Reddit users who switched to Lemmy, what is the most annoying thing you have seen about Lemmy users?
  • I’m starting to realize this also. At first, Lemmy seemed great with conversations, but it’s starting to shift waaay too far left and I’m a liberal myself.

    Honestly considering going back to Reddit… just sucks because the only mobile option is their shitty app.

  • That's great! I'm glad you found something that works for you. Like I said, my laptop is running Linux (Arch btw) and I've had fun learning a new OS and I do enjoy the lack of bloatware.

    I guess what I meant to say is that people act like windows is unusable, as in, they can't figure out how to use the OS like it's something very complex.

  • I couldn't help but look at your post history, and I see that you're against Russia invading Ukraine. Well our same politicians that are feeding us shit slop are the same ones that are sending billions of dollars to Ukraine in aid and supplies to help Ukraine win this war.

    Again the U.S. isn't perfect, but people always seem to have to find a way to make it sound like it's the worst country in the world when in reality it's not.

    I've lived in a couple of different countries myself and speaking with the natives there, I would hear so many things they considered that was bad about their country and government, and how they would love to live in the U.S. I was always confused about this because I hear so much negativity about the U.S. online but in reality it seems quite the opposite.

  • I was taught American exceptionalism and said the national anthem every school day of my childhood, K-12.

    I was too and did the same, but I was taught to break away from the mold and usual thinking as a young adult pretty early on (thank you parents and to some of my teachers). I'm sorry to hear that those people in your life lied to you and never thought to help you break out of that mold.

    The states is so vast that what you're saying doesn't always apply to another person. It's funny because you mention being born in Seattle and growing up in LA. Well I was born in Georgia and most people would have you believe living in the south is shit (which to be fair, some places are), but I can say my life experience has been completely different than yours.

    As I mentioned before the states has its problems for sure but it's not all bad and your experience can vastly differ from another.

    • The amount of people that like to shit on the U.S. constantly... Like damn I get it, we definitely have problems, but people here would have you think it's like the wild wild west over here... I promise I'm not fearing for my life every time I go out.

    • The extreme left views (I'm liberal myself but some of the things people say here really have me scratching my head sometimes)

    • The amount of Windows bad, Linux good posts.

    • The amount of people that immediately shit on Apple because of privacy, but use an Android device that accesses the Google Play store (yes I know you can install custom privacy roms, but let's be real, how many casual users are doing this?)

    • People always asking if something is FOSS...

    These are just a few off the top of my head.

  • NSFW

  • It’s like I get the point of this war but at the same time it’s just something about the music playing in the background like it’s some kind of call of duty montage that makes me feel uneasy about it.

    I was in the military too and there are often times where I didn’t agree with certain things but it’s part of the mission.

    Idk, it’s just sad and unfortunate all around.

    These people have friends and family that I’m sure care about them..

  • Bookmarks

    Sorry if this is posted already, but will we be able to view bookmarks soon and also be able to save posts?

    This is quickly becoming my favorite Lemmy app on iOS and it’s really smooth on the iOS 17 beta!

    Already planning for how to survive in jail
  • Hey man, you do you. Who am I to stop you?

    I just want to put it out there that even though I get your intent, it’s not necessarily something that will be taken without criticism. I’d rather people not get in trouble for stealing, no matter if you think it’s justified or not.

    For people that are in need of food assistance and located in the U.S. you can visit here https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/state-directory and select the state you’re living in. That should get you started in receiving food assistance and necessities from the government.

  • Already planning for how to survive in jail
  • All jokes aside.

    Please people, do not actually steal from these stores. This is the quickest way to get arrested and end up with a criminal record.

    The prosecutor is not going to give a damn what your reasons were for stealing so please keep that in mind.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
  • Oh I've actually been told by fat people that there's no way that I actually enjoy working out and that I'm forcing myself to go to the gym while not enjoying it.

    Guess it's weird I like improving my physique and enjoying seeing how I can reach new goals ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Swipe sensitivity?

    Hi all,

    I just switched over to Android and I'm enjoying the connect app so far!

    I did have a question about the swipe sensitivity though. When I swipe to upvote a comment I constantly keep swiping too far and end up saving the comment instead.

    I checked through the settings, but unless I'm missing something, it doesn't seem there's a way to slow down the swipe feature.

    Edit: In case it helps, I'm using a OnePlus 9.

    This is a picture I took when I was on vacation in Japan of Hōkan-ji Temple in Kyoto.

    I miss it already and I'm ready to go back!

    Best Laptop for Linux

    Hello all,

    I'm in the market for buying a new laptop to install Linux on. I'm trying to stay with something relatively cheap (Around $300 and below). I'm getting ready to start a degree program in cyber security and did some research, and it seems Kali Linux would be the best distro for me to install.

    I would install it on my current computer, but I only have a 2015 MacBook Pro, and I've read that a few people run into some issues installing on a Mac compared to a regular PC.

    With the above in mind, do I need to increase my budget or does Linux run fine on low-end laptops?

    Thanks!

    No shade to the other app developers! Just have grown accustomed to seeing these Memmy updates constantly!

    Takke mascot

    Takke is the official mascot of Fussa, Japan. Fussa is located in the Tokyo prefecture, and is known for the US Air Force base. Very quiet place and a lot of Japanese tend to stay here to move away from some of the more busier areas of Tokyo.
