So more like “wealthcare” than healthcare.
Welcome back, I’ve been here the whole time and currently it seems a bit more toxic and hostile than when RIF shut down, I feel there are a couple more contrarians now than before but it hasn’t been a steady decline. There has always been the odd jerk and troll on this site. I would say the time Lemmy was most wholesome when !cat@lemmy.world flooded the front page with black cats, it was such a cute problem for us to have. Anyone else remember that?
Like others I’d say it’s cyclical month to month. This year there’s daily doom in the news with US politics. If you want to avoid that then block !news@lemmy.world, !politics@lemmy.world, !usa@midwest.social, and other news and politics if it fills up with Trump posts. 2024 was a lot more hopeful and I think that reflected in the average user’s demeanor even if there was bothsidesism, Gaza stuff, Ukraine stuff and Trumpism stuff. You’ll be informed of important developments as Trump stuff leaks out on occasion but you don’t need to be constantly engaged. Also if you do curate your All/Local feed then maybe some new communities sprung up that need pruning to fit your desired vibe.
Also: If you see a crapton of comments on a post with low votes then you know best to turn and run from the thread where most of the comments are.
Maybe as a Christmas gift to myself. My current one is an EIE pro that came with my guitar second hand. The linux “driver” only sort of works.
And it’s not likely to be the last.
If you want to delay your switch to Linux, there are scripts to enroll in the ESU, but unfortunately the local account script stopped working on the one I used. Have not tested massgravel’s. Other options are to get Win 10 LTSC, or keep your system disconnected from the Internet.
An aside: My main desktop is Linux but I am currently trying Winboat to get the last piece of my hardware dependence off (my 20 year old DAC and rocksmith 2014) to work. Then, I can finally nuke Windows off of my secondary laptop because I’m sure as hell not giving it Win 11.
The penalty of doing it wrong needs to be higher than the cost of doing jt right.
I don’t get it? Why can’t car companies just release software updates that get deployed with the regular service interval, like once every year or two? That way the repair service or dealership will be close by if problems arise.
On the topic of ‘hills to die on’, I will say I have gained a significant respect for you over the last 2 years, for sticking to your principles on this and following through on them.
We might disagree on the best way to do things. I’d witnesed you in the past receiving a lot of pushback (to put it lightly) for a well-intentioned but controversially implemented project (the whole Reddit mirroring and account claiming thing you tried). If I had been in your shoes at the time, I would probably have quit Lemmy and the Fediverse entirely for something else in order to try to pursue that vision. Yet, you’ve stayed with it, with the aim to refine your ideas on how to better bring decentralized social media to the general public. So kudos to you for your resoluteness on this.
Japanese has no uppercase/lowercase. Italics (oblique type) is generally unused as a standard. Bolding can be used but uncommon in most writing. Underlining is commonly used for emphasis. Quotation marks are sometimes used to emphasize in the way “air quotes” would be. It’s rather antiquated but dots or Japanese commas above or beside (in vertical writing) can be used where italics might be used in English.
Sans-serif and serif have their equivalents in CJK langauges - in Japanese they are called Gothic and Mincho type respectively. With Gothic every line maintains the same width. Mincho uses the traditional standard where line widths vary according to each stroke, the rules are derived from how it was written by brush. Calligraphic writing takes this to an extreme and is more of an art-form on special paper, depending on your intent you can follow the traditional rules or be a bit more creative.
I’ve tried a few substances but none that were too far out.
My roommates peer pressured me into taking way too much weed one night after dabbling in it lightly a handful of times before. I then quickly found myself lying in bed. Somehow, abstract art made sense to me there in the ensuing moment of contemplation. I was seeing it form in my head, splotches, lines and colours and space, it all clicked together. I felt changed the next day. Of course it wore off after, but that experience gave me a new appreciation for the depth of art that seems simple and meaningless on the surface. Like I had an idea of where it came from.
Hooray for cancer, asthma and bronchitis! Make America Healthy Again. Lung health is like Karate – black is the best!
We need a baguette stream to see if it lasts longer than Lecornu’s second tenure.
I do feel bad for the few users that have found some niche lemmy communities and asked a genuine question, only to get no replies. If it were in my sphere of knowledge I would answer them.
They raised money to dig a hole to then fill it in again, for similar reasons.
I mean it’s interesting that it has surpassed Kilmister as the top result in some regions/contexts and is definitely more numerous.
Slowly, over the course of 3 months.
I stopped posting, then stopped commenting, then logged in every other day, then deleted Redreader and stopped going regularly.
I joined Lemmy in March 2023 on my six-year Reddit cakeday, API-calypse happened in June, swore never to write a word on Reddit again in July and I’ve since kept that vow. Now that I’m fully weaned off, maybe next year I’ll break it specifically to invite people to Lemmy !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I will say your original comment does imply that Amazon was the same the level of rubbish the whole time, and it was merely the perception of it improving because of it becoming a fad. With all due respect to you, I think that is the point that is getting pushback from others. (Not to mention the ad hominem about sociopaths)
One could imagine that conveniently, Microsoft’s online support pages and the amount of support staff were designed to only handle hundreds of thousands of cancelations at a time.
I heard this perfectly in my head to the theme tune.
