I found my girlfriend just before COVID popped off, but I would argue that dating apps are insufferable now due to how polarizing the world is.

Just having basic conversations with people online, including Lemmy, is so tiring. Like how I was called names for saying Windows just works, and then as I was being attacked for it, I was literally typing the comment from a Linux distro that currently wont allow Steam to download at higher than ~120Mbps, despite my internet being 1900Mbps. Then the guy continued to go off, calling me names, telling me that I am such a moron, all because I showed a live example of how Linux wasn't "just working"?

The internet is so exhausting and toxic these days.

I just hate the fact if 10mm is too big, I can get 9mm, but if 15/16 is too big, fuck me, I guess. Bringing the full toolbox over because what random fucking bullshit number comes before it?

Like I'm here to fix shit, not do math to figure out which socket is one size smaller.

Or Windows just works on so much different hardware. You can build a PC with the weirdest mix and match of hardware, and Windows will just.. work. Also I bought a Microsoft sidewinder wheel from 1998 from a thrift store for $8, plugged it into my Windows 10 PC, and it just worked. Nothing special was needed. 1998 hardware literally plug and play on Windows 10 (and I've tested it on 11, and it works the same).

You can install MacOS on non-Apple hardware, but you need to buy very specific hardware, and download very specific hacks, to make it work.

Even Linux only works on specific hardware. This entire thread has people talking about how broken Linux is on their setups. The suggestions are to buy specific hardware and run very specific versions of Linux.

Can't wait for Linux to be mainstream in 2085!

My instance doesn't block it, so it's everywhere.

Most of the posts come from lemmynsfw.com

Just cost me 1K to replace 3 NICs, 1 router, and 2 switches to freaking 2.5Gb.

I tried it, but then realized I couldn't even view my photos I took with my Nexus phone at the time. No Google photos app, and the web browser just took me to a page that said my phone isn't supported.

YouTube was also only supported via a third party app, and was missing pretty much every feature.

As soon as I realized I would struggle to do the most basic tasks, I bailed.

Google Nexus (and now Pixel) has always allowed you to double tap the power button to open the camera, and then use the volume buttons to take the photo. Or you can use the volume buttons to zoom in and out.

Isn't this the same? Dedicated buttons that launch the camera and take photos?

Do you have any idea how excited I was for the GTA trilogy remake? I've been waiting for so long. Only to be slapped in the face.

The worst part is that I know rockstar will never attempt to remake them again. I'll never get that San Andreas remaster.

Ya see, that's the thing about Samsung. They promise years of updates, but you'll get them when they feel like it. Enjoy being treated like dirt with your 1 year old phone.

Creators can see how much they make from premium subscribers vs ad views. They do make more from people who pay for premium.

Why do you say they don't? Like I'm curious where you got that from, when it's blatantly wrong?
