  • Googling so many “how do I do X?” type of questions have top-results of 10-minute videos where someone has their cluttered Desktop in full 1920x1080 and then they open the tiny command prompt in a small window (it’s clear they have no idea how to record a video), where they clumsily type commands they clearly don’t understand, and fumble through the entire process.

    I just needed a single command. It should have been a 1-second result at the top of search, not shitty videos or SEO dynamically-generated shit site that are trying to sell me something.

    Uh, most apps are still for Windows. That’s why so many people use it.

    If you tell someone to use an alternative OS, but then they are left on their own to run alternative versions of apps that don’t work the same, forced to give up features they are use to, or run dozens of different programs through Wine or Proton or emulation or virtualization or whatever, JUST BECAUSE “Microsoft bad”, they’re going to laugh at you and go right back to Windows.

    It’s taken Linux 30(?) years to make it to 4%, and a lot of that is recent because of games. It’s still a niche platform.


  • The content didn’t violate Lemmy terms of service or be of anything illegal, just the rules the mod posted.

    If the mod has a short list of rules that say not to post X, and a user specifically posts X, what can I do really do about it? They may get some downvotes, but the posts stays up. The post gets reported, but the post still stays up. I check back a week later, and the post is still there.

    I can’t build a community up, and if it’s clear the creators of that community and/or the current mods themselves have moved on or simply don’t care, then I will just move on.























  • The old Pfizer doses would shut me down for 3 days.

    Fever, chills, body aches, fatigue.

    The first shot wasn’t so bad. The second and third were insane.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve had a fourth shot, but I don’t remember how I felt. I think I got covid last year, after already having the third shot, and I’ve been dealing with symptoms for over a year now (mostly muscle fatigue).

    I want the new shot with the new variant mix, but I’m also afraid of how I’m going to react to it. I have too much going on at work and home right now to take half a week off for the shot.

    I have a pretty crummy immune system and have always dealt with autoimmune issues, so it’s important that I get the shot, even if I react badly to it. :/
