Mint is considered the best replacement for Windows because Cinnamon more closely resembles Windows. Personally I can’t stand GNOME, but I’ve heard it more closely resembles macOS

I’m confused. Are you blocking users that harass you, or communities where they’re talking amongst themselves? Because like. Ofc they’re going to talk about veganism in a community centered around veganism, and they’re gonna react poorly when you barge in complaining about them. That’s like saying chess players are particularly annoying because they don’t like hearing how much chess sucks on /r/chess
It’s the vegan choice for linux, in that actual users of it aren’t actually that annoying, but everyone else plays up the stereotype so much that y’all think they actually are
I don’t use Arch btw and also I’m not vegan

I literally can’t imagine a box that makes things cold being made cooler by having a screen on it
It’s a fucking box that makes things cold. Humanity is cooked if we can’t bring ourselves to look away from a screen for all the time it takes to get a slice of cheese out of the fridge

51·3 months agoThe other day I saw someone ask ChatGPT how long it would take to perform 1.5 million instances of a given task, if each instance took one minute. Mfs cannot even divide 1.5 million minutes by 60 to get get 25,000 hours, then by 24 to get 1,041 days. Pretty soon these people will be incapable of writing a full sentence without ChatGPT’s input
Edit to add: divide by 365.25 to get 2.85 years. Anyone who can tell me how many months that is without asking an LLM gets a free cookie emoji

Technology@lemmy.world•‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharingEnglish
6·5 months agoMy best friend drove me to work the other day. We missed a turn and had to take a detour. Not two blocks after that missed turn, his girlfriend calls him asking where he’s going lmao
I would be willing to share locations because I worry about people and don’t want them to worry about me, but I’ll toss this phone in a Blendtec blender before I install an application that gives some creep in fuckin Dayton Ohio my and my girlfriend’s GPS coordinates 24/7. Tasker does the job well enough anyhow
Because it’s worth plugging up some privacy holes even if you can’t get all of them. Google already knows my name, address, and phone number, but that’s no reason to let 5th Edition Character Sheet learn it too. They already have gigabytes of personally identifiable data on me, doesn’t mean I’m cool with them bumping that up to terabytes
