I was talking to a friend years ago and I mentioned this same thing. I tried and couldn’t imagine feeling relaxed even if I won the lotto or something. We were wondering how long it would take to relax, if ever.

I think most people feel that way.

“We don’t have enough personal data points from fediverse users to track consumer data points”

“…I know. I’ll just ask them to give me their personal info. Trust me, this always works.”

“No way. They care about their anonymity, it’s the reason a lot of them are there.”

Glad to read that it’s not just me.

It’s weird watching people bitch or take sides on DE like it’s a sporting event. Which is another thing I don’t really get.

LOL.

Divide by 2 is the same as multiply by 1/2. Pretty basic arithmetic actually.

I can’t remember if I’ve seen a house without a garage and/or driveway.

Same thing really.

Yeah, should have been “Trust us…or not. Doesn’t matter, we’ll do what we want regardless.”

VPN and different mirrors. Stupid Big Tech laws being pushed into 1/2 of the states with almost the same language. It’s something to address in the new Constitution after this country burns down.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

I loved tripping in college and as a young adult. I grew up, friends changed…and now I find myself a few decades down the line thinking I just want to drop a little and I have no contacts anymore. So frustrating.

I drove OTR a couple decades ago. I knew several drivers that had regular stops across the country. If he was hanging around for 2 weeks, and not just a few days waiting to catch up with his log, he’s probably not having another big thing going. Just the normal.

What does that do?

Religion. Even when I’ve taken the time to look up the difference is between a Catholic and a Christian, or a Shia and a Sunni, it seems like within minutes at most, that knowledge just sublimates.

I’ve been in camp Vim for decades, but I almost always suggest micro to people dipping their toe into Linux. I can’t imagine thinking nano, or whatever, would be more comfortable unless the person has never used a computer before.

Same. Makes nano a fucking nightmare.

It’s been going to shit for years, but it is almost incomprehensible how quickly it has fallen in the last 6-12 months. If I try to find any review/comparison in an attempt to be a somewhat informed consumer, and it’s just all slop.
