"What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, and it could be a good opportunity to share some of the feedback that usually gets commented here :)

Jump

  • I often do surveys online and the American ones always ask this. They like to lump all people who look alike together and don't even bother asking where you're from. They really believe we are split in different species or something.

    • I have been told ever since I was a little shit that when you die you go to heaven first wait in line for St Peter to judge you at the pearly gates? Is this in the Bible? I thought god did judging

    Jump

  • I've never heard about Peter judging or the gates etc. in all my religious upbringing and didn't realize this was an actual belief.

    I just knew this pearly gates thing as a movie cliché, from Tom and Jerry to modern shows copying that idea.

  • You mean all those Poles coming over every year are not white, or migrating for work doesn't make them migrant workers?

  • Why Brits and Americans? Every major city has expats.

    You go abroad for a job, usually temporarily -> expat

    You give up your citizenship to move to another country -> immigrant

    • Do you honestly see yourself ever retiring and how?

    Jump

  • No. Retirement age is already higher than the age I'll probably reach, considering hereditary bad stuff. Aside from that, I have no skills and keep getting fired. Not to mention our planet will be on fire by then anyway.

    • Is there any hope for me?

    Jump

  • Try to start over. Go to a new place, try to meet new people, etc. I was in a very similar situation and just leaving it all behind helped.

    • What are some small things that grind your gears?

    Jump

  • People who act like they are blind to others in the supermarket. Not making space for others, blocking us with their trolley etc. It's not a museum.

    • Playing Repacked windows games on linux

    Jump

  • Does Lutris require some special setup?

    Using fitgirl repacks are a bit hit and miss for me. But if they don't work, Lutris doesn't help.

    • What higher/specialized ed do you have? How'd it help you get/keep your job?

    Jump

  • I was also told to get any diploma because it would somehow prove you'll be good at an unrelated job.

    Finished my studies during a recession, nobody would hire someone without work experience and I was suddenly overqualified for other jobs.

    Getting a diploma wasn't a good idea.

    • The g spot is in the ear canal

    Jump

  • I wouldn't take it that far, just as far as my finger can go

  • I switched to just using toilet paper. Not sure how much safer it is.

    • What part of clothe shopping annoys you most?

    Jump

  • It's hard for men. Big stores that just squeeze in a small section in the back for men. Trying 3 different items: one's too big, one's too tight, but they're all the same size.

    • What do you like/dislike about lemmy?

    Jump

  • It takes some time to block out stuff to make Lemmy usable. So much anime, bots and dumb American politics.

    It's nice there are a bunch of apps for Lemmy, but using it without an app is not very welcoming. It needs a lot of improvement (e.g. manually compose urls to subscribe to communities on other servers).

    • What is one relatively unknown thing that your country does much better than elsewhere, but that most people don't know about?

    Jump

  • It's also fun that we can go to Germany and still get cash out for free whereas Germans have to pay a fee for using their own ATMs.

    • If tomorrow you had 24 fully uninterrupted free hours to do with as you please, how would you spend your time?

    Jump

  • Just lost my job so I have this time. I want to travel a bit later, but until I can leave, I'm doing nothing at all. Years of fulltime work just killed off all social life, any motivation. Now that I'm finally free, I feel so dead inside that I just want to do absolutely nothing for a while.

    • What's an aspect of life that's currently done privately that you think should be communalized?

    Jump

  • Yes, very limited space. Also the cost of running it. And I don't want to invest in anything really because I don't want to stay here. I'll wait until I have a better place.

    • Browsing "All" and images of nsfw-nature

    Jump

  • A lot of people are overusing it. Imo comics, art etc. shouldn't be NSFW.

    • What's an aspect of life that's currently done privately that you think should be communalized?

    Jump

  • No

    Jump

  • Yeah laundromats are annoying. I was rather thinking to have some space in the apartment building to share with neighbors.

    It sucks to have drying racks taking up all my living space.
