GregorGizeh,

Remember, these are the people who consider Adidas tracksuits the epitome of fashion and a status symbol.

GregorGizeh,

Honestly I dont understand this experience. I haven’t had any bad interactions with .ml users at all, they seem largely normal people stuck on the flagship instance. What/where are you going to get them riled up like that?

I only blocked (not defederated) hexbear and lemmygrad, this way I can at least still interact with their users outside the instance, and ml users have not given me any reason so far.

Defederating should be a last ditch effort, not the first thing people demand when they disagree with another instance. Block the instance client side if you dont care for their content.

GregorGizeh,

Eh, sounds like he is just doing some harmless trolling, I dont think that’s disrespectful. Basically the internet equivalent of a prank

GregorGizeh, (edited )

I think it is a stupid change myself, but as far as I (recent Linux convert) can tell, mint is considered the go to distro for people coming freshly over from windows, and decidedly caters to beginners. A default setting for maximum user protection makes sense for that.

GregorGizeh, (edited )

I dont know, it is just the general consensus on every “I want to drop windows but i am scared of Linux” post ever made, and from my personal experience I found it actually too much like windows (made a live boot before I chose another distro).

GregorGizeh,

Well I agreed that it is an ultimately bad change, but I can see how the beginner mode mentality would lead to this conclusion. Provide the new user with the most stable and bug free experience possible, and after some time they will probably turn that setting off on their own to get all that popular software.

I don't want to form parasocial relationships with people I fap to

Parasocial relationships refer to one-sided relationships in which a person develops a strong sense of connection, intimacy, or familiarity with someone they don’t know, most often celebrities or media personalities. These relationships exist only in the mind of the individual, who experiences a bond despite the lack of...

GregorGizeh,

Forming parasocial relationships is fine.

They really aren’t, before this egirl insanity began people who obsessed over some distant celebrity were considered pathetic to dangerous (when it came with stalker behavior).

The fact that it becomes more widespread is a symptom of the failing societal fabric and community.

People are so detached and lonely even amongst millions of others they seek emotional support and validation, even romantic fulfillment, in these unhealthy ways.

GregorGizeh,

I have a pretty good memory for faces, just really not for names. I know where and when I met someone but I can’t tell you their name even if we met a bunch of times.

People outside the anglosphere were/are being blasted with American pop music just the same, with only a fraction of them understanding anything beyond the hook of any song. And those are simarly fucked up, so my guess is the effect is zero.

GregorGizeh,

Of course Lemmy allows porn, what

It is your instance that is so prudish they defederated all porn instances, blocked the rest, and put up a rule forbidding it. You will need to make an account somewhere else with an instance that doesnt defederate so much.

GregorGizeh,

Check out bazzite.gg

It is a very beginner friendly, gaming focused distro that essentially aims to be steamOS on PC. It even has rollback functionality if you accidentally break something.

GregorGizeh,

Well its not that much worse: https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/a1291e5d-f8ab-4ff3-af03-ef9ee606c8ce.webp

Apparently there are also more normal pictures of her and one that’s way worse than this or the op, so my guess is some sort of plastic surgery obsession developing in more recent times

GregorGizeh,

My current TV is closing in on a decade now and even then I specifically bought it as a large screen for my computer. I dont think it has ever been hooked up to regular tv cable in all that time

GregorGizeh,

Just look at the fine print. Also of course it is ai, you can’t bread and deep fry something and keep this much detail. There is a reason fried foods are simple shapes, even those for kids who are marketed to with fun shapes

GregorGizeh,

Sadly i cant play those, i literally can’t see shit on these dark foggy maps. Completely pointless, same reason why I only do daytime missions if at all possible.

GregorGizeh,

Oh wow, that’s a dick move lol

GregorGizeh,

I’m so sorry that happened to you, I feel the community really has gone downhill recently

GregorGizeh,

It seems so pathetically small that this is what a politician costs. This is less than 2% of one billion, which in itself is just a fracture of what the rich have to their name. If you’re gonna whore out your politics at least have the dignity to ask for more than chump change

GregorGizeh,

Why?

If they all up and died, and their heirs too, all that absurd wealth would fall back to society where it belongs and would over night end modern day capitalism. All for the low cost of a few hundred morally bankrupt people all over the world, who by all objective measures exhibit parasitic behavior towards everyone else. More people die in car crashes each year.

GregorGizeh,

Betting this is someone desiring to monetize some or all of what they are offering. Could be any malicious government too

GregorGizeh,

Many of the difficulties we westerners have understanding the chinese culture and mentality can be alleviated by learning about the Chinese concept of “face”.

en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Face_(sociological_concept)

Now this is fairly basic and often cited in discussions such as this one, but it still plays a huge role in the Chinese mindset and under which their subconscious decision-making is happening.

Interestingly this has a lot of parallels to Klingon culture and their understanding of honor, if you happen to be a trek nerd.

GregorGizeh,

Curiously I haven’t had any of those glitches, bugs, crashes, performance dips and so forth that supposedly plague the game since release… For me it has been nothing but enjoyable since I bought in in 23.

GregorGizeh,

Oh yeah i didn’t want to diminish your experience, the game certainly was plagued with a disastrous rushed launch and still doesnt deliver everything people wanted out of the game. But i found it quite enjoyable gameplay in an amazing and compelling setting and have curiously not experienced any of the issues others seem to have. Even playing it under Linux was a non issue for me. That being said it is of course completely valid to refund the game if your experience was this terrible.
