  Honestly I stopped using the OS because of the ads, it was such a ballsy move to keep spamming me with “use one drive” “try edge” “look at alllll theses aaaappppsssz that yoouuuu can pay for” or even “activate windows” my OS is my home not your billboard ffs

  That command terminal thing is so real. When it works, its magic. When it doesn’t work, you just messed with forces you didn’t understand and are already forced into chancing a repair and maybe make the problem worst or getting back to the original one! (Very discouraging if you are just trying to get work done, especially for non techies)

  I think the problem with linux users is that they can’t imagine that the appeal for most people who want to use an OS is to make something happen in the “real world” with a top level piece of software, like you want to draw a cute cat on the screen not learn how the compositor draws the pixels to different resolution screens WHEN the monitor model is a use case supported scenario.

  The objective is to use the computer as a tool NOW for a SPECIFIC thing without diving into the inner guts of the machine for some people, and that’s honestly fine.

  Yeah the news are triggering the worst instincts of some users who tend to lash out alot, and some trolls might be taking advantage of that

  Yeah it kinda does, WHEN YOUR INSTANCE IS ALWAYS DOWN AAAARGH

  It would be best to focus on policies and ideas rather than ideological alignement. The moment someone says “thats socialist!” “That’s right wing!” Is the moment where no meaningful action is taken, where discussion ends since you suddenly decide that your alignment is irreconcilable and makes no outcome possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Live in the present, take time to analyse things. It’s ok if you are slower at some things. Every time spent reflecting will enrich your next reflection and bring more peace and comprehension. Be patient. Try new things. Meet people. Hold your own opinions to scrutiny, back them up with evidence. Do the work. Trust the right people. Don’t give in to fear or anger. Allow yourself to feel sad. Analyse your frustration and feelings. Talk to yourself if no one is listening. Keep some of your hobbies especially if it’s skill dependant going.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've recently turned into a blocker.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I block only when I see a user who is unhinged enough and is obviously not getting banned by moderators. Usually theses people can be baited into making terrible arguments terrible opinions backed by either terrible ideology or lies, and mods can deal with them.

  I think reporting users is more effective to not let the whole site become completely unusable by attracting shitheads/trolls/agitators who even if blocked keep posting garbage because that might be seen by new users.

  Also responding to them is taxing on some people’s mental health, so this isint for everyone and I get why people might opt for it. I prefer arguing since there is a chance that they might be misinformed or hot headed (me included).

  Honestly it depends on how you want to engage with a platform.
