…so, the other way is boycotting? Seriously though, correct me if I’m wrong, but spending your money on the competition sounds like boycotting to me

Quick, let’s all go collect sea shells, send them to Russia for free and deal the death blow to their economy by hyperinflation!!

Talk to c/hydrohomies if you have trouble with streets not being wet enough

Afaik you would destroy the coating on modern lenses, making it worse. That’s why I am intensely careful with mine, I only carefully wash them under warm water (not hot) with dish soap without additives, and then use a microfibre cloth to dry. Water and dish soap first to remove anything that could scratch, even microscopic stuff.

After around 4 years of this, mine are almost as good as new still.

Oooh, does a hugely corrupt society that only benefits the obscenely rich work neither for the East or the West? Who would’ve thunk

Yeah, good riddance

What a story…

At first I thought this meant “Social Justice Warriors” updated and I thought, oh, they were all bots by trolls and it kind of made sense.

Bluetooth dongle by Asus, doesn’t work properly without their own driver :/

What do you do though when you need to compile a driver for some hardware you have and install it manually on Bazzite? Recently had that case, and switched to Mint because of it.

I agree! (Also about Christianity, fuck anyone whose dogmatism causes them to disrespect any marginalized group.)

But I don’t think anyone should tolerate intolerance. If it’s part of your culture to subjugate women and hate LGBTQ people or other religions, you will have to change that part of your culture or fuck all the way off.

Both the US and Europe would be much nearer to that level if any migration was allowed unchecked. It is becoming a problem in Europe and it is growing. It’s just a sad reality that democracy can’t consist of people who don’t believe in democracy.

Problems start when the people coming in don’t share those sentiments and instead want their authoritarian culture to replace and dominate.

Edit: also, in the West democracy and equality have become part of our culture and tradition, for the most part, and those values just are not shared by lots of migrants. And you can’t tolerate those values being replaced. It’s the paradox of tolerance.

I think it’s partly leftover dribble from the inane Gaia “theory” that was so strong in hippie circles. Everything natural (like bacteria in milk) is good, and you know, gut bacteria, yogurt, 's all good, right?

Combine that with “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” beliefs that they don’t realize come from right wing nuts and you got a perfect diarrhea inducing cocktail that we all get to pay for with our taxes and our nerves.

Just finally switched my gaming PC to Linux mint. It works flawlessly. I can even re-use the steam game files I downloaded on Windows. Never going back.

Lemmy keeps amazing me with the answers that come up. Many thanks, that is great!

I wish we were!

I’m currently migrating my gaming system to Linux, it feels so good!

Stay married for the health insurance, everybody start seeing other people. Your wife’s depression is (probably) not your responsibility. Tell your daughter (and each other) love is not as simple as made out in movies, but can be much more. Everyone’s happiness is more important than following traditional ways. Always stay respectful towards everyone involved.

This is advice from a childless slut. You would probably be foolish to follow it.

Tea tea :)
