I’m annoyed with how mastodon works and I don’t think it’s ever going to change, so I might give bluesky a try.

Yeah, the site is mean. The doomerism is also really strong here. I should probably just try to cut out social media entirely. It’s not good for me.

I got drunk a lot and called it “getting into making cocktails”

I’ve been using Linux desktop as a daily driver for a little under 10 years now and I’m still discovering ways I could be doing things better. There isn’t some magic tutorial that somebody can give you here which will suddenly have you as competent with Linux as you are with Windows. Try things, break things, when things break, look into what you can do to fix them. Keep system snapshots and backups of your personal files so you don’t have any data loss if things go wrong. And snapshots are useful for unfucking a system that you’ve just fucked.

Sorry if you don’t want to hear this, but you kinda have to figure it out yourself. Thankfully, for specific issues and questions, there is a ton of material out there, and people are generally pretty happy to help.

It’s not like anyone cares once you have the job anyway

My cousin only gets the ugliest, most fucked up looking dogs, and I’ll never understand it

I hear that India is fun for parties and weddings, but also that it’s extremely dirty and a dangerous place to visit. I’m a man, but I especially wouldn’t want to be a white woman visiting, I’ve seen videos of how they’ll stare with no regard for how she feels - Indian men have a very poor reputation when it comes to how they act towards European/US women.

Windows for a long time before I knew what OSes were. I never liked how locked down MacOS is so I’ve never used that. Then I tried Ubuntu in college, mostly to play with. Then tried Arch, fucked up my system a couple times and reinstalled, then tried Manjaro because I’d heard it was more stable and less fuss. And now I’m back on Arch. I think I’ve finally mostly figured it out over the last decade lol, I haven’t had a problem with my install in years.

SLAMS

Probably not lol. Seems to me more along the lines of those folks copy/pasting the whole “I hereby claim that nothing on my Facebook can be used without my permission” on Facebook.

Most of us are presumably adults who can afford to pay for things when they’re convenient. That’s what it’s about for me, convenience. If you’re not making it convenient for me to buy your thing fair and square, then I’m gonna pirate it.

As far as uni workflow goes, I don’t know what you do, but LibreOffice worked just fine for me in college for papers and such. Sheets is definitely inferior to excel if you’re doing serious spreadsheet work, but Writer works perfectly fine as a Word clone for simple word processing. My professors never commented on it.
