  • I don't only hate discord I don't understand it. I don't get why a chat server needs threads and most of the functions are useless in general.

    heck even in the few servers I am, most of the channels I have them silenced.

  • Internet forums will come back when AI overtakes Reddit and Discord goes awry because they go public.

  • You boycot american products because you think you are american.

    I don't because America is a continent not a single country.

  • Are you guys using your own computers to work? I connect vpn and then remote desktop.

    I can't escape windows at work because my company uses all windows.

  • "Starting over" is how we learnt Windows in the 90's too

  • I jumped ship from windows 10 to Linux on August and it's been smooth I have found alternatives for everything, but to be fair I used a lot of foss already on Windows 10.

    Started with Debian but although I love it for my homelab I didn't like it being behind on KDE release so I switched to endeavourOS and I just love it.

  • No, but greed and envy is. That's why humans have written so much in the last thousand years about greed and envy.

  • Unless the population pyramid is destroyed, but that won't happen right?

  • I worked during my mom's last months of life while taking care of her because the company allowed me to fully work from home, no question asked if I was available ok, if I wasn't ok too. And I brag about that. Otherwise I would have taken a sick leave to take care of my mom (which my country allows), but working gave me a good, I don't know how to say, sometimes when I had work and my mom didn't need me I didn't think about the situation and that was nice.

    People should make use of their rights, although in my case I found a compromise that, in my opinion, benefited me; but this company gained my loyalty for the time being.

  • Back in the day we did that because it too long to boot so we never shut it down.

    20 years later we have servers at home that we never shut down.

  • Look I didn't mean my reply as: "you suck, you should post every way possible to get away from amazon" but as a "there are some things out of our control and we cannot escape from them unless we don't use the internet at all"

    Getting away from amazon as a shop is kinda easy, just don't shop there, thanks for providing alternative shops though.

  • For the user asking for ways, the user needs ways not just one way out of a single amazon service.

  • Amazon is more than a shop. You can't escape amazon web services.

  • The lingering feeling of instability. This is my second install of OpenSUSE, after I messed up something leading to my computer having some files which it wanted to update, but using urls which didn’t exist. After this, I’ve been feeling a bit insecure and afraid of doing something that ruins my installation. I know there’s the saying that Linux ‘just works’, but I’ve never messed up a Windows installation...

    Regarding this. How often did you mess your windows installation when you started? Because I started around 8 years old with MSDOS and I screwed Windows many times, eventually I learnt what to do and what not.

    Regarding software today it's easier than it's ever been in Linux. With flatpack, appimages and the different repos.

    Anyway there is this scene in the show "Bojack Horseman" where the titular character was trying to do some exercise by running up a hill and he is tired, exhausted, another characters pass by and says: "It gets easier", "uh?" answers Bojack, "It gets easier but you have to do it every day, that's the hard part".

    What that means is, it will get easier, specially when you are young, but you have to be constant, you have to keep messing around and do backups.

    Here is the scene from Bojack

    That being said, I am huge fan of opensuse and debian but eventually on my desktop I went with endeavour-os, the only time I screwed it up it was easy to fix it by using the live-iso editing the config files and fixed, now I keep a journal when I change anything :)

  • Let this be a lesson for everyone, no matter how young one is, always have a backup plan for the care of people that's important to you, and for yourself.
