  • It helps to think about this as a spectrum, as more features become available more people will make the switch to Linux. Not everyone will be able to swich to Linux at the same time, and some people will never switch.

    Gaming was major bottleneck, even I, a person using Linux full time for the past 20 years, I used to maintain a Windows disk to play games. Only in the past couple of years I was able to sunset my windows setup, hopefully to never touch windows ever again. I had to drop a couple of games but it got to the point where rebooting to a OS wasn’t worth it, as most of my games worked flawlessly without any tweaking.

    There are many major pros to the Linux desktop environment, but we still need major software applications to become portable. The workflow of an average office worker is still not Linux compatible. Of course there are office alternatives, but they are not as easy to use. Though, IMO the oss world is hurting by trying to copy ms when their products are so horrible… Hopefully, the EU will drop some major cash at the issue with all these talks about digital sovereignty.



  • You should try being assertive, you can look it up, but essentially it’s a healthier communication style that emphasizes on facts and feeling. For example, you shouldn’t say you don’t care for me, instead say you cancelling our date made me feel dismissed.

    You can look it up online, essentially it’s a middle ground between being passive or aggressive.

    Keep in mind that every feeling is valid, and trying to pursuade someone otherwise is the art of gaslighting. Emotional manipulation and gaslighting, are common in a Narcissist’s playbook, if you feel you emotions are invalidated don’t angry, instead leave it’s not worth your time.


  • Are you high? 🤣 Jokes aside, I would be interested to know why you are asking these questions.

    1. Yes, I am intelligent, a lot of people have been impressed by the speed I digest a new piece of information.
    2. I have wisdom to know that intelligence plays a very insignificant part in shaping my identity. As for putting my intelligence into good use, I am not sure I can answer yes. I am too idealistic for my own good.
    3. IMO humans are unique and similar at the same time. Though, we got to be careful when trying to identify our similarities (see biopolitics, especially M. Foucault).

  • IMO we need to break it in a few independent but cooperating decentralized systems;

    1. A transportation service where consumers will request the transportation of goods or people from point A to point B, and providers will make bids for those requests.
    2. A storage service where providers will offer storage of goods at specific locations, and consumers that make requests for the storage.
    3. A LC service, where two parties can enter an letter-of-credit (LC) contract, and providers can guarantee the contract.

    If these systems are available, it would be possible to implement additional decentralized services like;

    • Marketplaces.
    • Passenger transportation services.
    • Food delivery.
    • Probably many more.

    That’s not the case for me, I can start doing stuff while talking with someone that is sitting, watching TV, or whatever.

    I think having someone near your serves two purposes:

    1. It helps your brain produce happiness juice (dopamine), that makes doing stuff easier.
    2. They act as an anchor, helping you stay at one place and focus on what you should be doing, like a physical reminder.

    If other people negatively impact your ability to get things done, I would suggest looking into it. Maybe you are subconsciously copying them, or you feel same shame doing stuff while others are not. I am not trying to invalidate your experience, just suggesting that it’s possible you can gain a better understanding of it if you dive deeper.





  • Lemmy’s user base is pretty interesting, you will find interesting discussions in pretty much most communities. However, if don’t find something interesting, don’t be afraid to start a discussion on your own. Coming from Reddit I used to be afraid of the harassment, but Lemmy is a safer space ❤️

    Some general pointers:

    1. Beehaw is a good place to look for interesting discussions
    2. If you find an interesting comment, take a look at the author’s profile, chance is they have more interesting stuff for you to find
    3. Filter by subscribed and hot/active
    4. Look for opinion articles

    Is this what autism feels like?

    Sometimes yes, a lot of us feel isolated, struggle with socialization and connecting with others. Othen it helps to find other ND people, they are just as interested in whatever niche topic you are thinking about.

    PS Yesterday, I started a post on AskLemmy after pondering about how technology and science is changing at a faster pace than people (mostly professionals) can adapt.
