I was excited when I bought an Amiga 500, and ever since then the main thing I noticed is that the EXCITEMENT of getting a computer was always over-ruled by my ability to exploit it's powers and use it.

So my perspective is that all computers and operating systems SUCK. But some suck less than others...

So using Manjaro KDE, it sucks less because it's very simple and easy for me to install whatever I like - having AUR available, being able to search with pamac to include repos, AUR and Flatpak (even snap if I was that desperate).

KDE also gives you super powers to ~~fuck up~~ modify your desktop experience and shortcuts.

It's been good to me for 6 years now. After going Ubuntu>Mint I was excited to leave Debian and try something else, I never made it to the Redhat camp (always interested to try Fedora) and hopefully will never feel the need.

So yes, what I like MOST is - it mostly just works. And when it fails, the forum is awesome.

That's very negative, however I must concur that it's a fact the correlative conjunctions were incorrectly placed to negate the possibilities.

Whether that fact is true or not is up to you.

up/down voting is simply a way to help comments you think are good, or agree with, become more/less dominant in the thread.

In some cases, comments are useful to explain why - but often that's just not the case.

It doesn't say much...

  • It reminds us that Reddit never gave a toss.

  • It reminds you that, through the Reddit lens, your value is about zero.

Fireworks are brilliant. I think you live somewhere with cultural issues... people reserve the right to party and annoy everyone else...

They have their time and place - and 2am sounds more like problms with arseholes, not Fireworks.

They should be banned after 9pm (except for New Year - extend until 00:20 for that).

I've been witness to some amazing displays that bring tears to my eyes they were so awesome. The most memorable being ones that I'm close enough to feel the pressure wave, a truly trouser flapping experience.

I think 'soul' is not something which exists in itself - it is the idea of the essence of a thing, the thing which causes an individual life.

So theories go around that there are spiritual beings separate from the physical (debatable) and I personally think that it extends to all life, such that trees can have awareness which can also extend beyond their physical bodies.

As such, they obviously exist - but their exact definition and nature is quite hard to grasp. I don't think they can survive physical death.

Swastika/fasist tattoos and memorabilia are often simply anti-authority expression and not really fascist ideology (as witnessed recently with ex-cons, UKR and Russian soldiers being caught out and branded as being 'Nazi' or 'fascist').

'true fact'.

  • Facts cannot be anything except for true.
  • Anyone who uses the two words 'true fact' together cannot be trusted because they know neither the meaning of the word 'true' or the word 'fact'.

Haha I cannot say for sure. I certainly started to duplicate my credentials... so now I'm more likely to be logged in as BendyLemmy.

So initially it was Lemmy.ml (which wasn't working too well) and it got annoying that I wasn't logged in when opening links - so BeeHaw, Lemmy.world, https://fosstodon.org/ is BendyToy,...

One thing I'm finding useful now in Bitwarden is that I can autofill and copy (so just refresh for a new password) to get the same username for each one... but it's kind of getting out of hand.

It's a little frustrated that we can't use a kind of centralised profile - like the way an 'opendesktop' account can be used to log in to various instances of websites. If I log in the Opendesktop website, and then go to Mastodon, I find my Opendesktop account gets logged in there - so there's more fragmentation.

Overal it is just very confusing.

I can't see this post, I am just replying to let you know that.

Don't ever join the infantry, I imagine you in camouflage approaching the enemy - and you stand up and shout "Please, I need to stay hidden - so let me know if you can see me so that I can hide more effectively".
