Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•One of the most detrimental things to a productive society is when people think their actions don't make a difference
17·4 days agoThat same 10% that causes an issue and our continuing tolerance for them behaving as they do has led us to today, if you ask me, which you didn’t, so … sorry.
Thank you for being someone else who enjoys helping others!

Gaming@beehaw.org•Linux has had a great year, but there are two reasons I can't tear myself away from Windows
26·18 days agoThis article is months old, right?
Meanwhile, article after article about performance benefits, usability benefits, privacy benefits of Linux…
I am sorry this one person had a bad experience with Linux on a laptop at a conference. 🤷♂️

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Where does the drive to do anything come from?
5·26 days agoI needed this today, so thanks!
Maybe I can give you something back as I also look in horror at our world “leaders”:
We have been making life better for average people for more than 10,000 years. This, too, shall pass. And those of us who keep trying to make things better for humanity have a long winning record if you look at a big enough picture. Hang in there.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is anyone else's friends getting really distant?
7·2 months agoYou’re getting a lot of shit in the comments from people that I think is undeserved, at least based on what you have said so far.
I feel this feeling, too. I have always been one to reach out and organize and I have become tired of feeling like the only person that does that. Provided you aren’t actively doing anything wrong, I really feel like these other commenters are missing something.
When people like me, who want to organize, start feeling like no one wants it: what happens?
If you killed someone I’d have to cover up for you even though I don’t condone murder
what?
This is what gets me about the conservative mindset every time. There appears to be no actual moral framework behind it. It is only about them and their wants and desires.
Personally, if someone said this to me I would understand them to be amoral. And an amoral person has no ground to stand on to judge anyone else.
Edit for a clarity reminder: the victim in the hypothetical proposed by the father is someone else’s child, another human being who had every right to exist. But to this conservative dad, they’re apparently nothing to be concerned about. And that is the problem.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How crucial do you think it is to understanding "pop culture" stuff, in terms of forming friendships? (As in: Knowledge in Popular Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, Books, Songs, Music, Anime, etc...)
15·2 months agoYour acquaintance sounds like a cool person.
“What kinds of stuff are you into?” is probably the question you wanted to ask instead of asking about pirating random content.

World News@lemmy.world•Surgeons remove up to 100 magnets - which have been banned in the country but bought online on Temu - from New Zealand teen’s gut
515·2 months agoBecause our children being fucking dumb enough that 86 of them ate LAUNDRY DETERGENT is an issue.
When it is so easy to replace characters in strings for a computer, why would this help?

I am open to being educated, but this seems like old wives tale stuff about how to keep the AI demons away.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are there enough resources in the world to allow everyone (or at least the vast majority) to live comfortably and happily?
82·3 months agoAll of human history exists because we solved scarcity.
The past 12,000 years has been trying to convince the hoarding assholes to stop making life shitty for everyone else.
You shouldn’t just be mad, you should feel the injustice of it all in your ancestral bones.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which stages of life do you think is the best part?
1·3 months agoI’m in my late 30s now, and my body feels better than in my early 20s, as I had stopped working out during that time. Also ended up getting diagnosed for adhd in my mid 40s and just this year had vyvanse prescribed which has proved a huge help.
How old are you? What is this? I worry I am engaging with an AI here or something.
We shouldn’t be growing almonds in a desert and yet you hold that up as a defense for AI.

Hello. Thank you for typing this so that I didn’t.

Old programmers shouting at clouds.
(Old programmer here, I just shout at differently shaped clouds than this one.)
Edit: I am not sure if the respondents to this comment think I have a horse in this race. I said I don’t and that I shout at different clouds. I am just here answering a question.
Sorry, this is wholesome, but also very unhealthy. So thumbsup but also thumbsdown. :shrug:
