Yeah, some ppl don't get that you don't have to like Biden, to vote against trump. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

No, they just scroll thru Twitter all day

Oh, so telling advertisers to go fuck themselves DIDN'T help Twitter make money? πŸ€”

no donny, cuz states rights 🀭

pls, giving student loan debt relief instead of $10 billion to Israeli gov't is considered anti-Semitic πŸ˜”

Yeah, heard about this. Sounds so fuckin' childish and bratty. The GOP only makes sense when viewed thru the lens of a 10 year-old cry-bully.

wait, so does that mean he was never actually president?

Wait, do they know what the word innovative means?

He's right, cuz he had his fingers crossed while he was being sworn in. 🀞

My guess is that more and more people are realizing that they can still live very fulfilling lives without getting married.

I can't imagine how weird and scary it is for women to be dating right now, knowing that there are so many far-right extremist men out there, who have a high potential of being misogynistic or even violent.

I can see how some people can get trapped in a bubble of Google and FB. I hope they can realize that Google, FB, Reddit, and Twitter are not "the internet".

I stopped using FB when the timeline became useless (it was hard to filter to a specific friend or family member), and also that I no longer wanted to see updates from people I didn't even want to hear from. I have since switched to smaller and more personally curated social media platforms like a group chat or a discord server.

Sure google is a common homepage for a lot of people, but there are other alternatives that work well. TBH, a few years ago, I wanted to switch to DuckDuckGo, but their search results were lacking compared to google, but fast forward to now, DDG gives more accurate and useful results than Google's ad driven and AI driven "search results".

I've enjoyed my "internet experience" much better after switching from Reddit to Lemmy. Just the fact that it's not driven by profit, and policy changes are not a the whim of a monolithic corporation, makes the experience much better. I generally don't see people trying to grift on lemmy. I really appreciate the useful and well thought out comments/posts on lemmy compared to other platforms.

Also, Mastodon is so much more enjoyable to use than Twitter (deadnaming it, I don't care).

Yus, the proper way to deal with peaceful protestors is violence /s

Who are these "analysts"? And why should I care?

Wanting the games industry to constantly grow is corpo speak, and what shareholders want. I just want good games. And there's already a lot of good games out there I haven't had time to play yet. Fuck these asshats, and their lust for growth.

I generally like how small studios don't try to make hyper realistic graphics and force crunch time on their employees.

The article presents such a dystopian and shitty vision of how the videogames industry should be. Keep growing or else!

Please clap.

Pokemon Go commit genocide

Yeah, I mean, dealing with issues like this is still better than being on a corporate monarchy like twitter or fb πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Yes you can. What helped me was to keep asking myself, "what kind of person do I want to be?"

That internal mantra guided me to make different choices to become a different person, a better one, generally. And it's not even big decisions/choices. It was a lot of little things that I did differently, but consistently.

I'm not saying it's easy. It's a process. I had to keep constant, that question, in my mind. Like others have said, habits are hard to break, so it will take some persistence.

Good luck.

Smells like desperation 😀

I've done this with a DELL chromebook similar to the one she has. It worked out great! Shout out to Mrchomebox for his awesome work on custom firmware.

I initially installed Gallium OS since it was supposed to be a lightweight distro. My chromebook was fairly low spec with duo core intel at 2.0ghz with 4GB RAM. Gallium OS worked much better than chrome OS for this machine. Later on, I learned about Arch, and thought that would be better cuz it's barebones and lightweight. And yes, Arch made a big difference. And later on, I heard about Alpine Linux, which is even more lightweight than Arch. Shoutout to Trafotin for his video on using Alpine as a desktop OS. Alpine was even better for this machine than Arch. It is noticeable since, it's such a low powered machine.

Yes, I'm being a dirty distro hopper. :P

I may jump to Artix Linux since, some things I need don't seem to work on Alpine. My hypothesis is that Alpine was faster than Arch because Alpine uses OpenRC instead of Systemd. Just a guess.

Sure, AI can do anything, but can it tell us why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunchℒ️?

Yeah, Google search is useless now. I've switched to ddg , and it's much better. Just not having all those sponsored links helps a lot .

Maybe a searx instance would be even better, but I haven't found one that works consistently for me.

Ah, thanks for clarifying, or explaining how it actually happened. πŸ‘

Oh noes, Bernie is anti-Semitic!

Yeah, I imagine his non rich maga acolytes would be out of money soon, and his donors are sick of paying his legal bills. πŸ€”

I recently switched my main desktop from windows to linux, and now my download speeds are much faster. I guess now I know why. 😬

Thoughts and prayers /s

clickbait title, but it's accurate, and actually not misleading πŸ‘

Thank you. I couldn't have said it any better. I mean, sometimes we joke about horrible stuff like this because we feel powerless to do anything about it, so at least we can poke fun at some of the silly aspects of the situation.

So Twitter is Nazi Twitter now?

Another indication that the US gov doesn't care to even mitigate mass shootings or school shootings. The most important thing is that gun manufacturers make money.

Yeah, I don't think relationships should be based on two people "needing" each other. I think it's a better relationship when two people are so compatible, that they just naturally WANT to be with each other.

Poor billionaire. Got criticized 😭

Human dignity? That was a lost cause a long time ago.

Oh, she's a comedian now 🀣

Looks great, very professional. Good luck! πŸ‘

My experience with a screen protector. I don't even notice it. I got the tempered glass one from JSAUX, and I can't tell it's even on there.

About games, even if some games don't work perfectly on it, there are enough other games that work so well, that it makes it worth it.

The OLED screen is nice, and the interface works well.

For me, it's about using the right tool for the job. Sometimes, using full GUI file manager is overkill, especially for copying just one file, and you know exactly where you want to copy it from and to.

And a TUI file manager like mc, ranger, nnn are a good in between level of ui, and is great for browsing files distraction free from the visual clutter of a full GUI file manager. That may seem like not a big deal, but I think it's nice to be able to see things simply and straight to the point. For me, it just feels nice and less frustrating.

What I like about Linux is choice. And in this case, choice in file management. Pick the right tool, and you'll get things done more efficiently, and with less annoyance.
