“I don’t get why are you so upset. It’s not a big deal.”
first off I’m not? I’m just confused why the entire modteam just refused to get everyone’s input and did what they wanted anyway which is why people left reddit in the first place.
Second, it’s not convenient to just close a community without anyone’s knowledge and punish the users who don’t want to move so suddenly.
I get the feeling that you don’t understand that you don’t need to sign up at the other instance to subscribe to the community. You can just click the link and subscribe from your current account, and everything will be as it was.
There’s a reason why I don’t use kbin. Well, two. 1. Kbin federation sucks and is weird as fuck and keeps turning off and on, and 2. Where API, I script the shit out of everything, API pls. Apiiiiiii
I know :) I’m partially kidding. I tried kbin. The UI was too weird for me. That’s actually the main reason I didn’t use it. It felt less customizable. I had a hard time not seeing just the defaults. In fact I’m not sure in all this time I’ve subbed to anything from my kbin acc.
You don’t have to move your account. You can subscribe to the other community on the other instance from your existing account. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse.
Your first point…I’m sorry, it just looks like a classic “strawman”. All I will say is that there are many reasons to leave reddit, but this particular argument fails on a simple premise: # most of the time, users upset with specific mods likely did not leave reddit, but rather just created new subreddits in direct competition. But there is no singular reason to leave reddit; even so, the most popular reason currently is something entirely different.
Second, the community explicitly was not closed; it was relocated. As others have pointed out already, this does not remove or restrict your access in any meaningful way.
Last but not least, there reasons are very clearly and directly communicated. I see no fault with their reasoning, or the action they took.
If you want to check that a machine you’re buying is compatible with Linux, a good place to start is to google how to install drivers for the computer’s components on Linux. Check the common problem areas (WiFi, graphics, sound, etc.) and see if you find lots of other people complaining about those components. If you find evidence that a driver is available, or you can’t seem to find any info either way, it’s probably fine.
I can’t really answer the question you had regarding this site you found, but that is my general strategy for checking Linux hardware compatibility.
Also make sure that the retailer you’re buying from has a reasonable returns policy, just in case you get it, install Linux (or run it from a live USB, to avoid wiping the disk before you know you’re good), and discover something doesn’t work.
I’ve had that song in my regular playlist for years and only learned what the lyrics were about when someone told me. It’s such a banger that I never stopped to actually listen to the words for at least two years lol
That’s the only version I had as a kid, I didn’t even know it was on other systems until years later, and now because of that, every other version feels wrong to me.
To play the devils advocate here, maybe music man has gotten ridiculed before with this question on his music preference. When I’m driving by myself, I’ll fire up youtube and listen to all sorts of random stuff. But I’d never subject my wife to it as I know we don’t share interest in some things.
For sure, dude could have just been more blunt right away about not wanting to share that info (still strange, or maybe just embarrased?). I’ve never used a dating app, so IDK.
I don’t have an answer for that. I’m not saying he handled it right, just trying to come up with some sort of mindset he may have had to respond like this at all.
I’d think it would feel bad having to lie about the music you listen to. Maybe music man is already past denial and in acceptance, just not telling anyone.
Not an ideal in forming relationships. Honestly, as much of a train wreck as his response was, at least it gave some useful information to the person he would potentially be dating.
People don’t respect the Colgate Comedy Hour anymore, this is why we don’t have genius like Paul Bufano or Roy Donkins anymore. Her music collection must be all meat and potatoes.
You’ve presumably had conversations with your wife, though, where you shared, and she wasn’t into it. I dunno, at the least you were, perhaps, honest about not wanting to (or not being comfortable with) sharing.
Furthermore, it’s a song and she asked. No one is being subjected to anything. No one has to listen to the song named, or, if they do, even finish the song.
Unfortunately I was young, dumb and unlucky in love, so I put up with that BS for way too long. My advice to anyone in that position is definitely don't put up with it because you're worth more than the love these kinds of people give. A healthy relationship is built on mutual love and respect. You need to give it, but you also deserve it in return.
That’s the perfect moment to know if someone will ridicule you for your music choices. If it happens, you stop the conversation right there and save yourself the trouble of a awful first date.
Well, even saying that you can’t remember the song because you snorted cocaine out of your adult diaper is better than being a jerk.
My musical taste is cringe and my spouse has known it since we started dating years ago. Never felt the need to hide it from them. Good partners can respect each other’s preferences, so there’s zero need to hide what you enjoy.
That's one of the reasons I was happy to switch to quorn mince, there's little different but less water.
When I ate meat I just used to strain the water out whilst frying it, I had a dedicated glass bowl for it and I'd leave the meat water out fir the foxes so it wouldn't upset my drains.
