It feels the same when chatGPT starts giving you some random shit that has nothing to do with the code you have

100%. I try to keep working through them and only participate when my name is called.

Yup, and getting older makes it harder to catch up to that damn train of thoughts after that useless ass meeting interrupted them.

Whoever runs it must have all of that stored locally, too, no?

Gotta put some “hours” into that timesheet somehow, right?

What the actual fuck?

And others are just pure assholes

I’m so glad I work for the company I work for. They sold 90% of their buildings. We are never going back to office ever again.

Lol. Returning to office when you absolutely don’t need to is the dumbest shit I’ve ever fucking seen. I can do my job 100% from home, why would want to send me back to that shithole?

The more I looked the more I laughed 😂

This is true. As an immigrant myself, I have struggled with expressing my thoughts for the longest time. Different cultures and different ways of learning English. Trying to translate my thoughts from my own language to English often comes out either rude, or just wrong. I’ve learned to take moments before expressing my thoughts and then also explain just in case. I also throw in a disclaimer when I meet new people, especially at work. I’m getting better. It gets better with time. I feel bad for him. People on the internet are just brutal.

I hope car makers keep making those “basic trim” cars with nothing actually “smart” about them. Those are the ones I go for, and just replace the radio with my own. I don’t need anything from my car except drive and play music through wire or Bluetooth.

Cool, now let’s ban Google, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and every single social media platform that does the same exact thing as TikTok. I have never used TikTok, but this is fucking bullshit. Facebook literally ruined elections and lives around the world.

How is this even possible? Seriously, how can this be done at all?

I don’t get why we are always running after our abusers, we have so many FOSS alternatives to this shit. And please don’t hit me with that “discord has more users” bullshit. I’m so sick of these fuckers abusing their powers.

Tay capitalism.

😂 That made me lol. But yeah, my wife loves salmon (I don’t even get close to it) and man it went up big time.

Damn, prices of salmon are going to go crazy now and all the salmon lovers are going to lose it. Lol. I don’t eat it anyway, but that’s good if it’s getting endangered.

Sounds like a you issue. I promise, I’m not lying, I don’t ever need to use the terminal, unless I choose to, or in some rare instances. Pick a simple works out of the box distro

Lol. I am not. Try it out for yourself. If you run a “works out of the box” distro, you’ll not need to touch the terminal, unless you choose to. Try Linux mint, fedora, zorin OS, elementary OS, Ubuntu, pop os… Etc. On those, you literally won’t need to touch the terminal for your day to day work. Everything works.

This was back in 1765. The world has changed since then. I hardly ever touch the terminal. That’s another bullshit story some people tell you.

Of course. Also, try it in a virtual machine or on a spare laptop if you got one, before you commit to it.

You do whatever works for you.

Yup. Different distros work differently for different people.

We have actual gaming distros. They’re literally put together for gamers. GloriousEggRoll, the dude who made protonGE spun up “Nobara” off of Fedora as a gaming distro. You have Garuda Linux and others.

That’s the correct answer. I run endeavourOS, and it’s even considered a “terminal distro”. Set it up once and never had any major issues after that. I’ve used Debian testing for like 2 years before that, and oh my god, that fucker was solid af. I literally had 0 issues. Like nothing. The thing just worked all the time. Fedora was the same for me.

For work is understandable. I use nothing but windows at work because work requires it. I don’t give a shit if they used a potato, as long as I get my paycheck. At home, though, sorry my friend, I won’t ever understand no matter how many excuses you give me. If a company doesn’t want to support my os then to fucking bad, I won’t give them my money, and will move on to the ones that do.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. We do have some assholes on our forums. But from experience, I can assure you that people on Lemmy are much nicer. Also, Linux is now so very easy to install. All you need is to get your ISO and burn it onto a USB stick then boot from that USB from the Bios. Linux even has a “live environment” where you get to try it and see if your hardware works. Don’t worry too much about what “distro” to install for now. They’re all the same except minor differences and how often they get updated. Your only mission is to choose which desktop environment you like. If you like how macos looks like, choose gnome. If you like windows, choose KDE plasma, if you like a windows 7ish look, choose xfce or cinnamon. If you want the easiet way to burn an ISO to a USB, then check out Fedora media writer. It even downloads the iso for you. Just stick your USB into your pc and launch the app and go from there. It does everything for you. It’s available for all OSs. Fedora comes with both KDE and gnome and others. I’d stick with the distros that are the easiest to install and where everything works out of the box. Fedora and Linux mint are the ones I’d choose from. And also, now YouTube is full of amazing Linux channels like this man Jay Lacroix. He is freaking awesome and has so many videos that will help you. Here is his channel. He even made a video the other day on how to dual boot with windows. If you have any questions at all, please post them in the Linux community here on Lemmy and we will all help you.

How dare you speak some sense.

This is like staying in an abusive relationship and then complaining about how abusive their partner is. Get the fuck out of there. Linux works like a charm. OK, now come at me with your bullshit excuses of “Linux bad” “mah games”, “my Adobe” blah blah blah. Staying in this abusive relationship is what makes microshit what it is.

Can we DROP the joke about DBs already?

Oh I’m well aware of that, I’m just complaining 😂

It’s annoying as fuck when I message my wife a video of our kids, it looks like dog shit on her iPhone. I have to instead send it on Whatsapp or signal. I hate apple

It’s very popular here in 'merica, the land of the zombies.

I’ve read somewhere that iMessage wasn’t considered “big enough” to be considerate a monopoly. Which is bullshit if you ask me.

Stay curious… Forever. Lol

That’s why I never invite people to visit my GitHub page 😂

That shit is disgusting. I have read somewhere (not 100% sure) that Starbucks failed miserably in Australia because of how shitty their coffee tasted for the Aussies.

I’m from a country where we literally, grew, harvested, roasted and brewed our coffee. lol We had a tradition where the coffee HAD to be roasted and brewed on bone fire that is made out of certain shrubs stems. I know, it is crazy, but that is how it was there. Oh, and did I mention that we had to grind the coffee by hand? So, I have completely different standards/expectations when it comes to coffee, and that’s also why I drink it black. That is how we drank it. I now grind and brew my own coffee at home, and those starshit encounters happened only because I was traveling, otherwise, my coffee is all made at home.

So, I’m a black coffee drinker. No sweetners, no creams, none of that garbage. Went one time to get me a cup of coffee from Starbucks. It tasted like shit. It was burnt. I thought it was just that one place, but nope, it’s every Starbucks place. Their coffee recipe is shit in and of itself, but they hide it under the ton of sugar and other shit they put in it. I never understood why people would kill for it. Also, why does a small cup of black coffee cost $2+?
