Not from a Jedi.

I don’t even need to say it anymore. Every single time a coworker, friend, or family member expresses frustration with Windows in my vicinity, I just shoot them a snarky glance and they preemptively tell me to shut up. ❤️

Never underestimate people’s stubbornness to stick with enshittified platforms.

I’m the one obsessively scavenging for wood around the camp site to keep that wood pile healthy.

As far as the Fediverse goes, yes. I looked into kbin a while back, and it looked promising, but Lemmy had a huge start and it seems like kbin’s development has halted.

In a lot of states it’s illegal for workers to work too many consecutive hours without a break, especially if it’s a physical labor job. Your employer may legally not be able to allow this.

Though sometimes they are just petty and inflexible.

Transit rights are human rights.

So using a combination of this comment and an existing leaked DB (trust me, your credentials have leaked somewhere at some point), all your accounts could be trivially cracked.

A password manager would be the same amount of effort, but way more secure.

I literally work for a state government and I use password managers for both work and personal.

EDIT: For clarity, the data is hosted on-prem. I don’t send govt credentials to the cloud like a moron.

Who TF isn’t using a password manager in 2025? Like how would you even function?

EDIT: Y’all need to stop replying with your password generation strategies. JFC it’s like you’re asking someone to pwn your shit.

As annoying as this is, it’s not really the radio station’s fault. Broadcast licenses for songs are cartoonishly expensive, so most stations can only afford to hold so many at a time.

So like most problems in the music industry, it’s due to the greed of the record companies.

Right. So, my last sentence then.

Here’s the perspective that helped me the most with this:

You don’t have to quit meat (sorry for the pun) cold turkey.

Even cutting your meat consumption by half can have a significant impact. Start by ordering a vegetarian option instead of meat every once in a while. Experiment and find veggie alternatives you actually like, there are tons of options now. I heard someone refer to this as “microdosing veganism”, and it can really help make the change less exhausting.

Over time, you might even notice your tastes start to shift and vegan options become actually enjoyable instead of a “sacrifice”.

Generational categories aren’t real. They’re arbitrary lines made up for listicals and inflammatory content. There is every type of person in every generation, and most trends are more due to the natural progression of age than generation drift.

Comparing generations is only useful when evaluating the context in which they live(d).

Weapons of bowel destruction.

Pornhub is lowkey a very skilled tech company. Delivering a quality video platform on the scale they do is incredibly difficult.

Also obligatory: Year of the Linux Desktop! 🎉

ELI5 please.

The Witcher. I really want to like it. It seems like the kind of game I would love and I recognize that it’s an objectively well made game. However, I’ve bounced off it at least 4 times after getting 1-4 hours in.
