I upvote comments I like that contribute to the conversation; downvote dumb jokes and people just trying to get easy upvotes. And also comments I don’t like/disagree with, though I try avoiding that if I can help it cause it’s bad etiquette (especially if it contributes to the discussion).

Late 30s; got tired of getting constantly banned for every god damn thing. When they killed off my favorite reddit app that was the last straw.

Fuck reddit and fuck that little pedophile Spez.

I’ve had a couple of parent-sanctioned sips of beer once every few years as a teenager, but never got drunk nor smoked any weed for the first time until age 20.

Tankies, no niche subs; no gearheads here either.

Also you annoy the hell out of me with your constant anti-AI and pro-Linux bullshit.

Yes I use Linux. Yes I understand why you don’t like AI. I’m not the biggest fan myself. I just don’t make it my entire personality.

That’s… already a thing.

I don’t like that you can’t downvote, though.

I don’t remember pedaling my eBike, either. With a big enough motor, they’re all but completely vestigal.

What’s wrong with being anti-CCP? I hate China’s corrupted government almost as much as I hate the USA’s.

As a lefty, I would hate having to control the shifter with my left hand; it feels a lot more natural on the steering wheel. Furthermore, I don’t understand why right hand drive cars don’t have mirrored transmissions. Having first gear be away from you would be so weird.

Also I prefer to play guitar right-handed as well, because why would I want to have my dominant hand do the strumming? It makes a lot more sense for me to do the fretting with my left hand, since it is more difficult than strumming.

Neat, but this only makes me miss StumbleUpon. It was so freaking good for discovering niche websites. I have no idea why it shut down.

There’s an official Lemmy app? Is it better than Voyager?

In the early 2000s there was this website called dll-files.com or something like that, and every time that error popped up (which happened a lot in the 90s and 2000s), you’d go to that website, download the missing file, and 99% of the time it would fix the problem. These days I’d advise against obtaining random DLL files from the internet but back then it was like magic.

Don’t sign into Windows with an online account. You can still do offline only accounts and it fixes this problem. The Microsoft Store still works too but IDK why you’d use that.

I vibe coded an autohotkey script to automate most of my job. It works reasonably well, and frees up enough time that I can now get paid to browse the web. The only part I can’t automate with a vibe-coded script is physically moving documents to the scanner, but if I figured out a way to automate that with robotics then my company wouldn’t need me anymore.

I’m sorry I don’t follow this company’s actions as closely as you do. I can’t even remember the last time I used Oracle-branded software. (Unless you count MySQL, which I’ve never had an issue with. It just works.)

Oh so it’s a greed thing, but not quite a Nestlé level of evil thing, then. Meh.

Reminds me of my favorite quote from a bad Bond film (and a good N64 game), The World is not Enough: “What’s the point of living if you can’t feel alive?”

Because I don’t want to stand up with shit still sticking to my cheeks. I flush immediately to minimize the smell.
