I feel like breaking my windows install was a rite of passage

Lately ive noticed that i was wanting to do certain things on Windows that just seemed much easier and more intuitive on Linux, based in the OS specific solutions i would see to problems i encountered. And i was more frequently using software where Windows support seemed like an after thought....

Lmaydev,

Good job. It’s a great feeling when things finally click.

Unfortunately stuff like this is exactly what is holding Linux back from mainstream adoption.

Lmaydev,

Because 90+% of people don’t know what fdroid is and can’t get many of the apps they need there.

Lmaydev,

My partner puts them up November 1st and then takes them down on boxing day.

I get their logic. You want them up in the build up and then gone once Christmas is done.

Lmaydev,

Halloween is done haha

China's Uyghur Drama: Wiping Out An Entire Ethnic Minority --- [documentary in French with English subtitles, 105 min] (www.arte.tv)

Tortured in huge internment camps, forced labour and mass sterilisations: The Chinese state’s attack on the Uyghur people, an ethnic minority in western China, is akin to genocide, with an estimated one million people arbitrarily detained. An in-depth look at how Beijing has committed grave human rights offences over decades....

Lmaydev,

It’s not akin to genocide. It is textbook genocide.

Lmaydev,

The funny thing about that is they used to send a letter in advanced so you could get your evidence etc. in line.

So everyone expected the Spanish inquisition.

Lmaydev,

Well your country is wrong.

Lmaydev,

My friend tried this thing where you nap for 20 minutes every 4 hours or so.

They managed to get into a good rhythm with it for a while.

They stopped because they missed sleep and it was weird as fuck being awake all the time.

They had an amazing ability to fall asleep almost instantly so I imagine that made it much easier.

Lmaydev,

Well that was a bit anticlimactic. Still interesting though.

Lmaydev,

Yeah I use WSL a huge amount of my work.

Azure for instance is much easier to work with in the console than the website.

Then there’s grep!

Tbf you’re the one getting riled up. Maybe take your own advice and also stop using random ads you can’t even name as a source.

100%

There’s reactive abuse. Where in response to abuse you defend yourself with abusive behaviour. Then the original abuser plays the victim and gas lights you.

My marriage was like this. It was hell.

Lmaydev,

Abuse often works this way.

Usually it’s intermittent and when they aren’t being abused they are super loving and caring.

This leads to people thinking they are doing something wrong or that the abuser is a loving partner with problems that can be worked on.

Abuse is incredibly complicated and until you’ve been through it it’s really hard to understand how anyone could put up with it.

Lmaydev,

I mean just license it as such right? You can’t say it’s completely free for anyone to use then complain you aren’t getting paid.

Lmaydev,

You can buy a license to use software. That’s how a lot of software works.

Lmaydev,

That’s all well and good. But it still doesn’t change the whole not getting paid issue. Unless they violated the license lol

Lmaydev,

Only if they think you’re an immediate threat to yourself or others.

I talked about suicide a lot in therapy.

Lmaydev,

That’s really not how therapy works.

Lmaydev,

Exactly why therapy is so useful.

I could never tell my family and friends part of me hated them because their love guilted me into not killing myself.

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....

Lmaydev,

But let’s be honest it still really isn’t an out of the box experience.

Just look at all the shit with Snap you see constantly.

Lmaydev,

Windows generally does work exactly like that. It’s the reason it has such a huge market share of desktops.

What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...

Lmaydev,

Of what?

Lmaydev,

That’s kind of spreading misinformation though right?

Lmaydev,

Do you have a source for that?

Lmaydev,

The only thing I can find is they allow MS trackers in their browser. Which isn’t great, but doesn’t matter if you only use their search.

Do you have a source?
