I started using Linux in a time when package management was barely usable, and I had a broken distro as a first distro. Too often I was chasing down answers all over the internet when there were few to share, and the diy aspect of arch is rather nostalgic for me.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is it often cheaper to buy new than repair old and how can repairing be encouraged on different levels of society?
3·4 个月前I can’t speak for everything, but I can speak for e-waste. Especially printers. Those things are made cheap as hell, but constructed so you can’t just get off the shelf parts. Being able to take the machine apart, find a replacement for whatever party is broken, install, and reassemble, you might have just bought a new printer for the same cost as the part. It’s almost the same with laptops, phones/tablets, televisions, etc. Brand doesn’t matter, it’s all the same. Right to repair doesn’t mean shit if you can’t even make the repairs.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else kind of disgusted at the waste created by going out to eat?
3·5 个月前If you think what you have to throw out as the consumer is wasteful, take a look in the kitchens of these places and tell me that it’s any better. Most foods that have to be prepped in advance must be separated by single-use parchment/wax paper, then wrapped in plastic. When ready to use, use a glove for a few uses to take the prepped food out of the wrap, remove the paper separating it all, and chuck it out. It could have been prepped a week ago, or only two hours ago for fresh use, you still throw out all this paper and plastic wrapping. And then the cleaning, there is an inexcusable amount of paper towel used for various purposes, from drying your hands to wiping a counter/table, etc. And it’s all thrown out. Some restaurants will use towels and kitchen rags, but then you have so many to wash and clean, it’s usually done by a third-party service that has to drive to pick it all up, drive to a central laundry stop, do the laundry, and then drive it all back to get done again. And if you are in a place that has a washing machine in-house, it’s a drop in the bucket in solving real waste issues.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work?
2·6 个月前Isn’t that what SheRa used? Magic was an energy to be harnessed by the technology.

memes@lemmy.world•I should probably clean out that decade's worth of bookmarks at some point...
8·6 个月前Pinterest. My boards are full of diy project ideas and recipes that I will never look at again, but I keep clicking and saving.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you that have negative sentiments towards AI: What would you want to happen right now?
14·6 个月前I want disclosure. I want a tag or watermark to let people know that AI was used. I want to see these companies pay dues for the content used in the similar vein that we have to pay for higher learning. And we need to stop calling it AI as well.
I figured they could have done two more seasons with everything that was jammed into those three mini-movies. Could you imagine how funny it would have been to see the witches in human school? Dealing with everything that is boring and getting a detention only to discover it’s just sitting on your ass?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why don't communist movements focus on creating and nurturing employee owned businesses?
123·6 个月前The more we get, the better it becomes. Trying to just change the whole system at once is just an excuse for not making the small changes that move the needle.
Time to listen to the Boss.

News@lemmy.world•New Bill Would Make All Pornography a Federal Crime in the U.S.
431·6 个月前My question is what defines pornography? Will museums have to cloak statues of naked people? Remove a renaissance era painting because of boobs? How about a movie that has tasteful nudity? Or just ads for Victoria Secret?
I wished to be a young man surrounded by cheap pussy. Now I’m ten and have thirty stray cats.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is the NFL draft day so "special"?
3·7 个月前It matters to sponsors. Big companies pay money to have their name slapped on everything, and then huge amount of marketing to ensure the max audience size means many more eyes in the sponsors crap. The NFL makes a killing on these sponsored events, so they will drive up the engagement wherever they are. And since sports matter to many Americans, this needs to REALLY SUPER matter.
I agree, who cares about teams picking players except for the players?
I am asking this more out of curiosity than criticism, but how would you deal with someone who is emotionally unavailable, shows signs of childhood abuse, but treats you pretty fairly?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?
8·7 个月前I didn’t even think they got the humor right. Watching episodes without the laugh track shoes the jokes are just a group of bullies being bullies to each other.
I had the same issue with Red Hat 6.1 on a cheap PC. One of the reasons I love using Arch is it gives me the nostral of those days.
