I didn’t even bother reading anything about project 2025 because I thought surely it wouldn’t come to this

fedora as an os: 10/10 fedora as a name to a distro: 0/10

very hot take:

regular people will never get rid of twitter or meta, Facebook. YouTube. it’s incompatible with their psychology.

they need to use what other people are using, they need to see “content” from their followed users

switching to another platform will kill that for them for weeks and stall their “growth”

to be forward thinking and to give up something you’ve had is too much for the average person

which is why I’m on Lemmy: there’s nothing reddit offers to me that makes me “give” it up, it’s always been there but now that there’s competition it’s worth trying something new out

I honestly think id anything Lemmy will have a slow decrease of users until it comes to a halt

what game can’t be ran by a 5800x3D ? if anything I feel like graphic cards are the biggest bottle neck right now

coming up next: Intel fires 25% of their staff, CEO gets a quarterly bonus in the millions

suits don’t give a shit about anything except lining their pockets. part of the job is to say things that get public approval which is often mistaken as them actually caring for said things

there’s a brand I like that sells fast fashion (sue me) with 0 branding on any of their clothing items

I have like a dozen sweaters from them, they aren’t as cheap as they used to be but nothing is now

this is why I keep my config as minimal as possible and everything I do is up on a GitHub repo

inb4 just use nix, cloning a repo and putting the right files in the right spots is something that can be scripted with relative ease and nix is way overkill unless you’re using it for application deployments in money making incentives

pepe entropy pepe entropy I got BOXES full of pepe

there are systems in place that know how to allocate funds better than just giving it to someone

(and yes some of these orgs are bad as well)

but imo there is a way to be altruistic and share a small percentage of your income towards and org with a good reputation (and hopefully some research was done)

which is far better than walking up to vulnerable people. sticking a camera at them and handing them bills

I’ve used Windows since the late 90s and I’ve had infinite blue screen loops before. probably a hardware issue but it’s not like this fear is irrational.

me: systemd is not that bloated

systemd:

it’s definitely free labor for them, they’re incompetent and likely checking notes on how other more competent people would approach deploying in whatever fashion they want to

I don’t understand how AI keeps getting away at delivering software that does not meet obvious specifications

they probably don’t feel anything when making any kind of purchase, it’s more like raw unfiltered greed

don’t give Terrance Howard any ideas please

that’s be very day of the year (with work)

soon it will be a 2 year anniversary, I’ve been calling it a bonus run because I envisioned a 1 year tenure

I’ve met a pathological liar, I don’t keep up with trump.

But this person would quite literally like to me about everything and I could never understand why. Even small things like “is tomorrow a holiday?”. he also had a habit of telling people fun facts but no one believed him (and sometimes it was true)

it was on me to use my real name. at the same time for any online purchase I use my real name so I didn’t give it second thought.

I just thought it was very wrong of them to expose that to friends list. I pick a nickname for a reason, so people see my nickname.

another PSA if you have an Xbox account (even for PC) and have added anyone to friends they get to see your full name, state city. It is very cool to play games while also doxing yourself. thanks Microsoft
