Cool.

But the reason you're being downvoted, is that instead of commenting this, you made a comment that sounded like you were dismissing the dangers of PFAS, and dismissing it as the modern-day equivalent to lead, asbestos, and the like.

Which is what it is, and you clearly agree that it is.

Maybe lead with that, instead of the conspiracy angle.

Did you at some point read about how some of them, such as the ones used in frying pans, are unlikely to cause problems in the human body, and then completely stopped looking into it further?

It's a massive group of compounds, some of which currently look to be quite safe, but a significant number of which also have fully verified dangers (especially some compounds required for production).

Obviously. It too does wine environment management. But it's meant for games, and for wine specifically, Bottles is just nicer.

Lutris is massive overkill if you just want run the windows version of python in order to compile python code to windows binaries. Not to mention it just isn't as slick in terms of UX as a wine manager.

It's not a catch-all game launcher.

It's a wine environment manager. And it is becoming increasingly good at simplying the complexity of setting up wine bottles for different things.

It's basically winetricks on steroids, with a really nice GUI to boot.

Running windows games is just one use-case.

It is. Along with PFAS.

Does the US have citizens iniatives?

This isn't just a change.org petition. In the EU (and a lot of member countries) theres a system for citizens initiatives, which have the same or similar legal weight as laws proposed by legislators.

That doesn't mean the proposed laws get passed, but it does mean the people can bypass the politicians in order to at least get something onto the starting line.

I can't knock you for spreading the word. You gave me an excuse to mention the lemmy community, too.

There's still enough manufacturing in the US for it to be top anything?

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Yes, I'm a mod over on !titanfall@lemmy.world.

It's pretty quiet, but I'm also one of the people committed to hosting northstar servers until the heat-death of the universe. Ever played on a MENTAL server?
