Yes. One is also a doctor. She got vaccinated earlier than most of us. Same with boosters.

I'm in Asia. I can't speak for everyone but the people I know distrust the CCP much more than the US government. Sure, the US is far from blameless, but at least over here the CCP has a much worse reputation. I guess that's one factor.

Another is more than a few people seem to think Meta is strictly a private company while tiktok is somehow being used/controlled by the Chinese government.

Not to mention long COVID. Personally know at least 2 people who got it (myocarditis or something? Can't remember).

Gentoo or Linux From Scratch are perfect for complete noobs. You won't regret them 👍

(I do hope you have hair so you have something to rip out while learning those distros)

Exactly. I mean, I understand why people hate being used as "retirement plans" - it's just a bad position to be in considering you also have to start your new life but...

Saving for retirement?

Hell of a lot easier said than done. A million pesos won't get you as far and you need much more than that. Hindi sapat pension natin specially for low earners kasi they'll be getting less. Plus like you've said, buti sana if electricity/water bills and food lang kailangan mong pagkagastusan. Imagine being your 70s living alone.

Instead of getting pissed at your parents (or other parents) and screaming to the world that you're antinatalist, why not hold our government and corporations accountable?

Natawa ako sa team building hahahaha. Tama naman.

EndeavourOS is more like an opinionated Arch install

Fellow EOS user and this is a hilarious yet accurate description. Still have vanilla arch but EOS on my laptop now since I tend to mess with it often.

Gotcha. I might not be remembering right since it's been a while since i visited r/philippines.

even during that time where they used land mines.

Damn... Never saw that comment/post but it's hard af to defend using landmines.

I appreciate the answer.

his allegiance to the NPA, grandenko

TIL. Holy shit. Tbh, i enjoyed his comments. Very observant and articulate. Seemed he didn't let his bias show, now that I know his allegiance.

Is that why he's not a mod there anymore?

Anyway, those who do this are well-aware of the logic. You pointing it out like you're the first person to think of it actually makes you look like an idiot lacking in self-awareness.

Very well said.

Similar situation here. Grandma and grandpa from my mom's side were broke af and were from the countryside. Still bred like rabbits. Did everything they could so their kids can finish school and now all of them are successful. I'd even go so far as to say their morals are in place (a few of them provide for poor kids despite having families).

Edit: IDEK why I forgot but i literally have an aunt with 8 kids. Can't even remember all of my cousins' names. They're doing extremely well today. Better than me, tbh, and i only have one sibling and we were middle class growing up.

ngayon nalimutan na pinanggalingan nila by being judgy assholes.

There's a sub i know of that'd downvote the f out of this statement. Glad I'm not there anymore lmao.

“It is simply impossible to solve the issue of inflation in conditions ... when the military-industrial complex receives unlimited funding, when everything they ask for is given to them, when the share of this military-industrial complex in the economy grows at a very rapid pace,”

Fuck Putin and his stupid war. It's always the masses that suffer.

Still waiting for LinusXI Pro Max.

Thank fucking god

Yep. During my very short (6 mos) stint as a tech support rep for Dell, I've learned to assume your customer is an idiot. Even when they're using techie terms or jargon (and at times more so). Never assume other things besides that or you'll probably regret it.

You have to be very clear and precise. A single misunderstanding can take a simple problem a lot of time to get fixed.

Honestly, if I didn't need chat apps like Slack for my job I'd be pretty content with one of these. They'd still be good as secondary phones, but unless they can support chat apps (without other online apps like FB, IG, and even browsers - so good luck with that) they can't be my only/main device.

Why? First, because this editorial board doesn’t like getting yelled at. Second, there are going to be way fewer people with way less power mad at us.

I love this article lmao

GD ftw. I read somewhere there's going to be ankther expansion. Is it true? And when?

14 is the new 6. Ngl, he looks young af.

Okay, I'm dumb. I've never used this. It seems it's a script. How safe is it? How exactly does it work? (i want to try it out lol)

This honestly makes a lot of sense. 🤔

I think it's DDG. I forget exactly, but i think I've read somewhere DGG has ties to Bing. Idk the specifics.

As for Brave, yeah. I agree. It's good to be wary. Unfortunately, not a lot of chromium-based alternatives. Linux has ungoogled chromium but security isn't that great either. It sucks, tbh.

One risk of the fediverse is that data is cached locally from federated servers. That could put server owners in legal jeopardy for hosting illegal content.

This 100%. And not just piracy-related stuff.

Tbh, there have been some decisions by lemmy.world admins that i didn't really support, but this one is understandable imo.

I wonder if the lemmy devs are aware of this and what steps can be taken to protect the instance owners from stuff in other instances that can get them in trouble.

Yup same. I was with Qobuz until it started having issues (kept buffering even if there's no problem with my connection). Apple music is buggy on Win 10 and sounded worse than Qobuz so i skipped it. I'm now on Tidal (fuck MQA still) but still looking for goodbetter music streaming services. Netflix can rot.

I was kinda curious why Raddle wasn't your first go-to. This explains it.

Yo momma's so dumb she stayed in reddit.

oh my. i just took a short break and what do we have here? lol

JK. i've seen other instances defederating from that place before. didn't really think much of it because...well, i don't really don't go there. i also assumed they'd be getting stricter (because how tf is that allowed where their server is?). guess i was wrong.

i think it's a good call to defederate. also, i just checked the instance link at the bottom of the page and that instance is still there? i thought it would reflect that it was defederated?

Thank you! I'll be back if I run into some trouble. :D

This. There's archinstall now, too. A bit buggy in my experience so I prefer the old fashioned way.

I've never tried the extension pack, but I do have the guest additions. How do you install it?

Man, Madison's tweets took this to a whole new level. I haven't watched the video yet so idk how bad it is considering the new info, but maybe they haven't seen the tweets yet? Or another miscommunication happened (like it seemed to have happened many times in the past lol).

Happy birthday!

Why did you block him/her?

Also, I didn't even know until now that we have supermods in kbin/lemmy. Lol.

You know what? I never even thought about that. I agree 100%. That's gonna be a tall order for companies, though. I mean, different people probably have different requirements to be comfortable.

Honestly, a much much higher salary. There are lots of things I'm going to have to deal with if I were to go back to the office; namely heavy traffic, transportation expenses, added stress, clothes (I mean, I'd have to use office-appropriate clothes whereas nowadays I have to be presentable only when I have meetings), food, waking up and preparing earlier than usual (sometimes up to 3 hours earlier!) and getting home late which gives me less free time, etc.

They're going to have to offer a really lucrative salary for me to even consider returning to the office.

I do have a few questions about that post/thread. 🤔

I would rather implement a way to export/import account data.

This is perfectly reasonable. I think a lot of users will be happy with this. Also, I agree with the view that lemmy isn't focused on individual users. We have X, Mastodon, etc. for that. Thanks for the response!

I see Empress is still subtle and classy as always.

First of all, I'd like to say thank you and that I appreciate your work. Lemmy is great and I've found a new home (at least for the foreseeable future). I first joined lemmy.ml once I learned about lemmy, and I have to say I had a good experience there. You guys even responded directly to my noob questions, and I honestly felt welcome which helped me decide to stay.

My questions are about account migration. As you may have already seen, I'm not with lemmy.ml anymore. The reason is I saw you guys stickied a post encouraging users to use different instances (since the server was having trouble with the influx of redditors at that time). I figured I'd help by first moving to a smaller instance. I have no regrets, although switching was a bit tricky since I had to start from scratch.

What are your thoughts on account migration? Is it in the works or is it something that's a little far into the future? No pressure since I know you guys are busy with other stuff.
