I was excited when I bought an Amiga 500, and ever since then the main thing I noticed is that the EXCITEMENT of getting a computer was always over-ruled by my ability to exploit it’s powers and use it.

So my perspective is that all computers and operating systems SUCK. But some suck less than others…

So using Manjaro KDE, it sucks less because it’s very simple and easy for me to install whatever I like - having AUR available, being able to search with pamac to include repos, AUR and Flatpak (even snap if I was that desperate).

KDE also gives you super powers to fuck up modify your desktop experience and shortcuts.

It’s been good to me for 6 years now. After going Ubuntu>Mint I was excited to leave Debian and try something else, I never made it to the Redhat camp (always interested to try Fedora) and hopefully will never feel the need.

So yes, what I like MOST is - it mostly just works. And when it fails, the forum is awesome.

That’s very negative, however I must concur that it’s a fact the correlative conjunctions were incorrectly placed to negate the possibilities.

Whether that fact is true or not is up to you.

up/down voting is simply a way to help comments you think are good, or agree with, become more/less dominant in the thread.

In some cases, comments are useful to explain why - but often that’s just not the case.

Hard to find something depressing with no experience.

What is depressing is that tens of millions JUMP on the platform, knowing already that Meta is evil and not caring.

The human race is digging it’s own grave, and the handful that know better will just get pulled down.

It doesn’t say much…

• It reminds us that Reddit never gave a toss.

• It reminds you that, through the Reddit lens, your value is about zero.

Fireworks are brilliant. I think you live somewhere with cultural issues… people reserve the right to party and annoy everyone else…

They have their time and place - and 2am sounds more like problms with arseholes, not Fireworks.

They should be banned after 9pm (except for New Year - extend until 00:20 for that).

I’ve been witness to some amazing displays that bring tears to my eyes they were so awesome. The most memorable being ones that I’m close enough to feel the pressure wave, a truly trouser flapping experience.

I think ‘soul’ is not something which exists in itself - it is the idea of the essence of a thing, the thing which causes an individual life.

So theories go around that there are spiritual beings separate from the physical (debatable) and I personally think that it extends to all life, such that trees can have awareness which can also extend beyond their physical bodies.

As such, they obviously exist - but their exact definition and nature is quite hard to grasp. I don’t think they can survive physical death.

It’s a shit-show.

The most effective ‘area denial’ weapons should be denied to the defenders?

Swastika/fasist tattoos and memorabilia are often simply anti-authority expression and not really fascist ideology (as witnessed recently with ex-cons, UKR and Russian soldiers being caught out and branded as being ‘Nazi’ or ‘fascist’).

‘true fact’.

• Facts cannot be anything except for true.
• Anyone who uses the two words ‘true fact’ together cannot be trusted because they know neither the meaning of the word ‘true’ or the word ‘fact’.

I haven’t bean paying attention.

Over obsessing with puns is a recognised psychological issue…

At school, I remember the time I was jealous of our ‘class clown’ who was genuinely pretty hilarious every time he opened his mouth and extremely popular (especially with the girls). The worst thing to do is to try to emulate that (go home, study a ton of jokes… I’m sure everyone did that at some stage).

I think one of the lessons I worked hard to teach my son is that you shouldn’t make an effort to be funny, because that’s mostly just four-king annoying. Since then, his jokes come less frequently - but with higher hit-rates.

But for sure, Reddit seems to have an average mentality of 6 to 12.

The worst trap to get into is to try to make jokes about unemployed people - because they never work.

Haha I cannot say for sure. I certainly started to duplicate my credentials… so now I’m more likely to be logged in as BendyLemmy.

So initially it was Lemmy.ml (which wasn’t working too well) and it got annoying that I wasn’t logged in when opening links - so BeeHaw, Lemmy.world, https://fosstodon.org/ is BendyToy,…

One thing I’m finding useful now in Bitwarden is that I can autofill and copy (so just refresh for a new password) to get the same username for each one… but it’s kind of getting out of hand.

It’s a little frustrated that we can’t use a kind of centralised profile - like the way an ‘opendesktop’ account can be used to log in to various instances of websites. If I log in the Opendesktop website, and then go to Mastodon, I find my Opendesktop account gets logged in there - so there’s more fragmentation.

Overal it is just very confusing.

Some of the jokes were nice - with the best laughs coming from the replies and the bad puns.
