Lemmy has a hardon for FOSS, and an irrational hatred for windows.

Aside from that, it's quite nice imo

The irony of this movie poster mockup being AI generated cracks me up.

Being overly Paranoia? Can't think of another valid reason.

What casual use can you do on windows/Linux that you can't on android?

And Android is so much better than windows/Linux for touch that it's not even a competition.

Swap to a 0 calorie version and just keep enjoying it? Fizzy drinks are a pretty harmless vice in the grand scheme of things. Hollow calories, so if you can replace it with a 0 calorie version, it would at least stop affecting your weight.

I know everyone is against artificial sweeteners. They won't kill you faster than microplastics, pollution, break pad dust, war, alcohol, smoking,...

Enjoy life! Enjoy a fizzy drink! I thoroughly enjoy my daily coke zero can.

I use Linux and windows. Windows is so much simpler for 99% of ppl that grew up with it.

I love your optimism. But if even a single digit percentage of them migrates to Linux, that would be mind boggling.

I have the galaxy tab ultra. I use it more than my actual laptop for surfing and lounging and watching videos. For work and productivity I use my laptop. If I really had to pick one, I'd probably pick the tablet. It's all about what you do with it + formfactor

(have a desktop for actual gaming)

Also, the Lenovo y700 is an awesome device if you want an 8inch tablet.

Lol, OK. Yeah. Didn't think about caveats. :D

Ah, fair enough. So that's similar to "infinite universes of infinite possibilities, except light can never go faster than 300.000 km/sec"?

In an infinite list of letters, every single book ever written, every word ever spoken (and to be written/spoken) should be present no?

I guess the only caveat is that in an infinite universe certain physical laws could be universal (which would prevent eg any universe to break the speed of light)? But some version of me having hair past my 30s should certainly exist no?

Or am I getting this completely wrong?

I also prefer electric cars, but goddamn if I haven't gotten a heart attack multiple times from a sneaky silent ev fly past me minding my own business walking on the road. (not every road has sidewalks in the non-US city where I live)

Don't want to get into a whole argument, But ltt suggested to stop throwing dirt. GN turned around and just continued slinging dirt. Just feels weird to me.

 

I'm traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?
