Shit I forgot to drink water today. Pretty sure I don’t have ADHD but you all save my bacon with the meme reminders

What’s your problem? Let people enjoy stuff that has no effect on your life. You sound miserable internally and to be around, maybe go reflect on yourself a bit

Their examples where they’re trying to trick me into not finding things as quickly with a bunch of syntax highlighting worked exactly the opposite for me. Also I use dark theme because I don’t like burning a hole through my retinas from working all day it has nothing to do with highlighting options. This is a very subjective topic being presented as fact to such a degree it feels like satire

Z Nation was filmed around where I was living and going to school!. It was a lot of fun “omg I know that building that’s where I stole a cool looking book, that’s the field I’d hang out in for lunch” but with zombies and whatever other insanity they had going on. One of my neighbors was a hairdresser for them too and wanted to buy my hair off me if I ever cut it but sadly the show ended before I did. One of my life regrets I didn’t just offer up my hair on the spot it could have been famous

It was conceptualized as a miniseries and not really intended to go beyond the first season. They didn’t write it to have a plot post season one so it goes off the rails quickly as they tried to capture the original essence that made it popular while winging it on the story. Hell they didn’t even originally write it to have as many episodes in the first season as they ended up having and iirc they even considered just making a movie instead

Unless I’m missing something about how to use it the text tool in Krita is terrible though. Been designing cards with people the last few weeks and we ended up making the general design and layout in Krita then brought things into GIMP to add text

To me the scary part is how many pictures and videos of real things there are that people think are AI. Another comment mentions this is Múlafossur Waterfall and it does get this windy

Defunding police may sound simple but it’s proving to be tricky

So a couple things, do you have a link where I can read up on the history of betweener labor because now I’m curious? But secondly what are you talking about? What this post or the comments implies anything to do with race? I don’t understand where you’re getting that from

Find a surface that doesn’t matter if it gets messy, grab a bunch of paper and notebooks, a couple packs of cheap oil pastels, some glitter paint, water colors etc, then take 5g of mushrooms. Did that for my last birthday. I was covered in pigments and oils absolutely thrilled out of my mind. Was one of the most fun and brain relaxing things I’ve done

I was generally planning on switching once windows 10 died but being on Lemmy helped convince me to not only switch earlier, but also I just dove right in with arch. I’d say it was like 2/3 Lemmy and 1/3 Proton that made me switch not because I felt I needed to but because I was actually excited to

A few months ago my roommate asked if I could zhuzh up their old laptop. It was old enough I was still able to open it up, add some ram, switch to a tb SSD, better network card. I slapped mint on their too. Their first experience with Linux and after showing them some really basic terminal commands I’ve never had them ask for help since. It just works

That’s an incredibly difficult map to decipher

I should fucking hope so lol. Doesn’t matter to me anymore though I switched to Arch btw

Doesn’t ‘ant’ mean not and ‘arc’ is without? So it’s really closer to ‘without penguins’ and ‘not without penguins’

Personally I think AI should be used to do all of the above for anyone who wants it to. Then people could in theory work on their own personal goals in the ways they value. A lot has to change for that to be a reality though it’s certainly not the path we’re on currently

Misgendering, deadnaming, and broadly “it’s just bullying get over it” type speech leads to suicides particularly by younger people. The problem has multiple fronts: people need support to get them through the toughest times, thick skin to keep the day to day manageable, and social spaces need some degree of checks to keep from going full toxic

Personally I don’t mind being deadname or misgendered I think it’s funny. I’m a survivor bias though I’ve made it to my thirties being unphased. Other people who used to be around me who couldn’t handle the aggressions did not make it to their thirties. One of my oldest friends attempted suicide four times that I know of over this type of speech being directed at them. They’re only alive right now because they were lucky enough to keep being pulled back from death until they could grow that thicker skin you’re talking about

House size and media consumption are going to be big factors here I think. You get four people trying to stream, game, listen to music, whatever it is people these days use phones for, etc; it’s going to really add up. Sure lots of people barely use the internet and are getting sold way more than they need but it’s not uncommon anymore for multiple hd things to be simultaneously happening in one house

A couple days ago I went to my neighborhood USPS. When I asked for packing peanuts the person said “I don’t know what that is so probably not”. Then pointed me to their packing supplies shelf which had a couple rolls of tape and some bubble wrap. I live in Seattle and it’s already this bad. Any more budget cuts and it would be easier for me to backpack cross country deliver it myself

Edit: I don’t understand why I’m being down voted? I’ve always tried to use USPS I prefer them over privatized shipping. I’m just trying to say that it’s already depressingly under funded and it’s hurting this much in the city I can’t imagine how much it’s hurting people in the country. It’s about to buckle already and it’s going to be toast if it sees another budget cut. I wish we could have nice things

Around Seattle there are hot tub rafts. People motor around the Puget in them and definitely don’t get hammered 😂
