I never saw your other comment asking for elaboration so I’m sorry for that, but super glad it’s working out for ya! You sound exactly like I did when I first swapped lol

Good luck with the taskbar, we all find that one damn white whale!

It’'s not just the big cities with homeless problems, it’s basically everywhere that’s not RURAL, and even then you still see them

When other places send them here, it’s gonna be a problem

I get that you’re trying to be uplifting and motivating and whatnot but executive distinction making it quite literally impossible to motivate myself to get up and take those first few steps is the problem here.

That’s nice and you’re very lucky. My PCP told me to schedule an appt with their drugs and mental health department (3 month minimum wait) and that he’d not renew the prescription I’d come to him with.

Then my next Dr was telehealth and kept warning me I needed to see her in person, but never had an appointment open.

Then my next Dr was 45 minutes late to every appointment.

Then my next Dr tried to get me to do IT troubleshooting on my end when he hadn’t joined the fucking Zoom call.

Unions should always back the due process rights of their members…

That’s not what’s being talked about and you know it.

Many of us also lived through the era where any 13 year old could steal Mommy’s credit card and rent a botnet for that ezpz

My MC server a decade ago was tiny and it still happened every few months when we banned some butthurt kid

I really love all of the proton products…

Except their VPN. I’m sorry, but their servers trip CAPTCHAs and cloud flare warnings more than 95% of the time for me no matter where I connect from. I really wish it wasn’t like that because it makes the Internet fucking awful to use

Mullvad will just keep getting my 5/month on top of my proton sub, I guess…

God I’m so glad I live in California. We’re not perfect by any means but:

I used to live about 2 BLOCKS from a refinery and never had that experience. The one time there was even a vague issue that “might” have impacted health the FD came by and were like “GTFO were evacuating the area” and I went home that night to a safe and mot-covered-in-bullshit home.

And the supreme Court thinks making that normal everywhere is bad.

I can’t afford that many paper books, man, sorry

Do I have every book for DND pirated as a PDF so that I can reference them, though? maybe

Do I have a digital backup of the Cyberpunk books? totally

Do I have an esoteric collection of random magic items and mobs I’ve seen as I browse over the last 15 years? oh fuck actually did I accidentally delete this folder I literally just realized as I typed this oh no

I just don’t have to time to figure out which is the right one for me, installing it, configuring it, etc

Ah, then you want Mint.

I mean maybe someone smarter than me can tell me a linux distro that will work with world of warcraft, steam, final fantasy xiv, etc.

Mint, ive had no issue with any of those except WoW, whose issue is that I do not play it to test it. it even handled modded FNV better than Windows ever did once I figure out SteamTinkerLaunch

Dalamud (QuickXIVLauncher) even is on the distro software hub for easy download to your system, works great.

So many people go boomer argument mode over this because they don’t like change, but their anger is clearly misplaced. The 3.5mm is not the king of audio connectors and never was, it’s death could very easily have been a good thing.

Why the fuck didn’t headphone makers start offering USB-C devices once phones pulled this move? My PC mobo from 2017 has a C port that could be used for this, I’m certain computers could have easily adapted (and they’re the way smaller market anyway). Is it just because apple had to be special with their lightning bullshit? If so, they’d better start it up now!

Instead of being able to buy new cans with the wire that my phone uses I have to snag an adapter. Not a BIG deal but this change is over 5 fucking years old, we should have these devices as the norm now to avoid all of the fucking issues we’re currently looking at

Until I upgraded to Linux Mint recently I actually DID use a Soundblaster card (modern one from 2018) to drive my super nice headphones and speakers

Too bad mint weirdly hated it despite recognizing it, but the new speakers have a fine DAC so…

Eventually either the IDF will find all of the hostages or Hamas will release them. Then it will end.

Lol, good one.

Diminishing Returns is the concept on a broader scale here

Ie: the more you add the less you get from adding, to the point of it becoming a complete negative

In Photoshop paint, it’s a single tool.

I think the real reason so many people hate GIMPs flow is that it doesn’t match the free paint tool that comes with every Microsoft OS since before I was born.

This would help explain why people who have never used PS even 10 years ago would regularly bounce off GIMP for making no intuitive sense

I’ve got a server I’m mass downloading anything I or my wife can think of and quite a few obscure movies and shows aren’t on the major sites in any form that has enough seeders to actually finish

So, Usenet it is, at least until I’m mostly done.

If I was huntig for it all by hand I’d probably not bother but I’m using the Arr stack for automation so

And you don’t see how your comment is one of many reasons crypto isn’t the future of money?

Vice: bad habit, especially used as a form of escapism

Not what it means. You’d also have to prove it’s a bad habit even if it were the meaning

my vice is alcohol

Also not a vice unless you’re a weird ass prude

You don’t need to be defensive about it

Pointing out your holier-thsn-thou attitude is stupid because you’re straight-upwrong about something isn’t being defensive.

You don’t like it, that doesn’t mean it’s immoral to do it

Genocide

That’s it? That’s what makes him sooo EVIL?

You realize how awful you sound, right? Genocide isnt evil to you?

because if you get tRump again

Irrelevant. Criticism of Biden doesn’t automatically mean support for Trump, so fucking sick of seeing that stupid claim

smoking it stinks up the whole block/park. You need to get a handle on that.

Sploofs and vapes

it’s a vice

Oh, you’re one of those. No, it’s not.

Vice: immoral or wicked behavior
