overview for UrukGuy

When I worked in an office, the amount of people who would demand that the heating was cranked up as they were sat there in a cotton t-shirt instead of layering up.

The amount of people I know who have every light turned on in their house, the heating on all day throughout the winter, don't bother with basically insulation, don't turn things off at night, drive to places that are easily in walking distance etc.

I could keep going on forever with a list of small and basic changes such as products purchased, recycling, waste etc but I'd be here forever.

As individuals we can try, but the average population is too selfish and isn't going to stop until it's too late

Between the likes of pollution, deforestation, wars, extinction of species to name a few...the only thing that could save this planet is humanity somehow becoming infertile.

By definition, yes.

But let's be honest, you know exactly what I meant.

OP isn't wrong, it's the reason I came off social media years ago & I've been so happy since

Browsing social media gave this false illusion that people were constantly out having the time of their lives, every single day.

I just constantly felt like I had to try and do the same, that my life was boring and miserable. The reality is that I was doing and having more fun than most people based on conversation, social media was just painting a very false picture of people's day to day lives.

Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy in c/fediverse

Shut down as in 'that's a terrible idea for the fediverse'

If it was public & randomly sorted to the fediverse Lemmy servers, I don't see how it would be an issue

I've suggested something similar before and got shur down. Just sort people into a Lemmy server either based off their interests or location

"Nationality France = Lemmy France Server"

Or

"What are your interests? Gaming = Gaming Lemmy server"

As somebody who mostly plays WoW Classic & Diablo, plus ARPG like PoE and Grim Dawn - would I likely run into issues?

I've always wanted to try switching, though I would like to wait for HDR. I know that I could partition the OS, but tbh I just want to keep it simple with one OS
