Is that a vape?

That did not work, also tried to reinstall gnome-software and reboot after removing, It persists.

Thanks for trying, lmk if you have any other ideas

my guess is that gnome-sofware is reading a list of applications from somewhere and a placeholder/uninstalled app is being read into this list. but im looking everywhere, no luck.

Yes, and it’s plugged in!

Ill try that, great suggestion

So would silicon be subject to the same fossilization process as bones? Or whould it have a simmilar decay to cartilage?

Whys it muted?

I used to not like it too. But then I actually worked in a setting where everyones personality clashes in really stupid ways. People take it too seriously, Horrible jokes/pranks, nepotism, work relationships, nerds, psychos, OCD, and so on. Its such an accurate take on “I hate it here but everyday is a trip”.

Just like real life after the awkward getting to know everyone phase, the series starts to make you really care about these Idiots. The show is very self aware and the cringe you feel, is the same feeling you get being a new guy in a room full of randoms who are all just “trying” to get along.

if you dont like the american one, Id recommend the british version. I understand if its still not your thing, and it is a huge time investment. Id say its worth it, LOTS of people like the show, so its a good topic to bring up, or even put on in the background.

Yeah! great read if you have the time. It can be used to explain alot of things since its a very open take on going from a state of ignorance or naivety to “seeing the light”. I think its an important read, since people still in the “cave” are hard if not impossible to “convince” with such a limited perspective on reality.

I further interpret this to mean If we want to pull our fellow man out of the cave, we have to help change their perspective and meet them where they are in their journey out.

As someone who is likely on the spectrum, they can tell you are… off, in some way. I think we trigger some sort of anti-sociopath response in people that just makes everyone who doesnt take the time to know you, just feel uneasy. Coupled with the fact that we are anti-social. Theyre going to get the feeling like you intend harm, emotionally or physically.

People have litterally told me, “I thought you hated me” or “youre allright, I thought you were an asshole”. The reality is I do not want to be here and Id rather be anywhere else. Coworkers try to “break up the routine” and have a chat. But when my schedule is thrown off, i go home later, I eat later, I have less me time, I sleep less, and I blame them.

All that being said, Ive come to realize that being “in tune” with coworkers IS part of any job. You dont have to like them, but smiling at them, holding doors, offering help, making jokes, and being generally upbeat improves overall efficiency. It takes no time at all, and It will keep people from feeling like they need to "confront"you to get a feel for who you are. Its stupid but its how they feel “safe”.

If youre busy, politely dismiss conversations and move on. If you cant thats on you, If they get upset/pushy its on them. For being more friendly, I find that watching TV shows about social groups and structure helps alot. Personal favorites include “The Good Place”, “Community”, “Star Trek”, “Golden Girls”. I cant think of more off the top, but maybe lemmy can help add some that resonate with you.

“The allegory of the cave” Is another great example!

Its a fight against corps and bad actors. Why attack potential allies? Genuinely hate people like you. you arent better than these people, get a grip.

Thats a pokemon

I think they were saying that, with the google pixel reference in the post. Graphene also has issues, certain apps and services flat out dont work, Its not for everyone. but it is infinitely better than stock imo.

Any place asking me to scan a QR for a menu, or need an app for parking probably wasnt worth it to begin with. Yes practicing privacy is not going to “feel” good thats exactly what they want. Just keep fighting back where you can, Make it as unlikely as possible for them to get what they want.

Every person In this comment section has leaks in their system. Unless they are some data security expert, theres simply no way to get by without being “exposed” at some point.

Keep up the good fight. Its worth it. Your eyes and your data are the new currency. Keep their hands off it.

Edit: there is alot of good info in this comment section people should upvote & downvote this post to balance it into being “contraversial” to get more eyes on it. Simply downvoting someone with a “bad take” Is imo unproductive.

This reminds me of growing up with my older and younger sibiling, when my younger sib started swearing they had to get a feel for when It was necessary. Me and the older would just look at them with an eyebrow up when theyd swear in situations that did not call for it.

I feel like when someone cant talk without using swears and they are just filler words. censor them why not? Ive seen southpark and metalocolypse referenced and those are good examples of what i mean. If the swears arent necessary to convey the message then they were useless to begin with, and as you said we allready pretty much know what they were from context, I find this pretty funny aswell since it chops up what they are trying to say.

I feel the same way here on lemmy or on youtube etc. If youre a person who swears alot and it has “lost all meaning” just censor it to reach a wider audience. Some people just dont want to hear/read that type of vulgarity and it might even be an issue if there are children in the room or over their shoulder.

This is the pond. Its a nice pond. Moving on.

It is a good anime but Its been out for years and maybe if they keep seeing it referenced theyll get around to watching it. The episode in question is basically filler and doesnt provide much to the overarching story

Interested if you have an article or video you are referencing here, would love to read/watch

Probably, but im more concerned with archiving the years of information being poured into the platform.
