  • Alright, absolute noob here, I’m not particularly interested in computer science or an OS I have to obsessively research. First, how is gaming on Linux nowadays? I play a lot of games, most of which are not triple-A, so I wonder how accessible this is. Second, what distributions are accessible and still customizable? I have all kinds of peripherals I’d like to be able to use, speaker systems, midi controllers, etc.

    got really tired of the “-core” haters, they seem to get upset only at the naming convention because hardcore influences often make a subgenre even heavier

    like have you ever heard of mathcore?? that shits peak, its one of the noisiest subgenres i know AND it has hardcore influence

    gatekeepers can stay mad



  • id argue a police officers job is hard in a police state as well,

    i of course agree with acab but i also think its worth empathizing with officers whose mental health has been ruined by their training (see That Dang Dad on youtube who WAS a police officer and still experiences the pain of his “training”). theyre trained to be afraid and see danger everywhere, which is fucked, and as such being a police officer is not a job with 0 drawbacks. we all hate police, i sure as hell do, but no one should be trained to live in permanent fear, seeing murderers in everyone.

    fun fact for the future: someone being suicidal is not your problem and you should not try to help beyond referring them to helpful resources

    theres a reason mental health professionals are PROFESSIONALS and not just random kind people

    you are (likely) not trained to handle this situatuon and thus should not engage in this lest you experience real trauma or worsen the other persons situation

    so do not kill yourself in the process of trying to be the sole force stopping them

    edit: felt the need to add if someone you know is experiencing suicidality, oftentimes the best and safest choice is just to make plans

    suicidality is, in the majority of cases, spurred by short-term issues making people feel trapped in their current situation

    so plan things with them! plan going out to a concert or restaurant! plan how they can enjoy life in the future!

    this is something i feel VERY strongly about because of my own past experiences with feeling the need to “negotiate”

    keep in mind im not saying you cant just talk about life with people expressing these ideas, just make sure the conversation doesnt turn into a “negotiation”

    ty for reading my long ass comment thats indirectly about my own experiences i love all of you lemmings kthxbye <3



  • I’m not sure I’ve seen this take expressed here before… but here I go. I think the thing I appreciate about Lemmy is that it isn’t absurdly active. Before my switch to Lemmy (from Reddit ofc), I was compulsively checking Reddit for new content every 20 minutes, even taking priority over hyperfixations of mine. I like that there isn’t new content every 20 minutes. It’s like checking your fridge every 20 minutes for new food, and Reddit just keeps feeding you until you’re upset. This place feels like it “restocks” every day so that I don’t feel the need to check it obsessively. It’s improved my relationship with social media entirely. My only issue is the amount of bait, not just in the form of trolls but people riling themselves and others up with politics. I get it, I’m extremely far left too, but god if I come here in hopes of being less anxious I always see something that feels designed to make me angry. It’s less than Reddit but we could all work on considering if engaging is worth it. Learn to appreciate boredom and understimulation and it will change your life, especially those of you like me with an anxiety disorder.

    sorry for the tangent, tl;dr less content actually makes me less anxious and more comfortable and we should learn to appreciate the boredom that comes with that
