Computer related:...

It looks like taxes increase and any kind of post-life planning can be done with a few legal filings rather than getting married. Is there any real benefit? It kinda seems like it’s just a way to trap people in relationships, probably traditionally, the woman.

So I think I have a basic grip on this conflict, the modern times at least, it’s basically a back and fro attacks of Israel and Palestine military, about who the territory of Gaza Strip and West Bank....

Looking to talk to people on Lemmy and places similar to r/penpal or r/dirtypenpal. If anyone knows a place on lemmy like that or if you’re interested in creating a place let me know.

I’ve installed Pop!OS after getting my Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 back from the warranty repair.

Ok so here’s the rules...

When Minecraft came out, it was hard to understand, not that good looking and only really catered to nerd gamers. There was no recipe book, no cute animals, no lush caves to explore, just an unforgiving Day-Night cycle and few, very creepy caves....
