Linux@programming.dev•I replaced Windows with Linux and everything’s going greatEnglish
71·5 days agoI think a lot of people would enjoy it if they gave it a chance. I wish I had sooner.
The Picard Maneuver@piefed.worldOPtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•We don't need to schedule anything. It won't take long. English
2·8 days agoI’ve been there too. It’s such a waste of time, and then everyone’s pressured to work extra hours to make up for it.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL about “Second Screen Viewing” and that Netflix pushes writers to make scripts and dialogues simpler to keep viewers who are on their phones engagedEnglish
411·8 days agoNetflix had some good years, then it seemed like they were starting to get pretty inconsistent, and now it seems like they’re entering their straight-up slop era.

2·9 days agoI always think I’m going to do this, and I never once have. Next time for sure…
it’s reassuring at least we pick the very best, smartest and most qualified leaders to manage all this.
Reminds me of that episode of Futurama: “Fortunately, our handsomest politicians came up with a cheap, last minute way to combat global warming.”

Just Post@lemmy.world•Graduation inflationEnglish
101·10 days agoYeah, I think it’s a case of schools meeting their metrics by any means necessary, because we shouldn’t be seeing reading and math skills dipping while graduation rates go up.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•How did he do that??English
901·11 days agoI don’t think so. The joke is that you’re supposed to put your arms up in the air to appear bigger when you run into bears, so bear-cop is suddenly intimidated when the perp does it.
The Picard Maneuver@piefed.worldOPtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Prove you're a fan first. (satire)English
65·11 days agoI don’t think it’s making fun of anything in particular. This guy’s whole deal is coming up with fake features for apps that would be incredibly annoying.
The Picard Maneuver@piefed.worldOPtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•It's probably not reasonable to expect this to improve in 2026. English
2·12 days agoI procrastinated doing this for years, then finally set up a NAS a few months ago and backed everything up so that I could make the switch. It was worth it.
Does it help if I tell you that I love my cat more than RAM and would never trade him?

People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•The baby-proofing arms raceEnglish
26·14 days agoThe noise-making toys have a tendency to go “missing” in our house.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•When you get tired of DistrohoppingEnglish
19·15 days agoI changed one of my PCs over to Debian this month, and I was surprised at how smooth it is. I guess I was expecting it to be way more barebones. I don’t know if I need more than this!

People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•That doesn't sound terrible to meEnglish
8·15 days agoJust looked it up, and I’m seeing that his name is a sort of contradiction. His first name is “Light”, and the characters in his last name mean “night god”.
It sounds like sort of a “light vs dark” / “good vs evil” wordplay, although I don’t know if that counts as a pun.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you deal with grief?English
21·16 days agoWith grief, the only way out is through. Unlike other mental ailments such as depression or anxiety, you’re not going to find a cognitive distortion or flawed line of thinking that is responsible for the distress and can be challenged. Grief is logical, and we have to feel it until it becomes less intense.
What we can do is modulate how much we’re processing at any given moment to try to keep it manageable. Think of it like that saying, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” You can’t change the total size of the task, but you can control how big of bites you take.
Finding what helps you reduce the “bites” will be personal, but starting with some general coping skills like “thought-stopping”, meditation, or any activity that keeps your mind active and occupied is a good start.

Just Post@lemmy.world•Signs like this could be found in the late 1800s/early 1900s, explaining this strange new technology. English
11·16 days agoThat sounds like a fun house to live in.
When I was double-checking the date of this sign before posting earlier, I saw a handful of results for vendors selling them. You could probably find one pretty easily if you decide you want it.
The Picard Maneuver@piefed.worldOPtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Well, that seems badEnglish
51·16 days agoI miss when no politicians even understood what the internet was.

101·16 days agoJesus…
I’d completely forgotten that this had a name!
