  • Not an SO story.

    Not to you know brag or anything here guys but I did have 3 people fighting over me once.

    2 of them actively ended up sleeping together to try and get me to pick one of them.

    I chalk it up to, “pfft it’s because he uses Linux.”

    Kidding of course. In all honesty, I had gone through a very confusing breakup. At the time I was sleeping with three people. All of them knew about one another and they all knew I wasn’t looking for anything serious because of the previous breakup. I was also trying to finish school.

    All three people were really sweet and I still talk to two of the 3 and they are good people. We were all 4 going through a confusing time in our life. The one I don’t speak to now is married. I wish all of them well.

    Also, before you ask. (You won’t but I feel the need to clarify) I am genuinely meh on the attractive scale or so I am told. So I don’t know which black magic was at work but it was a fun and stressful time.

    I am reading half of these stories and just appreciating how all three of the people knew about each other and all ended up being chill with one another and me. You all are dealing with some crazy shit.











  • “Why do you guys simply believe things should get better?”

    That is how I read this. More power, more efficiency, better tech is not a bad thing to want.

    Just because you want to hold on to a 5 year old phone doesn’t mean someone else doesn’t at least want to see efficiency in our pockets get better for the value we spend on them.

    Imagine if someone said, I have dial up internet. Why are you guys constantly wanting faster Internet speeds.

    It’s okay to want things to get better. You should not have the mentality of, “it’s just good enough.”


  • I second this. Lemmy is fully of “techy people” that think the only way to be “techy” is the way they define it without realizing if you aren’t universally adept or open then you are curating your content to a point you are part of the “sheep” you claim not to be a part of.

    If you like anything you pay for then you are wrong. If you still use Windows you are wrong. You need to abandon everything Google and Apple but still buy a Google product and run a degooglefied version of the product. So give the company you hate your money but not your data. Makes perfect sense.

    It’s either Linux or the highway but not everyone wants to use a terminal to use Mullvad or Tor every time you want to access the web to shop for a pair of shoes. Despite the fact you can write a script that still requires you to use a terminal to run Tor or what ever.

    Not everyone wants Torrent speeds to pirate that piece of Microsoft software or movie. Some of us want to be, “normies” and just buy and use things that work without all the work that is unnecessary in our every day lives. We want to go to work, make money, spend time around people and things we love.

    Yes, we get it we are the reason corporations and capitalism exist but I don’t see your FOSS downloads and open source software slowing that way down. We don’t need online tech heros who can prove you can free yourself. We need activists and people like that running got local politics and leadership helping actually put a stop to being taken advantage of.

    Posting something about Unity enraging game companies is something anyone can do. But shoving a community off that you should be respectfully educating rather than shunning just because someone didn’t want to pirate a movie and instead watch it on a Windows machine through Linux isn’t or doesn’t change anything.

    I am no longer on Reddit but Lemmy is fully of tech people who also often have 0 fucking clue what they are talking about. Which is quite ironic.


  • You rolled a 6. This is a failed roll.

    You feel slightly uneasy as if power is being drawn to you. You begin to become more attractive. Suddenly, incels are messaging you. Trying to convince you that they are better than other men. This situation is getting out of hand. You wonder why they are all neckbeards. Where is all this “chivalry” coming from. Why are there so many fedoras in the profile pictures. The overwhelming thought of all things wrong with these men begin to weigh on you… What if… No you couldn’t do that… What if you just blocked them? Would that be possible? According to Elon Musk you shouldn’t be able to but then again he also seems like an incel.

    1. You block them.
    2. You wish to learn more about DnD and dice rolls.
    3. Wait a minute, who are you? The voice narrating your thoughts?
    4. Oh shit, I left the oven on!
