Do you think all the users replying to you are the same person? Lmao

As a non-American, I always saw the "freedom fries" thing as a mockery of Americanism, I'm having a hard time believing this was a non-satirical idea.

Considering award winning actress Margot Robbie moderates the android community and uses arch btw, I'd say it's right there on her face.

Have you seen catdog?

I'll one-up you, and I hope nobody I know reads this. I work from home as a web dev. I have ADHD. I sometimes work deep into the night because I procrastinate all day. I'll be working with one hand and stroking it rock hard with another, with no real horniness or need to cum for hours. It's just like a fidgeting thing. I'm looking at code, sleep deprived out of my mind, and somehow rock hard. I don't get it, but I'm too stressed to care.

Lol that's absolutely not true

30 year old software developer from a third world country here, 8 years of job experience on my CV. My 60k/year salary from working as a contractor for US companies puts me at around the top 99th percentile of salary earners in my country. I still cannot afford to buy a house and have instead opted to live with my parents until I've saved up enough to move out.

We're way beyond saving by planting trees. We're way beyond saving by picking up trash on the streets. This is a worldwide systemic issue that can NOT be solved by individuals reducing their carbon footprint, we as a species need a negative carbon footprint to survive this century, or even these next few decades, or even these next few years. We have a transport problem, we have a factories problem, we have an affluence problem, a conglomerates problem, we have a capitalism problem, we have a "progress" problem.

It's ridiculous to get angry at a child that sees all this and cries out in desperation, most of us will die before she and her generation does, and they're going to be left with a mess beyond repair. And it's not because Timmy ate a burger or because Anne didn't pick up trash in a park, nor is it because Bob commutes using a car, it's because our economic system demands "progress" at all cost right this moment. It's because our cities around the world prioritize cars and cheap individualistic transportation. It's because prices need to be stable, so let's throw products away to create a limit on supply. It's because it's more profitable to implement planned obsolescence than it is to implement renewability and durability into products. This is clearly not something that can be solved by a single person, whether that person is an everyday anon who does his or her best to reduce their carbon footpront, or whether that is a kid addressing the world leaders while in distress about her future life in this world. The change that needs to happen is revolution, and the world is too complacent and too scared of taking such actions to save itself, and I can't really blame people for it, even if we should.

GUI alternatives are constantly improving and becoming more visually pleasing throughout distros, and besides, there's real scenarios where normal people HAVE to use Powershell or CMD to get stuff done on Windows. This is becoming less and less of a hurdle.

Bad moment to say anything positive about LTT, even if it's true😂

I do think the Naomi Wu thing was mostly a misunderstanding taken to extremes due to fanbases toxicity (doubt she would've outright said Linus wanted her to suck his dick if the stans hadn't started harassing her, she basically jumped to all out offensiveness out of spite). This, however? Even if she was also being toxic in the workplace, it just means management had been so horrible that toxic behaviors developed with ease and would just spin out of control. This all sounds like they could just not adapt to becoming more corporate oriented fast enough, and the fact that Linus just recently stepped down as CEO is clear proof of this. He should've done that years ago.

I think a more appropriate approach is just to mention lemmy to your circles of friends and try to get any redditors you personally know to give lemmy a try, at least get the app installed so they can browse both reddit and lemmy. Lemmy won't be able to handle millions upon millions of new people, especially ones with no guidance, but communities aren't built overnight and we should do our best to get those who could use lemmy to use lemmy, one at a time. We shouldn't be trying to overthrow reddit, just give a viable alternative to those willing to try one. It's the more organic approach.
