  I hate car-centric infrastructure so fucking much

  Yep, last console I bought was an XB1. I really only use it for playing 4K discs and for couch co-op.

  I don’t foresee buying another console unless I have a really good reason to.

  So…piglet thumping but with a seagull?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite sport to watch or play?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Watch: hockey

  Play: eh I don’t know, I’m not very good at sports

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In a row?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think freewill truly exists?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love these sorts of conversations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To join Facebook these days, one must record a video selfie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t have a Facebook account before. I sure as fuck am not getting one now.

  Shifting the weight on our feet really helps

  This is why some people use wobble boards with standing desks. Makes a big difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s sci-fi show (I think it’s “Foundation”) where passengers have to be sedated for their high-speed space travel. Not teleportation, but I think it’s approaching light speed.

  Some alien race can handle it, so they are used as pilots and crew of the ships.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate air travel so much. I have non-local family so deal with a single r/t per year, but that’s about my limit.

  I don’t use Revanced, but using a mobile browser in desktop mode has produced good results for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iceland approved the 4-day workweek in 2019: nearly 6 years later, all the predictions made have come true.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I might stop trying to speedrun FIRE if I could have a 4x8 schedule. Going from 71% of the week being workdays to 57% of the week is fucking huge. Longer weekend and shorter workweek is like a double effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prices are out of control⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they reformulated Coke Zero and got rid of the sucralose. It uses aspartame and acesulfame potassium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  upgrade to a supported operating system

  What are the options? Let me guess, Micro$oft Windows or Windows

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OMG no please don’t call me.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do not leave a voice mail. God invented text messaging for a reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OMG no please don’t call me.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I basically never use video calls, except for work meetings and support calls. They simply aren’t something I do in my personal life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Religions have some of the wackiest rules⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “We’re going to cut off (part of) your Johnson!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It should be noted that these only support messaging (including media attachments) but not voice/video calls. I’ve been using bridging for a few years now though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like Matrix, but it isn’t exactly the easiest platform to use and definitely has some jankiness with voice/video calls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Network effect. The platform itself isn’t great, but it’s reached a critical mass of popularity.

  1 - the tines on it are plenty long and it’s narrower than most of the others

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spider mech!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  TIHI

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s disappointing. Which one has this issue?

  Fwiw, I have used OpenOffice and OnlyOffice. I actually haven’t used LibreOffice specifically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Libreoffice and other FOSS alternatives just simply don’t come close

  I really only use Word and Excel, and I find the FOSS alternatives just fine. I can understand if power-users might find the newer features worthwhile, but for basic word processing and spreadsheets the FOSS options are good enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought a new computer a few years ago that has 11 on it. With how the Steam Deck has seemed to really promote Linux for gaming, I’m seriously considering it on my next build.

  It is very obvious to me that Windows is becoming increasingly subject to enshittification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 11, so not directly affected. But with “no more security updates” being the only real reason one needs to change, the obvious question here is if there is 3rd party software that can protect a Windows 10 system?

  I remember when anti-virus software was in common use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve worked with a number of workaholics over the years. A few have straight-up admitted that they were taking on extra work to get away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tired of winning yet?
