I went full Lemmy for a while but have to admit I’m reading reddit again, but without their dumb app. Just the web browser.

Looking through a few subreddit, see what’s new for five minutes. I don’t post anymore.

Total brain damage on some of the Karens.

I guess they see themselves as strong independent women. :)

Definently only old thinkpads. I had two new ones break on me so now I’m not buying them anymore. One had mouse pad just go numb, the other one had the left control key stop working. I don’t even travel with the laptops. :)

My stationary keyboard has worked for like ten years, and so has my mouse…

I agree :) And I let them make this mistake for that reason too. Just like you say, it’s best to go out there and try things and sometimes fail.

I still fail when I go my own way but I prefer it, because when I succeed, it’s also my own win!

Happens all the time yeah.

I tried to find where it was but can’t find it…

I also had bugs around window rules to be honest.

People did this to themselves.

Unless we see some kind of regulation, today’s big tech is tomorrow’s big brother.

Yeah I don’t see how anyone can not see it’s Google… Who else is even close to having all our data? All the web searches, mobile android play backend, maps, Google streetcar, etc etc… They know everything.

Good for you and have fun.

I don’t know which people you are talking about, but if it’s adults and you are a kid, then there are some reasons behind that… :)

My kid planned a trip to Croatia with his friends and they managed to book flights that made them spend the entire night at airports, because they wanted the cheapest price.

Counting in that they had to buy airport food and hardly slept at all, and came home wrecked and had to sleep all day, meant that not only did they pay more for the trip than directs flights would have cost, they also lost a day when getting back to sleep and rest…

I mean, it’s fine, but it shows inexperience and unwillingness to listen to adults who may have good ideas… :)

I thought it was great but I think older people like it more. It wasnt about something happening every 30 seconds, so if you like movies that throw action in your face, this will seem slow.

Characters also felt real and had real emotions that made sense in that situation.

Yes, it has bugs still, specially for widgets and stuff like that. But it’s very stable if you don’t mess around with those things and just use it.

Yes, it never crashes anymore at all for me. Lots of work went into stability and bug fixes in plasma version 6.

So please don’t try it on Debian stable or something. Use the latest version!

It’s really stunning these days, super professional and clean, and really good themes actually too.

I really like being able to disable the mute-sound button on the task icons, since I sometimes misclick on them during meetings… And once I had apparently done that and turned off the sound for slack, so my huddle didn’t have any sound. Took me like 15 mins to find the reason since I thought it had to do with pulseaudio…

What is smart… I mean, most of us Lemmy tech people are good at computers but completely useless and may even despise other activities such as dancing, singing, acting, psychology, and so on.

Never forget that the school system evaluates how good of a worker you can be, not how good of a human you can be. The entire system is just built for economic growth, not your happiness. In fact, you consume more when you are feeling like shit.

A bit of a side note, I know, but it’s all connected to a bigger picture, so…

A lot of damaged people in the world. We are probably all damaged, honestly. But some more than others.

I’m even more impressed by aircraft carriers. Just one of those things weigh as much as 250 fully loaded Boeing 747s. And it just floats. :)

I think I was misunderstood, so it’s funny to watch the reactions. :) Yes I know there are female spies. They are highly effective, more so than male spies since they have the ability to attract men. It is very common to use female spies for any sort of information gathering from men. It’s so easy.
