The healthiest relationships stem from natural friendships because you build up a base of stuff in common and have a lot of trust before you ever make the jump to “do you wanna go out with me?”

See, that’s where I fucked up. My dumbass texted her at 12AM and asked if she wanted to hang out the next day (She’s usually up around that time, we both goto the gym around 11PM, which is why I thought it was okay). But we had only talked around 4-5 times, each conversation we had was good, but when it comes to texting, I fail miserably there. I think I just got too excited to meet her, and was a bit too forward. I completely messed up. Well, now I know not to do that again at least, lesson learned :(

I have to be honest, this made my day

lemmylem OP , 2 months ago to asklemmy in Advice on finding a partner?

Speaking of Linux, where can I find a woman who’s into that? Defcon?

lemmylem OP , 2 months ago to asklemmy in Advice on finding a partner?

Didn’t mean it like that. The girl I just talked to came to me first. I really don’t expect every girl to come of me but you’re right regardless. I just was a bit sad.

lemmylem , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) to asklemmy in Did you choose for Linux for freedom or ...

Yes, I install Libreboot myself with a RaspberryPi and Pomona 5250 testing clip. Anything that’s already supported by Coreboot, can be supported to Libreboot. They have a list of hardware that they currently support listed here:

libreboot.org/docs/hardware/#supported-hardware

I actually sold Libreboot laptops previously on eBay, I used to sell the T440p a lot. Now, I’m about to setup my own website so I can start selling them for even cheaper. I also helped add Libreboot support for the Dell Optiplex 9020/7020 (Real thanks goto Mate Kukri, as I used his Optiplex port from Coreboot).

lemmylem OP , 3 months ago to asklemmy in What do you think will happen if we don't pass the aid for Ukraine?

You right, my bad bro

lemmylem , 3 months ago to asklemmy in What do you think about the idea that we're in a simulation?

Exactly, it’s not crazy to think like that. I mean, the person who said that could be right, but still, let’s not immediately jump to conclusions by saying they have mental issues.

lemmylem OP , 3 months ago to asklemmy in What do you think will happen if we don't pass the aid for Ukraine?

Well, who else in the world has been trying to a pass multibillion dollar aid package to Ukraine for the past couple months? The aid is about to get voted on this weekend.

U right.

There weren’t any major wars when Trump was in office.

lemmylem , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in And then you get hooked on it and start using it for real

I mean I already get paid for the work I do, I make $55K/year currently. Should I be asking for more?

We’re going to buy the enterprise support plans for Nextcloud and Proxmox. I understand that some specialized knowledge would be needed, but we’re making guides for it where anyone can do it (guides for flashing Coreboot, setting up Nextcloud, etc., this will be a guide for my boss for him to look back on). We will test this through slowly and try to see if this is something we can realistically do or not.
