  • I didn't get defensive. I was suggesting that saying "Americans listen to him" is a pointless generalization. Okay, so Americans are the ones who pay the most attention to someone who is a government official in America. Okay. Plenty of uninformed, non-scientific people elsewhere too. So I don't know what your point about that was.

    RFK's ideas are not very novel and there are many people who champion those lines of thoughts besides him. He is not influential.

  • Ok... why do you think that would "hurt" me? I'm not aware the US kinda sucks.

    I don't think anyone is really listening to him, smart or not.

  • That sounds about right.

  • Seems the most likely to me.

  • I was a little far away for that and definitely felt something impact me.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Machine gun that shoots paper bullets?

  • Well, as an American, I don't. And I feel like there are stupid and deluded people in other countries as well

  • Who the fuck would look or listen to this shuffling zombie of a person and think he knows anything about how to be healthy?

  • okay, thanks. So posting general things. I guess I haven't noticed... I mainly browse by New for variety.

  • Who or what is VetOfTheSeas?

  • Please don’t turn Arizona red with embarrassment

  • Christian holidays are mostly proxies for natural holidays. As in, winter solstice, spring equinox, so on.

  • I pretty much hate holidays. Places are either closed all day, close early, or are packed, and a holiday does nothing for me at all.

  • Seems kind of drastic. In my experience, most people who have a problem with MacOS are simply not devoting enough effort to learning to use it. I was used to switching between Windows and every single desktop environment and window manager imaginable for Linux so using a Mac has never been remotely difficult or stressful for me. It's a hell of a lot more familiar than Windows given that it has a real terminal.

  • Finder? I don’t really have a problem with it. I feel like it’s just as full featured as what you get on Lennox or windows.

  • Not quite. They’ve tried to adapt some iOS stuff to Mac now that iOS is by farther bigger operating system, but Max are at the core Unix, and you can access everything. You have a zsh shell and can do whatever you want with it. For instance if you get sick of the music app opening, just go remove the x flag from the executable. Can’t do that on an iPad. It’s really quite a capable desktop operating system and after using Linux for 15 years, I decided that I was tired of spending six days a year trying to configure my sound card and I’ve been pretty happy with a MacBook.

  • I spent about a decade and a half using solely Linux, and one thing I really appreciate is that if a particular distro or upgrade had some behavior I didn’t like, I could just switch to a different desktop or window manager. I went back and forth between gnome, windowmaker, KDE, LXDE and so on many times.

  • “I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life. This just isn’t the Wyoming I knew or thought I knew.”

    Dude, the fucking murder of Matthew Shephard happened in Wyoming. Just shut the fuck up. If I was to pick a state I would expect to be filled with homophobic people, Wyoming would be in the top five.

  • The scroll thing is annoying. I like the “natural” scroll on a touchpad but not a mouse also.

    The multi desktop is the same as on Windows and Linux… I don’t use it on any system. I like how MacOS handles fullscreen apps better than either of those.

    You can disable the startup sound very easily: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102230

    I have only used mirroring to external monitor and not extending a desktop, so I don’t know. As far as maximization I personally hate windows expanding when I move them to the top of the screen. It’s rarely what I want so I turn it off. If I want to maximize it, I hit the green button.

    You uninstall Apps by dragging their folder from the Applications folder to the trash can.

    Closing the window and leaving the application running is how MacOS has worked forever for some Steve Jobs reason. I am used to hitting Cmd-Q.

    The folder stuff can be weird. The way the Desktop icons work is one of the worst aspects, thigh they kind of fixed that (using expanding smart folders or whatever used to be chaos if they had a lot of items in them).

    You can check the usage of a Volume from right clicking it in Finder and choosing Get Info. Or just df -h

    Saw some Clamato at the store

    I’m almost halfway through my case of canned green beans

    I walked outside and owls were hooting. Why do they hoot?
