrote above, in my native tounge, there is no separation.

so I’m going to assume you’ve never had anyone misgender you, but not everyone is so lucky - or privileged, you might say.

As I said, I understand that I am privileged. Though I have been misgendered, mostly because my voice is quite shrill, and people often confuse me of being feminine over phones.

considering it is made by sigma aldrich, atleast a 10x markup plus your first born child

i have not tried any others (just don’t “pillage” enough). But my wild guess would be no, mostly because others do not compress that much or use freearc. fitgirl compresses a bit more than others. I prefer their repacks because of their great repuatation, large amount of seeders, and small size (i have terrible internet).

This is not a huge problem, you can still get wine builds with older lib32 implementations (for example on arch, you can check aur (and by extension chaotic aur), most other distros would have not changed yet), so you do not have to install on windows and move over.

If only I could

i will check it out, but eventually they will also drop lib32-* libs and will get the same problem. I want to solve the root problem

WoW64 is a Windows subsystem for running 32-bit stuff on 64-bit Windows. You’re talking about Wine’s implementation of WoW64 - there’s the old one which needs 32-bit Linux libraries and the new one which doesn’t.

I do know about this. to be specific, wine team since 9.0 stablised using there newer wow64 stuff (iirc, this was one of the blockers to use wine on non x86-64 architechtures), and since then, there has been aur package to play around it. I used to only use it, but receently i wanted to download a game, and faced this bug. then I reverted back to normal arch package which is in multilib repo and depends on lib32-*. Now the main arch package is using the newer wow64 implementation.

I did hint at the the fact that I did not find much in logs. I have not checked the verbose logging (which shows each dll involved, each bit of memory read, etc), but with regular logging,

0130:fixme:win:WINNLSEnableIME hwnd 00010108 enable -1: stub!
0158:err:environ:init_peb starting L"C:\\users\\sg\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\is-SE85P.tmp\\FlushFileCache.exe" in experimental wow64 mode
0158:fixme:ntdll:NtSetSystemInformation (0x00000015,0x40bb84,0x00000024) stub
0158:fixme:ntdll:NtSetSystemInformation (0x00000050,0x40bba8,0x00000004) stub
0170:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION

these are the only lines that come when actual installation starts. The installer stays stuck at at some percentage (varies depending on total game size, and size of compressed binaries)

I think it is related to freearc decompression, because at this point in installer, the various .bin files (the compressed files are named like fg-*.bin, where * is some number, they are FreeArc archive files) are decompressed when using older wine version, with this, they are just stuck. I can not C^c the proceess, I have to pkill all the running wine processes. There is something related to wine written in fitgirl faq, which also hints at replacing the dlls for this, but that does not work for me
