Healthcare fucks over everyone equally, it doesn’t discriminate.

I just bought a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 with an R7 4750U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD and put Linux Mint 22, no regrets here!

I’m sorry but the fact that people are so outraged with Biden for doing this is exactly why Kamala lost.

Trump and the Democrats are held to completely different standards. Trump is willing to fight dirty to win at all costs, and that’s why he won. It sucks to hear but it’s true.

An ad blitz doesn’t matter if your product is junk. Make something that isn’t garbage if you want to retain people, people want good products.

I think we all thought that tbh. Intel let their hubris get them and this is the result.

They don’t have innovation anymore, I don’t know what they’re doing and I don’t think they do either.

I wish AMD would catch up in the GPU side of things so it wasn’t such a monopoly with NVIDIA but I guess we’ll see, I mean they did knock Intel down eventually so who knows maybe it’s possible.

That would have gone truly horrible if AMD did go bankrupt, that would have been a really dark timeline for all of us.

I think of myself as someone who always wants to know, I want to know the truth, I don’t like not knowing things. Plus, it could help finding out about genetic conditions and things to be on the lookout for, which can definitely be valuable.

I’d still never do one of these tests because of the privacy concerns and because I don’t trust companies with something like this, especially since I have seen so many times where companies have a lax attitude or lax policies or both about security.

This is why so many laptops, including Lenovo laptops, have webcam covers. You could always put a piece of tape over it lol

Because he’s a cute money-cat. He is showing how much money he has.

Hahahahahaha.

Fuck. It’s so fake it makes me feel sick, I hate large corporations, especially ones with monopolies. It’s disgusting.

I use Xfce, as do most of my Linux friends, it’s lightweight and simple yet also very customizable.

I think it’s easy to blame a company for how they are handling this, but at the same time, if you’re using a router that old you should probably already assume that it has vulnerabilities that haven’t and probably won’t be patched.

I think a lot of the future of social media is going to be determined by ease of use/beginner-friendliness.

The issue (and strength) with Lemmy is there’s multiple instances. You’re not gonna be able to explain it to non-technical people, even as an experienced programmer myself I sometimes find myself getting confused by Lemmy. People don’t want to learn, they just want to use something that works.

Then again, KBin only had the one instance pretty much I think, and yet that died out anyway. So I think part of it is people just want to go where everyone else is, and that did end up being Lemmy and not KBin (although the maintainer of KBin also refused outside contributions which helped seal its fate lol)

If Bluesky has the one instance, and you literally just go to bsky.app and sign up, that’s going to be a lot easier than trying to sell people on Mastodon or Lemmy when they Google those. Then again, I just googled Mastodon and it took me right to Mastodon.social so maybe I am mistaken.

I use Ubuntu because it’s the most popular and well-supported.

I’m going to be switching to Mint at some point because it’s basically a community-run fork of Ubuntu and I don’t trust Canonical anymore, but it’s hard to justify installing my OS from scratch considering I’ve been using Ubuntu since 2017.

I recently ordered a Thinkpad T14 Gen1 with an R7 4750U, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD and you better believe I’m going to be putting Mint on that as soon as I get it.

It’s a shame, I wanted to like KBin because it’s PHP and I specialize in PHP (also JS and Java), but the maintainer just made sure that it wasn’t sustainable.

It will be interesting to see which one wins out, like how Lemmy won out vs kbin/mbin, since kbin never accepted any outside help and stopped contributing. Not really putting the open in open-source that way, IMO.

Wow, that’s kind of a lot more Linux than I was expecting, but it also makes sense. Pretty cool tbh.

This is why people say Americans are morons, because they elect shitheads like this.

Can’t wait to see what these fuckheads have in store for America, and the rest of the world. Plus, Canada is getting it’s own version of Trump next year, so that’s incredible too.

What wonderful times we live in.

No, it’s going to get worse with the Trump administration.

It’s going to be a hell of a long 4 years, for America and the rest of the world. Damn.
