I’m really surprised by this, specially since I cancelled Netflix over a year ago myself…

It’s like renting movies that can be taken away at any time since you don’t own them. And ads can be introduced whenever. Not to mention poor streaming quality on top of all this.

I know what you mean actually… Yeah. Maybe it’s not all that fun after a while.

I found two women who find me attractive so that’s nice. I’m happy with that. :)

But in my next life I want to be a guy who gets liked by all girls. Seems fun.

Best motivational post ever.

I'm so frustrated rn.

I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....

Why would you use Debian, it has the oldest packages and kernel of all distros. I would maybe run that on a server, but probably just use Ubuntu LTS instead.

For desktop you should try Pop OS. Really good distro from System 76.

Stay away from Ubuntu, it’s very buggy for desktop. I tried it six months ago, fresh install, and the console app wouldn’t even open on a fresh install. No error message, just didn’t open. Great impression…

Google lists improvements that only users from the EU will get - gHacks Tech News (www.ghacks.net)

Google collects and shares data between its own services by default. Search, advertising, YouTube and several others exchange user data. Users in the EU have to give consent to this form of sharing. By default, data will no longer be exchanged between services. EU users may already manage the Google Services that may or may not...

It’s a shame Google doesn’t leave the EU completely. Don’t need their shit here.

I guess they are a signal of disapproval, but its better to be honest and say what you think then to try and get liked in every post.

I have no idea who would think you are useless because you don’t have a job. Are you American? Because I think that culture is slightly mentally ill about associating personal value to what job you have.

This is how I think, but my girlfriend doesn’t, so sometimes it’s really frustrating. I think she is addicted to worrying.

I hope 2024 is better than the trainwreck that was 2019 to 2023…

How to cope with existing right now?

It feels like no matter where I turn some septuagenarian, or older, is making life miserable for myself and others. Usually these are older white Christian conservatives, obsessed with a delusional sense of reality that no longer has a basis in fact, or perhaps never did....

One of the reasons that older people have money is because society was sane when they were young. It was even possible for only one parent to work and the other to stay at home and take care of kids and the house.

Every decade since then, things get worse because capitalism wants everyone to work, everyone to buy things, and as few people as possible having enough money to not work. Because money is power and if you are living thanks to a monthly check, you have no power.

The main strategy from the top has always been to divide people as much as possible and distract them from the fact that they can’t get out of the hamster wheel. So there are public discussions about gender politics, environmental issues and other things that divide people into groups, so they argue with eachother and stay distracted from the big picture.

Big picture, we are kind of like slaves but much more comfortable. As long as we can’t stop working, we are slaves in a way, because we don’t have freedom to spend our lives doing what we want in most cases. So we waste our days trying to care about company problems that are all about increasing their profits while paying everyone as little as they can.

Yeah this is not a encouraging post, sorry. I just say what I think here.

I actually miss those keyboards a bit, they were really sturdy and never broke. :)

At least we know how to make fun of ourselves.

Can’t get dates, but we have humor. :)

The year before covid was great. After that the world went into crazy mode.

But 2023 was a winner compared to 2019 - 2022 I guess.

I’m guessing 2024 will have its own shit show, just not sure what yet.

You should try inserting a paragraph here and there, because that wall of text is not fun to read… :)
