Oh dang, that’s $32 AUD! Bit out of my price range!

Have you ever tried listening to hardcore history by Dan Carlin? I find he’s the right level of captivating to keep me interested, but slow enough that I can still drift off to sleep

My suggestion is to spend maybe half an hour in the evening learninga new hobby/skill, then when you’re in bed go over what you learnt in that half hour in your mind to cement it. You’ll find that just running over the knowledge in your mind induces the “counting sheep” effect and will help you drift off to sleep.

If it doesn’t work, then at least you’ll learn a new skill much quicker!

Frugal Usenet works great for me

And carpel in the middle there

They don’t have to tell you the truth. It could have been to test whether being told that it’s “men vs women” affects the readings test subjects provide

I’ll take her, it’s freezing cold where I live now

I agree that the pile-on wasn’t necessary, people tend to just give their kneejerk response and then move on. Having said that, you probably could have explained your case a bit better too in the original post.

Food is a non-toxic, organic substance that provides nutrition in the form of carbohydrates, protein, fibre, fats/oils, and/or vitamins and minerals. Sure there are some edge cases which you can argue the point in, such as a lump of rock salt maybe, but for the most part it is something which provides sustenance. Sure you could eat mud or plaster and it won’t kill you, but it won’t help keep you alive either, so its not food.

I’m with you bro, although we don’t need to mine the moon or asteroids, the tunnels can be airtight enough with reinforced concrete. They’ve already made multiple sustainable concrete formulas, and I think 150 years is plenty of time to assume these will be mass adopted. If fusion has becomea thing and we have an abundance of energy then the costs of such an enormous project will also become more feasible.

Worth a shot, you can always dual boot to try it out to start with 🙂

I don’t know your use case, but I’m less skilled with computers than you (I’m currently trying to build my first ever home server as a hobby) and i can use it easy.

I used i3 for a couple of years, but I missed the ease of having a DE that just recognised USB sticks and external hard drives, and all the other little things that you have to set up manually

Nobody is talking about marxists or leftists here, tankies are a breed of their own

Do it bro, I switched 5 years ago after being too fed up with windows, and I’ve never looked back

I used wind scribe for a few years for torrenting on my phone andpc and never had any trouble. Once I forgot to turn on the vpn while downloading a movie on my phone at work (using the companywifi 🤦) and got an email from IT saying they’d gotten a warning and not to do it again 🤣😬

They do have a firewall option to prevent scenarios like that

Maybe you should read the manual on how to reply to a Lemmy comment

Preach!

Yes exactly! Linux has its pitfalls, but the pitfalls of Linux are far more tolerable for me than the shortcomings of windows.

Macs I can’t speak for because I’ve never tried, but they seem overpriced
