Between basic storage being so much larger than it used to be (the 4-8GB days were brutal) and USB-C flash drives that can plug into your charging port, I seldom miss them these days
Still sucks that they removed them as an option though
Absolutely not, but I wouldn’t mind a primary
It’s not so much hiding as glazing over. The fact that anyone would argue that the civil war was about ‘states rights’ should tell you how poorly we recall our history
I’ll never forget reading a textbook in high-school that acknowledged the genocide of the Native Americans before quickly moving on to talk about how stately and wise the people who killed them were
It was due to their (our) open admission policy.
They wanted a more curated experience, and were concerned that our instances would be full of trolls and bots
They said they would reconsider the decision later
That makes no sense. You think it’s okay to deny service based on race?
Yeah, that’s the way to do it.
There’s a lot that’s pretty funny, but their narratives about being the last bastion of freedom and enlightenment always rubbed me the wrong way
Kind of like how subbreddits and circlejerks often go hand in hand. Or how people here like to talk about how it’s soooooo much better than reddit to the point that, no matter how you sort it, the front page is buried in posts saying the same thing
4chan is a great example of what places that consider free speech an indelible right will turn into
People who have the most vile and hostile opinions will flock there and push most of the reasonable people out
Talking to a band of brainwashed idiots who hide their hate behind a thin veneer pseudointellectualism gets old pretty fast and, as /pol/ likes to point out, those opinions color their view of reality and will seep into discussions of seemingly unrelated topics
Most of us don’t want to have to deconstruct some non-sensical ideology every time we make a statement. They think this means their opinions are some hidden truth that we can’t handle.
The reality is that we can prove them wrong, but they can’t or won’t accept it so we give up on them and go where there are more reasonable people to interact with

Agree and disagree. They put the cart before the horse on this one for sure. If we solve the problem of unaffordable education, then we can talk about forgiving the student loans of people who didn’t get to benefit from the new system
Just forgiving the student loans of a seemingly random block of people makes no sense. The next generation and more importly the universities will expect us to do the same thing later. Guess what that means?
Schools will raise their prices even more and kids will take on even more debt. We can’t just slap a bandaid on this and pat ourselves on the back
No gpu at all. It’s an old corporate server I recycled
My server has a hard time with x265, they constantly stutter when I try to play them through jellyfin
*crying soy wojak* Noooooooooooo
Anyone else really worried about the silent hill 2 remake?
My heart sank when I saw bloober team was making it. It’s not that they’re a terrible studio or anything, it’s just that their past works have lacked subtlety and complexity, two things you really need in a (good) silent hill game
I will drug and booze myself happy. Just because it’s never worked before doesn’t mean it won’t work this time
Please god, let us skip the rage comics this time
I see it as a good thing. I don’t really want my server full of kids or talked about in the media, and would likely question the motivations of anyone who did
I think beehaw is the only major group that actually defederated us, but that was before the drama
I get your concern, I was extremely worried my first time. It’s a lot easier than you might expect though
Still, it’s your money and your comfort. If it’s worth the extra money for a pre-built to save you peace of mind, by all means do as you will
After building a PC for the first time a few years ago, I’ll never buy a pre-built desktop again (low or high end)
The amount of corners they cut and terrible design decisions they make just so you can’t reuse the parts elsewhere are not only criminal from a consumer perspective, but an environmental one as well
I think you may be trivializing a pretty complex subject a bit too much
There is a major difference between our coloqual addictions (sugar, caffeine, our phones) and a substance use disorder. It’s worth talking about where on that spectrum marijuana lies
For my part, I suspect that marijuana is much closer to the former than the latter.
I’ve worked with a lot of people in recovery over the years, and while some ex-stoners will tell you how hard it was for them to quit, anyone with a real habit will tell you quitting weed isn’t anywhere near the same level as opiates, benzos, amphetamines, alcohol, or even nicotine
