So true. I had an EAP case and the therapist just wanted to stall at first to get his paid 5 sessions, and in the end to push to conclusion because he had his 5 sessions. It was terrible. Extremely commercial.
I don’t think Biden is bad. But he’s not popular. I really think the democrats should have thought of this because now there’s a chance for Trump 2 which would in my opinion be terrible for the whole world (note I’m not American)
And for the love of God (or the Flying Spaghetti Monster which would be more suitable in my case) pick someone a bit younger for a change. If only because they’ll actually have to live with the climate mess they’re creating.
How could it be lower milk content? Cheese is 99.9% milk by definition, especially actual cheese (not sure what’s in this Kraft stuff). The only additive is supposed to be the starter culture.
Yeah it’s one of the thing I liked about Reddit. This everything goes mentality.
I think the problem is that many lemmy servers are based in Germany and despite their open reputation they do have some sub-communities that are very regimental and strict due to their calvinist heritage. We have the same stuff in Holland unfortunately. Some people are super open, but other communities are extremely strict and religious.
The way they deal with it is different though. Germans try to pave over these differences by blocking anything anyone could find offensive. I think this is what promts these blocks. In Holland we just don’t care and are more belligerent against the more conservative groups. Which I like.
I was on this really great cyberpunk / LGBT instance called DATATERM.digital. It was even advertised on the joinlemmy page. However it disappeared without a trace and there is no word on it ever coming back :( I haven’t found another one where I felt at home.
It’ll probably be free to play without single player but in order to play it you need to keep buying shark cards. Basically what they’ve done with GTA V after release.
Yes high max brightness is important. But low min brightness is too. The problem is that reviewers and spec sheets emphasize the former and not the latter. So manufacturers often disregard the latter as improving it doesn’t translate to better sales. Some even use terrible PWM.
Ooh Mormons do that? I didn’t know, I thought religious people were always so monogamous.
But I think Mormons only allow for a man to have multiple wives and not a women to have multiple husbands. I’m all for polyamory but it must be both ways.
Sorry, I didn’t mean Russians are expendable of course! (Hence the sad smiley). In fact I was lamenting the way the Soviet and Tsarist governments treated their population. Sorry if this wasn’t clear.
And I’m sure 90% of Russian soldiers are not happy to fight this war either. I’m sure they’d prefer being home with wife & kids rather than dodging bullets.
Yeah same here. Never diagnosed but I sure have a lot of traits of it.
And yes that is exactly what cats do with newcomers. Even between themselves. They only stare once they trust each other (and even then they will often squint as a sign of friendliness).
I think it’s because cats are predators as well as prey. They know big open eyes side by side are used to gauge distance for an attack (unlike the eyes on each side of the head like most prey animals have). So eyes are a weapon to them. This is why closing eyes is disarming.
Wayland, GNOME, systemd and snaps seem to be the unholy quadfecta of obsessive hate in Linux land these days. People seem to practically set their own personal identity against their feelings on these technology stacks. If you don’t like them, just don’t use them…
I agree, but the problem and the reason for my resentment is that some of these are forced on us. Gnome even introduced some dependencies on systemd. Poettering was even quoted as saying that was a good thing because it forced people to adopt systemd quicker. Of course he is a pretty blunt person which doesn’t help liking the stuff he makes. But the backing of IBM/RedHat allows him to get his stuff adopted. For me he is definitely one of the reasons I don’t want systemd.
Snapd can’t be ignored in modern Ubuntu because even an apt-get forces a snap install for some packages. This is the problem for me. I have to keep finding ever more obscure distros to avoid the things I don’t like (and in the end I moved to FreeBSD). Even Arch the most configurable distro of all (you can choose pretty much everything from network stack, partition format, etc) forces you to use systemd now.
This is what powers my anger towards them. And Mac I hate because I feel a bit betrayed by Apple, first making a powerful Unix-like OS with decent GUI which I liked, and them making it more and more mainstream and locked-down like their iOS toys, removing power features and locking many features into their walled iCloud garden. Also reducing options to upgrade Macs, introducing terrible keyboards etc. I used them for years but in the end was forced to leave the platform. It’s a bit like an ex-smoker hating smokers I guess because it reminds them of the misery they dealt with :)
About Wayland: We are constantly bombarded with propaganda that X11 is deprecated and end of life. Even by its maintainers (RedHat as wayland maintainer chose to take over X11 maintenance so they could let it die more easily). This is what I hate. I’m perfectly happy if I can keep using X11. But this is constantly cast into doubt by all this skullduggery. Luckily FreeBSD is much less prone to chasing the new feature on the block than Linux is though.
Where my hate comes from is being forced to adopt something I don’t want to (or people trying to do so). If they would have just made things optional, I would have had zero problems with it. This is why I don’t hate GNOME, I don’t like it at all but it’s fine because whatever distro I choose I can always choose not to use it. I don’t really hate Windows either, in fact I even use it for gaming. But what does make me hate something is having something good and then being forced to see it change into something worse. It’s reactive to this behaviour.
