Barry Zuckerkorn ( @BarryZuckerkorn@beehaw.org ) 16•3 months agoIt’s the meme format:
“Men will literally (something) but not go to therapy”
People who use it don’t necessarily endorse the original view, but are making fun of it.
Soleil ( @ethd@beehaw.org ) 23•3 months agoI think their joke was that Thinkpad Arch users (at least online) have a strong correlation with trans women
What?

apotheotic(she/they) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English4•3 months agoOh don’t worry I know - I was implying that there’s a heavy correlation between Thinkpad Arch users and trans girls, at least online. See !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Was difficult to understand that I have to boot via legacy bios in order for the nvidia grafic to work… But after installing grub2 via CDrom I had i done ✅ now I can boot any iso from using grub2 and don’t have to relay on CD rom anymore 🥳 Next will be a 2013 MacBookPro (with nvidia as well), as soon as my motor buys her m3 MacBookPro

folkrav ( @folkrav@lemmy.ca ) 8•3 months agoI mean, tone does have to do with how you use a language 🗣️ and symbols to communicate, and the emojis in the middle ➡️❎⬅️ of sentences and how many there are in relation to the amount of sentences 💬 do make it kind of read like a copypasta ©️🍝

Bigoldmustard ( @Bigoldmustard@lemmy.zip ) 25•3 months agoI tried buying a used thinkpad and putting Linux on it, but then it stopped charging correctly after 2 weeks. So I went back on adhd meds and got a new job and turned my life around.
SturgiesYrFase ( @SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml ) 9•3 months agoBy turn your life around you mean bought a new Think pad and put Arch on it, right?
flashgnash ( @flashgnash@lemm.ee ) 9•3 months agoHonestly I thought I was doing good for my technical knowledge by playing with Linux and it has helped but there comes a point where I hit a plateau with that and now I just end up endlessly tweaking and just wasting time on it
lightnsfw ( @lightnsfw@reddthat.com ) 25•3 months agoTherapy is expensive, I’d have to make appointments, leave my home during my free time, talk about myself to someone, and probably won’t help because my problems are external. No thanks.
Buying a new laptop and installing an OS is a relatively simple and inexpensive process that is actually rewarding.
ChaoticNeutralCzech ( @ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de ) 19•3 months agoTherapy actually often helps with external problems too. If you tried another therapist every time you installed a distro, you might have found one that can solve your problems.
lightnsfw ( @lightnsfw@reddthat.com ) 12•3 months agoOkay so multiply all the other problems I listed by how many therapists I have to try and no they can’t solve my problems unless they’re gonna buy me a house or pay off my debts or something so I can actually get ahead financially.

reddit_sux ( @reddit_sux@iusearchlinux.fyi ) 6•3 months agoI think it is more about rage control than about loving or hating oneself. Like stopping yourself from chucking the laptop halfway across the room when it doesn’t boot because you misspelled a variable in a config file.

Eyck_of_denesle ( @Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip ) 4•3 months agoSomeone was saying in a linux hate post yesterday that linux is not viable for beginners because it is not easy to install arch linux on a vm on their old macbook. Lmao
pukeko ( @pukeko@lemm.ee ) English3•3 months agoMy kid (not even a teenager) uses Linux daily. And not in a coy “he’s using a chromebook” way. He’s using full-blown NixOS on a laptop I set up for him. Could he have set it up? No, but he’s a child. Has day to day use presented him with any difficulties whatsoever? Nope. He figured out gnome purely by instinct in a day. He goes between macos and windows and linux effortlessly, because he’s a reasonably intelligent human being.
But, yes, half the time the “linux is hard” crowd seem to be basing their evaluation on things you would rarely do on a mac or windows machine. These days, install Mint, Fedora, or, hell, even Nixos or Endeavor, choose the defaults, and you will very likely have a perfectly usable, intuitive system.

pukeko ( @pukeko@lemm.ee ) English2•3 months agoThe real thing. https://github.com/tpwrules/nixos-apple-silicon/
I wouldn’t say it’s something anyone can do (no graphical installer and updating is a bit manual) and it’s all dependent on the Asahi folks, bless them, but it took me about 20 minutes, other than whipping up a machine-specific configuration.nix and home.nix (about 20 more minutes on either side of the installation). All of the instructions were clear, though I will warn that some of them are not well presented in that there are instructions that should be bullet points that are stuffed into paragraphs. Nothing remotely exotic though–that’s all in the Asahi stuff that is wonderfully hidden from the view.

smb ( @smb@lemmy.ml ) English10•3 months agowoman would take care for a literal horse instead of going to therapy. i don’t see anything wrong there either.
just a horse is way more expensive, cannot be put aside for a week on vacations (could a notebook be put aside?) and one cannot make backups of horses or carry them with you when visiting friends. Horses are way more cute, though.
tal ( @tal@lemmy.today ) English5•3 months agoor carry them with you when visiting friends.
