Lemmy has much less content at this point because there are only a fraction of the people, but I think it has correspondingly fewer assholes.

I’d say don’t believe in it.

So-so. Trying to get some electronics working but they’re being stubborn. Had to take a lot of frustration breaks.

If you turn your internet router off and on, it should be assigned a new IP address by your ISP. That’s how mine works anyway. This is why dynamic DNS services exist, so you can host things at home even though you don’t have a static IP address.

IMO the uneducated take would be to think passages from an Econ101 book reflected the IRL hardships of changing jobs, possibly relocating, being out of work during the transition, willingness to take a pay cut out of desperation, etc. The word “sophomore” comes from the Greek term meaning “wise idiot” - closely related to the Dunning Kruger effect. Also “apathy” doesn’t mean recognizing ineffective, self-serving virtue-signalling for what it is.

edit: wow, people REALLY hate thinking the laziest possible “action” hits the wrong targets. To repeat: boycotts hurt employees more than investors and CEOs. The important thing is to bury this piece of truth deep in the ground and keep feeling the righteous glow of “doing something” even if it’s ultimately self-defeating.

Yeah I still use Old Reddit when I go there.

I don’t get the problem with being banned. I used to create a new reddit account when I thought of a new username I liked. DGAF about karma so I just threw accounts away. On one occasion I did get banned and just created a new account, no big deal. If you want to go back just go back.

I just like lemmy more. I still visit reddit irregularly, like every few days.

A flying car like on the Jetsons.

Since employees end up suffering more from boycotts than executives or investors do, I don’t think you should boycott anything. If you really need the delusion of being an avenging angel of justice without misdirecting it at people who are no richer than you, maybe go vandalize a CEO’s car.

Not as dangerous a game as doing it on an overnight drive.

Sounds like it’s time to stop believing the way headlines and pundits phrase things.

Everything I like has more than 5 ingredients if you count seasonings. Might as well heat up soup.

1. Can of soup

In Seattle in the late 1800s this kind of thing literally happened sometimes when the tide came in. They called it a “sewer geyser”.

The term “dependency hell” reminds me of “DLL hell” Windows devs used to refer to. Something must have changed around 2000 because I remember an article announcing, “No more DLL hell.” but I don’t remember what the change was.

Small thing about filesystem dialogs. In file open/save dialogs some apps group directories at the top and others mix them in alphabetically with files. My preference is for them to be grouped, but being consistent either way would be nice.

Just click your heels together three times, Dorothy. You’ll find all the fascism you need right in your own backyard!

Yes, Mint Cinnamon. Weird combination of names tho, I don’t even want to think about combining those flavors.

I’m happy with Linux Mint so far (2 mos in)
