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.

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.

I saw that, and when I followed the link to his farewell message, it opened a bunch of tabs and crashed firefox. Looks like he tried to put in a DDoS script in there. Just… wow. What a ride!

Hey look, there I am in the screenshot!

Welcome aboard!!! And ayy fellow sh.itjust.works bro ❤️

Imagine 4 blocklists

No, 5 blocklists.

I barely even post and im on the list, WTF did I do wrong?!

Edit: Oh I guess we’re too based for the dev to handle.

They also got into a ton of car accidents in order to make that “30 minutes or less” promise. I can understand why that didn’t last for very long.

It was around 50-60° for all of last winter for me. I live somewhere that people generally consider a cold place, too. I don’t want winter to be gone. I felt very sad that I couldn’t enjoy lots of the things that make winter so nice in the first place :(

Yeah I am the same exact way and have also been feeling very weird & sick lately (it was so bad I thought I had an actual flu or virus) but it’s definitely because I am getting too hot. I lose my appetite. I can’t think as straight. I get irritated. I start feeling lethargic but restless, and I feel lightheaded and wobbly. I only began to feel hungry and felt normal again when it’s nighttime and cooler out. That’s what clued me in to the fact that the heat was causing those issues the whole time.

This gets me worried/panicked especially with climate change making it even more unbearable. I don’t want to continue feeling miserable for half the year, every single year, for the remainder of my life…
