When I had cats, I used to give them a little head out before I was about to vacuum and they would leave the room sometimes after I bought out the vacuum.

To this day, I have no idea how I got them to listen to me.

When I was in therapy I learned lots of DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) skills one of which being ‘radical acceptance,’ which basically means you fully accept the situation and move on. What I’m trying to say is, saying “it is what it is” is a legit scientifically proven coping skill and I think that’s really funny.

I’ll never get over this because how do you bankrupt a literal money printer.

I love Orion! It’s a little clunky but I love being able to use the full UBlock Origin.

Honestly, since I’m not very techie and unable to donate (for now) my main contributions are simply regularly using open source software. I’ve switched a good portion of my daily online services to FOSS alternatives. It’s fun to find them and give them a shot.

My laptop has been discontinued by the manufacture for a couple years now and with support for Windows 10 ending, I wanted to increase the lifespan of my device so I looked into Linux. The lack of ads, bloat, and spyware are also major selling point to me.

I was like half paying attention during our WW2 history lessons and the parallels between the USA today and the formation of Nazi Germany is clear as day. Whoever can’t see it was probably fast asleep during each class.

We had a couple of brutal heat waves where I am this summer. It was like 35C but reached 43C+ with the humidity. It’s probably not super hot from where you might be, but it’s practically unheard of in my Canadian province. I couldn’t go anywhere without feeling like I was melting and I was covered in sweat it was so embarrassing! >_< Summer is my favourite time of year, I love going on long hikes regularly but the heat made it impossible.

Stop spying on me! /j

I’ve only used Apple computer a handful of times, but there is a lot of elements to Pop!_OS that remind of Mac. Particularly the tiny loading circle your mouse creates after opening a window reminds me of the similar that used to come up on my elementary school old Macs.

I also switched to Pop!_OS a couple days ago. I’ve only used Windows all my life and this distro made everything so easy. The Pop Store is a lifesaver.

I heard about this on Lemmy a couple weeks ago. I’m so jealous, I wish my city would host something similar.

I’m glad someone got the reference for my wallpaper ^-

Here’s the link https://embed.pixiv.net/artwork.php?illust_id=100894625&mdate=1661935764

Lmao

I was referring to how I have never used anything but Windows and have only seen a BIOS screen when I called HP for tech support. I guess having a Miku wallpaper made nobody think that was the case lol.

I’ll try that out, tysm!

Thanks! I’m so happy I’m free of seeing Copilot, Cortana, or Bing results each time I try to search for something on my computer its very refreshing.

I think is more of the loading power of my computer, sometimes there’s a bit of a delay when I open an application or try to close it, opening some setting will have more loading time than others. Although now that i think about it, I most likely had this problem with Windows, so its probably a hardware thing. My laptop is “old” by today’s standards (or at least, that’s what HP thinks lol). I have an HP Pavillion x360 2017 model. It has 8GB Ram, Intel Core i3 7th Gen processer, Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 620 and a 1TB SSD.
