This… Might not be as helpful as you think it is… My dad died 6 months ago, and If someone asked me what his name was and then said ‘that’s a nice name’ I’d feel like it was a superficial and bad reaction. My father was a lot of things, and for someone to sum it up in ‘that’s a nice name’ as a form of sympathy would make me pause and struggle to find a response to such a… Simple and child-like reaction. I feel like that’s a response you could maybe get away with people’s pets, but not a human loved one.

Ahh , case in point, downvoters to the rescue.

Yup, yup. Really sick of having to defend a fact that a color is red, because someone else calls it magenta and now I have to go back and explain color theory and try to have an airtight persuasive argument to ‘win’ for something as obvious as a color… Or Trump…

I’ve experiences this on Lemmy and have blocked some instance, but probably just gonna give up on Lemmy too. I think I’m over talking to people (or bots? Who knows…) on the internet. It’s all bullshit anyway, politics, memes, advertising, blah, blah that doesn’t actually provide any meaning or positive things to my life. I was a passive observer of the internet for a long time before getting more active on reddit, and then Lemmy. I’m so tired of having to defend my opinions and people trying to start arguments out of nothing, and I don’t care enough to research political shit to provide a truly airtight argument before someone tears it apart, or whatever else other fight someone is trying to start on any given day. At one point I was arguing about something with someone, and we both had the same position: “Trump is bad”, but for some reason they were really going after me, even though we’re on the same side, because i was consuming “too much conspiracy news” thinking that the 2024 election was gonna get violent from Trump’s supporters. Really just over the social aspect of the internet in general, to be honest.

Huh, always thought it was the other way around that Yuzu was fully open sourced. TIL

I’ve been paying for Prime Video and Netflix and watch them through a HTPC hooked up to my TV with a user agent switcher extension in Firefox to trick the sites into thinking I’m on ChromeOS, so I can get somewhat near 720 or 1080p… Just started sailing the seas, and seeing content in 4K, was jaw dropping. I’ve known the difference, but I just forgot because I will never be served 4K, much less 1080p as long as I’m on Linux.

Also I could see what the fuck was happening in dark scenes like horror movies because it didn’t have Netflix’s shitty data compression showing me large moving grey blocks as the background of a horror movie.

I guess I should have capitalized the R.

Unexpected (…but Expected) rage

Lol based on what you just said, you probably won’t like it. It’s learning tidbit facts about random stuff, its not explaining geopolitical history to explain why the world is currently as shitty as it is or anything like that.
