I can assure you Bank of America is NOT “of the people”. That bank has been the runner-up for the worst company of the year award before… Never met anyone who has liked that bank either.

Bro is eating a snek

Ever since AI reversed engineered Adobe products, we can now get it to run much easier on Linux natively. At least something positive is coming from AI. I’m not saying AI is the bees knees or anything, but i can’t lie and say im not enjoying how we’re now using AI against these greedy corpos who told us to get used to not owning our games and constantly shoving AI down our throat. Well, now we’re using it just like you wanted! 😊 (well I’m still not actually going to unironically use it but you get what I meant lol)

For real my house is falling apart and I’d love just to have a normal functioning house 😔

But they let the rich pedos roam free.

Well was it true?

For real, they seem to loveee me… last month I woke up with one crawling on me first thing in the morning.

Mild winter? Nooooo!!! The last one for me in the 60s and I barely got a winter at all last time :(

Me pretending to look like a busy and important person with lots of friends when I’m just browsing Lemmy in public

sighs This would have been pretty easy to make IRL too, idk why they needed AI…

The person who asks a question gets little to no votes despite the answer and discussion not existing at all if it weren’t for someone asking it in the first place. Sometimes it even gets the gears turning in people’s heads to spawn better discussions and questions with certain lines of thinking they otherwise wouldnt. I swear, people these days act like not knowing something trivial is a crime or is the most embarrassing thing in the world lol we need to bring back the “no stupid questions” thing that teachers used to tell students.

On the flip side, ofc the question can genuinely be bad or is something easily searchable that has a boring topic/answer, but I’m moreso just talking about ones that you’d want different opinions or perspectives on nuanced topics. Too many times I’ve seen people shamed to look stupid for not knowing things that are very specific or is uncommon knowledge that they’d want a genuine explanation of from an actual human being. There’s so many classic Reddit comments like this that wouldn’t have existed if someone didn’t ask shit in the first place lol

More importantly, I appreciate all the curious people who actually make the effort to post because I’d rather them do that than to simply ask an LLM tbh… I know redditors are infamous for being toxic and condescending to feel superior about their intelligence (and I can totally understand why someone would rather not get roasted on Reddit lmao) but I’d rather endure all of that so I can hold onto last remaining bits of genuine human interaction that’s left on the Internet before I ever resort to asking an LLM. Every website will be overrun with bots soon enough and truly nothing will be real. Talking to people on Lemmy makes me feel like I’m back on the old internet browsing forums and message boards in the 90s/2000s again. It’s the only place that isn’t enshitified to make money in every single aspect. I’d rather keep it like this.

I remember when I was still using Windows 7 the PC broke (I forget what broke) but I was able to recover all of my files just by simply booting into Ubuntu and mounting the drives. It was my first time ever using Linux and but since then I’ve been happy with using Linux and keep a USB with cachyos on it just in case.

Fuck the DEA and the FDA and any assholes trying to ban kratom (and honestly most drugs for the matter. My body, my choice). I have been successfully using it for pain and anxiety relief for years without any issues, but because of stupid fear mongering and idiots selling it at every gas station, many people’s lives will be ruined if people turn to hard drugs that will actually get you killed if it’s ever banned. I’ll be out of work and never get back on my feet if they ban it… I hate american healthcare so fucking much.

Sorry if this was a little off-topic I just needed to vent a bit. It just pisses me off and has made me hate the war on drugs even more. It’s all about money and controlling our bodies. If the US government were looking out for your best health interests, they would have made basic fucking healthcare free for their citizens.

I was more so just reflecting on how much time has passed since 2012 when AdviceAnimals memes like this were still relevant and popular. Unfortunately, much more time than “5 years” has passed since those days, we are all old now and the time is gone :(

Oh yes that’s a given!

If we have things like Heroic on Linux, and if they are just bringing the Epic Game Store only and not the anti cheat, then who cares. Nothing has really changed then, as we were always able to play all non-online games from our Epic libraries anyways.

Plus you can bet your ass that the new and official EGS app will have SO MANY issues when that is released. It was a mess (still kinda is) even on Windows. So many bugs. I wouldn’t be surprised if many Linux users will just continue using the alternatives for the smaller resources it takes up.

Reminds me of “thanks for the gold kind stranger!” Ughh.

But at the same time I don’t get pissed or would hate them for it necessarily, I’d just think it’s a little cringe and move on.

Too hot tho

It doesn’t exist, Lemmy doesn’t keep track of total updoots.
