What a cesspool. Fuck that place. I know that it'll probably never die, but I hope one day more common folks begin to realise how fucked it is and leave.
we need to end the surveillance economy all together. Make social media unprofitable.
THIS!
It's the UK trying to out-stupid America?
Let me firstly say that I 100% agree with all of the above. And secondly, I don't work in tech.
But I think most of the frustration from the grey beards is possibly because they're burnt out. They've probably been answering the same questions their entire life. And there comes a point when the actual answer becomes, RTFM.
I don't agree it's an appropriate response. The mere fact that the acronym has profanity in it suggests it's an aggressive response.
I've been on forums before where, instead of saying "RTFM", someone had just linked me to the appropriate man page... Essentially the same message, but far more helpful and a much less insulting.
In my opinion it's not wrong to tell someone to read the manual, especially if the answer is in it, but it's how you say it that matters.
I actually don't think it'd be that uncomfortable. Not at that subtle angle..
It'd probably be better for blood flow and prevent getting a dead leg.
Jitsi is a great open source alternative to Google Meet and Zoom etc
If it works, don't try to fix it
Ahh thanks for that clarification. That makes more sense. I suppose I'm combined type too. Was likely more evident when I was younger. These days my "hyperactivity" presents as hyperfocus whereas I would climb the walls as a kid.
I'm living life in the virtual terminal, no graphical session, although the framebuffer does render graphics.
So I'm kind of using 9front for the first time and I really like it. It's really quite a simple operating system. There has certainly been a learning curve coming from Linux and BSD, but I'm getting there. Just need to set up Mail, Faces and an IRC client next.
So far I've just edited the theme, set up a couple functions, customised my riostart, edited the winwatch source code to reduce the padding etc. Everything I've done is pretty much in the acme window.
I've connected to the 9p VPS through rcpu which I find much better than using draw term. Although I suppose I'll need to use draw term to complete challenge two, set up faces for neinbook.
I'm hoping to learn how to edit the main right click menu so I can add launch commands for acme and netsurf. I also would like to edit the new window command to enable -scroll in all new windows. Any tips are welcome and appreciated.
G'day ladies, gentlemen, and all gender non-conforming or non-binary individuals of the Fediverse.
Consider this an #introduction of sorts. I am an ex-Redditor but I'm not new to Lemmy, SDF or the Fediverse. I watched on Mastodon as hordes of people migrated from the imploding bird site and it was wonderful to see. Now watching Reddit push their users towards Lemmy, I'm excited for the future of the internet. A much needed web revolution is upon us.
If you haven't yet, check out mastodon.sdf.org, matrix.sdf.org and pixelfed.sdf.org for more SDF federated goodness. Tell Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and all other social media giants to get stuffed. Cheers

I read the other day that a good response to these fuck heads is ridicule. They're not only prepared for a fight, it's what they want. What they can't stand however is being ridiculed and laughed at. The most demoralising thing you can do is to laugh in their face because of how fucking ridiculous they are.
Sure, tell them to Fuck right Off.. but do it with a chuckle and a grin. They won't know how to handle it.
