  • I agree with your points but I disagree with your belief that all of them are shit. I’m in some to follow some small youtuber because I keep not getting notified of their be uploads (I’ve been following Etho’s Lab for over a decade and watched every single upload of his as soon as possible since then but youtube still doesn’t show me his videos), an artist server to catch their latest drawings and go hang out with other people who like his art and nargacuga in general as well as some friend servers to play games and share memes. I literally just got out of a call I was for about 4 to 5 hours with my friend as I played one game and they played another until enough people got together to continue playing R.E.P.O.

    Discord has its horrible servers, but you can def find some good places to hang out, you just have to avoid the absolutely gigantic ones with hundreds of people, but even then you can get good ones. Etho’s fan server is big but I’ve always had a great time there. The labrats one is another that I’ve had a great time sharing my horrible lab stories with and gotten good tips back. Discord is not too different from other social networks, if you don’t curate it right, you will get a lot of shit, but if you manage to get it right it can be great





  • Ahhh, so you are the type of dumb that heard the name and assumed the wrong interpretation and ran with it. The so-called “forever chemicals” are called that because they themselves don’t really break down, but they don’t give that property to other things. These “forever chemicals” are stuff like teflon, they’re stuff that doesn’t react with other things and that makes them nonstick, something that can be useful in a bunch of different things besides just nonstick pans, but because they’re so nonstick, it’s difficult to make them stay in the pan or whatever industrial machine they’re a part of, so they can flake off and be in the end product, in our food, water, soil and much more, and since like I said before they’re not reactive, they can just stay there as their molecules, forever. Using them in a machine doesn’t give the machine more durability or extends it’s work life, it just helps it not stick to stuff






  • I’ve even taken out the drive that I had Linux installed, windows still has the issue, it started barely happening a year or so ago but recently it’s gotten much much worse and it happens in waves(?) where it’ll not have any issues for several days and then one day it will fail to wake up every time it goes to sleep, except when I’m testing. I recall testing the drive check on both Linux and windows, but both came out clean.

    My bf and I have narrowed it down to probably being the power supply (last year there were a bunch of power outages after a historical flood here in southern Brazil) but the ram is also unstable at timings that it used to run perfectly fine, but the ram test came out clean so it’s a big mess of possibilities RN. I’m just waiting for Monday to be able to buy a new power supply and a UPS to test, but even then we’re still unsure if this will truly fix it or if I’ll need to get a new motherboard.


  • I was running mint, but had to go back to windows because of a hardware bug I’m still trying to fix where my PC will randomly not wake up from sleep and that results in corrupted drives, which windows can fix with it’s automated repair at boot, but Linux has done commands that I need to run and if I fuck it up it would fuck my computer up even more, so until I can fix the hardware bug I’m stuck on windows, but by fuck do I hate it. I prefer Linux so much more over windows, so much more convenient, efficient, personalizable and it actually works in many places where windows simply doesn’t even with a lot of fiddling around in settings and shit






  • With the way historians kept interpreting blatant homosexual relationships through history as just “great friendships” I don’t trust generalizations in any direction. One could def claim that the woman were being kidnapped because no woman would choose to leave all the manly man they knew at home, no no. But it could also have legitimately happened, that many/most were kidnapped and raped, but we might never know for sure. Hell, most of the things we know from the vikings has already been altered way back then by christians rewriting their legends and stories, there’s so much reinterpretation and biases behind written stories about ancient civilizations it’s almost impossible to conclusively say anything about people



  • 10 times as long beating yourself up? How about at least 35 times at a minimum? Had to fix a little bit of text in some presentation slides for a class, I had from December 24 until January 6th to do it, and I kept beating myself up for not doing it until the night between January 5 to January 6, where I did it all in one sitting, taking me about 6 hours to do it all, and I could have done it even sooner than December 24, all the way back to the beginning of December, but I procrastinated it as well… Fucking hate how I cannot get myself to work on shit until the last fucking minute


  • I think that the big thing for the general public is not that Linux will now be easy to use/accessible, it currently is pretty much there with many different distros, it’s that there’s a known face behind it. In the general public Linux is just this weird thing that isn’t really attached to anything besides the super tech savvy, so they think they can’t use it because they aren’t super tech savvy. By making it steam’s Linux, they can go “oh I know steam, they do stuff really well for people like me! This is probably easy enough that I can use!”

    Another thing that will help is a centralization of support. With enough people using it questions and bugs will be more common and more accessible as well as answered. Currently for you to find help for your issue you need to look for your specific distro and try to also parse if the answers for other distros would help you with your issue.
