I genuinely feel for you. I have NEVER liked April fools jokes.

It feels like that doesn’t it?

Yeah like the airports before TSA existed.

TL;DR I don’t know how any of this shit works.

So when I left Reddit I wanted a similar experience, you know just the basic part, getting news from different viewpoints, cat videos, jokes, commentary TIL, ask Reddit, everything. I looked up online alternatives to Reddit and wherever I was had Lemmy as the top one. So I went there and when I was asked, I of course had no clue how to answer, so I picked .world because why would I want LESS than the whole world. I mean I didn’t see an option for .universe. Later, I was criticized for picking a shitty one by some random guy. So I went in the pullout on the side and couldn’t see any way to even change it.

I almost never post because when I was on Reddit and tried to post it was almost always taken down for some reason. Once I tried to post on Lemmy. I put it in asklemmy. It was a question about Linux and I was getting some really great feedback. I was delighted and sure enough my post was deleted and I didn’t even understand the reason. I think it said something about me not belonging to the instance. So I’m thinking why did it let me post in the first place and why did it let them answer and if it’s technically possible to do it in the first place, why disallow it? For, I guess some broken guideline? Just let it slide or maybe move it the the right place and tell me where it went.

I’m sure some of you will criticize me for not learning how it all works but man I just want to surf around and learn and be entertained and informed. I’m not looking to figure out a whole ecosystem. Some people want to take the whole car apart and others just want to get where they’re going.

God I fucking hate April fools Day.

What’s so weird about a gasket. What SHOULD be there?

LOL. I went to sea camp in the Florida Keys, when I was a kid. It’s like Summer Camp but it all revolves around water activities. We were coming back from diving on the reef. It’s pretty tiring to spend all day out there so pretty much everyone was sleeping as we headed in. The counselor who was driving the boat, noticing that I was the only one awake, called me over to the console and pointed at the compass. I kid you not, the thing was spinning around. I looked at her and asked. “Are we going to disappear now?”

And we were never seen again.

There’s a manual?

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Then why is it necessary?

Thanks for letting us know you’re an ass.

It’s not a software issue that requires research. It’s a philosophical question of requiring something purely for authoritarian reasons and this is step one.

What is the point of a field like this if you can literally put anything in it you want? Your not verifying anything. The next logical step is to add proof.

No, let’s wait till we’re at the bottom of the slope. Then start objecting.

What the hell else is it used for?

If you have to fill them in, it is.

I just started using Linux Mint 22. Does that use systemd?

Yeah my nephew saw that and told me the same thing. Gotta find that video.

I was under the impression the some Christians thought they were proof that giants existed, a la David and Goliath.

Does it have Windows?

Well I’m SHOCKED. SHOCKED to hear this revelation. If only there has been some way to know ahead of time.
