sometimes I wonder why I bother coming to Lemmy

then i stumble upon high quality posts like this one and the informed discourse that follows and my faith is reassured.

is that John Malkovitch?

tough question… Why do we elect dick heads that do this stupid ahit?

Before the net was widespread, I was 'pirating" for my Amiga 1000. This is why local Computer User Groups existed :). That and your local BBS.

same way we live now? ( m and f couple)

debt free

electricity cost is near $0 (have a solar systems that grid feeds surplus electricity we’re paid for)

have an ecar and ebike we charge of said solar, so make our own fuel

live in a small rural community, lots of people DIY and grow their own food and swap/sell

have a free bus once a day to the nearby bigger city, use it on occasion for dentist/doctors appointments, or a day out in town

have a small acreage on the edge of town and get as much free beef as we want for letting the local farmer use it

have dozens of fruit trees around our house

my gf is a Chef who loves growing her own veg and fruit and cooks superb meals

have three years of expenses as cash

pay for water and local government taxes which is fine, get clean drinking water and the roads etc are repaired and we get a “free” library and “free” swimming pool out of it

enshitifcation is the inevitable consequence of “up and to the right”, Lemmy, Mastodon and the activity pub protocol don’t suffer that.

do you wear a helmet when you walk? if not why not, you can trip, fall smash your head.

do you wear a helmet when driving a car? lots of head injuries in car accidents

places that have very high rates of cycling don’t wear helmets.

i didn’t, I’m on Mastodon and would never consider Bluesky.

nothing ? he was an actor on a few tv shows, he seem’d a nice guy but then so is my neighbour.

I guess I find it a little depressing that there’s any reverence for actors, they are… acting. The local plumber, nurse etal do more good in the workd.

Jonas Salk however, mucho respecto.

Didn’t Rubio arrange it ?

i am reminded of Anetta Crosby in Afterlife, she was not a fan of the diarrhea

What would Pentti Linkola say about this I wonder :)

I use it all the time,. so much so when i trouble shoot friends laptops i keep forgetting they don’t have touch. I don’t have a tablet for that very reason, I don’t need more shit.

I have a Framework 12 on order to replace my Linux Surface Pro 7 that crapped itself.

as an aside, why is this an issue ? you know you can just not touch the screen yeah ? It’s not compulsory ffs!

well yes, that’s how a kid is made

Lewy Body? was that the same as Robin Williams ?

and again, the wrong 80+yr old

Signal and Matrix, never used Discord though

and so do his voters
