  • People Make Games reported them 3 YEARS AGO.

    nothing was done then. Probably same thing is going to happen here. MAYBE roblox gets slightly better modderation, but i doubt it. The inceased modderation could also make the game unplayable for innocent users.

    Worst part is that its such a lose lose situation roblox shutting down will remove acess to alot of the hard work the child slave devs did keeping the platform alive. People are going to miss roblox join private servers and boom back at square one. Club Penguin all over again.

    I watched a bit of the content creator schlep and was honestly disapointed with how THIS type of content is what triggered this whole debacle. There have been plenty of other people exposing issues prior to this. but i guess if you put a scary thumbnail and read all the chat logs as if youre edging the whole time… whatever gets the preds off the intetnet ig I can at least be happy that people are FINALLY talking about it again.

    People have been kidnapped! For fucks sake.

    I dont think its harmful in anyway, since the bible just like any other fantasy. But there is alot of alchemic symbology and obvious references to dark topics like child kidnapping, philospher stones, ghosts, cults, curses, memetic viruses, sacrifice, suicide, reincarnation.

    In retrospect it makes alot of sense why christians dont like these games and tv shows.




  • Did you even read the whole comment?

    just stick with the free version and find free viable alternatives. Libreoffice, kdenlive, etc.

    If time is a factor and you just need a distro that “works” stick with what you have, and find FOSS alternatives for zorin. Best of luck

    I respected their time and was simply making a suggestion because zorin seems scummy locking default features behind a paywall.

    Most distros come with a built in software downloader. If you consider it “work” to type kdenlive and click download ive got nothing else to say to you.



  • Zorin itself is foss but paying for features like themeing and software Is imo against the spirit of linux, they should, (again imo) release zorin pro as the default and simply accept donations. Like most distro maintainers. Even more frustrating, is the advertised features are just normal features and software readily available for free on other distros being paywalled. Its very likely that a user could get all of the listed features on the free version without paying. I also misread the website, ms office and adobe premier are not even what is included. In fact they do not list the specific names of the alternatives that they use in the pro version. I would bet that the pro version Has all foss software that is being hidden behind the price tag. I will do more quick research and edit this comment if that is the case.

    Edit: Yeah i nailed it, its all foss software available through most package managers or flatpak heres a list.

    Additional Software Included in Zorin Pro: Office & Productivity:

    LibreOffice: A comprehensive office suite compatible with Microsoft Office/365 documents: https://www.libreoffic…​

    Scribus: A desktop publishing application: https://sourceforge.ne…​

    Graphics & Multimedia: Krita: A powerful, open-source image editing and painting software: https://krita.org/

    Inkscape: A vector graphics editor: https://inkscape.en.so…​

    Blender: A free and open-source 3D creation suite: https://www.blender.org/​

    GIMP: A free and open-source image manipulation program: https://www.gimp.org/d...​

    Evince: A Gnome document viewer: https://apps.gnome.org…​

    Foliate: A simple and lightweight e-book reader: https://flathub.org/ap...​

    Kdenlive: A non-linear video editor: https://kdenlive.org/e...​

    Darktable: An open-source digital photo management and editing tool: https://www.darktable…​


  • ALL of the listed features from zorin pro have free alternatives, unless you really want microsoft office, screen sharing, adobe premier, etc… just stick with the free version and find free viable alternatives. Libreoffice, kdenlive, etc. How did you land on zorin to begin with? Most new users are recommended to use fedora, ubuntu-gnome, and linux mint. To me, just looking at zorins website they do not share the most basic principles of the linux space (being free and open source). I highly recomend switching, if you could run

    echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

    This will output the name of your display manager like gnome, kde, etc. The version of zorin you are running is more than certainly using a popular one. Just find a distro that uses the same one. And your user experience will be almost exactly the same. Zorin might have some QOL features but definitely not anything you couldnt implement yourself.

    Feel free to reach out here for more help if you run into any brick walls. You already dual booted your pc so i have faith that you have a pretty good grasp on what you are doing. If time is a factor and you just need a distro that “works” stick with what you have, and find FOSS alternatives for zorin. Best of luck


  • honestly, I like your perspective better, its way less depressing than how I normally view people. Its still sad to know that people dont praise eachother or themselves enough. but at least from your viewpoint the people I deemed weirdos are not the monsters I percieve. It gives everyone room to grow, Where as im generally more interested in myself. Praising others, Is definitely something I should work on.

    I feel bad now, but when I see people practicing basic decency I generally see it as “the bare minimum”, When obviously thats not the case. Your perspective is very much appreciated, Thank you!


  • but for most tend to exaggerate enormously what other think of ourselves and the truth is, no one cares much.

    This is true, but for most people with S.A.D. they were frequently exposed to people who DO care. Family for example constantly commenting on your looks and demenor can have a lasting impact on someone. I was lucky enough to become more rebelious and anti-conformist. but some like my SO, are constantly worried about what others think because its so engrained in them that the people around them are making snide comments to them or behind their backs.

    For me, and what im trying to get her to understand. Is that “indifference” is paramount. Its a difficult thing to do but becoming indifferent to the opinions of others is way more powerful than attempting to believe something that isnt always true (that noone cares much). Truth is we are constantly surrounded by wierdos who take a single look at another person and make 1000 judgements.

    I find it to be a way more powerful tool to just think about how sad they are, how lonely they must feel, how every foul word is likely a projection of their own lack of self worth. Shrug my shoulders and walk away. Sadly children are not given the opportunity to “walk away”. Especially in the case of parents and family.
