You need to dedicate time to adopt and learn how to get a local account on Windows and clear out the bullshit you don't want.

I recently switched to Linux. At first I was surprised at how easy it was to set up and get working, then I was annoyed at having to look up how to do every little thing I know how to do on Windows and considered switching back.

Then I booted into Windows and in less than 10 minutes was fed up the whole OS. I realized I had to look up things just as often as I was on Linux, but in Linux it was because I didn't know where it was, where as on Windows it was actively hidden from me and fighting me every step of the way.
Windows is in no way easier, It's just the struggle you've gotten so used to fighting with every single day that you've forgotten it exists.

OHHHH ROSS AND RACHEL I GET IT NOW!!!"

My older brother watched Friends every single night, rerun after rerun. Ross and Rachel are the reason I immediately dislike any "will they / won't they" plots when watching a new show.

Huge efforts were made to reduce noise and vibration, thereby creating a pleasant onboard environment.

Oh what a good billionaire, his efforts to make his onboard environment more pleasant is also beneficial to the outside environment! Such a giver!

The off-white exterior and synthetic handrails require less cleaning, for example.

The colour of paint chosen for his mega yacht really shows how much he cares!

How about you ask yourself how many scientists and engineers HE paid to have a job to work on this?

And you haven't been listening. I'm not repeating myself on this point anymore.

You just see a yacht and think the worse. Worlds far less black and white.

Literally the opposite of what I said at the end of my previous post. If you're not going to bother to read what I say then what are we doing here?

Right, Terraria and Stardew Valley constantly releasing new content for free is lowering standards... 🙄

The later it pops the worse it will be.

"I keep being dismissive of people who disagree with me and calling them toxic, yet for some reason I keep getting downvotes. Damn brigaders!"

The modern world is really demonstrating how success has nothing to do with skill or competence.

even prior to that it was primarily the political party of "I want to keep slaves and I'm not going to let you stop me"

Still is.

That was Trump. I know conservatives like to believe they're the same person but they really aren't.

to bring his dream vessel to fruition.

God how much money was wasted on havingthousands of people work on the design of his vanity project?

Yes, it's better than other vanity projects, but it is still a wasteful vanity project.

First you need to make up your mind if that post is me being sensitive or me being toxic.

(Hint: it's me being sarcastic)

You know what would further more research than give offering a portion of your super yacht to scientific research? Not building a billion dollar super yacht and giving that money to scientific research instead. Let the people who know what they're doing decide what they need and not be beholden to your whims.

 

Received a text from a pollster asking me who I'm going to vote for, is there any good reason to respond?

 

This is a weird one.

I am subscribed to Risa@startrek.website When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

 

I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
