hey its me the guy you predicted would tell you the thing you said i would tell you

the reason people say neofetch is useless is because the information it gives you is not very detailed when compared to something like inxi for example

i want and try to be but i don’t succeed every day. i hate thinking about those times when i don’t succeed, but being mindful of those times is a big part of what i can do to succeed more often.

hell yeah garlic

true garlic heads know that the secret is to use both cooked and raw garlic to maximize your garlic per garlic

it really is crazy how different it feels to use a linux pc after being conditioned to think that windows is just how using a computer is. the way i relate it to my friends is that using windows feels like i’m constantly compromising with the computer, but using linux i own my computer and it works for me - not the other way around.

this could be a double edged sword - do not go for shampoo skip the timesave is not worth

that’s great, but most vegans you speak to will tell you that we aren’t telling the people who lack the privilege we have to go vegan. we’re asking our neighbors, our bosses, our friends - people in similar if not the very same life circumstances as us - to walk a couple aisles over from where they buy the meat in the grocery store and buy some beans instead.

people love to bring up the privilege thing, but i would argue that it is entirely irrelevant. the entire point of veganism is to do what is reasonably possible and practicable. not to tell people who don’t have the privilege to be so discerning about their diet that they are going to hell or something.

right up my alley, thank you!

trackmania has that in common with basically all speedrunning streams/content. super nice to have in the background since it can be repetitive and you can pay attention if they get a good run going :)

and there are people who speedrun probably every game you’ve ever enjoyed, so there is plenty of options!

while funny, the accolades you listed aren’t enough for billy to be elected - clearly he isn’t that great a conman!

i wouldn’t count it as impossible for really cool and well-meaning businesses like the amazon fun factory to somehow detect and ban/restrict use on VMs

I wonder

not saying we should worry for them, but youtube is run at a loss so they do actually need money from SOMEWHERE to maintain youtube. youtube still sucks and this is definitely not the way to win over users but thems the facts

came here to post almost exactly this. it’s pretty interesting and rare seeing someone questioning this sort of thing outside of a dedicated asexual community. i’m glad lemmy has people like you who are welcoming and well-informed!

I used Manjaro for about 3 years as my first daily driver Linux install, and I agree with you about the functionality. But I think where most people take issue is the unusual errors and behaviors that the maintainers have demonstrated in the past. Most people (including me) don’t want to even have to think about what would happen if the people maintaining my os updates screwed up and luckily us Linux users are spoiled for choice, so people choose/recommend other options.

why doesn’t Radiohead put out an entire album of songs like pulk/pull revolving doors? they had a really unique and cohesive idm sound going and kinda dropped it to the side

would anything change if they did?

I had been troubleshooting this or something similar a week or two ago! I’ll have to try this as soon as I get back to my PC.

side note - I believe running vinegar edit opens your default text editor (vim for me), which might make the editor-specific instructions confusing for those not experienced enough to know.

not so much that they like to be used by companies, but that they don’t care enough to change or learn how to stop it. for most people, the idea of giving up their favorite online service because of ads or whatever other predatory anti consumer shit it implements is a little extreme.

as long as it works, the vast majority of people who are not tech-literate will just use it regardless.

i’d say i choose the almost all games i play based off of one or more of these questions:

• is there automation in the game? (i.e factorio)
• is the game largely mechanics-driven?
• how much room is there for skill expression?
• does the speedrun look fun?

other than those, i pretty much only play co-op party games with friends and ~1 rpg every couple years. right now i’m playing fortune’s run, an imm sim i’ve been looking forward to since the last steam next fest - very fun so far.
