Any communities you can recommend? In the past I had many unfortunate encounters with toxic users that had no patience for newbies. If they're anything like you, I'd be very happy!
I started out with memrise, as it was very accessible and I wanted to start learning Japanese. It was fun but it's also very limiting. A mixture of Smouldering Durtles, Human Japanese and Ankidroid really accelerated things. And then the ginormous post-covid upswing in my industry came, with less colleagues than before and my brain got fried. Still trying to recover from that with therapy and whatnot. Yeah, I lost a lot of progress that way.
Any who, that was specific to learning Japanese. Wishing you success with your endeavors! Learning other languages is a huge Eye-opener for understanding other cultures better.
Mate, thanks for the information! I saved the comment and will setup a dual boot on my laptop during my next vacation. I really want to make the switch finally. I'm fed up with these mega corporations shoving their bullshit on us.
Maybe my info on sound drivers is outdated... I play guitar and rely on low latency for my interface. I use neuralDSP plugins (not just for recording, also for jamming). Is it possible to get this running somehow? Any good DAWs you know of?
I'm sorry to say this, but your partner doesn't seem very supportive. This will likely have to be a conversation between you two before it gets worse. This thing is probably racing around in your head because your relationship is important. So it's all the more important to talk to your partner about these things.
I know how this works. It's still a ridiculous echo chamber and I stumbled into a meme community on that instance and didn't know it and started to discuss Communism. They were very adamant on their stance, despite showing them contradicting evidence. Only then I noticed I was on Lemmy.ml, lol. Shortly after, I was banned.
Tankies suffer from similar delusions as Nazis do. They seem to be smarter however.
Absolutely! Especially communities instances like lemmy.ml. I just got banned for criticizing certain aspects of Communism. No alternate opinions are allowed apparently...
What kind of a backward ass piece of shit country would allow these things to fly all over the place? This entire industry is ridiculous and doomed to fail from the start.
Can I subscribe to your social media accounts? I would like to follow your opinions.
Nah, for real though, I'm so glad my best friend is still fairly analog and we use the phone for what it is (we just call each other when we want to meet up).
Lemmy is the last of social media that I use and I regularly take breaks from it because the echo chamber is very apparent and not something I wish to be consumed by.
I had to google that first. Had no idea what the sahel states had to do with socialism or communism.
Those AES states are mostly highly corrupt though. I wouldn't refer to north Korea as a livable place, plus the leaders are bathing in money while the populace dies from hunger. In Vietnam, if you know someone in politics, you can get whatever you want. I know this (nearly) first-hand. Laos, lol. And why the hell is China on that list? They're way too deep in the capitalist game to be on that list, no? People also don't mean shit to the ones in charge. Their people are executed by the thousands every year and they like to keep minorities in concentration camps. I'm sorry, those states are failed states in my opinion.
And as long as there is corruption, communism is not going to work. It's a nice theory, but it just takes one black sheep to fuck it up for everyone. I wish it weren't that way. It'd be nice to live in a world where people work for a purpose and everyone gets the same and no one has to suffer. Not going to happen.
Capitalism is plain evil though, I'll give you that.
I just installed Pop!OS :)
