Not the same by the sound of it, my hearing is exceptional for my age and career path.

Sorry to hear your hearing has deteriorated to such a degree, I hope you’re able to tune it out/sleep through it.

I’ve been listening well above recommend levels for years, I’ve done work operating industrial machinery and my hearing tested among the best for my age. Just use hearing protection, and don’t go nuts on the volume.

It’s the only ring I’ve seen in years I would actually wear.

Oh you’re bang on, but in my mind I’ve always just kinda “known” I don’t want kids, there’s already too many of us. Obviously that’s since been heavily reinforced based on the science 🔥

Been thinking about this since I got to double digits, how could adding more people solve overpopulation and overconsumption?

I’m dreaming of an ad-free vision technology

The discord thing is improving (slowly), also partly it now recognizes Linux games launched from steam, but not proton ones. I haven’t tried lutris or anything yet, but I haven’t booted into windows for weeks now.

I’ve also become more comfortable with Linux in general so that’s likely helped too.

Similar in the Capitol, unusual weather. It’s gonna get bad the next few years I reckon (assuming we get through this summer unscathed).

This conversion has my support.

My windows did this to me while I was dual booting with Mint, re-enabled secure boot when I went back to windows to check a wiki real quick.

Came here to say this.

This is what I did, I’ve been using windows since 98.

I am now on Linux Mint full time, it had it’s teething issues (also not my first distro) but all it took was some DDGing and persistence. I actively cringe when I’m forced to boot into windows for something now.

As I’ve said in previous comments, it’s absolutely worth the effort, spend some time on different distributions, every distro is a little different. On this note, absorb as many suggestions from the Lemmings as possible, regarding Linux and FOSS they really know their shit.

Basically, tread your own path, ask for help if you need it and do it at your own pace, in your own direction. Everyone’s needs are different, the distro list is as long as it is for a reason.

You really do just need to fuck around to find out (what you like).

There are examples of exactly this occuring regarding renewables, there are community funded battery/solar farms here in Aus.

If it can be done on that scale, it can definitely be scaled up, it’s just a matter of willingness of the community.

Based. If you see something you dont like on the fediverse, you can ignore it (like a sane person) or filter it out (also like a sane person).

You went wrong at “convincing”. Send it, hope for the best ;)

I removed and moan as much as the next bloke, but yeah that comment hit me right in the soul (assuming I have one).

The majority of humanities problems are caused by shit government policy and billionaires’ addiction to pollution and making line go up.

Overpopulation is a part of the issue, but pales in comparison to the rich, corps and corrupt politicians.

E: you’re bang on about the existential dread being part of it, if folks are poor or have little going for them, the likelihood of having kids drops significantly.

Yes, by removing all internet connectivity and updates.

Yes+: Hulk smash.

This bloke just realised we’re living in the darkest timeline…
