I’m in the 1%

The way allah intended

Not only do they bite, they are venomous. So if one does manage to bite you, it will hurt like a bitch.

On the other hand, one will most likely not bite you.

I get the sentiment, but most places don’t have even halfway decent coffee shops. Everyone gives starbucks shit (rightfully so), but the fact is if you walk into a random cafe in America, it will most likely be inferior to starbucks. The level of quality in American coffee is just abysmal. And if you’re traveling, you won’t know if the cafe you take a chance on is a hidden gem (spoiler, it never is). I was in Austin one time and I found this hipster place that had great reviews on google. The interior was really nice, nice place to work, spacious, etc. The coffee tasted like dog water. It wasn’t mediocre, it was trash. I’m sure Austin has great cafes, but unless you live there how will you know? Starbucks is a consistent mediocre coffee.

Just run the company in a way where you don’t really care about maximizing profit.

Our system of government makes this illegal for publicly traded companies.

Whichever your favorite one is, that’s the most overrated one

What is why? What is the solution we’re trying to solve?

Lemmy being imperfect doesn’t change the fact that it does solve one big problem: it takes the big corporation and its influences out of the equation. It is not possible for a centralized solution to do this.

Right but it would be an even better alternative if you had the choice who to block.

Btw blocking instances at the user level is a feature that will be coming to lemmy soon.

I’ve never used arch but I’ve used it’s documentation quite a bit, it’s really useful

Time to move to FreeBSD

I use both and I can tell you that is rare. Mac gaming is trash.

Alternative plan: why not use gecko? I know it’s more work to do so, but I would call that the lesser of two evils at this point.

Pulseaudio and pipewire are kind of like audio drivers (not exactly but anyway). Let’s say you’re running spotify and discord. They both send their audio to pipewire. You can then use pipewire to control how loud each one is. It also supports more complex use cases like if you’re streaming, you can hook up the spotify output and your microphone mixed together into discord’s input so that the mixed audio will be streamed.

Pipewire is newer and basically replaces another system called jack that did the same thing for pulseaudio.

Depending on where you live, it might be nice to see a lot more of what’s around you on a bike. It’s similar to OP’s idea of getting lost in the flow of a competitive sport. You get lost looking at all the places that pass you by. You can take random routes each time and learn the city around you pretty well. It doesn’t hurt to have your headphones in and listen to an audiobook while you’re doing this either.

I never really got into running because it’s so much slower than biking. You will see a fraction of what you see on a bike, so I think it probably gets boring quicker. Plus it puts more strain on your joints.

I peddle that to my coworkers for no other reason than because I don’t know how to deal with Windows garbage when they run into a problem. It’s more for my sanity than anything else.

A similar option is https://spike.news/ which I’ve been using for the past couple years.
