Lol, I have come to the conclusion that I want less of whatever this is. Here’s your medal for winning whatever debate you thought we were having. 🏅

I mean, I’m not calling for a police state to shut down cake day or something. Just saying cake day was a shallow activity imo. People can choose to do whatever they want, but I would rather us think about what was actually valuable about reddit rather than just importing whatever preexisting culture there was.

You’re getting a lot of retorts in response to your comment, but I 100% agree. Sure telling people happy cake day is fun the first few times, but it inevitably just becomes stale. One of the things that made reddit not enjoyable was people parroting the same phrases all over the site.

I hug my guy friends when I haven’t seen them in a while (e.g. my friends who live far away). Snuggling is super weird, and I don’t know of any guys who have done that. Feels like if I did, my wife would not be very happy. Affectionate fighting seems just over the top. Seems like something limited to children and movies.

I think the amount of physical affection I get from other men is fine. Don’t really need more

I would argue that it is better to have two separate drives for the installation. It simplifies things for non tech savvy people, and I believe Windows has less of an opportunity to mess with your linux install, such as messing with the efi partition.

Personally I do not let internet trends affect my behavior out in the real world. Why is that? Because if I use the term “short king” anywhere in the real world, 99% of people won’t know what I’m talking about. Until you hear a real person say it (that means not on lemmy, not on twitter, not on dating apps, etc. or people you meet through these platforms) you can assume that there is no real impact to be had there. I think we give way too much credit to the internet for affecting real life trends. Most people don’t care about these cute terminologies people come up with, and neither should you. The term was made to get someone attention, not to make short people feel better.

Ctrl + Shift + - should decrease the font size of the current terminal, which isn’t what you are looking for, but could be useful while you sort it out. Is it possible that the font in the config doesn’t exist, causing this issue?

What happens when the defaults change? Is old code all of a sudden not following the style guidelines?

Probably because depending on the context “Christians” is likely referring to “Protestants.” There are some very significant differences between Catholic and Protestant Christianity, moreso than between Protestant denominations, whose differences tend to be a bit more trivial. Other comments make some good points, but it is not too far of a stretch to say that Catholicism may be different enough to be considered a separate religion (I don’t know who gets to draw these lines). But in the most technical sense, yes, Catholics are a subset of Christians.

I use it in Japanese curry all the time. The goal is not to make it taste like coffee, but add a bit more boldness.

Feels like you should use cocoa powder or instant coffee/espresso instead. Seems like you’re trying to add bitterness, but the fact that the chocolate you are adding also has sugar, it is making things more challenging to balance.

I’ve had similar issues, but with a 7800XT and only with variable refresh rate enabled. Don’t know if that is caused by the same thing though

The only practical purpose of such a cluster is educational purposes. Clusters as a whole are only useful for academics and researchers, so once you get into clusters using old hardware you’re essentially only building the cluster for the sake of the challenge.

AUR is also not supported on Arch, so support has nothing to do with it.

Can you give an example? I know that some people have a hard time with the strong smells, but I honestly have never heard it made fun of in any demeaning way. Maybe at worst a character has a bad time on a toilet due to the Indian food being so spicy, but I can’t think of how it would be made fun of. Seems well loved here in the States in my experience.

This doesn’t work when an important part of the process is making sure your data is actually good. If the data is proprietary, there is no way to make sure it is usable.

TBH the longer you wait, the more you aren’t going to want to do it. Depends on who you are as a person, but if you working toward getting married and havinf kids, then doing a PhD is going to feel like a truckload of extra responsibility that really isn’t worth it. The only reason I am doing my now is that it gave me an excuse to leave my previous residence, but I was in a really stable place making plenty of money. That is a hard thing to give up.

Also usually you get a PhD because you want a specific job. If you want to do it to learn, it is a mistake most of the time. You want to be setting up your post-degree career sooner than later, because your pre-degree career is likely not going to count for much after the first few years.

the 100% pay cut

The only people who choose to get a PhD without receiving a stipend are either stupid or wealthy. Don’t get me wrong, in the US you make very little as a PhD student, but not a 100% pay cut. Most students are not working for free.

I mean, all of those communities are for cheap consumption of content. There’s a difference between wanting to discuss food and wanting to see and endless feed of bacon cheddar loaded fries.

TBH, I think I dislike it only slightly less than reddit. Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of the fediverse and what not. However, I see a lot of posts around here saying that lemmy is so much better than reddit, but I don’t necessarily agree. Culturally I see a lot of the same behavior between the two. The main difference is there are a lot less “Facebook-like” posts and way more tech nerd-centric opinions. I would even argue that there is a lack of cultural balance. Like most of the people here are extremists in one way or the other (this includes me), and there are less “normal” people. I think this is probably what some of the users here actually want because they thirst for the “good ol’ days” of forums before some of nerd culture leaked into the mainstream, but I’m not sure it’s my cup of tea. Furthermore something that is sort of both a feature and a downside is that there is way less content here for obvious reasons. It’s nice not to have an endless feed, but again, due to cultural imbalance, there isn’t much variety. I love using linux, but I don’t know if I care to have my feed engulfed by it. I’m not sure if the time I spend in Lemmy is really a net positive, just like how reddit felt. I’d say the most positive aspect of reddit was I could subscribe to a city specific subreddit and actually get news and info that is useful to my day to day life, whereas the info here is just useful for keeping me in my house or absorbed in work.

Please do not tell me to suck it up and contribute my own content. The point of this comment is not to get the community to “fix” lemmy for me but simply to relay an observation.
