Hugging friends -- yes and easy. Snuggling -- never. And this doesn't apply only to men, it applies to women whom I don't find attractive as well.

Physical affection from someone I don't find attractive is super akward. Now I'm a cis straight male, so this principle applies to essentially all men.

P.S. OP, if you like more actual physical affection from your male friends, it's maybe just time to come out of the closet. This is lemmy, nobody is really straight around here anyways

So, if it's bacterial, isn't all that I would need for that is a course of antibiotics?

I mean, this desease is not a threat even if it starts spreading.

yep, a tiny boot error and suddenly you need to punch commands into initramfs. good luck with that headlessly.

how fkd up is the sh1t really out there? This is unheard of.

You're wasting the majority of your life. In order to enjoy the minority part. Nothing to be proud of, even less so is it justifying to be so toxic about people who do enjoy their jobs.

you might prefer a lonely isolated lifestyle, or your social environment being only your wife, kids and your suburban neighbors. But that's absolutely not the case for most people who gladly socialize at work and prefer to have a great environment there. You all collectively shitting on it and praising work from home only shows that lemmy is a club of extreme introverts.

asshole design

if you could so easily have done better, why didn't you?

Or do you mean growing up in South Africa was a generational privilege you didn't have access to?

Would you rather spend 40h a week in a dull environment exchanging your time and mental focus for money or spend 50h in a fun and relaxed environment working on something interesting, but also having great nutrition available and with a laundry, so no more household chores for you?

To me #1 seems like you're stuck exchanging the best of yourself for some paycheck. #2 sounds more like fun, but also gets you your paycheck.

If you're at a point in your life where all you want from your job, office and colleagues is to see as little as possible of that and get as much money as you could, you need to make some serious changes.

I don't think we need transformers and flying in doom tbh, but it looks like we'll have to deal with it now.

Otherwise this joke on a hexen reboot is the ultimate meme of the reboot. And is much more intriguing than doing "doom eternal plutonia experiment".

The ancient holy wars part of the lore that you read in sentinel prime is the most intriguing part of the doom guy's story. Links back to seraphim too. Walking through sentinel prime and reading all those things I really felt like I'd like to have seen those days. Oh boy, here we come!

Some, maybe 1-2% of Windows users keep yelling "I'ma switch to Linux". They then try it for a few days and give up.

You didn't matter in the first place, but also you will most likely not make a successful transition anyways.

This + confounding factors + a garbage can regression + a not so random small sample -> their findings are rubbish.

I'm lying ofc. I'm running 3k displays out of an old Thinkpad. They only need to display terminals and vim, so I don't care too much about tearing or whatever. I have easily set it up by following this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DisplayLink

I'm very confused about your deduction skills. But I confirm, even the arch wiki cannot help with making a docking station work on a random consumer laptop powered by shintel thunderbolt non-standard. It's an unbelievable rare occasion, but we must admit, the arch wiki has failed their followers here. It cannot be blamed, yet we still mourn.

Dummy, you're talking about 2 displays in 4k while using a "type-c to HDMI+DP" whatever docking. There are no laptops out there that have two connection standards simultaneously wired to one type-c port. I don't know your laptop model or the docking station model, and yet I can guarantee that you're using a DisplayLink or a similar trash technology. While you, the owner, are utterly clueless, yet throw around 4k60fps.

Your hardware setup excludes any possibility of good graphics or smooth rendering. On any platform. It works on windows so that excel monkeys could connect two monitors to their outdated laptops. And nobody who used their screens for more than text editing should be using this tech.

Now, please, go write to the customer support line of DisplayLink asking them why are they a greedy corpo, and wouldn't they be so kind to finally fuckin submit a working driver to the linux kernel. They're like 5 years late on that.

Here, they would love your "Unsolicited Idea Submission": https://support.displaylink.com/

bleah

I just hope that one day Spotify goes premium-only and all of you can go cry somewhere else.

Literally the hero of the music industry, but the whole lemmy takes a dump on them. Man, people on this platform are just all poor and uneducated. So, everything paid is bad, and no idea of what's actually behind the costs.

Go pirate some mp3s and remember, that despite how disgusting music labels are, if everyone did what you do, your favorite artist would've stopped producing their music long-long time ago. So, this simply puts you into the same leeching category with the corpos that you so despise.

nice, thanks to you I have now educated myself: http://run-a-train.urbanup.com/77653

wow,lemmy hates corpos but upvotes this guy, jeez
