My two main issues are that I don’t want to keep seeing the same post repeated again and again as I scroll, and I want to be able to find a topic and not have to wrestle with all the different communities around the same thing. I just search for a simple topic and often there’s 20 with the same name and I have to find the one that everyone’s using.
I’m not in my 60s or 70s but people that age probably remember practising what to do if a nuke lands. This went on for decades.
Lemmy’s pretty left leaning, extremely left sometimes. There was a conservative community for a while but it turned until a place to ridicule conservatives.
Maybe just start a new community, I think there are people here but a lot on here refuse to even tolerate the right.
Refusing to even talk to people on the opposite end of the political spectrum just makes you another perpetuator of the massive political divide. Do you actually think anyone’s had their vote swayed by someone who refused to even talk to them. You’re not going to bring anyone to the left by demonising the right.
This sounds like ADHD and/or anxiety.
I don’t know how you feel about your parents making that decision for you but it’s the right thing to do. Getting a job will give you experience, resilience, confidence, and if you’re lucky, a little money.
I wouldn’t but I think it depends on the culture. In Morocco people would just start chatting to people in the car next to them while they were waiting at traffic lights. They would just chat to everyone.
Me either. I use Plasma because I prefer the whole workflow but I’m fine with GNOME, it’s just a bit shit out of the box, which I think is part of the problem. It feels so much more modern and the settings menu is much better, plus all the GNOME apps feel lightyears ahead of the half-baked KDE stuff. I wish KDE would stop adding obscure features nobody uses and just work on the polish (though I think they’re doing a bit of that now with the new login screen and unified theming).
I kinda get it though. I think every single time in my life I’ve sent a document in the non-Microsoft format I’ve got a reply saying they couldn’t open it. That’s from LibreOffice and from Mac.
Now Barbie for grown ups.
It was a weird time to like computers. Nobody had an antivirus, and if they didn’t it never got updated. You’d just take floppy disks around to your friend’s house and plug them in. Windows gave everything admin rights.
To be honest, I was using a computer for about five years before the internet happened and I never got a virus.
If it’s filler then it’ll fade over time.
Tbf, most companies would do anything for a $200,000,000 government contract.
How are Anthropic left wing? I thought they were regarded as being not much better than ChatGPT?
The lines being extra bendy.
My sound is fine. However my screen is going down to 0% brightness and won’t budge.
I like the silicone ones when they fit. I have some round the ear ones for jogging and they’re great. Never budge.
I didn’t have a lot going on at that age, I don’t remember doing anything special.
If GNOME did a standard start menu style interface in 99% sure I’d be using that.
He only eats fast food on the road, when he’s at the White House or one of his own places he probably eats pretty well.
