Prob gonna get downvoted but lemmy is so negative. I feel like what gets the most up votes is negativity with no nuance. Like this post is comparing working endlessly on a literally endless grueling task that has no benefit to a job which gives us money to do the things we want to do in life.

Maybe it’s on me for not curating my feed more but the negativity on lemmy is getting old. Does anyone else notice this trend of negativity?

Edit: I suppose I’m being negative about negativity. Am I a hypocrite? Lol

I avoid apt because it does silly stuff. Always use apt-get. I suppose having to know that quirk is a con of the distro.

I just don’t use snaps and it works great for me. For docker I add their apt repository and install it like that.

What is so bad about Ubuntu server?

What is the principle for manual cars?

Fuck you cunt

Because it’s for entertainment purposes… I can watch horror movies and not be a fan of people being murdered. What a terrible take.

I am in the tinkerer category so I guess that is why I found the blanket statement of this post be not entirely accurate.

When I am excited about something I think about it almost constantly. I know there are a lot of other people in the same boat.

The flexing aspect is kinda dumb. I do think working a lot is ok if you are enjoying yourself and not neglecting other aspects of your life.

Totally agree about the kids thing. Being a parent should always take precedence over working(besides working extra to fund the basic needs of the household). Good point :)

What do y’all think about working excessive hours on something that is wholely yours(not working for someone else)?

Make sure you get the yellow one. The rest are kinda meh. Enjoy!!

I raise you this

I’m saying it just works, I didn’t say anything about why that is the case.

It just works. I don’t want to have to invest time in making my os work. I want to spend my time on my projects(which I use wsl for)

I totally understand the desire and satisfaction of having complete control over your os but a lot of people just want to be able to do simple stuff like game and browse the web which windows does just fine in my experience.
