yeah I take a lot ot torvalds histeria news items with a grain of salt.

what is a social warrior? is it some sort of shortening of social justice warrior?

yeah its crazy. they want to keep your credit card and then they want to have your bank account info. its like eff off. It really annoys me because the whole bill pay thing from banks could be made much better but I feel every place is desperate to not work with it.

I know this is a little off from your reply but seriously there are so many things that fight me for me to send them money to pay for it rather than they sucking the money from me. its like no. just no.

wait. wait. wait. theres a monthly fee as well?

I felt like robo simian made sense for versatility. I can see some thing that is more like a carbon atom so it can naturally tripod but can go to 2 or even one limb as base and have more grasping limbs.

yeah its hard to keep track who the sugar daddies are with some of these things.

isn’t ddg basically google?

yeah I watch whats free. I don’t have any particular qualms at this point about pirating but I literally don’t see anything as worth the bother. im all enthused because I found some broadcast stations are playing star treks and mash and barney miller and such. they had a twilight zone marathon over the weekend.

Yeah I can’t even say that. There is more entertainment and its a lot more accessible. Better special effects are great but that is so low on quality of life things I don’t care to lose it. Education is kinda the same. Not really better but more access to information but less information is high quality as a percentage of what you have access to. Honestly cars themselves are another problematic technology to begin with.

I often wonder this. I love computers and the internet but when it comes to quality of life I don’t see much imporvement over when I was young and the world was still analog. I mean I would not want to live in a time before electricity and definately before plumbing and sewer. a nice metro line is great and well as geared bicycles. libraries to. can’t really say much from the computer age really is all that great.

this is one of the capabilities that would be nice for piefed/lemmy/mbin. So many communities could use a wiki and if your running the community its going to be way more convenient to manage the wiki in the same space with the same login. Would definately need a download upload thing.

my feed view is not based on public voting so I don’t really care.

why? Theoretically people should have an innate interest enough to make a bit of effort worth it. I think a lot of people want something to be a thing but aren’t really into it enough to be making a community about it. Which is fine if they don’t make one but if they are going to half ass one into being it would be better for them not to.

sidebars need a lot of love. No one should really be making a community until they are ready to explain what their community is about and not only link to other communities using the proper linking for federation but also wikis and resources and such. I appreciate people running communities but if little effort is going to be put in I rather just not have the community. Now granted some communities do a decent job with the sidebar but its certainly not the norm in the fediverse.

won’t someone think of the children! this is why blocking is good. block bs. its fine to treat online like you would the real world.

there actually is a thing where every account is part of the system using tokens. I keep on meaning to do it more https://nostr-resources.com/#learn-more

the federation. that no one single entity dominates it much. I know a bunch of people are going to list the large instances but they can by and large all be read by smaller instances and the fact there are several is better than one corpo owner. oh an that is gpl of course.

im an it person but have been for a long time and im past the point of wanting to deal with my system. I just want it to work and I have heard this before from other tech folks. So I think there are others besides new to linux folk that like them. I also think linux is escaping from only techy types know of it box who need simple systems they can just use.

I used it. Its a nice out of box distro that is windows like in gui setup and lets you just install and go. That being said I eventually wanted better windows type snapping behavior and installed kde. I went to bazzite just to have something out of the box ready for gaming and I like the whole right only image thing. Anything debian based is nice to because many websites with windows downloads offer a .deb option. I use app image for most of my software though much like on windows I used portable apps as it makes moving to a new machine easier.
