Good for you! 😃👍

No i didn’t mean it like that, i’m sorry. It’s more of a reaction to the general vibe i get off lemmy while im in a period of trying to debug by brain. I probably misread what you actually meant. Most of lemmy is just frustrated and sad about things we have little control over. It’s more the general thread reminding me of healthy ways of thinking vs the rest of lemmy. your comment just happened to be where i was thinking out loud. sorry ><

maybe, but i see quite a few similar reactions in this thread that make me wanna leave this place. its just slowly starting to sink in for me that lemmy is a lefty echo chamber and its basically the same 20 posts rehashed every week by people with worldviews like this. how tf can anyone expect to change anything without hope. Idk man, im just dumping my thoughts but i think im gonna get the hell off this platform and anything similar because it’s not having a positive effect on me.

Do you think society would get to the point it is if everyone just wanted more power for selfish reasons? I think it’s more to do with the feeling of fulfillment that comes with responsabilities. Helping people feels good, even when you get nothing in return. Unless you expect something in return, then we’re playing a different game. But your outlook on life seems pretty bleak my friend.

Not the onion?

You may call me Computer God. Or God for short if i deem it acceptable.

Yes yes, i oversimplfied it for the sake of explaining to someone who doesnt know linux. I’m talking about having to figure out specific parameters that may or may not work on some hardware but not on others. I had this issue with 2 of 4 games i tried in 2021. Eventually i did get both games to work but with weird glitches.

I dont think debian is the issue, but nvidia and it’s wonky ass linux drivers. my 12 button mouse is also useless in linux. maybe it’s better by now. last time i tried i had issues with wayland. though i heard big update for fedora was coming for wayland in may (?) 2024, so i might try again then.

The biggest thing that always gets in my way is no Visual Studio IDE support. yes, theres other IDEs, i’ve tried them all with various levels of wonk to the point i end up jus not being able productive with c# or be even less productive in other languages.

Same with photoshop or video editing sofware. Sure, you got gimp and kedit, but theyre just not as good and have weird issues.

Hmm, well i can’t really speak to any of that. But for the greater good, unions are a good thing. I understand that it makes difficult for you though.

I’d throw the obvious stuff at you like, but it’s kinda hard to get an idea of what could possibly help without knowing you.

I do know that i’ve had to change my attitude a few times in life to get by though, i don’t think autism should be used as an excuse to not have to do the hard thing everyone has to do (but is harder for us).

Right now, the only advice i can give is to try to channel that resentment into motivation to improve yourself. Trying and failing is so much more valuable than just giving up and being angry about it.

But yeah, i do have it easier than most so maybe it’s not my place to say things like that. I do wish you the best though.

I do feel the same way about things being easier alone though. i would be much happier and productive doing my own thing, I have a ton of software projects i work on, somd even make a bit of money, but running business seems scary since my administration skills are shit and customers are acary.

That’s how i got sold on it too. My CSS skills aren’t great, tailwind made it just slightly harder to deal with CSS i feel. Seems healthier to learn actual CSS instead of abstracting it away if the benefit is that low in the best of cases. Sure, large projects are a thing, but nobody puts a whole project in 1 css file anymore anyway, so what does it matter at that point.

It depends what you want it to do. For basic stuff, linux desktop works fine. If you need specific software i’d look into if it’s doable and how hard it is first.

Linux by default runs fine and without issues, if you pick a distro with stable releases. If you go with something like Arch, you likely will run into issues. If you want to do heavy modifications or run fancy software, you tend to run into issues. Thing about the fancy software is, it tenda to only work properly on linux, hence the issues being linux related.

If you’re a gamer, just don’t. A lot of people here will say you can run almost any game easily, but you usually need to do some fancy commands per specific game to get it to run properly. Which is fine if you just play one game occasionally, but if you hop between games or like buying the latest games, don’t.

If you have a specific preference for desktop environment, make sure it comes with the distro and is well supported by it. You can install whatever you want on any distro, but you have more chance to break shit.

I’d go with Mint or Ubuntu for your first try.

There’s a certain amount of fundamentals you need, after that point it’s quite easy to hop languages by just looking over the documentation of that language. If you skip those fundamentals, you end up with a bunch of knowledge but don’t realize you could do things way more effectively.

My recommendation: check out free resources for beginners and skip the atuff you already know thoroughly, focusing only on the stuff you don’t know.

Anecdotal but i know i am way more productive when there has been or will be a holiday, for two weeks. I also noticed i feel a lot less drained working 38 hour jobs than 40 hour job, and generally do less at the 40 hour job. So i find it easy to believe this adds up. For an employer it’s hard to see this of course, they just see the raw output of the one thing they’ve been doing.

Hopelessness is about the worst thing for an individual psychologically.

I wonder how fox news spins this? Maybe commies want more free stuff from money we dont have i suppose. or maybe they just ignore it

Let’s make a point that has nothing whatsoever to do with the original point so i can maintain my bullshit opinion.

Have you tried working for a small-mid size company? I got the same vibe in big companies, now im in a company of 50 people and they just do not care how weird i am, no middle managers trying to justify their existence, as long as you’re doing your best you’re good. Like i’m sure that doesnt apply to all small companies, but i’d certainly keep it in mind for the future

Hmm, how very 1984

Tailwind feels like CSS i have to re-learn. It’s maybe slightly easier? mostly it just makes my html unreadable to the point i barely know what’s going in anymore. I don’t do much frontend stuff but i’m gonna go back to plain old CSS for my next project. It all sounds good in theory, but in practice, tailwind has been more work rather than less. I feel like i put a fair amount of time in understanding how everything works too.

It just really feels like one of those things that makes little difference but i wasted way roo much time on trying to give it it’s fair chance.

Microsoft does this painfully often

Good point, most people just justify it and don’t really question the morality. But after being told, precisely how and why it is probably immoral, and that animals dont live peaceful lives at the happy factory, what do you do? That’s when coping mechanisms kick in.

I’m not even vegan, im just interested in the psychology of it all. My cope is unga bunga monkey instincs and soy crap is expensive. There is no god, morality is invented by humans, it’s not punishable by law, therefore no consequences for my actions on me. As for everything affected by my actions, keep it at a safe distance i guess? Just like you, don’t rub it in my face because it makes me uncomfortable.

I think if we all seriously started analysing our actions as much as vegans want us to, we’d all hate ourselves for even existing. But im too tired for this wannabe deep bullshit so ima go back to destroying the planed by having a server somewhere emit pollution so i can listen to muh monkey brain happy songs on youtube.
