That doesn’t really tell me anything lol

It’s a lot to ask someone to drop into a group of 4+ friends of 10+ years and just hit the ground running. It takes a lot of effort from everyone involved. I’m for it but it’s not as simple as one might assume.

Proton VPN + Secure core mode = slow but damn anonymous torrenting

If I’m not doing secure core, I pull down probably 92 to 95% of my full Internet speed, which is nothing to scoff at because I have fiber. Proton VPN is incredible. Unfortunately, there’s just no way to make secure core particularly quick. It reroutes through two servers, one of which is in a country that doesn’t have a data extradition treaty or whatever it’s called with the US, such a Switzerland.

Trumpet players dumping their spit valves on the floor all around their feet never ceases to disgust me lol

Y’all’s opinions are irrelevant here. We are enemies now.

“You’re already” makes sense as a sentence and I don’t like it lol

Sure strawman arguments are a real issue but I often find some people just can’t believe there is a world where somebody just disagrees with them even if they understand their position. It’s a lack of imagination/humility.

“You’re not listening to what I’m saying.”

“You’re not getting my point here.

“If you would just stop [insert logical fallacy they heard on Reddit recently] then we could have a real discussion.”

Yeah, if I could buy one still mint in the box MSRP I would do it today

Which part? I’m just saying their being proponents of Socialism isn’t a problem. The post is saying that’s why we defederated from them, which it isn’t. It was the way people behaved on that instance (and outside it), the way communities operated, that led to the decision.

Being proponents of socialism is not what makes Lemmygrad problematic. If that were the reason world defederated from them then I would actually be upset with the decision.

@BolexForSoup@kbin.social avatar

Looking to dip my toes into Linux for the first time. I have a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro with pretty solid specs collecting dust right now that I think I’m going to use. Research so far has indicated to me that the two best options for me are likely Mint or Elementary OS. Does anyone have any insight? Also open to other OS’s. I would consider myself decently tech savvy but I am not a programmer or anything. Comfortable dipping into the terminal when the need arises and all that.

The google-Reddit search got really screwed up when the private subs numbered 7-8000. I’m curious if there have been any lingering effects.
