Ive paid for private email hosting for years now, and run a bunch of services on a pi now. Google is almost completely out of my life, and my fb has been deactivated for years. I’m not kicking any corporate walls down, but it feels good to be the change I want to see. 🤷♂️
I could never get that to work anyway lol
One of my current favorite techy creators writes a blog post for most of his videos I can reference if I’m interested in the project. ❤️
I’m not familiar enough with Ensiferum to have an opinion, but I agree with you on Korpiklaani. They’re still good, but the old lack of polish adds something to the sound 100%.
That was SO TIGHT when I saw that option recently when I reinstalled windows ❤️
AI has people questioning Windows use Car systems ratting drivers out has people questioning car use
Not the way I expected to reach some of my desired ends but I’ll take it. 🤔
Yeah I don’t like the idea of having to login to their site, like I’m self hosting for a reason lol
Start using Linux, tell those companies you’d buy but you’re on Linux, spread the word, wash, rinse, repeat.
Be the change you want to see.
Who would I have a screenshot from an account I had for like 2 weeks, what, two years ago now?
I get it, you’re being disingenuous and want to argue that its only Nazi if its from the Nazi region of Germany, otherwise it’s just sparkling fascism which is actually A-OK or that “um, ackhthually, nobody supports Nazis on the internet.”
Either way, you go dig through two years of mod logs or wtfever. Have fun.
And I provided such evidence to the admin, who then banned me.
I originally joined up to .world and offered to mod a few communities, cause whatevs I got free time. I saw a fellow mod outright nazi-ing about ( not “saying things I disagree with” but actual nazi fanboy-ing) so asked instance admin if he could be removed as a mod from said community we shared. It was a polite message, and I wasn’t gonna harp or bitch about it either way but I figured if he wasn’t removed I’d just leave (no way that’s not coming to a head sooner or later, yknow?) I was immediately banned from the entire instance without even a message or anything about it. Just outright immediately banned.
Sure, if that’s how hard you’re going to bat for nazis I don’t want to be here anyway. Shrug
If you wanted Pete’s, shoulda went to peteshardware 🤷
You’ll be fine! Linux isn’t all that and a bag of chips anymore as long as you’re open to an occasional internet search.
I recognize that Linux isn’t perfect, but people who say it isn’t “ready for users” are people who want to have their cake and eat it too - Want the multi billion dollar polish of windows but with the respectfulness of FOSS (Free Open Source Software.)
Of course, its possible to strip windows of most of its nonsense but again most users would rather die than do a simple search. 🤷
I agree. I feel like its a personality thing (honestly I feel like its a neurotypical thing, I’m not autistic or anything but definitely divergent) and/or a capitalism thing.
I don’t like cars, but I learned enough about how cars work to be able to take a functional role in my cars maintenance. Most people don’t do that, whether its a car or computer or whatever else in their life.
I really like Under the Dome to the point of not minding the TV adaptations.
If you like the Stand, you’ll probably like most King (although thats probably one of his best.) The biggest criticism is that he’s long winded - which can definitely be true, but I think most of his fans appreciate that. (I’m reading one of his covid books, Fairy Tale. Its been good but I’m over 1/4 through and “the thing” is only just now maybe beginning to happen lmao.
Christine is a good read. Not to take away from your referenced story, but especially if you like king, Christine slaps
I don’t have a car and go for a walk most days, where I live drivers treat pedestrians and (bikers/scooters/other alternatives) as enemies/targets/antagonists/etc.
With zero oncoming traffic or an empty second lane, where I live people swerve toward you instead of around when passing you. At a particular intersection I only cross on the ped signal cause its by the interstate, I get cussed out a few times a month just for not being in a car - Its fucking nuts.
I’ve always been familiar with Linux and tech but always used windows cause gaming. Last week I stripped all my drives and set up dual boot to daily drive Linux with a windows fallback for whatever I might need windows for.
Fedora was up and running in no time.
Win 11, I had to jump through the hoops to avoid logging in, it doesn’t label your drives like Linux does so you have to guess or cross reference somehow, twice as many reboots, pages of data settings.
So glad to finally be going Linux ❤️
I have a switch but its a launch model so its modded. Totk runs like crap, and my friend with a legit copy basically said “same” when I asked about it.
On yuzu I have it running at 1440p60hz, could probably bump it to 120 and having a grand ole time
