It took me some time to finally leave reddit too. I deleted my account, but had this weird feeling of missing something, so I eventually created another. The thing is like a drug, and I believe all the big social media works the same.

When I went back there after stopping for some time, I could realize how terrible some communities can be, how it was making me feel more depressed and angry, and how I was wasting time from my life in there.

Then I deleted it for good, and filled that void with other things, both online and offline. Now I feel much better. One could argue that lemmy is just another social media, but it’s different. it’s not designed to keep us glued to the screen and have drug effects.

Time to watch repair videos in advance!

Then maybe just upload them all in a compressed file to archive.org and just post the link?

Don’t let them die. Make a lemmy community for demotivational memes and post them! I, for one, would be curious to browse them and probably spend more time than previously expected while doing that.

Thanks for your kind message. Fear of embarrassment is really something that holds us back

I don’t use self checkout because I’m afraid of messing up something and getting judged by people :(

I guess the main difference in all those activities is when doing something for yourself, as a hobby or relaxing activity, or when doing something as an obligation, or even worse, doing something for others. Even something like drawing can become terrible if you have to stress yourself, follow someone’s orders instead of your own style, and have to do it fast to meet some deadline.

I just get late, don’t care anymore

Well… with streaming services people don’t actually have anything, because nothing in there is theirs to own ;)

Hope you’re enjoying the freedom, fellow FOSSer :)

Don’t threaten, just do it!

I don’t get why people are so stubborn to move away from corporate products.

That’s true. Your first comment was a bit confusing, sorry.

Wait, what security breach implications?

Me, who uses low end hardware and can’t spend several gigabytes for simple web apps that I can run locally for 10% of the hardware resources of the web equivalent.

You can check the graph for all OSes from all devices combined in statcounter, and linux is also showing a growth, so it’s a real increase in usage.

Is your 2 in 1 one of those baytrail cpus with some atom z sonething? If so, they’re really problematic with linux, since they were released, due to some obscure stuff in their soc. I remember even people who formatted and reinstalled windows losing functionality.

Teaching people without computing skills to use linux is actually easier than teaching windows. Most trouble people have with linux comes from being used to windows and having difficulty to adapt.

Problem is that the dataset in a llm doesn’t only contain “data”, but also a lot of opinions and shitposts from the internet, so it’s biased by default.
