Virtual Insanity

I’m trying to be as gentle and understanding of her as possible but it all comes down to her having issues with immaturity around relationships and trust issues.

First she went looking for trouble by stalking. Then she found media if your previous relationship by accident. Then she refuses to participate in healthy and reasonable discussion.

I’m trying to find a way that she’s not at fault, but this is all her fault.

You are allowed to have had a life prior to meeting her, just as she’s allowed to have had a life before you.

You will also have a life after each other.

If she can’t put her big girl pants on and discuss an issue between immediately and 24 hours then that’s bad behaviour on her part.

Far as I can see she’s not yet mature enough to be in a relationship, and that’s on her.

I don’t know what you held back when she asked about your previous relationship, it might have been things that you’re very much entitled to hold back… it not. You may or may not owe an apology for this, but she sure owes you an apology for her shitty behaviour.

This, very very much.

I can’t code for shit, but am willing to put some time and effort into FOSS.

But I’m not sure what’s needed, or where is needed.

Have these projects ever considered just asking for the help they need?

Your reply to me makes no sense?

I condem cheap laptops yet you write as if I didn’t?

All it has to do is affect one person that needs that feature and it’s a no go for that person.

It is rare for me but it is still an issue.

Formatting being broken is an even worse issue and happens far too often.

If I had a dollar for everytime someone said Linux isn’t bad now is be living on Mars.

What you’re really saying is your needs are simple and you’ve managed to get what you need.

This does not translate to everyone as others might have more complex needs than you.

TrackIR is still a nightmare on Linux, and searching for help with that reveals about 10 situations where no one got a good result and one person who seemingly got lucky.

Another issue is MS Office. Formatting and macros get broken by FOSS alternatives so don’t even go there.

There are at least a dozen more issues (NVIDIA, difficult hardware etc …).

Suffice to say everytime someone pops up saying it works now just starts looking silly.

Until we get native support and better documentation and testing Linux is still an outlier for anything more than basic productivity or gaming in a bubble.

E series at the right price is alright too.

X and T are always nicer, but more expensive.

Really gotta stay away from IdeaPad, they’re the true rubbish.

I’ve had terrible experiences with all brands bar ThinkPad.

ThinkPad specifically too, IdeaPad, and Legion are consumer garbage.

Anything to qualify that statement or just taking a shot? Who offers better value machines than Lenovo?

Great…

When can we play Zelda on PC?

Fuck Nintendo getting ports handed to them and giving zero back.

Spoiled by the app store?

This is the same price as a windows 11 licence.

What is so app store about that?

Webster dictionary…

‘arousing feelings of affection or admiration’

I’ve never considered the term to be only for children.

Same issue here, and I know a few people that have it on most cases LCD, not OLED, but I funny think that’s relevant.

The mechanism for turning a display off is to simply stop sending a signal.

There was a time when I cared more and actually did into it and windows 10 and 11 do have issues going into standby in in some configurations, with some hardware.

I once pinned down a console command that could actually tell you (cryptically of course) what things were going on that prevented standby or sleep.

Comes as no surprise that Linux does this better… But sadly I’m my case I couldn’t use Linux.

Came here intending to post about this. When you have a few accounts it gets tricky. Looks really strange to my church group when they see me saying how pretty a naked lady looks.

I also see it and agree with your theory.

If that is the case it would be nicer if it could be handled better.

I’m pretty good with batteries, but I don’t know if I understand the issue.

Isn’t the keyboard already rechargeable? If so then why isn’t charging it an option?

What are you using the keyboard with? How does that device get power?

Is recharging or using a power bank absolutely out of the question?

Are you looking for a temporary, semi permanent or permanent solution?

Are you strictly limited to common convenience batteries? How about slightly uncommon batteries like cr123?

So here I am near Melbourne Australia… Scrolling Lemmy at 11:08pm with my girlfriend drifting off to sleep next to me and I see this and think… The more I look at her the prettier she gets… I nudge my gf and say you need to see this. She says “is it a cat?” I say “yeah”. She rolls over and I hold the phone over her face and she literally says out loud.

“Awww; the more you look at her the prettier she gets”

Did anyone else think this?

OP… enjoy your companion!

Hello self hosted person.

Gonna guess Libre ? I think it’s French for freedom or something. CBF looking it up. I’m currently sleeping.

What… No one new is allowed to see something aggregated in a new platform and/or at a newer time?

Because fuck me if I never saw it first time around?

Sorry mate but I’m going to have to give you the old Aussie “yeah… nah…”

Why not?
