You make an excellent point about the fediverse with which I wholeheartedly agree, but the point still stands that OP’s experience on lemmy.world in this particular situation was a result of their own unnecessary aggression towards someone asking a sincere question, not because it’s a “queerphobic shithole.”

Not at all. You were just being a gaping asshole over there.

“May you live in interesting times” generally isn’t said with good intentions; interesting can be bad.

The rules for how they’re supposed to work sound simple enough on paper. Unfortunately a lot of us in the US have poor reading comprehension skills.

How to properly go through a four-way stop.

Was about to ask what one does with dual Titan Xs, but the obvious answer is whatever the hell one wants.

I host a handful of Internet facing sites/applications from my NAS and have had no issues. Just make sure you know how to configure your firewall correctly and you’ll be fine.

One of these guys walked up and gave me a handful of birdseed, prompting a flock of pigeons to come perch on my arms. I most certainly did not hand over the money they wanted for the experience I didn’t ask for and was somewhat disgusted by.

I don’t have a huge game library so my experience is limited, but I’ve had no issues gaming on Mint. Some of my regularly played games include Deep Rock Galactic, Risk of Rain 2, Lethal Company, Astroneer, Elite Dangerous, and Sea of Thieves.

I bought an ancient PC game I used to play as a kid called Summoner, and even that started right up.

Micro Center! Unfortunately they can be a little hard to shop with if you don’t live near one. Their inventory for online shopping and shipping is more limited than their in-store stock.

Hilarious when people want to resort to “I WASN’T WRITING FORMALLY” in these situations. Just take the L and acknowledge it was a flub. Much less cringe that way.

It’s used both ways, it’s just context dependent.

I’m sure Rep. Mike Johnson and his son are thrilled.

There’s another nifty little container called qbittorrent-natmap that will take care of that for you.

Can’t speak for other countries but in the US this is horse shit.

In the address bar of the Firefox app there’s a little icon that looks like a page with some lines on it. Tap that on any page to go to reader mode. Gets rid of most of this junk with a single tap.

Kansas City comes up a number of times in my post history, so I’m not too worried about it. And I’ve got one of those names that don’t really help you in Google unless you’ve already got some fairly specific info on me. But thanks for looking out!

Yes, you are right. And I have already expressed my mea culpas and understanding it was a shitty thing to say. I’m not really sure what else to say.

It sends up a lot of red flags that you are an unstable and dangerous person incapable of controlling their emotions.

All the more reason I would like my meds to not be interrupted by some company’s profit margins.

You’re absolutely right. Having moved past the feelings of frustration, I see that was stupid.

Certainly understandable, and I’ve edited the main post to acknowledge the shitty nature of that part of my comments. I think I was just less receptive to @dhork@lemmy.world because of their condescending way of putting it.
