KDE is pretty enough that I’m willing to put up with my decade-old laptop freezing every time I switch windows
Cinnamon is reliable enough that I’m willing to put up with it being kinda ugly on my desktop PC
I still don’t know enough about Linux to have any opinions deeper than aesthetic differences

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you had to replace the floppy disk save symbol in software with a new symbol for saving what would you choose and why?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was it like the first time you had to call 911?
2·1 month agoThankfully boring. Empty wrecked SUV blocking some side street at like 4:00 am. It was a Saturday with a bunch of shootings and fights, so it took them like 20 minutes to send someone out to check on it.
I do wish I had asked to be updated with info about it. Was it stolen? Is the driver OK? No idea
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

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If a Great Depression happened again, would people still stand together like they did during the penny auctions?
3·3 months agoNo, primarily because nobody knows their neigbors anymore
“This is the problem with you Amerikkkan imperialists, you only care about your own people and don’t give a shit about anyone outside your country”

3·4 months agoGotcha, I misread your comment. I guess if immortality is not optional, I can see the appeal of at least seeing what happens to human who makes it to that unfathomable age

3·4 months agoI’ve read enough of Wikipedia’s timeline of the far future to know that I do not want to live forever. Get back in the coke.
