comfy actually summs up a lot of my critcisms of the instance perfectly. In a word, it really is like everything I hated about reddit.

Block early and block often. Probably the best decision I ever made was blocking lemmy.world from my feed.

Really fucking stressed and hoping I can escape the country before I get killed.

Considering a lot of us were projecting that the U.S. would begin arming Russia and the war would end quite dramatically in Russia’s favor? Yeah no change is a massive silver lining.

As I was sitting at my desk with some tea and a stroopwaffel, one of my coworkers commented that I “really knew how to live.”

My company has zero wait times and is a non-profit that gives money to children.

It’s the callers. There are a lot of people who are genuinely terrible and seem to feel like it’s okay to treat anyone they think is beneath them as terrible, to say nothing of the insane sexism/racism that people like to spew.

Here comes the boom!

So there’s this state in the United States called Ohio, and it’s generally one of the worst places to be. If you’re “in Ohio” or “feeling Ohio,” you’re feelin bad.

Damn that’s some real frontier-pushing science. I’m not sure if I’m comfortable teaching my cats how to use a torch though.

No, you’re a human. All of us have generally done shitty things, especially when we were teenagers and were exceptionally shitty versions of ourselves. You’re not “marked by sin” or whatever religious nonsense some people like to say, none of what you did then has to define your present or your future. If anything, feeling bad about the things you did in the past shows that you have grown up, learned some empathy, and become a better person.

If it was just one extra manual step, it’d be fine. In my experience working with Nvidia drivers on Mint and later Ubuntu, it’s more like 15 extra steps and some things still don’t work. Sure, it’s better than dealing with Windows 11, but from my experience it has not felt like less hassle than getting games running on Windows 10. Maybe that’s just an Nvidia issue, and I certainly would love to upgrade to an AMD system for better Vulkan support, but that’s not happening anytime soon.

III. Little Jimmy doesn’t really need to, because the amount of times that windows update completely bricks your drivers is pretty low. You’re clearly overestimating the driver issues that people experience with Nvidia or otherwise on Windows. Neither myself nor any of the people I know have ever experienced any significant driver-based issues while playing on Windows, and the truth is that the vast majority of Windows users do not even need to know what a graphics driver is to be able to easily play games on Windows.

Yeah it’s great that AMD support seems to be great and I agree that Nvidia sucks as a company, but I’m not the one claiming Linux is the greatest gaming system.

Biggest one is going to remain gaming. If anything, I’m beginning to feel like Steam Proton is starting to harm Linux gaming efforts more than helping them. I’ve known games that have dropped native Linux support because “It works on Proton!” only for the game to not actually work on Proton.

If we could get to a world where every game could actually be run on Linux with minimal hassle, maybe then you can beat the drum that there’s no point using Windows. Until then, it’s going to remain the OS for gaming.

until you wanna play games on it, at which point you start running into driver issues…

unironically my friends absolutely discuss limited time food nonsense and try all the weird foodcrimes fast food companies commit.

I don’t think we’re close enough to talk about what cartoon characters we wanna fuck

My mother went all in on this philosophy, to the point that growing up I wasn’t allowed to have hobbies or be in extracurriculars unless I was planning to monetize them. The only thing it did was kill my self-worth and make me feel like all hobbies are inherently pointless, because the vast majority of people will never be able to make money on them. It’s such an insane, toxic ideology.

too out there?

Not even a little bit. I’ve seen a lot of children’s names at my job. At the very least, I can pronounce Zenith, and it would fit our database’s size limitations, so I think it’s a better name than some of the wilder ones.

Going to guess America, since all of those rules apply for dealing with U.S. police. If you call them, you have to expect someone to die.

It’s probably from playing wayyyy too much of Mirror’s Edge as a kid, but I always romanticized the idea of a courier.

What’s the CCP’s stance on femboys? Are we allowed to corrupt fragile heterosexuality?
