Alcohol. Last drink was 42 days ago. I was getting very drunk every day for years. I feel pretty good right now, getting therapy to work through the issues that I was self-medicating. Also making some big positive changes.

I guess it's too early to say with confidence that I "kicked" it, but I haven't gone this long without a drink for a very long time and I'm determined to never touch alcohol again.

I think he's correct and there's a ton of cope going on on lemmy right now. I also think tons of art/graphic design jobs will disappear never to return.

Wow, I'll be switching from Firefox to Task Manager!

They should just copy the Plasma System Settings app.

200M barely gets you a penthouse at in this monstrosity. That's peanuts.

Also also: since you’re already down with KDE, check out kinoite (atomic F40 KDE). Atomic distros are awesome :)

And check out Aurora! It's basically Kinoite with a lot of nice tweaks and inclusions. Aurora-dx is especially nice if you do dev stuff. I've been really happy with it.

If forced to characterize the attitude of lemmy towards LLM/"AI," I'd say people here are broadly interested in the tech but critical of the way it's often used.

You know, they could be. But I agree right now they aren't.

Personally, I don't think it matters in this case. It's not like we had a robust primary from the Dems this time around.

I wonder if any Lemmy servers run on Windows without WSL. I can't think of any hard dependencies on Linux, so it should be possible.

I don't think things would just calm down if Trump got ventilated. Probably the opposite.

[–] bilb@lem.monster 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I don't see why I should care about that. Gimme some crazy graphical effects, particles and shaders!

I'm not sure what your point is. Even people voting for Biden because Fuck Trump have reasons to be concerned about the current/next president having pudding brains. Assuming Trump loses, once the election is over that's still going to be a pressing issue.
