this is what people should expect.

maybe because you’re needlessly adding fuel to the culture war fire by focusing on men only.

intimidation; both for foreigners and “unpatriotic” americans.

don’t they still ask you for a name?

the hardware companies i worked at that created & tested their products on linux, but refused to support linux had engineers that mostly didn’t care one way or the other; they only cared about getting paid.

it makes me wonder why they don’t just use slightly older gpu’s ; there are so many out there.

you can only get it from your device and it creates a nasty catch22; you can only know if your device is supported if your already have the device.

i’ve been meaning to get into rust; but i’m learning that i lack motivation if it’s not part of my job and becoming a sysadmin again doesn’t require it.

good to know; i moved away 15 years ago and just assumed smartphones had made everyone’s public awareness take a nose dive.

that’s literally the excuse that the democrat used this last time too. lol

the redditors dominated all of lemmy’s popular communities (especially asklemmy) and i recommended a different instance so you can see the unpopular communities that don’t include their toxicity.

if you’re more toxic then them, then you might want to stay where you are.

as a non-american you can be forgiven for not knowing that democrats have been doing this for the last half century.

there are technically several parties, but effectively only 2; republicans (like trump) and democrats. every time that there has been a political impass between the two parties for the last 50 years, the democrats have ignored their voters like this and sided with the republicans.

and the outside temperature as well. lol

so you have to wrap everything in a try/catch?

on my first day of living in new york; i was carrying my worldly possessions in a trio of jumbo suitcases and i was having difficulty carrying them up the subway stairs to the street and blocking the path for everyone else. two people – wordlessly and zero eye contact – each took a suitcase out of my hand and carried it up to the top of the stairs, dropped them off where i can resume rolling them and walked away.

not a single “let me help you” or “do you need some help?”; they saw the situation and decided that helping me would help everyone else and simply did it.

this was before smartphones became a thing so i doubt that this could still happen because people’s faces are too buried in screens to notice others anymore.

long live the wolf!

you’re on one of the instances that took in the most fleeing redditors and they brought their petty & hateful toxicity with them; i strongly recommend changing instances if you want to get away from most of it.

It’s whether or not it gets a signal
