Yeah, peripherals lol. All my sim stuff is working brilliantly in Linux, however I still have some audio production stuff I need Windows for. Unfortunately, due to the need for minimal hardware latency and all that, Wine and VMs aren’t an option. Also a lack of drivers for some midi devices sucks.

Certainly increases the chances for strokes.

I like my PC being my PC. The more it does things I don’t ask of it or tell it to do, the more I will seek alternatives.

One of the most frustrating parts of MS products these days is that you’re just along for the ride. And unlike Apple which is just the same, MS has far less intuitive behaviour or method. I would say their products are for beginners or those not tech literate, but the failure rate and amount of complex troubleshooting required for MS products and environments are easily the most challenging and frequent. It does not help that Windows Update constantly introduces new issues to the OS and other software while undoing any previous workarounds.

That company doesn’t get to touch my stuff anymore. It’s like trusting your car to a four year old.

Since this is just a picture with a “scientists” statement, which are usually false facts …

Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer.

I’ve never bothered because less than 1% of my time I’m looking at the sys UI, let alone the desktop.

Proving even on Lemmy, you and me are extremly prone to propaganda.

Uuuuh… This place is a breeding ground of heavily biased propaganda. Just look at your feed, it’s all news articles reinforcing a side of things. It’s got its fair share of users that don’t look at things from a broad perspective and most get mad when they perceive their opinion is being challenged, even when it’s not. That’s why it’s riddled with posts that aren’t for interest; they’re rooted in agenda that is to either push narrative or reinforce ego.

And if your filter lists aren’t full of users, communities, and instances, it’s very plausible your mind my be one that’s easily duped, because the shits got to be one of the most obvious places on the internet to spot it. Part of the Lemmy experience is maintaining and customising the feed.

Yeah. Immigration and emigration are really normal innocent terms to sort of explain populus as a commodity around a country’s borders. Social, economical, skills, etc. They’re just normal things countries enact to increase, decrease, or balance depending on their internal situation. And that’s entirely reasonable because it’s the only thing in place that kind of controls our species’ population to secure itself and all the shit we impact on ourselves and the environment.

So, it makes sense for a country to open up when it can sustain or needs more people. It’s like leaving the door open, “Come on in, please.”

In other times, it’s to prevent damage like, “Sorry, we’d normally love to have you but we can’t afford it right now unless you’re bringing your own beer.”

The US, right now, with it’s low employment rate and Trump’s dreams of being self-sustaining in many industries, guess what? The US needs to open up its borders BIG TIME for that and needs to incentivise it for that scale too.

But to many Americans, “immigrants” does not mean that. Could b the smartest motherfucker out there, but they don’t care you’re a dual PhD holder and know four languages, you have an accent and your skin isn’t white; you’re a fucking “immigrant” lol.

Society is a weird plague that always gets the better on humans.

That’s any smart device. Unless you’re the one.doimg the updates.yoirself, they will all become obsolete as technology evolves. This is the case here too; sounds they just don’t have enough people using them to justify figuring out how to keep them working as new devices and platforms roll on. 9.5 years is an alright run, comparatively.

If it’s a PC, just grab another drive and install Linux now. Swear to god, you’ll naturally and very quickly just not boot to Windows again. It’s like…

Day 1: Install Ubuntu. Drive around, do stuff, learn.
Day 3: Install a different distro like Mint or whatever. Drive it around.
Day 5: Install the one you ended up liking most. All these installs take like 10 mins top btw, so go nuts.
Day 10: You havent used Windows except maybe for your work’s 365 stuff. All you games, programs, etc. are on Linux now.
Day 14: Wipe the drive Windows is on and reinstall it on a shrunk partition. Only install your stuff for work or just leave it default.

And that’s it. Yourself free, but it’s still there if ever have to use it for something. You’ll groan when you do though. And if you do WFH with work 365 stuff, the best part of the day is logging off and booting back into Linux. It’s like the relief of coming home from work but you’ve been home all day.

Have done similar in high altitude. It’s great for when the gloves come off starting a fire. I’m against the one-use heat packs and don’t take electrics besides nav, light, and beacon. Then once you’ve got good parameter bearings, you can pour it out in the designated “pee spot”.

Pff. Unless I know you or you’re in my area, anything after 12 on a Friday doesn’t get actioned until Tuesday due to the “Friday backlog”. A concept entirely made up while I action all the stuff coming in on Monday.

Am I manipulating my entire organisation? Sure. Has it worked over time? Certainly. The more you treat a team or department like a last minute dumping ground, well you can expect the expected results.

Edit: Oh and marking the email priority as “Important” lets us know it’s definitely not. No one leaves important shit to Friday afternoon. Go to the back of the queue.

Even in cities there are so many edible plants. Started eating the fruit of a random tree next to the sidewalk

Oh, you’d love Sparti.

Gotta pay attention on the sidewalk or you might roll your ankle on a fallen orange.

You just gave me a good idea running off the same sort of concept, but allowing for numerical characters too. Whenever I gotta do my mandatory 90 day resets, I’ll pick a song title followed by the track length in 4 digits. Make a playlist of those songs in case I’m an idiot, and I basically have the passwords written down on a notepad.

It’s trying to remember which end number I’m up to for this password.

USE JELLYF-

Be prepared for a barrage of “Jellyfin” in your comments.

Oh.

Oh, I dunno. I just had a pipe burst under the house because it froze. I don’t think a quick psh psh up the faucet was going to help lol. If I’m honest, it was my fault for being alone that night. I shouldn’t blame the plumbing.

The WD is Water Dispersant. Maybe someone’s under the impression water can “clump up” overnight.

Oh, god. Now that you’ve said it, I’ve realised there are probably some people out there that don’t understand this part of it. Could probably put money down on someone trying to explain to you that dog ears look like that when shaved…

I have a big screen because I have big thumbs and soft keyboards suck. I still have epic typos though.
