  • It's been 84 years…

  • That's like saying that Neovim is the real Vim

  • It's been 84 years…

    Jump

  • It's actually been 6 years or so. However, I love it so much that I built a time machine to continuously go back so I can use it more (makes no sense, I know, just roll with it) so for me it has been 84 years

  • Please don't use Discord for FOSS projects

  • as long as that hasn't happened yet

    Hasn't happened yet? Have you seen the new mobile app? What usability?

  • Atheists of lemmy what is a stereotype about us that is just not true?

    Jump

  • Absolutely. Just because I think religion is stupid and don't want it shoved down my throat everywhere I go, doesn't mean I dislike the people spending their time on it.

    People who don't keep religion to themselves and start bothering me or others with it (Jehovah's witnesses and whatnot), they bother me and I do dislike those few

  • Counter point: No it fucking isn't. Humanity is genuinely shitting the bed on multiple important issues. OP's worries are valid. If you think that the current situation is okay, then you're part of the problem. If it's not fascism, we still have climate change fucking us six ways to Sunday

  • And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me

  • If you had to choose between ONLY the jerboah app or the boost app for lemmy, which would you choose and why ?

  • I'm tired of living like this

  • When it comes to appreciating life, I always think about what it actually takes to be alive.

    Think about it. Trillions of cells working together to keep you alive. An immune system constantly defending you from anything and everything, even yourself. The amount of work it takes to live is extraordinary and we don't even notice it. Life is extremely fragile and short. Every one of us was gifted a very short amount of time on this wild roller coaster we call life. To me that's something to celebrate.

    If you like pop culture and divas and whatnot, that's awesome! Being passionate about something is great!

    Truth is, I don't have any good advice, really. I get where you're coming from and I feel similar sometimes. Even at times when I feel really down, though, I like to stay up on a night with a clear sky, look at the stars and remind myself of how tiny our planet is. How tiny we are. How huge the cosmos is and how grateful I am for this tiny ~but~ bit of time that I get to spend on this Earth, however long it may be.

    While I'm at it, I may as well recommend the Kurzgesagt YouTube channel. It has some great videos on loneliness, gratefulness and stuff like that. Their book "Immune" also really gave me a whole new sense of appreciation for my body and life itself.

    Good luck and never be uncomfortable because of who you are and what you like. Our time here is too short to be wasted on nonsense like that.

  • Do you also keep your car running all day for when you have to be somewhere and only turn off the engine at the gas station?

  • The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend?

  • The Ubuntu Bros!

  • Mint is Ubuntu-based so yeah, most stuff will work.

    But also: The only reason I don't recommend Ubuntu is because of Snaps and telemetry. If someone decides that they don't mind, I don't care. Everyone should just use the distro they like best

  • It definitely is, especially because — as with most of these categorization things — you're never one or the other, it's a spectrum

  • Fahrenheit has one advantage here: You're used to it. If you're used to Celsius, you know that 25° is warm and 5° is cold and don't give a shit about it not being a 0-100 scale for that particular use case.

    The 0-100 thing is pretty much the only argument I've ever heard in favor of Fahrenheit btw. Again, if you're used to one of them, that's the one that will make the most sense.

    Being used to Celsius has the advantage of automatically being used to Kelvin. For example, if you ever want to calculate anything to do with the energy required to heat something to a certain temperature, you will have a way better time with Kelvin. Being used to and measuring in Celsius helps a lot here.

    But sure, I get that you're used to Fahrenheit. It's just that the whole world has decided to use Celsius. Honestly, for good reason.
