I'm 41.

For a moment I thought you were headed inthe direction of LGBTQ rebranding "All Lives Matter".

Like some hateful biggot is chanting "DOWN WITH QUEERS" and then the Pride Parade marches in, and starts supporting them. And the hate parade tries to resist, and then the Pride people start saying they love everybody, and ALL lives matter. And then the hateful side says "WAIT! NO! THATS OURS, AND IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT!" And then the Pride people say "Too late! We've rebranded it now! We love you, baby!" And the hateful people are just confused like "what.....what just happened??"

I'm hetero, but I'm also happily child free.

But also I wouldn't attend this event. If people want to be gay, be gay. If people want to be christian, be christian. If people want to be a dinosaur, be a dinosaur.

I don't give a fuck what other people do. As long as they're respectful to everybody, and don't hurt anybody, that's cool. You be you.

Except for Andy Dick, whose last name is apt.

That should be on a flyer, but it should have an attention grabbing shape. Like maybe a bicept.

I'm not sure peertube HAS thousands of viewers

It's not about adoption. It's about money.

Superfamousguy (a youtube user I just ficticiously created to represent every single big name youtuber) doesn't make videos in their room talking about whatever, and uploads whenever.

These guys have a strict schedule. They need to shoot today. Edit tonight, upload tomorrow exactly at 11am. Because their users are conditioned to expect those videos at those times. So they get sponsored, and now advertisers are promised an average viewcount on the dominant video platform at a certain time. They're paying superfamousguy money for those promises.

It's not a hobby, it's a job. And advertisers are not going to be willing to touch peertube because it's handled by so many fragmented cases that it's impossible for peertube to have the stability of youtube.

So, I'm not saying peertube can't grow. I'm just saying its decentralized nature will scare most advertisers away. Without the advertisers, superfamousguy can't make a living. And at that point it doesn't matter if peertube has twice as many viewers as youtube. Without money, these professionals cant fund their crew, they can't make videos, and thus stick to youtube.

We're importing the french, en masse, but we're NOT getting tips on cheeses and breads?

What are we even DOING here???

Oh, damn. I misunderstood the question. I thought you meant stationary window blinds that acted as solar panels.

Which, come on. How is that NOT a thing yet???

Did she change her mind? Kind of looked like she was hanging on for dear life, and then willingly climbed back up with help, rather than resisting it.

Holy shit! Clearing just the cache worked! Now it's back to normal!!!

Here's the weird thing. It doesn't matter if I'm logged out or logged in. It's not all of lemmy. It seems to be JUST lemmy.world.

I don't have a lemm.ee account, but that one works fine. Whereas lemmy.world, even logged out is still a mess.

Now for the other weird bit. If I enable secret mode, the website works fine.

I'm thinking of downloading a new browser and seeing if that changes things.

I've literally heard for 15-20 years now that "This is the year of linux! It's so much easier and better than windows!"

My response has been that if Linux ever had an interface that's intuitive, and non-techies can take to instantly, Linux would actually grow. Their reply each time is that "Linux is getting more popular by the day!". And that's true. However, it's a bit misleading. About a year ago I read that Linux was at the highest usage it's ever had, at roughly 5% of the market.

Think about that. Linux has been around in some form since 1991, and it's always been free (with a few exceptions). A free platform can't compete against Apple, who's notorious for being ungodly expensive, and Windows, who's known for being costly in it's own right, and also terribly optimized. Still running certain code in the background since windows 95. Yet Linux, as of a year ago cracked an all time high of 5%. Which may as well be a rounding error.

The ONLY reason I use linux as my daily driver, is because my other daily driver, which I haven't booted in a few months, is Windows 7. And I'm not even worried about the security issues. It's just gotten sluggish, and less and less things work on it over time. It's easier to just use linux, as I mostly just use it as a means to open a browser anyways. My desktop looks more like Windows XP than linux. It just doesn't act like Windows XP.

That's what we need. A Linux distro that functions exactly like a modern day Windows XP. I think Windows XP couldn't handle hard drives with more than 4TB. So, obviously that's something a modern OS would fix. But the idea of just clicking .exe files, and installing them like on windows? That works for me. All the stuff Linux users hate about windows? If it were optimized and modernized, I'd take that over traditional Linux experiences.

But I will never use Windows 10 or especially 11. Fuck that.

As a mod of Fuck AI, I agree.

By that definition, linux is doing something wrong. Despite it being my daily driver, I have zero clue how it works, or how to do anything.

100x worse if the word "terminal" is used.

To be fair, it IS a much better shave having 5 blades. I don't even use shaving cream or anything. I just raw dog my face with razors, and it comes out super smooth.

I used to raw dog my face decades ago with single razors. Took forever, and I'd bleed.

It makes me sad that you're talking about our president, and you aren't wrong.

When I was a kid, I remember the standard was that if you were really good in school, got perfect grades, and worked hard to achieve your goals you might have a chance to be president one day.

Then W Bush became president. Suddenly mothers had no leg to stand on saying you need to be smart. It's like that old Tennessee saying, I know it's it in Texas, probably in Tennessee too, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...shame on....uh.....shame......can't get fooled again!

And just like that, idiots can be president. Everybody thought the presidency reached the floor, and it couldn't get any lower.

Ah, innocent times.....

We had had no idea that bedrock was the goal. Now you don't even need to be a decent person to be president. We have those close to trump saying things like "empathy is a weakness". And once again, it feels like the presidency can't sink any lower. But we've felt that way before, so I'm afraid to think that way again. As they will continue to amaze and astound us with new innovative ways to descend our nation into dizzying new lows.

Honestly at this point, I'm 50/50 on the fence on whether or not total destruction is the plan, or if literally nobody has any idea what the plan is.

Maybe they only have concepts of a plan.

It's the bible belt. Those people don't think with their brains. Actually, they sometimes don't think at all. Welcome to America! Where we tore down a beautiful land, full of lush trees, running rivers, breathtaking mountains, and sprawling deserts, in exchange for strip malls, churches, dry ravines, mountains of garbage (both figuratively and literally), and casinos.

You're seeking morality from a nation who twice elected an open racist. Your expectations of this country are too high. We are trash. And I won't change my opinion until society does better.

Damn. So it's a me problem.

sigh

I've donated my upvote to you good sir/ma'am/however you identify.

Wishful thinking says he'll get the best lawyer money can buy. Reality says that the internet just paid a lawyer very well for Luigi to still spend the rest of his life behind bars.
