SCNR if they were able to make good decisions, they would never have switched to chrome anyway. /s

tbh, i don't get all the mozilla/firefox hate. even "the linux project" missed the mark by a mile with his firefox critique.

whatever mozilla does, it's not even half as evil as google

oh boy, imagine this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CO6M2HsoIA

I just try to except that it will be like you described. I know the feeling all to well. By not stressing over it chances are way higher I'll come around doing at least something.

It's a vicious cycle: if you try every day to do something but never actually do it, you unconsciousness will learn to not do the thing. You haven't done it the last 30 times, why this time?

Instead, accept that the way you are trying or the goals you have set won't work for you. Change your goals, make them smaller. Instead of "I'll clean my entire room today", which is a grueling task, the goal could be: every time I walk into the kitchen, I'll take one thing with me, that belongs in the kitchen.

Your goals should not be cleaning everything, your goal should be to find a way that makes it easy for you to start.

accept that your motivation system works differently and don't be angry at yourself.

Just my two cents. Stay strong and accept yourself

...was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement.

USA has become such a fucking joke...

Same for me, no TV for the last 15 years. All I consume is online and about topics I like.

TBs of data per day? You know how much text fits into 1tb? o.O

Anyway, we seem to enjoy a pretty similar type of entertainment. For me, it's all about liking what I do. I can't stand doing things I dislike at all.

Lemme ask you about ADHD?! I'm pretty sure I have it but don't care. I am who I am. How about you?

I have a theory: information is best remembered if it is acquired solving a problem.

Play with the new tech, hit a roadblock, read and learn. That way you are motivated, know why you are reading the stuff and also only learn the stuff that isn't intuitive.

Depending on experience many things are just like something you already know and easy to learn/remember, others are not. Don't waste your time learning the first.

On the other hand, put me into a room with a teacher, who tries to teache me specifics about a tech I don't care about and I will promise you, I will learn nothing. Even worse, I will start to hate that tech.

My trick to remember:

You can link to a target without giving a name to the link. ln will use the basename of the target file then. You can't create a link without a target, so target has to go first since it's not optional. Did it for me

There is a way with chmod in bash to change files and folders with files getting no execute bit and folder do (rwX instead of rwx). It's in the man pages but good luck finding it via Google. Stackoverflow just suggests using find over and over again.

That did it for me.

non technical people are doing pretty well, because they don't try to install photoshop or nvidia drivers downloaded from the nvidia drivers page.

The "windows power user" are the hardest demographic, because they expect to know what they are doing but the don't if they are new to linux.

What did LTT write in the terminal again: "i know that this opperation will delete my gui and i am sure that i want that", presses enter and wonders why his gui is gone. go figure

let me introduce you to this: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/robo-bees-could-aid-insects-with-pollination-duties/

humans are crazy. You want to know whats wrong with trees and bees? It's pretty hard to make a profit of them

+1 for netbox

Tbh I'm astounded that politics in the past managed to get that thought reflected in law and constitution. Not guilty until proven otherwise. In dubio pro reo!

Nowadays, I would not expect that much rationality from most people.

A few years ago I went for a walk and in front of me two left leaning people were talking to each other: "I'm looking forward to Saturday" the girl said to the guy. "There is a big Nazi demo in the next big city and I can't wait to punch an Nazi"...

So in what way are you better then the Nazi, I thought.

It always starts with dehumanizing the others... then you can do whatever you want to them, without thinking about the suffering you created

baader meinhof phenomenon!

That's not how it works. It's dealing with different values. If you have 200 billion dollar but lose 201, you are in debt as fuck. Problem ist, since you gave been worth that much, people will give you another billion to help you out.

Many rich people got pretty poor after heir imaginary worth tanked. Don't draw the picture of them being invulnerable!

It's astounding how far simple trial and error has brought us. No need for scrum or agile!

UK did exactly that. They never swapped their pound with euro. I'm all for it!

If you think about it: have you ever gotten a picture of the spammer itself in an spam message

That's the spirit. Reddit and all other social media died for me during the exodus 1 1/2 years ago. Since then i go to lemmy and I'm fine. Tbh I'm not really sure if more user will not also pull commercial interests into the fediverse and if that is something I'm looking forward to, but for now, everything seems like reddit around 2010, not too big but big enough to not being out of content after scrolling for 10 mins.

It sure is. Just don't expose the management interface to the internet. And stop using the webserver for configuration, real man use ssh. Have fun

the more you know what you are doing the less impressed you are by ai. calling people that trust ai idiots is not a good start to a conversation though
