These people whinge so much about children not reading anything inappropriate then line up the school bus route with signs that say “FUCK” in bold caps.

Has there been any other time in history that had this much profanity littered everywhere?

I installed Bazzite earlier this month as a dual boot and have been very happy with it. A lot of stuff just worked on bootup, haven’t installed a single driver, and that’s including my AMD GPU, just installed a game, plugged in my controller, and it played. Most games seem to run better than Windows. Fullscreen mode is a lot less annoying to tab out of - there isn’t the annoying momentary black screen, tab just happens. OBS seems to finally be on the level of Windows performance, although some of my favorite extensions are Windows-only. That’s been something of an annoyance, a lot of stuff is Windows-only, but usually if I Google “[program] Linux” I’ll get a workaround or substitute. I still leave Windows installed because of anti-cheat nonsense, but I rarely boot into Windows anymore.

Kind of meandering but that’s my experience so far. Overall pretty satisfied.

Nothing short of handing them cash in person is truly a guarantee. Really depressing how it’s turned out.

Generally you should flowchart into a consistent bread-and-butter on confirm, but on a Happy Birthday or Merry Christmas you’ll want to dump meter to cash out.

Alien

The exact same movie again, with no change whatsoever. 10/10

So do you just start a conversation, list these commands, and it follows them forever? I’ve just been starting new conversations whenever I use the site.

Network Engineer was my last job, before that I was a Dispatch Technician. Neither had time to accommodate my mental health. If you’re neurotypical you shouldn’t have as much trouble as I did at least. Never let your certifications expire.

With luck I’ll have finally found a job that doesn’t end with a mental breakdown. Happened twice now. IT probably isn’t for me. No idea what to do now. Scared as hell.

“A heart that’s full up like a landfill”

No Surprises by Radiohead

Makes me think of someone who’s so empathetic that their heart is just always overflowing with thoughts of other people’s misery. It hasn’t gotten better.

Get this into app form and I could see it being popular with the Wordle crowd.

That’s quite a story.

That’s the worst part. It has gotten so miserable for both employees and customers and none of the profits made from these changes has gone back to those most affected by them.

Northerners just don’t engage if it’s not in their backyard. It’s a lot easier since there is a lower density of POC.

What I really liked about Pulp Fiction is how much better it gets in the days after you’ve seen it for the first time. A confusing mess of a story that you piece together after the fact. I enjoyed Memento for similar reasons.

Which boils down to: people want to be able to plug something in without thorough inspection.

An easy, cheap solution they could have popularized from the start would be to print something like an arrow on both the port and plug to line up visually.

My closest guess is “based in reality”.

I’ve had so many more meaningful and fulfilling conversations here on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit in the 10 years I was there.

For one thing, it feels there is so much stronger of a push here to read the article instead of just the headline. Especially appreciated when someone adds the article to the post or leaves it in a comment. TLDR bot isn’t for me but it helps.

There’s also so much less of a push to be that meme comment that hits the top. There are still jokes but it’s not this barrage of people trying to be the class clown at the expense of meaningful conversation.

But especially the bots. Holy crap the bots were making it such a headache. The same comment slightly adjusted then posted over and over as replies to top comments for karma farming. The same stolen repost on 20 slightly similar subreddits and it doesn’t really belong on half of them. Not that Lemmy would be immune to this if it were as big as Reddit but sheesh I wish Reddit cared about the quality of content. They’re fine with whatever keeps people coming back and I guess that kind of content appeals to the most people.

You might get better answers from FetLife, basically social media for “kinksters”.

Genocide. Russia is committing genocide.

Apparently there’s already a Wikipedia article about this as well.
