DrRatso, to news in Some wealthier Chinese say they can't afford marriage as economy slows

I did not fully get from the article what exactly it is that makes marriage too expensive? Surely getting a marriage certificate is not prohibitively expensive? And shared / dual income would make it easier to stay on top of finances…

DrRatso, to asklemmy in What is the best option to provide for people who are homeless in the cold?

On top of knowing the needs, such groups, generally, have the means to utilise the money more effectively dollar for dollar than an individual because they can buy wholesale and have deals with different companies.

DrRatso, to opensource in Don't be that guy.

Who put the gun to your head and made you run the software though?

DrRatso, to linuxmemes in Linux users when

Once you know, it is easy. But this random popup with 0 explanation, besides an arrow, is not intuitive at all. In general I like my MacBook Air but I hate MacOS and if it wasn’t apple silicon itd be running linux. Once Asahi or something similar deals with growing pains, it will 100% be doing so.

DrRatso, to asklemmy in What are some small things we should change about the human body?

You can not have a cure for cancer, but a cancer. I promise I am not trying to be pedantic here. Cancers are so different from one another, that a single cure for breast cancer might not even work on all breast cancer.

DrRatso, (edited ) to linuxmemes in Your PC will thank you...

I think this depends. People who need basic computer functions can get on very well with linux.

My classmate in highschool had ubuntu on his home pc as long as I remember, because someone preconfigured it for them and it was mainly a browser - schoolwork machine. He gamed on XBox. There was no hassle, it was fine.

My mom on her run down laptop has mint now, because I configured it for her. I haven’t heard any complaints.

E: Also many hospital here run Linux and it is just fine, and trust me, many of the medical staff are barely tech literate enough to register for email themselves.

Linux is a problem for people who come from windows and need more than basics but are not tech savvy enough to get their hands dirty. Then once your comfort level with tinkering goes up again, Linux is once again not a bad recommendation. It really kind of is the bell curve meme.

DrRatso, to linux in I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?

At 80 I would urge you to consider wired again or save up. Otherwise I would look for the cheapest amazon / ali headset you can find a decent review online (off amazon) for.

DrRatso, (edited ) to asklemmy in US residents: What big domestic policy improvements have the american people won from congress in the last 30 years?

Not that you are wrong about the rest of your comment, but not only type 1 diabetics need insulin, type 2 diabetics often become insulin dependent too, especially with poor adherance to interventions (bad diet, no excercise).

DrRatso, to asklemmy in What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

Look, as long as you don’t hover-squat or use other techniqies that make it more dirty, you can autoclave the toilet before using it for all I care, so long as that means you actually sit down. I hate seeing poop stains on the rim. That said I will usually sit down without a buffer.

DrRatso, to linux in Why I need extra kernel modules to be able to run Wayland on nvidia?

This is hyprland specific, wayland runs fine on Gnome and KDE with regular, open and Noveau nvidia drivers

DrRatso, to asklemmy in What is your favorite hobby?

Yes, the barrier for entry is so low. You can even run barefoot if you are so inclined (I do experiment with this). Granted climbing can become expensive-ish if you want to do regular climbing. But bouldering is very cheap to get into.

Plus there is something so primal about running and climbing. Like these are the things we are supposed to be good at, it is how we are meant to move in some sense. It feels so empowering to know you can run for X time/distance or that you can climb a wall this hard…

DrRatso, to asklemmy in What is your favorite hobby?

Bouldering and running are the things I find I want to sink most of my free time into lately. Secondary to that it is general strength and yoga excercises.

I’m a sucker for a good book, recently read the Dune series, it was fantastic.

Then of course music (rap, hip-hop, rock), podcasts (too many to list or keep up with properly, really).

Video games used to be big, but these days nothing really tickles my pickle. I used to be mostly into PvP (first few seasons of league, speedrunners, MW2, Battlerite, Omega Strikers) but these days it is rare to find good ones, single-player stuff rarely catches my attention enough to sink hours in. Usually nothing I try these days lasts more than 2-3 times playing it.

DrRatso, to science_memes in "Earth-like"

An overwhelming portion of what is hard science now was probably in the domain of philosophy once.

DrRatso, to hydrohomies in Are you a Virgin Sodie or a Chad Water?!

Remembering to drink enough is a myth. You should drink when you want to drink and not worry about hitting some arbitrary water intake number.

DrRatso, to asklemmy in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

Apple watch now, but I have plans of picking up a hybrid soon. Im looking at Garmins vivomove or instinct crossover.
