Forget you have a car parked in your garage and it will get dirty over time.

Exactly and then from time to time your clear out and clean the garage. Hence the original post.

Bold of you to assume people have perfect knowledge of what they installed and what they use and how much.

So then, i will have to build my own PeerTube+Lemmy+Misskey instance… wish me luck

I do! Building things rocks!

so i have to do it the hard way and mention @fediverse@lemmy.world so that I can post here. It’s a good workaround, considering it doesn’t have built-in support for communities.

That IS the built in support.

If I am wrong, then is there any way in which we can solve this issue?

Yes you are wrong, just keep doing it the way you just successfully did in this. That’s the solution.

Mastodon dot SOCIAL did, the big public instance. Mastodon the software doesn’t have these restrictions.

2025 is a banger year for open source and internet freedom.

The question is mostly about what kind of gaming.

Most single player experiences are no longer a problem because of steam proton, but multiplayer anti cheat and other AAA DRM is sometimes a windows only thing.

Coding is just superior on linux. It’s the platform built by coders to make their own life easier for 30 years.

You should dual boot, try it out for a few games and see how the dev process translates and get your feet wet.

Setting up a VM is probably a lot more effort than just installing it.

Sure, it’s a matter taste and I too like a good UI.

Both can exist, that’s a another beauty of linux.

A bad person? No, absolutely not.

The problem, if there is any, would be general health and fitness, preventing you from doing some things. But that’s you, doesn’t mean your child can’t do them. E.g. idk skateborarding. That being said, in many cases it’s an attitude problem, if you exercise regularly and stay healthy and are really putting in that work that you know is good for you but maybe put off, you can make it work.

Forget the perceptions, you can’t change how other people see you.

Congratulations on becoming a parent!

Also, updates.

“hey computer! Update!”

“Sure thing, here is a list of 57 packages I will update, y/n?”

“y”

“ok… done!”

👌

It depends a lot in which context the “discussion” is taking place.

• at a dinner table it’s more about small talk and performing… “social grooming” as you would observe it in ape societies.
• at official events, people either have a job or an established opinion, they are in a stressful environment that does not actually allow them to make rational evaluations
• in school / academia / media, the particular response and opinion will affect your grade, social standing and future career opportunities

In all of those situations, it should be obvious why the “dominant” position does need to give an inch, for social reasons.

Even in absolutely perfect conditions, calm environments, prepared discussion participants, “objective neutrality” towards the outcome, individuals will have different opinions on importance of topics or methods and will discard “details” or see them as irrefutable counter examples.

Basically, there are lot of (subconscious) things going on that prevent an “objective discussion” from happening. I’m sure you can find specific examples of what could be influencing people in specific circumstances once you look for them.

please make it die faster, I want for the communities to move to matrix.

Makes sense.

Geopoliticts shifts, good idea to just stop, wait and see who’s ready to be on friendly terms.

Particularly in Europe, the result is like a few election cycles out. Could go in like 5 different directions and is impossible to predict.

You can do both: encrypt the transmission for security and record it in a tamper proof way for transparency.

There is no need to avoid it.

The point is that everyone has choice. They can join the big communities, but if one fails, people can just switch the instance they’re on, make a “competing” community and if that’s successful and “better” it will eventually, naturally overtake the old one.

Americans are dyeing ONIONS confirmed.

The first thing to consider is: can you afford the luxury of picking something you like?

In an ideal world we get the job we want, we have fun doing it, nice colleagues, etc… This may not be true for you. You can pick a job you don’t particularly like, if the job market seems good, use that to just afford living and go from there. That makes it somewhat easy, because you’re no longer picking something that’s “nice” you’re optimizing working conditions: working times, union coverage, how long the education takes, vs. how much it pays. Maybe you find that working in a sewage plant or being a plumber isn’t nice, but way better than doing a public facing customer service job. Or working your ass off in academia, 60 hours a week, with the reward of a wet handshake, a mention in a paper that’s cited 5 times that your supervisor uses to boost their standing but not yours and a two year timer on job stability.

I can’t picture myself in 5/10 years from now and can’t even imagine what type of job I’d love, bc everything seems out fo reach and impossible, just like it felt when I was 20.

I’m afraid of wasting time bc of my age

Besides the job, what do you even want? And that question is hard and some people don’t find the answer for decades, so don’t stress over it. Sometimes it takes a decade of life experience to come to an “obvious” conclusion. The trick is that the ten years aren’t “wasted”, they are *necessary" to give you the context to understand what you want.

We are generally limited in the time we have, but it’s only really urgent in three aspects: if you are terminally ill, you are becoming old or disabled and physically can’t do certain things and family planning. If you know you want kids, make a plan for 10 years into the future. That’s important because the requirements around kids are completely different than without. I don’t think traveling with toddlers is smart, kids are expensive, they will eat your time and attention. If you want to get something bigger done, consider doing it before having kids, or your kids making you choose them instead of your “dream”. Which can be bad, because you never ever want to think that you could have done X if only you didn’t have kids. That’s a regret that poisons a lot of things.

Anyway, YOU still have plenty of time. At least 10 years, probably 20, until you even have to start worrying about anything.

Do you care for art, people, technology, animals? Sitting on a couch? Sports? Cooking? Baking? Culture? Anything?

If nothing particular jumps at you, it’s totally fine to browse e.g. movies, technology, memes, comics, music, literature, or to travel until you find something that strikes you. Like, do you even know what’s out there? How are you supposed to pick something you like if you haven’t seen anything?

Society throws a lot of things at you that you are supposed to care about and supposed to do, but you have to actually explore and decide if those things are actually for you, or if you just believe or do them because everyone you know does them or talks about them.

I recommend writing a diary or taking notes on this. Revisiting your old thoughts can be difficult and it’s easier to organize your thoughts on paper.

Personally, I finished a technical education, worked in a few projects and even finished a few things I didn’t like to test out what I didn’t like and want to avoid. E.g. I worked in a city I didn’t live in, commuted 3 hours one way every other weekend, lived in conditions I didn’t like… It wasn’t nice in the moment, but now I know what to avoid.

Final note: statistics say you are not alone. The opposite in fact, lots of young people go through the same issues. So maybe that’s comforting, idk.

He does content? He can be a bit aggressive about his topics, that can rub people the wrong way.

I don’t think he did anything offensively, legally or morally wrong.

I know just he exists, I don’t follow his content.

I mean, put a small tax on it and it basically pays for itself. Don’t even need to finance it upfront.

Depends on how smart she is.

To not sabotage things, you can always leave it at a “mix of luck, talent and hard work”. And you’re working hard, and maybe you even have luck, but step dad might have all three.

If she’s smart, you can drop the whole thing on her: first of all, you love her, her mom loves her, her step dad hopefully does too or at least likes her and that has nothing to do with money. Then you can just be transparent on how much you earn, how much time that means in effort, and how much “lots of money” takes to earn. Then you can just do some math, and her step dad’s numbers won’t add up.

It’s a sensitive topic though, you can say your piece, communicate with your ex and the step dad about that she asked and what you said. They might have a different take.

Might even spin it into making her think about what she wants to do in the future.
