I transferred some files that would have taken windows about 5min, it only took 20sec.

If we’re talking about storage devices, this may just be lots of caching, which in my opinion sucks for slow removable devices, because the transfer stays in background and you still can’t unplug the damn USB.
Though there can also be some difference with filesystems. I can get pretty fast and stable RW with F2FS compared to exFAT on these devices.

pay bills

I don’t trust the phone browser anymore after I had it crash during a payment. The money was sent, but the token wasn’t sent back to the website.
Thankfully we now have instant bank transfers, so the state of the browser doesn’t matter.

Anyway, I still prefer to take out the laptop for serious stuff like payments.

The year of Linux desktop?

Hairy Potter

At least they don’t really get hurt.

At least generally. Unfortunately, I don’t remember who told me that, although it was a “back in the day” thing, but someone told me they used to put pillows under their skirts, otherwise they couldn’t sit down the day after.
Might have been my grandmother, but I don’t remember anymore.

And I’ve also seen some good point online about how kids can’t really opt out when their parents allow in some drunk men to drench them in water and whip them. Again, may not be the usual, but yeah…

Good luck surviving the Easter Monday if you’re from somewhere in the Visegrad Group region.

terrible worthless asshole

That’s the neat part, no one.
But hey, you’re not alone being alone. (Sorry, I kinda like that sentence)

OK, I seem to have the wrong opinion here, but I personally don’t mind AI stuff. It can make the weirdest ideas into an image, which can be often funny. Also some AI image prompts may be quite complicated. I remember someone posting the prompt for some image and it was like a whole sheet of paper worth of keywords. I remember it because the negative prompt included “fused anus”, which really caught my eye.

I never worked with it though, I have no idea how it really works, apart from using simpler tools like Gemini.

What do you mean by “90%”?

Lemmy is a federated platform, not a single website, nor a single community.

Nowadays, I have a 2-in-1 laptop and use a stylus to take notes instead!

I also have one, and it’s cool. But, but! Have you tried a fountain pen? I mean, I may be weird, but it’s kind of cool. But I really, really should invest into some better paper. Regular paper seems OK, but something better… would be… better.
Though I did have some luck with certain cheap notebooks from Papírny Brno. The ones that have smoother, white paper. Not the darker, coarse, recycled stuff.

And that’s even with that cheap paper (though most paper won’t show any sheen at all). Better paper would likely show more sheening, especially in combination with wetter pen, but I don’t know where to get it.

Although… the Skull & Roses dries a bit too quickly. If you stop writing for a bit, it dries in a few seconds in the nib, and won’t write anymore.
Another issue is that the ink can be a bit distracting. I like to watch it dry, I like to write with it, I like to look at the sheen which makes me angle it under light to see it better. So I just end up scribbling something, and look at it, and my mind is gone.

Unfortunately we do most stuff on computers, so I don’t get to write much.

saying something like this indicates to me that you don’t understand the complexities of masculinity, femininity or sexuality

Yup. Look at gay “bears” and heterosexual femboys or drag queens.

What is a charity?
I mean, like most people I just think of organizations that help the homeless, poor families, starving children, etc…

For me the scam risk is too high, and anyway, that’s where most people donate money, both because it engages a lot of emotion.

But I do donate elsewhere, mostly FOSS projects like KDE and individual developers like for example Deluan Quintao (developer of Navidrome server).
Though I also donate to some local more standard-like places. Those are ochranma hotline - portal in INHOPE network for reporting illegal online content including CSAM; IPcko - crisis intervention helpline (psychological help) with physical offices as well (unpaid of course) and a mobile crisis team, as far as I know they’re underpaid (a quick search shows they had to fire 17 psychologists in 2024); and lastly Municia pre Ukrajinu - money for purchase of ammunition for Ukraine in collaboration with Czech Republic, as the Slovakian government refused to aid them

Anyway, all of it is just little bits, I can’t afford to donate any meaningful amount.

How much would an assassin to kill you cost? 🤔

Anyway, best to refuse this offer.

Fuck!

Better question is what 4 letter words I can even remember. Let’s see…

fuck, lock, cock, yiff, bear, fair, mare, fare, Mars, SARS, cars, arse, bars, tree, pine, mine, dime, fine, lime, blue, moon, soon, tone, moan, loan, lawn, down, fawn, leek, meme, joke, yolk, dick, lick, sick, tick, kick, ball, mall, fall, chip, ship, spin, meat, meet, porn, corn, horn, burn, role, play, star, trek, mono, long, song, dong, monk, duck, luck, suck, rack, deck, card, nano, pico, mini, cake, sake, lake, aqua, cyan, Arch, lore, vore, fart, dart, mart, sour, hour, four,…

There’s probably a website for that, what am I doing. I’ll go with Mars Arch.

Interesting how my brain picks the words.

Edit: Removed duplicate word

Edit 2: Remembered a better candidate

Are you sure it was an actual choice?

Not the person you replied to, but I prefer neither of those in this context since they only represent age-based sexual attraction, which may also be given as a diagnosis.

The more fitting name is a “predator” or “sexual predator”. If specific to children, then “child molester”. Both technically correct (as far as I know), while also sounding more serious (in my opinion).
