- Comment on Driving a manual: is it difficult? 14 hours ago:
Nah, I daily all manuals.
My best recommendation outside of trying a friend’s car, try driving one in a sim racing or racing game! That’ll give you an idea. Games like the long drive or even motortown have clutch simulation. You can even do it with a keyboard, but even a cheap wheel is good to practice with. Even with a 2 pedal wheel, you can bind the brake to the clutch and practice that way.
- Comment on Grok’s “white genocide” obsession came from “unauthorized” prompt edit, xAI says 14 hours ago:
Yep, I knew this from the very beginning. Sadly the hype consumed the stupid, as it always will. And we will suffer for it, even though we knew better. Sometimes I hate humanity.

This is why I tell people stop using LLMs. The owner class owns them (imagine that) and will tell it to tell you what they want so they make more money. Simple as that.

Thats what I’ve been doing…I say yes do it! We need more humanity nowadays too, when everything’s bots.

Ah yes I tried bazzite too and it wouldn’t even boot for me so I went mint since I had it years ago. It can be annoying if you don’t have the time or don’t enjoy troubleshooting. I’m unsure why freecad is running poor. Nvidia card?
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 4 days ago:
Using mint or ?

I’m running pop on 3 machines. One is an old Dell core 2 duo, and I’m amazed how quick it runs and never freezes (10g ram, 120gb ssd). Only issue issue have is the pop shop freezes up sometimes, even on my higher power machine. Otherwise, solid.

I AM STILL PISSED ABOUT THIS FORCED UPDATE. the second a linux phone is usable daily I will buy one. FUCK SAMSUNG

Still have em! They’ll be the last source of actual knowledge once the AI slop destroys us.

People use chat gpt to tell them what to buy. We are doomed. Our brains are about to shrink to the size of a pea in 10 years. All is going to plan for the elite.

We have off grid days on the weekend. I love it. I’d do it more if work didn’t require it or I didn’t have people who call me for help with things.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 3 weeks ago:
I actually enjoy talking with others on here. My worldview has expanded because of it.
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 3 weeks ago:
Agreed. It’s a car. I have an entertainment system at home and great speakers for listening. Cars suck for actual listening quality anyways.
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 3 weeks ago:
100% in agreement with all your points. Simplicity and modular! Look how well the original mustang did, because you could actually get what you wanted. That has disappeared completely now
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 3 weeks ago:
Some of us live in spread out communities or rural areas. You don’t expect all humans to live in a 2x2 ft cube in a 30 story tall building do you? Also, I guarantee not everyone else wants to live right next to other humans. I try to get as far as possible so I can do anything I want (be loud, be outside at any time, have parties etc). There is actually enough livable land on the planet for every single human to have 2 acres worth. Now, should people have children when there is already billions of us, that’s another question.

Absolute dream. Please build it!!
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 3 weeks ago:
That’s well and good for us, but then we are just the isolated few who do it compared to all our friends that stay with discord because they’re comfortable on it.
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 3 weeks ago:
That is sweet

I HATE the UI. It was made for iPad babies.
- Comment on Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron is stepping down 3 weeks ago:
Bring the internet back to 03 please. I beg of you
- Comment on Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron is stepping down 3 weeks ago:
Everyone I know is like this. They love the corpos because their stuff is shiny and easy, and shoved in their face so they don’t have to learn anything. They have no clue how to use anything that isn’t Apple music, discord. Instagram, Snapchat etc. All garbage.
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 3 weeks ago:
Already have embedded ads. I’m about done with this shit and willing to have no one to talk to just so I don’t give discord the satisfaction of using their Spyware.
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 3 weeks ago:
Problem is people are fucking lazy and will not move to another platform. I want teamspeak and vent back but people nowadays won’t even try. So we are forced to keep using it. People have no balls to stand up to corpos just to learn something new. It’s infuriating.
- Comment on Hrr hrr 5 weeks ago:
I agree. Theyndont need to be more than $20
- Comment on Hrr hrr 5 weeks ago:
You’re forgetting one thing. All those details you mentioned, 99.8% of all humanity does not care or notice any of that. They will listen to AI trash and like it just the same. Also, show me one actually new thing that’s been done with synthesizers that I haven’t heard before, I’d be surprised if you could. I’m just saying, nothing is original. When recorded music first existed in the later 1800s, it was actually new. I’m not arguing nothing is good anymore, I’m saying nothing is new. There’s a difference.
- Comment on Hrr hrr 5 weeks ago:
So should games stay at $20? Is that sustainable?
- Comment on Hrr hrr 5 weeks ago:
It doesn’t really have anything to do with old music being better, it’s not, I’m just saying with a new song released every minute and billions of people on earth, there is nothing new. Everything sounds like something else, it’s inevitable.
- Comment on Hrr hrr 5 weeks ago:
But music is stagnated now because everything has been done, ai makes most pop music, and a new “song” is released every minute. We have far surpassed there ever being originality again.
Hopefully people will still want live performance by a human because that is all that’s left for the arts. Corpos will destroy it with ai slop that normal people won’t be able to differentiate from human creation.
- Comment on Hrr hrr 5 weeks ago:
Not defending it, but n64 games were $80 when they came out. And that was a lot then (probably like the cost of 3 eggs today!)
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 weeks ago:
I just wasn’t sure fedora based (bazzite) would be as easy to troubleshoot as mint (Debian based) since arguably debian/Ubuntu are the most popular distro.
