BAGGER 288 BAGGER 288

I know someone who always has to say More like rage FOR the machine amiright? They went WOKE!! I just facepalm hard.

It’s like moving from r*** to lemmy. It feels fresh exciting and so far untainted by corpos. Plus people here/then we’re actually tech literate since computing didn’t care about the lowest common denominator like today. I’m baffled how many of my friends actually know nothing of technology but they use it every day all day… Thats what we loved about it i think.

If only we knew how good we had it!

I know it. And I think that’s fine. I can ignore the modern net for the most part and find communities like this!

It depends a lot on your hardware. All of my stuff was picked up instantly (all AMD), my kb/mouse/tartarus of course, and my Logitech wheel. Now if you mean VR, linux struggles with that right now at least for oculus. The vive is ok with steam only games I heard.

I treat it a lot like an old car. I love it and tinkering on it is fun, but if an emergency pops up and I have to, I can reboot into windows. Really trying to never have to do that, except for VR and games like PUBG (which yeah we shouldn’t support but my friends and I still like it sometimes).

If you’re the type that craves learning and the journey is more fun than the goal (ie, me), then do it! I just put mint and popos on 3 different computers and have been having a lot of fun with it.

Still have em! They’ll be the last source of actual knowledge once the AI slop destroys us.

Isn’t it fun? It’s like owning your car and learning what everything actually does, and figuring out how to fix it. And having an amazing community to boot!. I enjoy it.

People use chat gpt to tell them what to buy. We are doomed. Our brains are about to shrink to the size of a pea in 10 years. All is going to plan for the elite.

You can do both of those in linux now I believe.

Thank you all so much for your help, here is my output of systemd:

It must be something weird with my initial boot. I am dual booting, but on separate hard drives. My PC does have 6 hard drives in it however. Or, maybe something is messed up in my install?

This is so cool. I don’t know how yall know all this stuff but thanks for sharing ! My startup is 1 min 21 seconds. I know it should be more like 20 seconds

Another reason corps lobbied for digital and killed off analog as much as they could: easier to control and charge money. Once I own a tape/reel/record, I OWN it, you cannot take it from me without physically taking it. Stop using online digital media for stuff you actually care about.

I am pretty sure this is anyone, not really ADHD specific. More like a “makes me feel good to buy something” specific. Which is many many people.

Checks and balances, and money… people won’t buy your product if it’s malware…unless you make them a captive audience (win11, tencent).

We have off grid days on the weekend. I love it. I’d do it more if work didn’t require it or I didn’t have people who call me for help with things.

I actually enjoy talking with others on here. My worldview has expanded because of it.

Agreed. It’s a car. I have an entertainment system at home and great speakers for listening. Cars suck for actual listening quality anyways.

100% in agreement with all your points. Simplicity and modular! Look how well the original mustang did, because you could actually get what you wanted. That has disappeared completely now
