I've been using Windows since the days of 3.1, practically my entire life. So I'm really comfortable with how windows operates and how to do the things that I want to do.

I've dabbled around with Linux over the years, but am now considering trying to make a full switch to it.

What are some resources to "learn" Linux properly? Such as understanding the filesystem, basic security practices, essential tools or commands, etc?

Democratic capitalism (capitalism + democracy) alongside a strong and efficient social welfare system is what I personally adhere to.

Not a parent but I read this and have my personal opinions, curious what others think about it.

I signed up for so many fediverse instances that are open for registration. Yes, so many. Maybe around 10 to 30 instances; I didn't count. But I'm sure there are many. Am I the only one who does this? 🤣 How many fediverse instances have you signed up for?

So, in other words: which of your core beliefs do you think has the highest likelihood of being wrong? And by wrong, I don’t necessarily mean the exact opposite - just that the truth is significantly different from what you currently believe it to be.

这是我第一次使用 Lemmy，虽然我知道它支持 ActivityPub 、但还是需要深度了解一下

My parents were in an arranged marriage in China, they argue like every week. They are toxic af.

I wonder if people who freely choose their partners have less toxic families... 🤔

Someone just asked the opposite of this question here and I was wondering if there are cases were you're just not interested in something but you know the community is great nonetheless.

"So just do it" is a glaring one for me.

Simply because it is disregarding someone else's thought processes and how their mind works. Where simply 'just do it' is not as easily and readily accomplished. This kind of advice is always uttered when one person is going on about how they're tired of something and want to do something else. So this gets mentioned.

It could be a lot of reasons as to why, even if it is down to the obvious reasons. My valid reason a lot of the time is that I just don't have the energy or will to just magically get myself to do something.

My idea of Heaven would be, that it'd be a place where you get to spend as long as you want there before deciding to move on. Like whether you want to comeback as someone new or want to be an angel or want to do something on a cosmic or spiritual scale that contributes to the bigger picture. You're free from all suffering, regret, torment and guilt.

The idea of Hell is, is you get planted into two potential places aside from the commonly registered idea of hell that's depicted. One place is solitary confinement, for your spirit. No contact, nothing. Whatever you suffered with, still remains and nothing or nobody will bother with you.

Another place, is where you get to relive your better dreams and memories. But they're going to be fucked with until they're nightmares, robbing you of ever reliving the pleasantries that they once provided you. It'll be like partaking in a bad sitcom and you're its star. You're here in this idea of hell for quite the eternity, you don't get choice as to when you want to leave or what you do with your spirit.

What is your line in the sand?

Edit: thank you all for your responses. I think it's important as an American we take your view points seriously. I think of a North Korean living inside of North Korea. They don't really know how bad it is because that is all hidden from them and they've never had anything else. As things get worse for Americans it's important to have your voices because we will become more and more isolated.

Even the guy who said, "lol." Some people need that sort of sobering reaction.

• Is there a way to change the flavicon(icon in the tab preview as I understand) to another fediverse platform?

I currently have "mouse in flag colors" as an icon based on feddit org. But I would prefer for example the feddit IT logo - orange mouse, clean design)

Is that possible to change with like tampermonkey addon or something somehow in a rather easy way? I have an addon called "TwitterBird" for Mozilla replacing all X logos with the old blue twitter logo

• Or is there even a better way to accomplish this without creating an additional account to swap to all the time?

When I'm shopping for a desktop computer, I hear two numbers constantly: Clock speed (usually in GHz) and core/thread count. What else is there to CPU performance besides these two numbers? What makes a modern CPU more performant than a CPU from years ago, assuming the same core count and clock speed?

There's a couple listed on fedditOrg's description, but now I wonder which interfaces you guys use and how to find all the options

Also are they limited to my account? As in I'd need to create a second lemmy account under another community like lemmy.world for other interface "skins"

I guess that this 50501 movement has somehow gained some recent popularity from somewhere, but the sheer volume of content, communities, and even instances seems weird.

Where did this all come from and why did it seem to come as a sudden flood?

Could be an attached memory or sentimental value, whatever.

Conventional worth be dammed.

Given to me it would either be the quilts my grandmother made, or the charts my grandfather followed along with during the moon landing.

Personal items would be the assorted thank you notes the elderly have given me from being in retirement industry. Want to make a collage of them one day.

If you listen to any podcast(s) you recommend, tell us about it

I am in a temporary one-year position (not in the tech field) hired directly by the company so no recruiter involved. At three months in I asked about how I could transition to full time (my manager previously mentioned he was pleased with my performance and was impressed how quickly I was able to ramp up). The response I received from my manager was that I would have to wait until closer to the end of my one-year contract when a "headcount" would be completed. My manager also asked if I was looking for another position (I said No) and to inform him if and when I do.

I took that as a sign that I should start looking, but I'm now wondering how I should communicate my reason for looking for a new position during interviews with a potential employer. What would be the professional manner of answering such a question?

I'm interested in ways that people document, prioritize and execute items they need to do. What have you found useful?

For me: I don't particularly care about other Outlook functionality, but flagging emails and managing them in the sidebar has helped me a lot. I have it set to display only items due today, and then sorted into categories like "now," "soon," "pending." If I don't expect to get to an item today I change the due date to tomorrow or next week. Items don't have to be based on an email either, you can just type into the sidebar text field.

When I get emails I either immediately reply, flag it for later action, or ignore, and then I drop all emails into one giant folder. If I need to find something I do it all by search.

I've tried other systems like gmail's to do list, but it feels like way more friction to accomplish the same things, especially wanting to only view tasks due today, and categorizing tasks.

Likewise I've tried to-do-list apps, but not being able to instantly convert an email into a task, and not having documentation easily at hand when I go to perform the task makes them feel more burdensome.
