That’s the real problem with end users.

I think you underestimate how much time and energy it took to get us to this point. Like, billions of years of evolution to arrive at a brain as efficient as ours.
What do you all mean by “thinking”? Forming opinions or solving problems?
In Nier: Automata, 2B moves away if you try to look under her skirt. Kaine in Nier Replicant apparently even kills you for it and calls you a “pervy little shit” among other insults.
Fuck Windows XP
I think it’s allowed to hate anti-customer practices and have good memories of an actually somewhat user-friendly OS that just worked for many people in many other regards.
I hate Windows. I will always fondly remember XP and Win 7. Windows 7 should’ve been the last Windows.
So I am not mad at you. You shall be forgiven, and I am even going to turn the other cheek and give you an upvote. It’s what Windows XP would’ve wanted me to do, too, I am sure of it.

115 is not “average” lmao
Just an addition to all the long comments already here:
There are some games that don’t work on Linux, mainly big corpo multiplayer titles. https://areweanticheatyet.com/
Windows 10 LTSC IoT might help. (This gets recommended a lot on lemmy I noticed) : https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links
It’s not forbidden to set up dual-boot. I would recommend using Linux as your main OS though.
My gut tells me it’s unlikely but not impossible for this to be true. Is this more than just a suspicion of yours? There are far more effective ways of propaganda than fabricating posts and replies on lemmy.
Did you read the Communist Manifesto yet? It’s pretty short and a good starting point. Definitely more digestible than The Capital. It establishes and explains most well-known Marxist terminology, so you can put it into context if you stumble upon it elsewhere. You can find it on the internet pretty easily.

no
Yes. All I’m saying is please don’t simply dismiss this, it shows how adaptable right-wing ideology is.
I agree with everything else you said.
Anyone here remember Negative XP? Yeah like, we had this discussion 6 years ago or smt. Although I would never agree with this fascist piece of shit, what I take of this thumbnail is indicative of a very real phenomenon. Western countries becoming more progressive and integrating values of former counter-cultures over the last decades actually is doing new-right/alt-right movements a favor – at the moment, at least. If we’re lucky it will backfire in a few years.
I’ve noticed that animations seem a bit smoother, but that’s hella anecdotal.
Yeah I noticed this too. Plus some recent update fixed my lawnchair, the app launch animations were kinda broken for a few months.
Drugs. In general + some individual substances. I know literally no one who thinks of them in the same way I do.
No fucking way this is real imma check

When I was looking up CBT on Wikipedia because a friend of mine wanted to start it, I came down to the “critisisms” section and found a very interesting blog which might be worth a read.
https://melbournelacanian.wordpress.com/2014/02/03/a-critique-of-cbt-as-ideology-part-1/
I would argue most modern forms of therapy aren’t actually on the side of the individual, even if they seem like they are. They can’t address certain things that would empower you as an invidual, because it would be dangerous and also just not profitable.
And imo therapists don’t need to address or even recognize societal or economic problems, it’s out of their scope.
Anyway, take the blogposts with a grain of salt, I don’t know how accurate the critisism actually is.
For me personally it’s a bit like… the creation of memories. And the synthesis of what I like to call “ambient feelings” – like vibes or atmospheres people, places or situations give off. A lot of layered emotions, a lot superpositions, where something or someone is multiple things at the same time. “Chimeras”, which are blends of people I know for example.
That’s normal. I swear that my dreams are really detailed sometimes, but the memories become muddy the more I think about them.
Yes. I take my dreams very serious. They are weird and hard to describe, sometimes they are cruel in a way. I consider myself a pretty reflected person, but from time to time my dreams show me stuff I don’t want to admit to myself.
That said, I love dreaming. Reality is rigid and boring. I like to imagine we live and absorb impressions only so our brains can dream. Which is bullshit :D but I enjoy the thought.
