Me, too, TIL!

Thank you for articulating that so well.

This notion that working from an office is always better than working at work is self-centered drivel. You can use your free time to go out and see people!

want/need to do X as fast and painlessly as possible.

Yes, but money is a pain point. Free software eliminated that pain.

This past week I found DoubleDouble.top which has superior quality that YouTube converters IMHO.

Newbie here - Can you recommend a good Linux VPN? (For totally legal Distro Torrents, of course.)

Something that might be helpful in posts like this: Please tell us what this app does! Why would I want it? Instead we get a list of things that changed in an app that I’m not familiar with.

Well that’s gotta be an interesting story! Don’t leave us hanging!

issues with the Covid-19 vax

healthy for opposing viewpoints

Vaccine skepticism is not a “healthy viewpoint”, but quite the opposite. Vaccines and inoculations are about as much “proven science” as we have, with hundreds of years behind the science. Spreading anti-vaxxer propaganda kills people.

Side note, I had a couple of high blood pressure readings recently, and was considering using one of the injectable drugs for weight loss. But after talking to a doctor, I thought I’d try watching the food that goes into my “pie hole” first.

That was a few weeks ago when I saw my doctor. Since then, I’ve been eating much fewer processed foods, and more fruits and veggies. I was surprised at the difference of caloric intake and carbs from snack foods compared with regular fruit as a snack. “Tortilla chips: serving size 5 chips!” And eating the processed snack always leaves me wanting more. I also added some moderate walking exercise.

So after 4 weeks I’m down 8.5 pounds, about 3+% of my body weight. I already feel a big difference. Now I’m thinking I don’t need to inject expensive chemicals into my belly. Maybe I can just eat healthier foods and walk a few miles per week.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I’m convinced it takes a special kind of sociopath to be a CEO.

What data are you referring to?

I meant I’m interested in communities about the act and craft of creative writing.

Despite your sarcasm, those communities are ostensibly about writing about a real situation.

It’s pretty active with Superb Owls, just like you’d expect!

What’s this one-time sports game you’re talkin’ about?

Wait - writing communities on Lemmy?

That anonymizes Google results. It’s Google, all the way down.

If you use Steam quite a bit, check out the ProtonDB Web site. That can tell you the level of compatibility. 90% of my library seemed to be covered, and it’s seamless. I was impressed!

Edit to say: One problem I had was getting my Brother printer to work over WiFi. That was some annoying arcane wizardry, but I finally got it to work.

Because it is not the thing being sold in the package.
