very hot take:

regular people will never get rid of twitter or meta, Facebook. YouTube. it’s incompatible with their psychology.

they need to use what other people are using, they need to see “content” from their followed users

switching to another platform will kill that for them for weeks and stall their “growth”

to be forward thinking and to give up something you’ve had is too much for the average person

which is why I’m on Lemmy: there’s nothing reddit offers to me that makes me “give” it up, it’s always been there but now that there’s competition it’s worth trying something new out

I honestly think id anything Lemmy will have a slow decrease of users until it comes to a halt

give me some of that alien sex technology

what game can’t be ran by a 5800x3D ? if anything I feel like graphic cards are the biggest bottle neck right now

coming up next: Intel fires 25% of their staff, CEO gets a quarterly bonus in the millions

there’s a brand I like that sells fast fashion (sue me) with 0 branding on any of their clothing items

I have like a dozen sweaters from them, they aren’t as cheap as they used to be but nothing is now

this is why I keep my config as minimal as possible and everything I do is up on a GitHub repo

inb4 just use nix, cloning a repo and putting the right files in the right spots is something that can be scripted with relative ease and nix is way overkill unless you’re using it for application deployments in money making incentives

me: systemd is not that bloated

systemd:

it’s definitely free labor for them, they’re incompetent and likely checking notes on how other more competent people would approach deploying in whatever fashion they want to

same, I thrived in COVID. no more commutes, literal 4.0 terms because I can nap in between online classes and do homework on 2nd monitor but pay attention when the lecture gets somewhere fuzzy

every day I commute to work I’m scared a bird will fly by and drop a fat shit on me. maybe people should be more afraid of birds

and some humans will inevitably copulate with the demons

that’s be very day of the year (with work)

soon it will be a 2 year anniversary, I’ve been calling it a bonus run because I envisioned a 1 year tenure

I’ve met a pathological liar, I don’t keep up with trump.

But this person would quite literally like to me about everything and I could never understand why. Even small things like “is tomorrow a holiday?”. he also had a habit of telling people fun facts but no one believed him (and sometimes it was true)

yes but this is good because [yet another bullshit lie they haven’t spend a second fact checking] !

it was on me to use my real name. at the same time for any online purchase I use my real name so I didn’t give it second thought.

I just thought it was very wrong of them to expose that to friends list. I pick a nickname for a reason, so people see my nickname.

another PSA if you have an Xbox account (even for PC) and have added anyone to friends they get to see your full name, state city. It is very cool to play games while also doxing yourself. thanks Microsoft

I play music, games, code , read. Just with music alone I’m already home stuck because of my work schedule. Seriously there is so much in piano technique that with a full time job ur pretty much going straight home and practicing.

Given you care about your hobbies.

Comics have always been campy to me. Anime when I grew up felt like a new direction. It did gritty before gritty was cool. The entire aesthetic was new and creative.

The music overshadowed anything western animation (at the time) had. I think the cultural impact made waves and western animation is pretty good now.

Although I consider the two things to be very different.
