Well, it depends on how you interpret their emotes. They constantly use that clown emoji, and so on. I interpret it as “not interested in talking to you” because, uh, I can’t explain why. It’s kind of because of all the circumstances in which I use those emotes when talking to my friends. I interpret their intent as how mine would have been. I frankly can’t take them as anything else; it’s a flaw.

Also, I didn’t just start ghosting them for just this reason; it was usually for a few other reasons as well. For example, one of my former friends had habituated herself to calling people slang like dumbfuck on a regular basis. But I don’t use such words when talking to my friends; I find them harsh. I kind of used to get upset whenever she’d call me by such slang, even when I had done nothing that could hurt her. We simply aren’t compatible enough to remain friends. Her constant use of such emojis was merely a cherry on top, but a considerable one.

A lot of teenagers use it for some reason. It’s annoying because I’m a teenager myself, so I have to deal with my friends using it all the time. I went as far as ghosting some of my friends because they use annoying emotes all the time.

Installed 22.04 few months ago, did my configs, and then subscribed to Ubuntu Pro (free for five devices). Now I can enjoy a stable experience for at least a decade.

Yesterday, I made a choice that was very tough for me to make. So three years ago, I had a best friend, and we both liked each other. Things got hard because my feelings went too far, I became emotionally unstable and turned into an attention seeker. So because of that, I then ended the friendship.

Recently, she added me back. I thought we could be friends again because I felt like I improved my mental state in the last two years and won’t turn into an attention seeker again. Well, a week later, I was the same as I was three years ago.

It was ruining my mental health severely. I couldn’t focus on anything. But I still wasn’t ready to give up on the friendship because she was a very nice friend, and I still liked her for some reason. So I refused to give up. But things got worse real quick, and then I decided to write a long message to her explaining why I can’t continue this friendship and then I blocked her everywhere.

At the cost of ending all probabilities of a future with her, I feel much better now.

Gotta do something about this attention-seeking thing, though.

They said competition, not alternatives. As things are right now, and knowing people, not just trying to make a technical point, Firefox is the only competition.

not a fan of that font, but cool setup

I doubt Microsoft is that dumb, though.

Having to learn a programming language to get things working there makes it a distribution only for nerds.

I agree fully. I basically never download music anymore, because I can get all the music I can think of on Spotify for a few bucks a month.

I recently started music pirating because I listen to a lot of genres and I want to shuffle them. If I use Spotify, I am limited to their shitty shuffler, but if I download my music offline, I can shuffle however I want. My favorite algorithm to shuffle my huge bunch of music is to shuffle them by genre. Now I get to listen to interesting music with full control over the algorithm used.

Also, there are frequent power cuts in my area, so an offline library always proves useful. I also visit places where internet connections are not available.

you’re just doing 1/2 in a smaller scale. it makes most sense logically; it’s actually the numbers that are confusing you.

0.25 / 0.50 = (0.25 * 4) / (0.50 * 4) = 1 / 2 = 0.50

Piped and Invidious, I have tried dozens of servers of them. They just don’t work if I want to watch at 1080p. I have not tried the others though.

EDIT: I just tried FreeTube. It works great. Thanks.

No? That would be true if we were the Twitter community. But, for Lemmy, I am pretty sure most people that are on Lemmy fancy Reddit’s outdated old.reddit.com UI as well because it’s more simple. Things are much lighter, but still work.
