  • I've got intelligible but that's about it

    • Golden retriever are the Volvo of dogs

    Jump

  • I say all good boys live forever in our hearts. I know all my previous dogs do. <3

  • It is reliable and family friendly, comfortable size, no spectacular character but also no big downs.

    • What's the most embarrassing thing about you?

    Jump

  • God damn, I though were being light hearted here. Now I got to go find a dark corner of shame.

    • Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.

    Jump

  • Use whatever works for you. Don't take selection advice from people that make their operating system of choice a crusade and identity.

    • If somebody spends the whole day watching fox or religious propaganda, gets worked up and all he can think of is owning a liberal or converting an unbeliever, is this person a victim or just gullible?

  • I think the "people are free to believe what they want to believe" is a mistake. This is the very statement that relativitises opinions and belief systems with facts and creates the illusion that they are all equal.

    Look at the "facts don't care about feelings" crowd that believe wholeheartedly that statements pandering to their feelings are facts and disregard any actual facts as fake news. I don't think it's because they decided one day to pick and choose what is a fact and what is not, but they actually can't tell that there is a difference in opinions, beliefs and facts in the first place.

    People need to accept that sometimes the truth is painful, that it contradicts what you want it to be, and worst of all - that you may have been wrong.

    Edit: that said, I think people are free to believe whatever they want to believe when it comes to unprovable existential esoterica like personal values, afterlife, religion, whatever. As long they accept it is a personal belief and not an universal truth.

    • Reddit mirrors

    Jump

  • I'm not against it if it is on a server or a cluster that are separated from the regular feeds. I don't want to be spammed with mirrored content and try to interact with bots.

    • What's a candy that's practically crack for you?

    Jump

  • Fazer Blå milk chocolate. Ghost chocolate. I buy it and then it is gone.

    • It would be terrifying if it were to actually start raining men.

    Jump

  • I think there is a Junji Ito novel with people raining from the skies. It is, as expected, quite unpleasant.

    • What does "brain fog" feel like to you?

    Jump

  • That's not brain fog. You're romanticizing a medical condition. My brain fog feels like my brain is walking through water. I know where I'm going and I know how to get there but every step on the way is slow and cumbersome and takes way more energy than it should. IDK what you are talking about. Delusional euphoria maybe.

    • Can't wait for this chair to become my sleep paralysis demon

    Jump

  • It is now the responsibility of the sleep paralysis demon to get it sorted.

    • Nuclear fusion reactor in South Korea runs at 100 million degrees C for a record-breaking 48 seconds

    Jump

  • Hot damn! Limitless fusion power is only thirty years away!

    • Is there anything on tv that isnt sex and violence

    Jump

  • Worth mentioning that it is not about football, it's about the people in and around a football team. I have zero interest in football and Ted Lasso is one of my favourite shows.

    • We should count in base four

    Jump

  • Are we trying to outmath the Danes or what is going on?

    • Chinese schools testing 10,000 locally made RISC-V-ish PCs

    Jump

  • That's ok. So do I.

    • Chinese schools testing 10,000 locally made RISC-V-ish PCs

    Jump

  • Performing sufficiently for cheap production cost, they'd be a low RISC high reward investment.

    • Do you think/feel that you are living well? Happily? Embodying your values and dreams? If so, how did this happen?

    Jump

  • Depends. I'm homebound due to an accident and illness several years ago and can't take part in activities or have a social life like I used to while I feel like I'm getting older and missing out on so much.

    But then again I'm very fortunate that I have insurance so that I don't have to worry about economy and I'm pretty good at making the best of my situation and have projects going so I feel I'm moving forward even though in other directions than before and at a highly reduced pace.

    So... It could be better. But it could be so much worse. To be honest, I feel way more thankful for what I've got than sadness of what I have not.

    • Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day

    Jump

  • I have a supposedly smart washing machine that came with the apartment. Setting it up in my locked down appliances network, it didn't work with home-assistant, required cloud access and wanted me to open up ports in the firewall. Nope. No network connection for you. You are a regular dumb old washing machine.

    • No one should be proud of where they were born

    Jump

  • I think the problem is that people conflate being proud of others with themselves. They take on the achievements of others as their own.

    This dude was from my place and was great so therefore I'm great.

    This is what nationalists, fascists, racial supremacists and other extremists do on the regular. They have no achievements of their own to be proud of so they have to steal somebody else's.

    • people that look good in still pictures are called photogenic.

    Jump

  • That's weird in my humble opinion but okay then.
