I try to ask myself, “What else would I be doing if not this?” More often than not, it’s just ‘wasting time’ instead of creating something, connecting with someone new, passing on or absorbing knowledge from others.

I would suggest making sure your own expectations are in check before you start in. Example: ‘I have a desire to share and discuss topics of my interests, but it’s just going to be for a hobby. Not for making a side income or the like.’ This way, it’s clear to yourself, and there doesn’t have to be regret, disappointment, etc., later on.

So what’s your goal or intention for starting a “Linux, software, privacy, etc. guides” blog?

Warm beer doesn’t sound good to me. Warm cider on the other hand…

Define “proper channels” for me.

Adding to this, to have them learn about static build up and how to ground themselves before touching anything in an electronic device. PC/laptop in particular.

TIL: imgur.artemislena.eu allows people to see images through an alternative frontend to Imgur. Neet!

Sounds like you would benefit from Cognitive behavioral therapy. I know I have.

Because yesterday was the fifth of November, I looked up Wikipedia pages about the story and person(s) that inspired the movie, V for Vendetta

The Wiki article about the Gunpowder Plot in particular was most interesting.

!macrophotography@lemmy.world would enjoy this as well!

Dude! This is rad!

I thought I’d just check it out and move on, but the subject, aspects and video editing pulled me in more. Solid video share! =D

I thought the benchmark was whether it can play Doom?

OP is uninformed and just found it funny and worth sharing. Good day

I don’t know what community you frequently visit, but I hardly ever see any shitposting comments, edge lord comments, etc., in the communities I frequent.

This is far superior to Hunter2 as a password.

For the less informed, what might that look like?

Hey everyone! Look at @Fridgeratr@lemmy.dbzer0.com! They’re human after all!

(We all have made basic and advanced mistakes. It happens. =))

From personal experience, whenever I’ve put a space in, I am told that spaces are not allowed. I tend to resort to using the minus sign " - " or the underscore sign " _ " in its place.

Sure, this has a chance of eliminating a billionaire, but I can think of two critical errors here.

1. What’s stopping them from just visiting/moving to an island for a weekend, month, year, or more, to prevent them from being killed?

2. Just because someone is dead doesn’t mean that their wealth goes away or reverts to the general populous. I’m not up on how many kids Elon Musk has nowadays (nor do I care to learn about it), but he has over 10 kids, last I checked. And because it’s not public record or hasn’t been leaked, we don’t know if any of them will inherit any of it. But chances are, they do. This then becomes something like a monarchical power problem. (I also don’t recall what it’s called, but there is a thought experiment where you try to determine if killing said person will be the best option to bring about a more peaceful, prosperous, and/or high quality of life in said country, if they are. We have a long line of historical events that often show that by killing one of the ‘evil’ persons, you do run the risk of replacing them with someone even more ‘evil’ than the person before them.

People on these corporate boards will clamor for the top position during a power vacuum situation. And so killing a person at the head of ‘all of this’ doesn’t really resolve the issue at hand. I’m a dreamer, and I’m not the only one. I believe that this all boils down to the need for a grassroots movement to replace the people in power in our governments and change the systems that do not or no longer serve the majority of people well enough or at all.

Final Destination (insert number)?

This is still one of my all time favorite short animations. Thanks for posting.
