  • OP’s experience is a bit of a microcosm of it. I have a lot of fun learning my way around Linux, but feel a lot of pressure when I need to do something specific that I’m having trouble with. So I’m having lots of fun running it on my server or my steam deck, stuff I consider a hobby, but a bit uncertain about moving to Linux for a daily driver, where I might have to get work done.

    I am running Mint, which I’m understanding is a lot more user-friendly than OP’s distro. And to be honest, 90% of the user experience is the same as on Windows with Mint. I just feel like I need to understand more about Linux, it’s file system, and all of its very technical quirks before my main PC makes the switch.





  • I’m surprised this hasn’t come up before already. I’m generally on the boat of ‘no loli posting’ outright. It’s a messy moralistic debate that I haven’t seen sufficiently settled yet, but most people don’t want to chance across sexualized underage girls/discussions of it and no one wants to get into a debate about it. One side is inevitably called pedophiles for engaging in it and the other side can justifiably become extremely heated.

    Most well adjusted communities with cultures you want to spend time in outright ban the discussion. Avoid the mess all together. There’s not many ways to slice ‘sexualizing underage girls’ without pulling up a rotten slice.


  • One of the best jobs I’ve ever had was a trolley collector. It was a company contracted to work for the chain stores, so I didn’t work for the stores I collected carts for.

    I’d show up, do about 45 minutes of exercise hauling the carts around, then I’d sit in my car and play on my phone or read a book. Or, hell, even just leave. I’d have 6 hour shifts but trust me when I say the trolleys don’t need 6 hours of supervision. I’d often get away with one collection in the morning, coming back for a collection in the afternoon, then peace out.

    Anyway, best of luck with your new job comrade, I hope the freedom makes the lack of decent pay worthwhile. It definitely did for me.


  • pan leftism pisses me off. defanged theory, feel-good nonsense that doesn’t equal a legible ideology. Also preys on the dumbed down simplistic single axis of political thought. I don’t know how they expect communists and anarchists to work together, or communists and soc-dems, or communists and anyone other than marxists. Then again, I’m guessing that’s the point - to legitimize every single flare of leftist thought other than the one with actual material history behind it
