camelbeard,

Money is just a tool to get the things we want anyway.

camelbeard,

That was actually my point, you don’t go for money because you want money. You go for money because you want things money can get you, house, car, safety, status, etc (different for everyone). In this case money can’t even get you what you really want, so it’s a useless tool.

camelbeard,

Red, that would give me 30+ years of life. I would also try to get older healthier.

camelbeard,

I specifically bought a Brother printer because they at least try to support Linux. My previous one Samsung was much worse, it had Google cloud print so I could still use it. But Google like always killed something people liked.

camelbeard,

This is exactly why those people never become billionaires. You can’t make billions without screwing over people and the environment.

camelbeard,

You’re right, although I wouldn’t be surprised that at some point MacOS will have a mandatory app store to protect you.

I kind of really dislike the notion that you only use Linux because you are too poor for Apple.

I don’t use Apple because I don’t like to be stuck in a walled garden where a company decides what’s best for me.

I know it’s just a meme, but I think too many people actually think Linux is somehow inferior to Apple (MacOS) while I think it’s the other way around.

camelbeard,

I think they are part of Africa now

camelbeard,

No it’s just borrowing, it’s temporary anyway, I recently looked at some movies on a very old harddisk and it was like DVD quality or worse. Threw the entire disk out.

I might move again. (Or not) (lemy.lol)

I moved from Lemmy.ml because I liked the name of Lemmy.world and it ran a newer Lemmy version which meant I could make communities. I moved from Lemmy.world because they defederated from piracy communities they didn’t even host (but for some reason still kept the small piracy community they DID host) From thelemmy.club...

camelbeard,

After seeing this post, I needed to check what server am I on right now anyway, didn’t even remember, so I guess that’s a good thing.

camelbeard,

I think it was 17:18 when the door lock finally opened. The very first time estimate said it should be ready at 16:10. So it was definitely a big lie.

At home I hang most of the clothes, but we where at a short trip and we had some wet towels and swimgear, so de decided to just do one full laundry with most of our wet and dirty clothes. The first duration before I even started the cycle was that it should be done at about 16:10 it was actually done more than an hour later.

camelbeard,

It’s a washer and dryer, so it did both

camelbeard,

Yeah I should have known, started the thing at 12:26 (actually know this because I called my wife to check if we had 3 hours and 38 minutes before we needed to go), its 17:18 and I just got the door open…

camelbeard,

Very good reply, just one thing to add, it’s both a washer and dryer, we did a full wash dry cycle.

Do we really want to be bigger anyway? I kind of like where Linux as a desktop isn’t really big enough for all the scammers and malware makers to care.

(And I know it’s huge for servers and malware also targets that, but they are usually maintained by professionals, not your parents that would probably run every shell script they are offered as help)

If Linux would become the biggest desktop os you are going to find so much more bad advice whenever searching for help online. I wonder if the nice people we have now are really ready for when the terrible people invade the community.

I tried so many distros in the last decade, but I recently had to start with a fresh setup again and I went with Linux Mint. I think it’s the most underestimated workhorse you can get. Everything just works, tons of help online if you need it and instead of tweaking it forever you just get work done.

camelbeard,

I totally get that and I used to do the same. Maybe this community is different but on some online communities people kind of looked down on mint and pretended it was only a beginner distro.

camelbeard,

I have an nvidia card and don’t game, that Intel might be the better option.

camelbeard,

We hate salt, it reminds us of our worst enemy, the sea.

camelbeard,

I also don’t like that he sometimes interrupts his guest or just starts talking about something about himself instead of asking follow-up questions.

camelbeard, (edited )

Or a website where they post stuff like that? Like the schools website? My son’s school has it’s own app where they post updates, photos, etc. Not a huge fan of another app, but at least it’s not public and I’m not forced to use Facebook or Twitter.

Thanks, I like your comment and I agree that I think people just aren’t evolved to have millions of fans/followers. If you look at people that got famous at a young age, most (maybe almost all) of them turned out into pretty unstable people. I’m taking about tv/movie stars here. Nowdays young people not only get famous, but also are bombarded with endless comments, lots of them very negative.

Even for young people that are not famous at all, when other kids around you always share things online where it looks like they have a much much “better” life, it messes you up. So many people just pretend to have a great life online, but never share all the bad stuff that also happens.

If you grow up with social media, you grow up with a complete fake version of reality. I kind of fear for the moment my kids will be old enough to want to join social media. As a parent you can’t really stop them and I also don’t want to be the super controlling parent anyway. It’s something that scares me because I know I will have to deal with it in a few years.

camelbeard,

With the way the world is going, maybe it’s better to keep the military around for a while.
