That’s funny because I bet Firefox will keep running my MS applications just like it does now. That’s what I do on Linux anyway.

But if I’m not forced to use those tools, Libre Office it is!

Mint has been on kernel 6.8 for months now, and that kernel version was first released less than a year ago. They made a change a little while back to be more up to date.

So it’s not bleeding edge, but it’s also not far behind now.

Oh yeah no disagreement there. The way that social media of all types democratizes content creation and celebrity status is great.

For me personally, the YouTube model is great where individuals can basically produce their own TV show or documentaries. But all the other big corporate social media services are meh in comparison. When it comes to interaction rather than consuming, that’s when I love Lemmy.

I’m not sure what’s worse, kissing the ring or taking that Trump post seriously. He obviously did not write it, and he also obviously only makes statements like this to threaten others and secure their loyalty. Here we are a month later, and some of the richest tech bros in the country are expected at his inauguration.

That is sounding more and more like a benefit to me. Social media that functions as social media for humans and not just another giant corporate surveillance and marketing machine wearing a fun app costume.

people who repeatedly ruin companies

You mean those bold leaders who have the rare ability to take risks* and make the tough decisions**?

• Risking their “number go up” fun money, not their actual lifestyle, or health, or home, or food supply, etc. Or just risking other people’s assets much of the time.

** The decisions that will hurt people they don’t care about and won’t have to deal with, in order to hopefully make their “number go up” score improve.

Absolutely. Likewise, prescribed medications for mental heath vary by individual and they are essentially trial and error with some educated guessing by your doctor.

This seems like a massive and ultimately incorrect generalization.

Weed doesn’t have to reliably turn the worst murderers in society into community serving pacifists every single time in order to be effective and worthwhile. That’s just perfect being the enemy of good.

Like another reply said, drugs can change perspective which is how people change themselves. It certainly worked for me with both weed and ketamine (both legally sourced with medical providers involved, and only several times total with the ketamine).

Well thank goodness they have that ß character to help keep their street names so efficient.

Yeah, when my Lemmy server goes down I don’t want it to be because of a large scale cyber attack, I want it to be because some dude’s dog got the zoomies in the basement and tripped on a cable.

In my experience it’s usually the magats who are the ones defending asshole and/or immoral behavior by pointing out that the offender is acting within the bounds of the law or within their legal rights.

Given my recent experiences with Microsoft stuff at work, I assume their strategy is to get Copilot to be the de facto standard and the only “IT Approved” option in all the M365-using workplaces.
