Its a bad time at the moment. The world is experiencing significant turmoil and you’re seeing that reflected in people’s responses. People on Lemmy are generally pretty politically aware so they are feeling the despair more than average. In more peaceful times the community was very happy and friendly and I believe it will return to that once things chill.

Its also hard to write thoughtout responses to something everyone agrees with so there only really seems to be a discussion to be had if there is also a disagreement to be had.

Thats sick, I’d love to watch ufc at a theatre.

I first got drunk at 13. It wasnt until 16 I was binge drinking around once a month and doing any drugs I could get(mostly weed). Around 22 I stopped drinking every weekend and stopped binge drinking. I wouldnt recommend it. But i dont think it had to much of an impact, except for having experienced a lot of crazy and dangerous things.

Can you install a VM without root? I assume the kids account isnt being out into a group with virtualization by default.

Maybe i got shit taste and no one wants my files haha

Kind of normal I think. I have like 4tb of stuff and people have only grabbed like 100 files off me.

Not 1 million but i can see it reaching a few hundred k. The niche topics on reddit came from average people browsing and average people will never browse Lemmy.

In my dream world linux gets massive with gamers and they seek open source alternatives and that boosts users. Gamers are pretty mixed gender and age these days so it’ll be a good batch of people. I hope America gets it shit together and stops fucking up the world because its depressing the dialogue here a lot.

I see lemmy in search results.

If you read his manifesto book its pretty poorly reasoned. He fails(in my opinion) to make a good case why anyone should oppose these things let alone fight back in the way he did. So by that alone I’d say hes wrong.

I felt the same. I feel free and like I had a new energy for life. It was a bad relationship and was depressing me.

You must have been blessed by the hardware gods. I had several scripts bound to hotkeys to fix various issues that would occur regularly and this was only 5 or so years ago. Volume would reset, wrong sink would get selected, it would crash, it would crackle, it had bad latency but most of the time it was fine.

Ive worked for them and seen how things run. Its pretty normal and non ominous. The government it department was very well run, efficient, highly skilled, good worker rights. Nothing to complain about other than salaries being a bit lower than private sector.

My mum works for a welfare department and she also echo’s that its just people doing their job and everything I said except the efficiency aspect because its a lot of face to face empathic type tasks you can’t optimise it without making it souless.

As for the political parties themselves they are directly a representative of the population. The fact that some parities are incompetent and racist is exactly what I see reflected from half my country. I look at what they say and what they vote on and it tracks pretty closely. These people all seem to think they are improving the country even the ones who are fucking it up (looking at you David Seymour and Rawiri Waititi).

But I’m lucky to live in a country with low-ish corruption.

The older I get the more I trust it. The government is generally pretty large and reliable.

Seeing random scandals and over indexing on is a common issue. People love to make shit up and lie because they have no interest in the boring truth.

Only god can verify my age 🙏

yes but how often does your internet go down? I agree with the sentiment and I hate this but we should think about this from an average user perspective when we make our argument. Internet doesnt go down, I’ve had more electricity outages than internet outages in the past 5 years. if you live in a city its a rare thing.

The reason why people shouldnt want this in my opinion is not because its day to day worse but because its worse long term. These companies will offer it at a low price to entice you then yank the rug out from under you. You will never be safe with an option like this because at any time it can be taken from you and one day there might not be an alternative market of computers to purchase.

Loving family, lots of friends, wealthy, intelligent, very cute pets.

Slackware is the ancient teacher still using chalk and a blackboard threatening to beat misbehaving kids.

My government is neel gompa

I’m pissed at how its able to license wash Foss code and peoples IP. But it seems there are no rules for American or Chinese tech companies because they refuse to legislate so ip should be completely removed. There is no way any of their IP should be respected.

What’s the gravity like on your planet? How far away is it from a sun? How many moons does it have.
