Yep, that was pretty much me. In my case, I bought a new PC, and I decided I just didn't want to put windows on it. I've been on linux ever since. And yeah, that was after a couple of decades of trying to do that and failing :)
If I could give people the option to choose to turn on downvotes for just themselves, I would do that, or if I could block downvotes from remote instances, but allow them from our users, I would do that. But I can't. The only option is enabled our disabled. So the downvotes stay off so that they don't get used against the openly queer instance.
Another thing is that I noticed there's a Truscum community here
Have a closer look :) It's an anti gatekeeping community that is very much anti truscum.
Unless there is a community I don't know about it. If so, please let me know which community it is, and I'll ban it with great joy.
Great way to feel lonely and isolated! It's already an issue "gifted" folk struggle with, and the more "gifted" you are, the more isolated you tend to be
We will upgrade, but I don't have a specific time frame for you. It will depend on real life pressures, and there isn't much to require a quick upgrade in 0.19.8
Interestingly, I'd be forced to take this deal if wiping my memory of it was a side effect of rejecting it.
And when I took it? Yeah, the money would influence me and self interest would shape some of my decisions, but at the end of the day, I have to live with myself. If my decisions aren't also shaped by empathy and compassion for others, then I'd have lost myself.
does not really happen any differently outside the event horizon of a black hole
I mean, that's a pretty big caveat, given that strength of the gravitational force in the object was big enough to create the event horizon in the first place
If you open cachy hello, you'll see an option to install snapper support there. I should also add, you need to use grub for the boot images to work when you do a kernel upgrade
I don't know the details, but CachyOS uses a pacman hook to do exactly that, so it's possible. It looks like there are AUR packages to do the same thing, but I haven't looked at them
I was on the broader fediverse for a year or so before lemmy took off, and I got used to the very strong left leaning environment I found there, where compassion for your impact on the people around you was built in to the norms of many of the communities. I wasn't used to it, but I was so glad to have found it.
And then lemmy happened. And unlike the rest of the fediverse, which was largely populated by people escaping twitter because it had been taken over by a fascist, the lemmy population was largely people escaping reddit because they could no longer use 3rd party apps. And the difference in ideology between those two groups is night and day.
To me, the broader fediverse feels left wing and comfortable. Lemmy feels centrist, where half of my time as an admin is banning trolls and bigots spreading hate.
tl;dr - Your definition of leftist is not my definition of leftist.
I'm a hobby photographer. I have to keep a windows machine in my house just so I can run some of the software I need for my photography.
I've transitioned what I can to linux equivalents, and digiKam and Darktable are my daily drivers now, but Darktable is a HUGE learning curve for someone who hasn't used it before. You are literally starting again with learning how to edit your images. It's not simply a case of learning "how to do the same things in a new environment" but "learning a new paradigm, almost from the ground up". I love Darktable, but it took a dedicated desire not to run windows software and then months of practice before I could start to reproduce things that I could do in Lightroom in minutes with little experience.
And on top of that, dedicated noise reduction software (which requires a good GPU) basically doesn't exist on linux, and is next to impossible to run with wine or even VMs, because of the reliance on a GPU. And that means I have to keep a windows machine around to run my noise reduction. Dual booting doesn't even work, because that means my photo workflow suddenly needs a reboot. So, a second machine, which is not ideal...
Which is a lot of words to say that it's not always about being resistant to change or accepting alternatives. Sometimes there are no alternatives, and sometimes the "change" is a HUGE change. Unless a photographer is driven by ideological reasons to move off Windows like I was, it's not going to be worth the hit for most people. And even then, I still have to run a windows box too...
It's Adaline, not Adeline!
