Can you elaborate on why “self hosting is not an option”?

I don’t feel that I have the skill to set a server up, but what you describe does sound interesting and I will look into it.

I also don’t have hardware I could just use and am not in the position to spend a lot of money all at once.

250 GB to 1 TB. Not more than 5 Dollars a month.

I only use Lemmy since the reddit API Fuck up.

Sometimes, if I am looking for information, I visit reddit, but I treat it like any other random forum I look up something, take the info and fuck off again.

I use YouTube, if you wanna count that. I don’t comment there and use Newpipe or PipePipe, so only consuming and no participation there too.

I haven’t used any other social media, like Facebook or Instagram, so nothing hardcore for me in just continuing not to do so.

And after 6 months find out that you never actually did that so delete windows/migrate it into a VM and enjoy the extra game drive you won.

This is where I am at. As of last week I banned Windows to the deeps of a vm and went all in on Linux (Mint, in this case). Dual bootet for a couple of months but since I never used Windows outside of a vm anyway…

Havnt had a single issue with games so far, besides some very minor hick ups that were resolved easily. Than again, im lucky that the game so play have been supported so far.

Thanks, I tried it our and it works like a charm for me :-)

Is there a viable alternative for Nvidea cards?

That’s a very low bar.

I’ll show myfself out.

I was a single, almost 40 years old and happy but somewhat lonely dude 2 years ago.

Now I have a wonderful wife and my twin boy and girl are the sweetest little bunches of joy I can imagine. Additional, my mum sold her house and now we have enoth money to take a year of work and care for the kids together.

I’m tiered and, i am exhausted, but feel so endlessy blessed and happy every time I look at my wife or my children.

The Fedverse works in mysterious ways 🤷

Beeing honest about mistakes you make is way better than trying to deflect or lie about them. This is true in professional and in social settings.

Own up to your mistakes, try to correct them and be open about you fucking up. Most people will respect that more than you trying to be Mr or Ms Perfect.

Bullshit. You wouldn’t call it ethical to kill a 5 year old you see in the street just because it is done quick and painless.

Murder doesn’t become ethical just because it’s not also torture.

How many predators can take down prey 50 times their size?

Ants and a couple of Insects I guess. Also Bacteria and Viruses.

How many species can thrive in tundra, jungles, plains, forests, mountains and deserts?

Well, obviously also most Bacteria. If we are speaking more sentient live then the answer is: mot of them. Birds, Mammals, Insects. It might take a generation or 10 to get them adopted to their new envirment, but almost every species. Is able to adopt to their evolutoany niche.

How many species can be found on every continent?

Most of them?

How many species figured out how to fly despite never developing wings?

Technology. Yes, that’s a human thing at last, at least at the level we use it.

How many species developed hundreds of distinct methods of communication

Various species have methods of communicating, from bees dancing to each other to whales having distinct regional dialects. Yes, humans have added some complexity to it by introducing technology, but that’s realy what it comes down to. Technology.

How many species have been to the moon?

Technology, once more.

So your point is that humans have learned to use technology, therefor they are badass.

I disagree. We are living in an absolut singularity tight now. Humans have learned to use finate resources (oil for example) to amplify the energy that we have at our hands. A single humans beeing today can use energy that would be equal to thousands of men’s work every day.

Since we are drawing on finate resources there are two ways how this will go: we will learn to exploit other, less finate sources of energy (say, fusion) and the groth path will continue (to the stars, eventually). Or we will run out of energy or ruin the livable world by doing so and will fall back to an earlier level of development. Since most of the resources needed are used up we will not be able clime back up. At this moment we are on the second of those paths.

And in our way in getting here we have started the sixt mass extinction, accidentaly started turning the climate into something less sustainable for humans and polluted every single space on this planet, including areas like the deep ocean that we have never even touched physically.

Humans are not badass, in my opinion. We are fucking cancer.

but humans are evolutionary badasses

How so?

New Zealand by far. Nature was just so awesome.

Gender ideology, which seeks to blur differences between men and women through movements such as transgenderism, “makes everything the same,” Francis said.

“Erasing differences is erasing humanity. Man and woman, however, are in a fruitful ‘tension,’” Francis told the assembly

Wild. Unscientific, Transphobic and in the end just realy harmful misinformation.

You can fuck right off with that attitude, mate.
