I hate listening to my younger brother talk about technology. He is just a sheep in an apple pen, and perfectly happy. I don’t get it.

Lol they denied my application. Nice.
Edit: it was my own carelessness. Damn.
Having trouble verifying my email. Gonna see if it works without VPN.
Now you’ve really piqued my interest. This may be the winner.
That’s my next stop after this contract runs out.
balancedchaos@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?131·1 year agoYeah, it was ready for my old AMD machine. My new Nvidia box…nah.
But since I’ve switched to XFCE, I don’t need to worry so much about new-fangled things like Wayland…for now.
I appreciate that.
balancedchaos@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump eyes Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential VP pick2·1 year agoIt is a narcissistic childish presupposition that there is assumed opportunity cost for my vote.
“Of COURSE you would have voted Democrat! Why WOULDN’T you?”
I make a fair bit of money. Like them or not, Republicans are kinder to my income level.
Don’t just assume I’d vote Democrat.
World seems to be blocking NordVPN. Recommend another instance?
World and NordVPN. Recommend another instance?
balancedchaos@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump eyes Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential VP pick2·1 year agoHow much lag are we talking here?
I just found out that Lemmy is not allowing (or has rate-limited, or whatever) VPN connections to post or react.
Not a fan of that at all.
Edit: it’s my instance being on Cloudflare, not Lemmy as a whole. My mistake.
balancedchaos@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Users shocked to find Instagram limits political content by defaultEnglish142·1 year agoGood. Internet people are awful at political discussions.
balancedchaos@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump eyes Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential VP pick22·1 year agoI mean, in Biden we’re talking about a political power broker who was invited to be the VP even after he referred to Obama as “articulate and bright and clean.” That’s…WILD that that was publicly said about a black man in my lifetime.
And the Israel support, and smelling kids’ hair, and the epic Popcorn the bully story, and the black kids rubbing his leg hair story…like…grandpa ain’t making too much sense sometimes these days.
And then the other side produces a narcissist with a clear personality disorder who isn’t doing that well cognitively himself…these are our best and brightest, huh? Wow.
And this argument that a vote for a third party is essentially a vote for Trump…it’s not, and I don’t know when we made politics into a team sport, but it feels kind of weird to me.
Whichever family of weirdos gets in, they’re gonna make a whole bunch of money in legally gray ways, and it ain’t gonna enrich you a single penny. So you can put down the foam finger and stop cheering for your “side.”
balancedchaos@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump eyes Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential VP pick21·1 year agoThe lack of nuance here has been a little shocking. I had hope that was just a Reddit thing, but it may just be an Internet thing. I have no idea.
I’m not ever going to vote for Trump, because he’s terrible. And I’m not ever going to vote for Biden, because he may be less terrible, but he’s still terrible.
I may one day vote Dem or Rep again, if either of those parties ever pulls their heads from their asses and produces a quality candidate.
Until then, I’m voting third party. If you can’t produce quality, I’ll find it elsewhere.
balancedchaos@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump eyes Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential VP pick13·1 year agoThis. Thank you.
It’s obvious to see which way the wind blows around here, but the unpopular truth has to be spoken.
balancedchaos@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump eyes Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential VP pick2·1 year agoAlso still there. ;)
balancedchaos@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump eyes Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential VP pick21·1 year agoI still see them. :)
balancedchaos@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump eyes Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential VP pick31·1 year agoSo I’m a fool, but…okay, got it.
I work in logistics. I’ve always had a fascination with tech, and was leery of all these neato things on offer from big tech, from social media to the cloud.
Found out I could self-host, and got to learning.
