Short Hipocrisy version, because people I also wrote books there:
Windows sucks your data and tries to put ads everywhere. Linux is a type of operating system, that is free and open source - everybody can make their version. Thus, there are no ads, and the moment they try to spy on you, community picks up the torches. So, people who know their stuff rally behind linux. HOWEVER. Linux isn't windows - it doesn't support the same programs and needs you to fight off command line anxiety.
Today linux is basically botherless to work with, but even then, I still had to boot up command line to install some old ass drivers or some shit.
Heck, what's more - there's only one/two version of active windows, but there's many linux distributions (which are the "made by other folk" version I talked before), so you can pick the one that fits you. Most folks recommend Linux Mint as it's the most Windows like experience, but if you like chromebooks there's also Peppermint OS, and if you want full versatility there's also Debian.
I am so conflicted on this. My partner, as a child, had bad case of asthma. She went to normal doctor...which almost killed her by being overzealos with antibiotics (That doc also almost killed my best friend...). Her mother, a proper believer that natural healing is the way to go, took her then to a homeopath.
And it worked.
It bloody worked. Shit backed off enough that she's having a normal life. Granted, that homeopath also had doctorate in medicine and was long time practicing doctor, but shit.
Edit: Note to self, people dislike even actual real histories because homeopathy bad. Heh.
If you click "see more" in the description, there is a transcription! It's still kinda pain im the ass, but allows getting through it faster...it's not perfect tho.
Meanwhile men don't have access to support groups, are not supported by anyone when they admit it, get straight up ridiculed for this ever happenning by both everyday people and justice system...
It happens to both genders. But we managed to build fundamental lattice of support for one of them (fundamental as in there's still so much to do), while failing to even recognize the other one faces this problem too. We do not have to compromise on helping one side to help the other - that's straight up not an option. But we should help, and recognize the need of help, for both.
...dunno where you live, but if I started going with the tongue with my girl I would 100% get absolutely kicked out of any food place. It's not a place for that high public display of affection.
Not saying tho they did that. Just pointing out you're flat out wrong.
About lemmy.world - when running from reddit, it was literally first on the list of advised ones everywhere. Also, biggest, so it had most communities. I am actually pretty much only aware of .world, .dbzer0 and sh.itjust.works. From the normal ones anyway.
lemmy.ml is basically an instance made by creators of lemmy from what I know.
I already have my phone in hand in shops - shopping lists, reminders or even plain taking my mind off the shelves so I won't buy unnecessary shit. Then I get to checkout and...my phone is already in hand. Just boop it and done. No need to dig out wallet from pocket and then dig out card from wallet.
...imagine fuxking NASA pulling this off. After so many fuckups in USA that didn't end with nationalising, a goddamn NASA going "welp, that's it" and managing to push for nationalising Boeing...
