What if there's a blizzard
If I look or go outside, I'll notice the blizzard, and adapt accordingly (get a scarf, umbrella...). If there's a blizzard but I don't even look outside to notice it, that means I don't have to adapt to it, and thus not even be informed of its existence.
I wonder how much of Lemmy would be left to view if you added Linux.
Star Trek. Star Trek everywhere.
Ok I’m not a nerd. Grew up in the 90s and started on windows 95… switched to a Mac in 2007 as I went into design work. I always wanted to try Linux and I was gonna install it on an old windows based laptop during covid for fun but couldn’t find the charger for it.
What’s the big fuss about Linux? Is it just an alternative to the big two or is there something special about it that the other two can’t do?
Not the person you replied to, but I do use Linux (arch btw).
Linux is a free (as in freedom) and open source software that basically powers the internet.
A vast majority of servers on the internet are running Linux. It's powerfully but that's a double edge sword. It's easy to cut yourself too if your unfamiliar with the edges.
Because it's completely open source, there are endless customizations and optimizations you can make. The art is knowing what, how, and where. But that's true of windows and macos.
It's vertically less creepy with AI and logging garbage compared to apple and Microsoft.
It's popular with nerds because it's free and customizable. IMO that can come at a cost of user-friendly experiences. But it's all about learning the edges. The other two have plenty, most are just used to it.
This is honestly the move
That a good move I dodn't think of. I usually try to not read much to not see the world ad shitty.
"Spider, Spiders, Trump" was one of the least successful children's books of all time.
Take that spider republicans
Arachno-capitalist?
Not unless you do musk as well.
Musk, Tesla, and cybertruck were my most recent additions. I do not have the bandwidth to care about one auto company who is bad at making cars.
I work as a valet driver and omg do I hate teslas. Even if Tesla was run by Bernie sanders himself I’d hate the fucking things.
Take a bunch of nerds who’ve never driven a car before and ask them to design one and poof a Tesla pops out. Horrendous. The fact that visually the cyber truck looks like a four year olds drawing turned into real life is just the icing on the cake.
The fuck did DQ ever do to you?
Activision-Blizzard maybe?
He lost his mom to an Oreo Blizzard, I can't blame him. She was eating one, got lost and never came home.
Arachnids
Is it just star trek and linux left?
Nah, they've got head and sand as well.
don't forget about 196
Mainly, but some of the star trek stuff is pretty wholesome. Kinda makes me wanna finally watch it
Having run out of my previous set of late night easy viewing media, I recently started watching The Next Generation. Was surprised to discover it is actually a fun show (even the supposedly terrible first season), provided you enjoy the veneer of mild campiness inherent to television of the 80's-90's.
The show is also giving me hope that societal progress can never be stopped, since people were able to imagine this sort of reality in much more restrictive times than we have today. I just hope they're wrong about World War 3 beginning in 2026 🥲
doesn't spider cover spiders? Does it look for whole words?
Noooooo, straight literal string I believe, I learned that the hard way
Peace or delusion? Like it or not some of those things are going to be affecting your every day life.
Lemmy isn’t the primary source of information for most people.
How is that delusional? Blocking out stressors is perfectly reasonable. Yeah you miss out on some relevant news, but lower stress might be worth it.
No, were on social media, which means anything you do that's good for your mental health is neurotypical delusional malicious bullshit
Just because it affects us doesn't mean everything has to be about it all the damn time. Besides, it doesn't affect us all equally.
I certainly would agree that not "everything has to be about it all the damn time".
Bite me :)
You know that there are at least several people in the world who are not Americans, right?
You know that the US is a leading world power that can affect other places, right? I'm not even in the US, myself.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Boost has it, I think maybe connect did as well?
Not from a Jerboa
I set up almost the exact same list this week. I like spiders though... Adding Blizzard now.
Activision Blizzard
Man I was thinking Spiders was the AA dev developing Greed fall
