Same. I’m a little embarrassed that I have little idea what it’s like. Last one I used daily was Windows 7. But then I wonder
how convenient it all was and how was missing so many things
What are these things I’m missing?

I feel like this is well named (run as user 0) so then I’m wondering what else you dislike and what you think would be improvements?
Where? My $300 U shaped window AC is modern quiet, tidy and efficient, but I was reading about window heat pumps being $2-3k.
Yeah, the whole observation needed the adjective American.
Long so I noticed US soaps we’re all wealthy people being miserable, while British soaps were all working class people being miserable, but Australian soaps were all working-class people being happy (after resolving some minor difficult situation).

What about a lightweight variant like Lubuntu or Xubuntu? 4Gb should be usable for a lot of things.
Yeah, why can’t they just quietly trudge towards our own extinction with resignation like the rest of us, instead of making a fuss.
I’m not triggered by any of this. I’m not sure why my thinking the question is inane would count as “being triggered”.
Upvotes does not necessarily mean people agree with OP’s stance.
It should mean they think it’s a useful/interesting question and I think it very much is not. It’s just someone whining that it doesn’t look like something they’re used to and a bunch of very patient people generously leading them through the very basics of the language that’s well covered in many introductory tutorials - as such it makes it all a waste of time and worthy of being buried.
The more time I spend on Lemmy the more depressed I am about its potential.
Stupid, wrong-headed comments get solid upvotes if they also hint at some popular sentiment. I even see comments that are literally unreadable nonsense get solidly upvoted, either by bots or by people who just like the vibe they feel from scanning it and don’t care that it’s gobbledygook. Some content makes me wonder if half of Lemmy is just LLMs barfing back and forth at each other.
Then this post is heavily upvoted, even though it’s nothing more than “the syntax isn’t the same as the other language(s) I have seen, waaaaa!”. Is it just people like to see Go criticized? Because there are actual real issues that could be discussed.
We can’t imagine anything but unfettered capitalism, so onward we go to our own destruction!
But our ignorant misconceptions are ubiquitous so they have become truth!
What problems with AMD Ryzen? I’ve been happy with them, except one that had excessive power drain on suspend.
Really.
AFAIK the ID law is a consequence of a centuries-old right that you cannot be required to identify yourself if you’re doing nothing wrong, and then even if you did do something wrong, you still can’t be required to have brought ID with you since it’s likely you didn’t set out knowing you’d be doing that today.
But the surveillance/camera thing is recent, when rights of ordinary people apparently are less fashionable.
You know I said UK but this is exactly the sort of law that tends to be different in NI.
I’m the UK you can’t be required to carry ID at all.
If the police ask you for them, you have 7 days to present them at a police station.
We’re not in the Anthropocene because the next epoch hasn’t taken shape yet. What humanity has done is create a transition from the holocene to whatever epoch will come next, the nature of which is unknown though we can predict some aspects. The idea that this right now is the new geological epoch is absurd hubristic misunderstanding of what a geological epoch is.
It’s not an epoch any more than the crash that totaled your car is your new car.
Well on Reddit, programmerhumor was mostly populated by people weirdly proud of how bad they are at their job, so I don’t see how Lemmy was going to be different.
I’ve worked in a few startups, and it always annoys me when people say they don’t have time to do it right. You don’t have time not to do it right - code structure and clarity is needed even as a solo dev, as you say, for future you. Barfing out code on the basis of “it works, so ship it” you’ll be tied up in your own spaghetti in a few months. Hence the traditional clean-sheet rewrite that comes along after 18-24 months that really brings progress to its knees.
Ironically I just left the startup world for a larger more established company and the code is some of the worst I’ve seen in a decade. e.g. core interface definitions without even have a sentence explaining the purpose of required functions. Think “you’re required to provide a function called “performControl()”, but to work out its responsibilities you’re going to have to reverse-engineer the codebase”. Worst of all this unprofessional crap is part of that ground-up 2nd attempt rewrite.
What do you think comments are?
Well all conventional air conditioners are strictly heat pumps, but when we say heat pump everyone usually means bi-directional heat pumps - ones that can provide heating as well as cooling. My Amazon results are not that and I was recently reading about them coming to market starting at $2k.
