I now after many years of living understand most people don’t care or even want to understand how anything works. It completely baffles me.
Everyone I know says I’m smart but nah, I was literally in special Ed classes in school. I’m proven slower than the rest, but I am just curious and want to understand how things work which no one else does. It blows my mind how uninterested people are in the things they use everyday
Skyrim with the right mods
I always sort by new comments and it works pretty well. I see new post and post from 8 months ago that someone commented on. I’ve found a couple niche communities this way
Wait a minute, felons can run for president but can’t vote who to be president?
I used to love slide for reddit because I felt it did offline the best even tho it couldn’t up vote or comment
I hate reddit as a platform but I still have to use it every once in a while because people won’t move to Lemmy/mbin/piefed.
I honestly don’t understand it. People complain that they don’t use the fediverse because it’s small but somehow they don’t realize if they just migrate over then it won’t be.
It’s aggravating how dumb people can be but hey, that’s the world we’re living in. I’ll continue to use Lemmy and visit reddit if I have to.
I’m 22 and I feel the same way. 2012-2014 PC hardware was better and I do not care what anyone says. It’s probably the software that was better but damn nowadays my 6 core 12 threaded CPU feels so ass in any task compared to my old ass Pentium. I have 32 gigs of RAM and shit can still be slow and unresponsive. Games are poorly optimized because they just focus on making it pretty but it barely looks better. Best example is counter strike 2 vs CS:GO. I played csgo on integrated graphics then on a 1050ti game was always smooth and looked good. Now CS2 looks blurry even with taa off. Runs like shit and sure it looks better but not that much better for it to run how it does.
Edit: another example is vermintide 2. I upgraded my hardware since I played the 1st one but it runs way worse than the 1st one.
I used to customize my desktop like crazy with the dumbest 3D effects. I was on a Pentium using Ubuntu 14.04, integrated graphics. Now I can’t run discord and 3D effects without noticing the difference in performance.
Software is getting worse. Because it’s getting more and more complex. Now even basic things back then are rough to do now.
I don’t have proof or know enough to prove it but I can feel it.
Not sure how big the bullet was cause the gun didn’t go off.
Was in a rough neighborhood at night and my friend pulled up in his car really fast and yelled get in so I hopped in. He said the kids we were looking for, because they took our friends purse, we’re waiting at the corner for us to walk. around aiming a pistol right there.
Interesting… I’m very happy with the instance I’m on and with Lemmy but if I decide to self host I might set up piefed instead.
Pirate em. Then you don’t gotta sign up for anything
There’s a place you don’t?
Ooohhhhh! I actually didn’t see that. so they’re on webtoons under that name?
Does webtoon pay comic artists now? Or is that watermark there for no reason
Fuck gog. if I need a game to live forever I pirate.
Yeah swear. Gardening would be fine if all I cared about was dirt and weeds.
Fucking me the change you wanna see. Invite your friends to use the platform and post your own shit
Open app on phone and search them up.
Or go to the instance I use and search them up
Oh neat I didn’t know that.
I feel with mastodon it’s different because instances don’t host communities to subscribe to. Just people to follow
That’s fine but when people use technology every day, their phones, computers, ect… and not know what a web browser is that’s a whole different level of ignorance. Not just computing tho also cars. I barely know much about cars but I understand the idea of an engine, like you said it’s okay to know enough. If something breaks on my car I look it up on YouTube and learn a little more slowly. Some people tho will drive a car everyday for their entire life and not understand what a piston even is.
