comfy actually summs up a lot of my critcisms of the instance perfectly. In a word, it really is like everything I hated about reddit.

Block early and block often. Probably the best decision I ever made was blocking lemmy.world from my feed.

Will my ability to play games be significantly affected compared to Windows?

So far, my experience on this depends on your graphics card. If you’re using AMD, you shouldn’t be too significantly impacted. If you’re using Nvidia, god help you. In my experience trying to get games running on Linux with an older Nvidia card, you’ll have a lot more fun bashing your head into a wall until the wall breaks.

No, you’re a human. All of us have generally done shitty things, especially when we were teenagers and were exceptionally shitty versions of ourselves. You’re not “marked by sin” or whatever religious nonsense some people like to say, none of what you did then has to define your present or your future. If anything, feeling bad about the things you did in the past shows that you have grown up, learned some empathy, and become a better person.

If it was just one extra manual step, it’d be fine. In my experience working with Nvidia drivers on Mint and later Ubuntu, it’s more like 15 extra steps and some things still don’t work. Sure, it’s better than dealing with Windows 11, but from my experience it has not felt like less hassle than getting games running on Windows 10. Maybe that’s just an Nvidia issue, and I certainly would love to upgrade to an AMD system for better Vulkan support, but that’s not happening anytime soon.

III. Little Jimmy doesn’t really need to, because the amount of times that windows update completely bricks your drivers is pretty low. You’re clearly overestimating the driver issues that people experience with Nvidia or otherwise on Windows. Neither myself nor any of the people I know have ever experienced any significant driver-based issues while playing on Windows, and the truth is that the vast majority of Windows users do not even need to know what a graphics driver is to be able to easily play games on Windows.

Yeah it’s great that AMD support seems to be great and I agree that Nvidia sucks as a company, but I’m not the one claiming Linux is the greatest gaming system.

Biggest one is going to remain gaming. If anything, I’m beginning to feel like Steam Proton is starting to harm Linux gaming efforts more than helping them. I’ve known games that have dropped native Linux support because “It works on Proton!” only for the game to not actually work on Proton.

If we could get to a world where every game could actually be run on Linux with minimal hassle, maybe then you can beat the drum that there’s no point using Windows. Until then, it’s going to remain the OS for gaming.

until you wanna play games on it, at which point you start running into driver issues…

My mother went all in on this philosophy, to the point that growing up I wasn’t allowed to have hobbies or be in extracurriculars unless I was planning to monetize them. The only thing it did was kill my self-worth and make me feel like all hobbies are inherently pointless, because the vast majority of people will never be able to make money on them. It’s such an insane, toxic ideology.

cock

Does 15 still count as a child? I think it does, and driving 300+ miles to have sex with someone I met on the internet is still probably the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done.

It’s a real problem, but I hate filler words. “Um uh hmm” just immediately makes me want to cover my ears and tune out the conversation. It’s at a level where I’ve seriously considered vocal therapy to make certain I never do them anymore, but that doesn’t really solve the issue since nearly everyone ends up using them. I just have to try and let go of the obsession, but it’s so hard.

In an ideal world, voting should not be such a hassle that it requires motivation. The system in the U.S. is fundamentally broken, and has been for awhile.

Not banned, but it sounds like I would be if I was still a power user of reddit. The only time I still go to the site is for very specific niche gaming subreddits that the developers sometimes post in, I haven’t even seen /all in years at this point. I can post my same dogshit takes to U.S. political news on Lemmy, and it’s way less likely I’ll get some moron intentionally misconstruing my comment or mass reporting to get it removed!

I think it has to be fresh, and not old and crusty.

Okay obviously the cyanide ice cream is bad, but I’m intrigued by the thick cum soup. How many men would I need to gather to get a full cup of fresh cum?

Call your union

90% of Americans have failed at this step. That’s not a joke or hyperbole, less than 10% of Americans have membership to a labor union.

Sorry, the site that is expressly pro-Trump and has been removing comments critical of the current administration?

Beyond that, I wouldn’t even necessarily describe Reddit as a major player in the U.S. Most Americans are either part of META’s ecosystem or X, and both of those are absolutely pro-Trump.

What internet? The one algorithmically controlled by the oligarchs?

What TV? The stations that were purchased years ago by our country’s oligarchs?

What conversations? When everyone around them is being fed the same misinformation, and they treat anyone outside of their bubble as an enemy?

I would not assume the average American has any idea what is going on.

because you’re only seeing through a lense that is controlled by capital, and they refuse to show the demonstrations. I went to one yesterday, there were thousands of us and we took to the streets to demand trans rights. I won’t speak to the efficacy of the protests, but they are happening. News of them is just being suppressed.
