I’ve only seen one of them up close in person and it was pretty cool, I do admit. But I still don’t want one for myself. Something about the whole thing just feels weird and off. I’d be constantly feeling like it was going to split apart from plastic fatigue if I had one.
I know that, like a lot of my fellow 'Muricans, I will try to avoid seeing a health care provider until I absolutely have to. Random inexplicable pain? Hopefully it gets better on its own in a few days.
Which I know is not at all smart, but 1. there are not enough doctors to go around and 2. the ones we do have are understandably burned out AF and 3. the insurance bullshit is brutal.
The insurance carriers make it very clear that you have done something wrong if you go see a health care provider.
“Insurance is for collecting premiums only”. They are the “no take, only throw” dog meme in real life.
“Dogs and cats sleeping together!”
Proxy settings in about:config?
Go away, robut!
woop-woop-woop-woop
Many times you can compact that stuff down with minimal effort. Just use the bag or whatever you’re throwing away so that you aren’t touching the other garbage with your hand.
GRRM was trolling all along.
I know lemmy hates Google (for good reasons)…but Google Drive has been the GOAT for me for many years. I have never used OneDrive, in spite of it constantly annoying TF out of me to “just try me, bro!”
The 12 year old video below explains the root cause of economic misery. Technology is a tool that can be used for good or evil. But the ruling class wants ALL the money. So technology is often used for more efficient oppression.
Meanwhile, we working class folks are too busy working and/or distracted (often fighting with each other) to mount any real resistance.
Fortunately I work in a small shop and am a domain admin. Using a combo of Powershell and ShutUp10, I cut out as much of the stupid bloat and spyware as I can. The OS still sucks, but it’s much more tolerable with that crap turned off.
One of these days I’m going to get off my lazy butt and create a custom Windows 11 installation ISO with the nonsense pre-removed.
(And yes, I also use Linux, and prefer it.)
Because I know that Andre Rush is a passionate chef. He’s well-known. Look him up!
When 45 was in office, the WH kitchen staff complained that they were very under-utilized compared to other presidents.
The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD’s and KFC for 4 years.
They make use it at my job. I hate it.
I totally get that.
Check out Textpad. You might like it. The only nuisance with it is the default config settings are a little oddball (things like keyboard shortcuts, etc). But it’s highly configurable so you can set it up the way you like and then it’s good. It has more features than Notepad, but it’s still pretty simple and can do cool things like search files / folders for strings, has regex support, etc. But the extras stay out of your way and it’s pretty clean and simple for “notepad-like” usage.
For whatever it’s worth, I’ve had some very positive interactions on here, too. And I’ve seen questions answered when people needed help. And generally useful info types of posts. The comics and memes are often good (if you like those, those are not everyone’s cup of tea). Anyway, it’s not all jackasses all the time on Lemmy.
I’m also starting to think social media plus human nature = inherently bad combo. It’s not always bad, but it trends that way over time and at large scales.
Real identity social media is bad because creepy corporations track your every move and people post fake and highly curated profiles.
Anonymous social media is bad because too many people behave like unfiltered belligerent asholes.
