Skooshjones,

Lol nice.

Skooshjones,

Hardcore.

Skooshjones,

James or John probably.

Skooshjones,

I scream laughed at this story lol, wasn't expecting that twist xD

Skooshjones,

Running my own NC server privately. For me, when it works, it's awesome, but it has the same issues that lots of FOSS software has, just random jank.

Seemingly random errors when updating. Sometimes my users randomly can't log in. No apparent reason, for a couple hours, their logins fail, then they start working again without any changes happening.

Remote VPS and very stable connections. Certain apps will just crash randomly, like Decks, they sometimes just freeze up.

My VPS hardware is above the recommended minimum specs, but maybe it still needs to get beefed up, idk.

I still like NextCloud a lot, but it's definitely been kind of rough for me.

Skooshjones,

Brave Search for the majority of things. Ecosia and sometimes Searx.

Skooshjones,

Not me, but my brother's first word was apparently "muffin." He still loves muffins to this day, but then again, most people love muffins lol.

Skooshjones,

So far, same. I've been using social media here like it was originally designed, with real social interaction happening lol.

I agree with you, it feels great to have genuine conversions with folks without the constant feed distractions, obvious karma farming, and non-stop ads every few scrolls.

As for the Simpsons, I haven't watched enough to have an opinion yet haha. What are your top recommendations?

Skooshjones, (edited )

Totally! And lol yeah, feels fun to watch, especially the earlier episodes. I quote a lot of Simpsons lines even though I've watched far more snippets and compilations than full episodes haha.

"Sir, why did you wait until the last minute to do your taxes?"

"Because I'm an idiot!"

Skooshjones,

Even using ad block on most everything, some stuff still leaks through. It's so refreshing once that's all gone, I don't think I can go back either.

Skooshjones,

A little depressing, sounds like so far, research shows it's largely genetic luck.

Still important to live as healthy as you can, but if you wanna live into that super old age, seems like that's up to your genes mostly.

I'm trying to be more optimistic though, they mentioned that in the article :)

Skooshjones,

Sniff the air vent softly while playing an intense game. The heat creates a wonderful sweet, sort of electronic savory smell.

It's really lovely. I sniff my Steam Deck air vent probably once or twice a week on average. Some weeks much more if it's cold out.

It feels nice to lightly brush the tip of your nose across the ribs of the went while inhaling too :)

Skooshjones,

Steamy Deck ;)

Skooshjones,

The ultimate irony if it goes this way. The singularity is inherently impossible, instead of an exponential explosion of machine intelligence, there is an exponential implosion.

Skooshjones,

True, and an interesting idea. I wonder though if this will show long term that pure computational methods cannot produce sentience at the level of human beings. I still wonder where AI would be now if analog and fuzzy computing had taken off in the 1950's instead of digital/binary computing.

Skooshjones,

Battlefield 2, Modern Combat. My brother and I watched the opening sequence with our mouths hanging open. We couldn't believe how "realistic" the ragdoll physics were lol.

Skooshjones,

The same thing will happen with Reddit users that has happened for decades now in the digital world.

The ones that start to care about their freedom, privacy, ecological/sociological impact, and consumer rights will most likely move off of those closed and controlled platforms either completely, or replace them with better platforms.

The majority of folks either don't care, or aren't willing to give up the conveniences/benefits give up the toxic corpo platforms.

We need to focus on making our platforms better all the time, raising awareness for things like FOSS and consumer rights, and making sure we are as helpful and welcoming as we can be.

Fragmentation around the Fediverse.

I'm a fairly new users, but I feel that navigating around the fediverse is a bit cumbersome, maybe the wrong word for it. But there is a lack of overview in a way. I enjoy being on this server, but I also like to follow other communities. Lots of different topics, everything from cars to Linux to architecture....

Skooshjones,

I've been subscribing to a bunch of different instances and communities as they come up on my feed.

Makes things feel closer.

I get what you're saying though.

Skooshjones,

I like dogs in general, grew up with a bunch. My spouse's family always had cats though. After a few years of living with cats vs dogs, cats take the win easy for me for general ease of living.

No needing walks, liter box is easy to scoop, they spend most of the day sleeping and will come by to play or get pet for a few minutes, then move on lol.

Two things though:

  1. Some of this is culturally American. In other countries, dogs are not given the same free reign of the house as here.
  2. I'm probs gunna get a lot of flack for this... A majority of people have horribly trained dogs. In my experience, most folks consider their dog a "good" dog if it has a good mood, that's all. Doesn't matter that it doesn't listen to commands, doesn't matter that it jumps all over people slobbering and barking. Doesn't matter that it is always butting into meals and begging.

Can't tell you how many times I've had a dog jump all over me, licking my face and getting stinking drool all over my clothes only for the owner to say, "oh sorry haha, he/she just loves people!"

If your dog won't stop barking the moment you tell it to, it's a badly trained dog. If your dog jumps up on people when they enter your home, your dog is badly trained. If your dog constantly comes over to the table while people are eating and whines, badly trained.

And it pisses me off that when this behavior happens, the owners either don't care, or get angry at the dog and do something asinine like lock it in another room alone.

I like dogs! I still want one when my spouse and I have property. I don't care if your dog gets to lay on the couches and roam the house freely, that's fine, but it has to act civilized like any other member of the family. Yes it's possible BTW, any professionally trained service dogs will behave like this and more.

Skooshjones,

Libre Office user for over a decade, recently moved to OnlyOffice and liking it a lot so far. Seems to do better with MS formats than LibreOffice, snappy and responsive. UI is cleaner IMO.

Libre is still good though.

Skooshjones,

Randomly came across mine. Was gunna join a larger instance just for testing, but it was right as the big Reddit rush was happening and my signups kept failing.

So I went with this one.

Skooshjones,

The paid plans for Proton mail have Proton Drive which is pretty good so far.

Nextcloud self-hosted if you have the technical know-how is also pretty nice. You could also set up a NAS and then use a VPN to access it from your phone/remote location.

Skooshjones,

Not feeling optimistic, but trying to stay positive and do good in the world regardless.

Remember to use these hard times to focus on the things that really matter. Enjoy nature, have empathy for others, be kind and supportive, stand up for what's right.

We'll all endure, some how some way. Peace and love to y'all.

Skooshjones,

Totally!
