retrieval4558,

Yeah my daily driver for awhile has been Debian stable. All the normal day to day tasks can very easily be accomplished with only gui tools. My CLI stuff is more or less limited to ssh access to other machines and some light docker tinkering.

retrieval4558,

Honestly the reason is I thought that it was an easy way to fit my use case- I just may have misunderstood what it was capable of.

What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke?

Maybe they're used to various shortcuts in their writing that they picked up before autocorrect became common, but these habits are too idiosyncratic for autocorrect to handle properly. However, that doesn't explain the emails I've had to decipher that were typed on desktop keyboards. Has anyone else younger than 45 or so felt similarly frustrated with geriatrics' messages?

Not sure who the “we” is in your post but Imo the biggest influence on meme culture was 4chan and similar dumpster fire communities of the early/adolescent Internet.

Did you also walk to school uphill both ways, barefoot on snow and broken glass?

I used t9 in high school. In retrospect it’s obviously unusably clunky, but I do miss being able to text totally blindly in my pocket or something.

Massive issues with sleep and desperate for a solution.

I’ve been struggling with sleep issues for over a decade now. My Doctor has prescribed me all sorts of medication, all of which has had many adverse side effects. What I do know that works, is Xanax. My wife was prescribed it for some stress issues and occasionally will give me one so I can finally sleep. Obviously asking my...

retrieval4558,

Agree wholeheartedly with this comment and the parent comment.

It’s frustrating to hear but sleep hygiene is the answer for the vast majority of people.

Xanax and benzos in general will make your sleep worse in the long term. Medium term even. They should be avoided.

It’s just kind of the opposite of what was cool when we were kids.

That being said, I don’t know any serious person who gives a shit. It happens literally every generation. Who cares. Wear what you want.

retrieval4558,

Elden Ring for sure. Lots of tools to help with difficulty, and you can leave and go somewhere else.

retrieval4558,

Is every person who goes on there and types, “Loli” or “Anya from spy x family, realistic, NSFW” (that’s an underaged character) going to get a letter in the mail from the FBI?

I’ll throw that baby out with the bathwater to be honest.

retrieval4558,

Damn metaphors must scare the shit out of you, huh.

And no I don’t mean you literally defecate at the thought.

retrieval4558,

I’m pro sex work, however:

I have mixed feelings about the current ubiquity of online sex work like onlyfans. In theory I’ve definitely got nothing against it but I’m worried that a lot of young women are faced with shitty economic prospects vs potentially lots of money on onlyfans. The alternatives are so poor sometimes that it feels like coercion.

I just wish young people had better options all together.

retrieval4558,

Also healthcare here. I do something similar, both for already dead family members and critically ill patients.

I don’t so much focus on the name, but ask a general “can you tell me about them?”

It reinforces to people that you care and helps forge a connection.

I'm finally getting the hang of Sekiro

I’ve been playing this game off and on, starting over since it came out. I was a hardcore Bloodborne player, but also played a lot of elden ring and ds3. Sekiro never clicked, I thought it was slick and the action felt incredible but I just couldn’t get past the beginning. Finally I’ve broken through and am having a blast,...

retrieval4558,

Sekiro is so much fun once it clicks. Honestly it took me all the way until >!Sword Saint Ishin!< but suddenly I went all flow state on him, and beasted through the game for all the other endings afterwards.

retrieval4558,

Honestly I’d just go low-ish tech and give them a key, or install a lock with a keypad and teach them a number. The security problems with automatic smart locks are too big, in my opinion.

retrieval4558,

The majority of both Drake’s and Kanye’s discographies are horrible. I’ve had this opinion since way before they’ve had their public drama.

retrieval4558,

I think it’s more that I’m nostalgic for the situations that used to make me sad because they were more simple than the problems I have now (although they never feel that way at the time). Being sad about sports and girls in high school looks way more fun in retrospect than being sad about health problems and the state of the world.

retrieval4558,

I did that exact thing and it is basically unusable. And that was before all network connectivity broke leaving it actually unusable. I also haven’t been able to flash the normal rom back so it’s basically a brick now.

0/10 would not recommend

There’s a good behind the bastards episode on him (a good guy holiday episode; he’s not a bastard)

retrieval4558,

Salo: 120 Days of Sodom or Antichrist, probably

Why are you so convinced that an advertising platform that a 1/3rd of the country is glued to is unsustainable. And that’s ignoring the rest of the world, which is the majority of their user base.
