  I’ve seen the db0 admins getting a little power trippy. Like instance ban for a conversation in a community on a different instance. Following all rules and being respectful the entire time. Im happy to respect the db0 rules and fedi sovereignty on their instance. I don’t think instance bans for off instance activities is right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is walking away the best way to deal with a work clique?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get why people get so bothered by shit like this. Just ignore them do ur work and fuck off when ur no longer getting paid. What are they gonna do sabotage your work? Just send em a polite email with something like:

  dear such and such

  I require abc to complete my designated scope of work as required. However due to xyz it is not feasible to so as required could you please remedy this issue.

  Regards some asshole.

  If its not effecting your work who gives a single fuck. Obviously u got the whole office politics game u need to play to get promotions pay rises etc. But a lot of large companied will use hard metrics to determine such things and u can game those systems.

  Bro this is simple. Just say we can’t hire u as u have not proven your right to work in this country. U don’t need to pussyfoot around the issue or let them down slowly. Just drop the truth and move on. Ur over-thinking a simple thing.

  I’d they do they clearly overestimate their safety.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have u tried doing like a week of meal prep at a time? I cook a weeks worth of meals every Sunday then don’t do anything during the week. U can avoid eating the same thing for a week strait if u have multiple sets of meals ready then u can mix and match to get variety. I do generic protein then generic carbs and generic sides then can mix and match those in all sorts of combination to also increase variety.

  Yeah and vegimite has been proven to reduce all sorts of disease. Its part of being healthy u Americans should try it some time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coffee is not brewed homogeneous⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coffee is not brewed homogeneous⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Australia Starbucks failed cos its coffee was so shit relative to our real coffee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MIT engineers create 'spaghetti' style metamaterial that could enable stretchy computer chips that are almost indestructible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By stretchy do they mean slightly less brittle and thus slightly more impact resistant? Not that this is a problem we need solving. The biggest issues we need to solve in technology are batter and glass

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux help and actual pros and cons⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OK so you want something simple that just works and will give you minimal headaches.

  I see from ur comments ur running nvidia which is a pain to get drivers working for on some distros but some have a graphical installer to get then going.

  I would defiantly recommend mint as its based on one of the most common disros giving u extremely transferable knowlege and very simmillar to windows.

  As people have said check protondb u will only really have issues with anti cheat games. Indie games I find often have better Linux support but check protondb.

  If u wanna duel boot so u can still use windows then I reccommend a separate drive. Windows on a separate partition but the same drive is unhappy and its known that windows will sometimes purposely blow up Linux cos Microsoft hates you.

  If you are going to duelboot then for security u will want windows 11 but its shit so I recommend tiny11 or cristitis’s debloater to uninstall all the crap.
