TheCopiedCovenant,

Whenever I hear this man’s name, I must remind everyone of the time in Borat 2 where he began to touch himself after having drinks with (who he believed to be) a young news reporter (happens around 3:30) Gross old crone …

TheCopiedCovenant, (edited )

I’m gonna be honest, I have a small level of respect for Zuck. As long as I ignore the fact that Facebook has pioneered destroying online privacy that is …

Despite being one of the richest men on the planet, and running one of the largest tech companies on the planet, he has actually been a good father/husband from what I understand. Also, he knows when to shut the fuck up and let his PR people tell him what to say.

Musk is insufferable. Arrogant, know-it-all, blabbering asshole. Reading through his Twitter is cringe, just in the last week he’s retweeted like 5+ COVID conspiracy or “anti-woke” things.

TheCopiedCovenant,

Just spent two hours researching it. Shit, now I’m gonna notice it EVERYWHERE …

TheCopiedCovenant,

If this is a prejudice your truly hold, have fun trying to develop any kind of deep relationship, romantic or otherwise, with a man ever in your life …

TheCopiedCovenant,

It’s honestly so ridiculously rare to see good political news here. Our legislature is owned by Mormons, farmers, and Mormon farmers. The Mormon Church has their hands in EVERYTHING.

“We don’t get involved in politics” my ass. Remember when they used tithing money to campaign against Prop 8? Remember when they sent an email to every member in their records to vote against Prop 2? (Medical Marijuana) Remember when their closed door meetings with legislature gutted the Medical MJ program that WE FUCKING VOTED ON. Many, many, many more examples.

Oh, cherry on top, Salt Lake County is gerrymandered as fuck lol.

TheCopiedCovenant,

What??? The racist, sexist, violent, polygamist church run by rich white men didn’t want to ratify the civil rights amendments???

Fyi, black people were restricted from having the priesthood (essentially the power allowing you to perform every saving ordinance) until 1978. It is Mormon doctrine that they are essentially cursed.

It's not just Adobe. Now Logitech wants me to go to a random website in order to add peripherals to my computer, and I'm met with this when I go to the page they tell me to (lemmy.world)

As if it wasn’t bad enough that they want me to use a random internet service to add a keyboard to a usb wifi receiver, they have the balls to put this for Firefox users. I clicked out of pure curiosity, as I’m not even remotely interested in involving a corporate internet service in getting my keyboard connected to my...

TheCopiedCovenant,

Just do it. You can use the Fedora or Mint installer to make a dual boot and keep your windows install.

TheCopiedCovenant,

I would rather make 50k WFH than 100k in an office.

TheCopiedCovenant,

Hahaha, yeah definitely a no for the family man. But as a single man 50k is fine, and the flexibility is worth more than a 100% raise.

What non-FOSS software are you using that you wish you could replace?

For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code....

TheCopiedCovenant,

My favorite videos of his are his farm, cooking, and nature videos. Just a man walking through the park or feeding chickens with RuneScape music behind it. Weirdly calming.

What is a good hobby for a depressed person?

So i still have depression and im constantly bored, i feel like a loser who cant do anything right. I want to let my creativeness out, make something i can share with the world or family, but im probably dreaming too big. I cant stand being depressed and bored, it stinks, everyone tells me to work out but i lack the motivation...

TheCopiedCovenant,

I used to hike. Been feeling down lately. This is a great reminder, thank you

TheCopiedCovenant,

Keyboard is good. I personally would recommend bass guitar if you like rock music. If you can save up $200-300 and buy a used Squire Precision or Squire Jazz bass, it will literally last you years as long as you change the strings regularly and learn how to do an at-home setup.

You can pick up the basics and start jamming with people really fast, but the skill ceiling is deceptively high. Bassists are the hardest to find in any band.

The instrument is fun as hell too.

Infinity is the best alternative to Sync right now.

I’ve never heard of Infinity before, but after being let down by Sync asking so much for removal of ads (20$ or more) I think I found my Lemmy app finally. Sync is an amazing app, but the dev’s greed made me look at it in a very different way, just like with Reddit, where now if I can I want to avoid using it....

TheCopiedCovenant, (edited )

Yes!! The Sync dick sucking is crazy. I’ve been using this fork of Infinity to continue using Reddit, and toying around with Infinity For Lemmy.

Infinity is literally just as polished and smooth as Sync. Plus, totally free and open source. No tracking, no ads.

Edit: Hey butthurt Sync soyboys, stop downvoting everything in this thread. Go circlejerk each other on your own sublemmy and pay the dev $100

TheCopiedCovenant,

Same here! This is the beauty of open source software!!! Nothing is required from the original dev for the community to take the software and repurpose it for something else.

TheCopiedCovenant,

Can’t believe Alex Honnold saw this and said “yeah I wanna climb this without a rope”. Oh, and apparently it wasn’t enough, so he had to do El Capitan too.

Side note, Yosemite is gorgeous

Pittsburgh synagogue shooter sentenced to death for killing 11 worshippers in 2018 massacre (www.cnn.com)

Robert Bowers, the gunman who killed 11 worshippers and wounded six others at a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018 in the deadliest-ever attack on Jewish people in the United States, was unanimously sentenced to death by a federal jury on Wednesday.

TheCopiedCovenant,

I think it’s really flawed logic to say that the death penalty condones or encourges murder. I also think it’s designed to be the ultimate justice, not a deterrent. Here’s my opinion on the matter:

Are there monsters who deserve death? Absolutely!

Is killing citizens a power we should give to the state? Never.

TheCopiedCovenant, (edited )

For fucking real. $100 is laughably dumb and you all know it. All you Sync dick suckers in this thread have lost your minds.

DOWNLOAD FUCKING THUNDER OR LIFTOFF OR JERBOA HOLY HELL. DONATE TO YOUR LOCAL INSTANCE BEFORE SUPPORTING THIS CANCER CLOSED SOURCE FRONTEND.

Edit: Oh my, if you’re going to downvote me, please provide an argument. This pricing is so detached from reality and you guys know it. This app is sapping your data (read the privacy policy), remaining closed source, and profiting off a community built entirely off the back of volunteers and sharing. Keep seething, but this app does not deserve this amount of money. Period.

TheCopiedCovenant,

Thunder. Literally the same thing. Open-source, no ads, doesn’t track your fucking data for targeted ads.

Paying $100 for this is so absurd.

TheCopiedCovenant,

Shout-out to Thunder and Liftoff. I prefer the former, but Liftoff is great as well.
