It sucks that this is where we are. America once the defeaters of Nazi’s. Now appointing billionare Nazi’s with influence to government positions. Fuck man.

I think you answered your own question.

Linux definitely requires the time/energy to keep things playing smoothly,

Windows, overall just has less time/energy to keep things playing smoothly. Running a good debloat helps some. Honestly, what through me over the edge was with poe2, on linux it just stuttered and lagged. I even went from POP_OS to Fedora, same issues. Came over to windows and it runs nice and smooth. Its just I’ve went through situations like that enough to say thats enough… I can’t keep doing this.

Yep, its just a numbers game. We don’t have enough for all the niche communities but we have a lot of major ones already here which is nice and I like the more tech centric feeling lemmy has too.

I dont even recognize it anymore. I was on reddit for over a decade before the api fiasco. I am there for a few subs that just dont exist here and I cannot stand reddit. The only way I can even stand it for my few subs is with a Revanced Patched app that removes the ads.

Thanks for that, that does help put things in perspective. However, I am not pleased to see proton taking political stances at all. Money corrupts and it seems they are following whats best in their interests that doesn’t always reflect the users (ours) so. This is a space I’m gonna have to follow. The minute they start doing any sort of data sharing, data “personalization”, ad integration, etc. That’s when I’ll be moving.

Very disappointing though. I just want google like services but without the spying on me by me paying.

I have used linux for about two years for gaming and it works for well most games but there is always a game that doesn’t work right too, not to dissuade you from giving it a try. Just want to tell you my experience. I’d say 95% of games I’ve tried work in a basic sense. But sometimes a certain game just runs like crap or I have to fiddle getting a game to work with using lutris . Some games just can’t work because of anti-cheat services. Etc… I’ve tried various OS and really enjoy POP_OS as well as good ole fedora. So, dual boot is recommended if you can do it. Ultimately, I’ve sadly moved back to windows just because I got tired of always having to troubleshoot stuff to the point of not wanting my computer to be a hobby. I love linux and want it to be my only OS but for me its just not quite there for no fuss gaming setup. I’m a parent and dont want my fleeting moments of free time to be troubleshooting while something isn’t working.

God damn it, I just got fully in to proton, took me a year or so to slowly switch everything over, the new proton services like the drive, docs and wallet are pretty sweet. ugh. Gonna have to watch proton closely.

I just can’t use uber eats. It just feels weird. Like, I am fully capable of getting food myself, I know uber eats, doordash etc, pays shit, delivery folks have to wait at the restaurant if its not ready and then fix it if its not. Get my drink from the fountain if I ordered one. And then, drive all the way to my place. I then receive a cold, tossed meal. It’s just depressing all around. I don’t get it.

I’ll pay for delivery of pizza or even something like jimmy johns who have delivery drivers, but having a third party involved just feels wrong.

You know the ole adage, when yo-ho is easier, yo-ho it be.

Yeah, it works for me. That was after trial and error. I used to take it daily when I had really bad sleep issues. Now it’s only if I want 100% sure thing to be dead asleep. Probably why I get groggy from it the next day.

Working out helps a bunch.

Medication:

Diphenhydramine 50mg.

Then diphenhydramine + Melatonin (20mg) (if I want to be dead asleep but will be groggy in the morning. Only used as last resort).

Same… So tiring. Fighting to not be someone else’s product just by existing

Smart enough to realize everything is shit is a real debilitating condition and honestly, one doesn’t haven’t to be very smart to realize that.

SAME, I keep thinking this has to be our generations cigarettes and I hate that I’m a part of it. I’ve switched recently to caffeine pills and b-complex vitamins to save money. It’s not quite the same as a 300 mg bang or c4 but its pretty close for pennies compared to dollars.

C4’s are nice and my usual but it’s lame only a few of the flavors have 300mg caffeine and I don’t terribly like any of them. The artic snowcone or the “ruthless raspberry” are passable. Their Popsicle flavors are absolutely fantastic though but only 200.

There he goes talking about himself again.
