  • What does smoking a cigarette here or there has to do with addiction?

    Where did I or the original post mention anything about occasional smokers? This post is offensive to those struggling from lifelong addiction to cigarettes, which is almost never a choice.

    Also wouldn't it be the best advice against addiction find the will in oneself to stop doing it? If addicted smokers know what their cigarettes do for themselves and others, then they might want to try search for help, to get them off their addiction?

    Gee, that's such great advice! Why didn't the lifelong addict think of that one themselves? You just singlehandedly solved addiction.

    Noone chooses being addicted to cigarettes. It's a mental health disorder just like being addicted to fentanyl or heroin, and a crippling one at that for some. Please educate yourself about what addiction is before defending posts like this. What you are doing is similar to shitting on people for "choosing" their sexuality or gender.

  • What an insensitive and utterly vile post. If you understood anything about addiction, which I'll remind you is a health disorder and not a personal choice, you would be ashamed of yourself. Some of us and our families are really struggling with huge impacts to physical and mental health, our entire lives, from addictions like this. Hope posting this made you feel better about yourself tho 👍

  • What are your favourite songs with epic bass drops?

    Jump

  • You just sent my ADHD brain into the depths of my music library for 2 hrs. It's early morning and I have shit do do man, why would you do this to me? There are soo many I could list here, ranging from Dubstep to Drum and Bass, to Bass Music and Trap and almost every other kind of electronic music. Most Techno, especially Trance basically revolves around building up and dropping one big and epic drop.

    Personal bias and nostalgia, but Rusko - Everyday (Netsky Remix) has to be one of the sickest bass drops of all time.

    If we start listing Techno drops here, this thread would never end, so I'll refrain. Here's just one example: Space 92 & The Yellowheads - Planet X

    The same is true for Wave music, but here's a taster: Deadcrow - GT1000

    Disclosure, Eliza Doolittle - You & Me (Flume Remix) is a masterpiece in its own right. But this brass band live performance of the track restores my faith in humanity every time I listen to it.

    Some honorable mentions in a similar vein:

  • I really appreciate your comment. Knowing I'm not alone in this feeling is so encouraging and has been eye opening. Gives me a sense of community and hope that we can do something about it.

  • I just want to say thank you for writing such a detailed response. It's been quite eye-opening for me, I wasn't even aware that so many great resources and communities exist to explicitly counter this sentiment I've been feeling about negativity in news and other media.

    It's very encouraging to see that I'm not the only one with this feeling, and even just the responses to this post are sending me on a whole journey of being more positive!

  • Here come the downvotes, which most seem to use based on whether they agree with something or not, rather than for signalling the quality of a comment. It fosters echo chambering rather than healthy discussion. I for one think that this is an excellent question and discussion.

  • This reads like fake news. No publication date, no sources listed, very vague and self-contradictory on the details. How is no other news outlet corroborating this?

    I'd take this one with a huge grain of salt.

  • A VPN will not save you, they are easily worse for privacy in terms of user tracking. It centralises your entire web traffic in a single place for the VPN provider to track (and potentially sell).

  • if you looking for a good alternative for google search, try "SearXNG"

    Jump

  • Of course it can be done, check your web server logs.

    If you are using GET requests to send search queries to searxng, what you searched for will show up in the logs as

     
        
2024-10-31 123.321.0.100 /?query=kinky+furry+pictures

    If you use POST requests the server admin can also easily enable logging those.

    People hosting searxng can absolutely see what you searched for, along with your IP address, user agent string etc.

  • Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux

    Jump

  • Maybe you've been sold a bit of a lie.

    Linux is not like Windows. Linux will never be like Windows. It is first and foremost a general operating system, not necessarily a Desktop operating system.

    IMO, that means you will never truly be able to completely avoid using the terminal here or there.

    Telling people that it's easy to switch from Windows to Linux is just not true. Linux just works differently and going in with the expectation that things will work the same way only serves to disappoint those brave enough to attempt the switch.

    If you try again, go in with the mindset that you've never used a computer before, and without needing to depend on Linux for your day to day computer work. See it as a tinkering side project, and maybe it will stoke your curiosity enough that you'll want to use it day to day.
