I work in IT and far be it for me to tell you what OS to use on your own computer.
The only thing I want to die right now, is the AI bubble. Just pop already. Holy fuck what a worthless endeavor this has been.

You know we do. I'll keep one on I've for you bud.
That doesn't make it better.
Also chat GPT is hardly a source of good information.
Stop asking chat GPT to do everything and think for yourself.
155 of 340 million Americans voted.
To me, this means that 185 million people, with the exception of a small percentage, didn't care, or was fine with whatever, making them complicit.
In addition to that, 77 million voters, voted for Trump.
So 262 million Americans either voted for Trump or were complicit in the decision that was made by their countrymen. That's a whopping 77% of Americans either asked for this or they were completely fine with it if this was the outcome.
So yeah. There's some Americans, about 23% that tried, at least.... The rest of the Americans are either complicit or wanted this.... And as a Canadian, that 77% is why I'm actively avoiding American made goods, and I will continue to do so, regardless of tariffs, for the next few years.... I'll probably stop around 2029 or so... We'll see how things go from there....
Welcome to the neighborhood bud.
I hope you're having a grand time here in the great white north. We're happy to have you. 🍁
"innocent" people that allowed a fascist to inhabit the Whitehouse.
Whether you voted for him, or you didn't vote, you allowed it to happen.
Those that voted against, you're cool, come up for a beer sometime eh?
I've been meaning to donate to those guys.
I use their site frequently. I love it, and it can't be cheap to keep that stuff online.
Fair enough. Hopefully I have better luck.
Take care of yourself and be safe out there.
From a neutral viewpoint, the world is more divided than ever, no matter what values you have, there's someone who opposes them with few, if any exceptions. Those opposing viewpoints have only grown in strength and number on the Internet, for years.
Additionally, the "us vs them" mentality of everyone is blinding them to even understanding why someone would disagree with their viewpoint. Of course that's not everyone, but it's a growing and very loud group.
Political violence is also starting to run rampant. Escalation after escalation. It keeps building.
So in this time of having a global voice, that can reach hundreds of millions of people with a single tweet or comment or thread or post or whatever, and with so much growing hatred among different political groups, it's unsurprising to me that conflict is rising.
Additionally, Lemmy is growing. Not everyone that joins Lemmy will be the same type of person that joined Lemmy after the Reddit API incident. That influx of people had a very similar value set, because they almost all came here from Reddit for the same reason. So there's at least a good amount of overlap in everyone's values.
Over time, more and more diverse people have been joining Lemmy, and it's not surprising that they have differing opinions on a lot of things.
This outcome was pretty much inevitable.
As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's done respectfully and civilly, then disagree. Debate. Try to understand the opposing viewpoint, even if you don't agree with it.
I have one, "the USA".
