Where at? I’m also in southern ab, but the trees around me seem to be fine.

Sounds like a joke to me? I do not get the infuriating part.

I also use Windows. I get the attraction of Linux, I use it for my selfhosting, but I absolutely hate it for day-to-day operations or work. So, don’t feel too bad about it, people love shoving shit down others throats.

I know two. One in my native tongue, and one in english.

It’s the easiest when in bed to scratch an itch! Imagine you’re going downhill on a bike, and your back is itchy all the sudden, or you’re swimming in the olympics and you’re now itchy… people take this for granted!

Aha! Lucky me, since I am tall I don’t need the person next to me to wake me up, the attendants can simply bang the cart into my leg! (it hurts like a BITCH especially when you’re asleep.)

I would prefer to say sane, but maybe you’ve had a taste already and it’s messing up your thoughts…

This ^. A very big downside of defederation. Just be more concious with what you post, and change up ur typing habits.

You can edit titles on Lemmy.

“Hippopotomonstroses-quippedaliophobia” hahahaha. props to whoever made that.

This is horrible imo. I personally turned off NSFW since I don’t really care about missing out on gore or the likes.

I’m pretty similar to you. Not much interest in technology, I already do it so often during my day-to-day that any more turns me over my breaking point. The main communities I am subscribed to are either picture-related or food-related, hope you can find what you enjoy!

I’m not from or in America, but imagining a school where every person in that building (kid or adult) is holding a gun walking from point A to point B is very dystopian.

Yeah drive is a pretty good feature. Do be warned though, proton’s overall Linux support is bad, including the VPN and drive. $8 for unlimited (which comes with everything you mentioned) a month is a little steep, but if you’ll use the VPN and the email it’s definitely worth it. Enjoy man.

Which ones? I mentioned more than 2 lol

What made you adamant on getting proton? Curious, cause I could mention some cheaper, but very competent email services.

I have an account I bought from an Indian friend for around $20/y, and the only way I use it is for my TVs. They are “smart”, but not android-based, causing me to not be able to install smartube or the likes.

• Tutanota
• Protonmail
• Mailbox.org
• Posteo.de
• Runbox
• Fastmail

I would recommend either Mailbox or Posteo simply because they cost 1€/m. For email I find that anything more than like $2 is a waste of money, but that is my opinion.

Both Tutanota and Protonmail offer freemium versions of their services.

I was not saying that spending time with my dog was meaningless, just that I prioritized my work, indirectly issuing “less” meaning to the time I spent with him. Either way, the past is the past, I can only go up from here.

If you live thinking this you’re only focusing on stuff which, at your point in time, find meaningless. Finding meaning in things changes drastically over time, and your point of reference is based on what you believe at a certain moment. During your childhood you probably found playing with toys to be “meaningful”, but now during your adulthood (assuming you’re an adult lol) you look at playing with a firetruck to be meaningless.

See the difference?

The time wasted on meaningless tasks are usually memories and experiences which we hold very dearly to. I’m sure as you get older you will regret not doing a certain thing because you’re too worried about the future, and how different actions will cause different results if you waste a little time. I know for a fact that I already regret not doing the “meaningless” things I thought were a waste of time, like spending more time with my now deceased dog. I took for granted that he was alive, and never really spent nearly as much time as I wish I did, thinking that an hour of work was more important.

Contrary to what I’ve been saying though, the manner of living life like “you’re going to die young” is also pretty valuable. You don’t want to be on the extreme that you simply don’t care about the future, and try to attach meaning to every action you take - it’s destructive.

Really, there’s no “right” way to live life, you can only live, make mistakes, take insight from your mistakes and mistakes from others, and to create your own way of living. It does sound corny as hell, I wont even lie, but think about it and do what you want with the knowledge you have right now.
