The people who gave up because they couldn’t solve their issues aren’t posting either.
Yep. Very common.
A lot of people use their pc like a console or media server. Ie. use it to watch/play stuff from their bed or couch.
Sometimes I wear headphones/earbuds without the music on, just to drown at the noise.
Get ones that isolate noise well.

This is a sensitive subject, but that’s partly changed thanks to drugs like Truvada and PrEP.
You can now have sex with someone who has HIV and still not contract it. People are having more unprotected sex, safe in the knowledge that they’re on PrEP and they basically can’t contract HIV anymore. Hell, AFAIK you can even take a large dose of PrEP or Truvada AFTER you’ve had risky sex. This is great news. Not having safe sex isn’t. It’s a problem in the gay community.
Important caveat: apparently people are also getting tested more often exactly because HIV is now far more treatable or preventable, which means doctors are diagnosing cases of syphilis which would otherwise have gone undetected (syphillis can often be asymptomatic until it starts causing serious damage):

Canada has mandatory screening (and treatment) of migrants. AFAIK the US doesn’t but 96% choose to be screened anyway.
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/ss/ss7102a1.htm
This isn’t a migrant issue. It’s a homegrown issue. (And if you want to blame foreigners, US citizens seem like a more likely culprit given skyrocketing US rates of infection and poor health care availiability/affordability)
Also, there is no vaccine against syphilis.
A lot of this is reckless sexual behaviour. It’s incredibly frustrating, because one of the medications used to treat syphilis is now in short demand globally. This medication is also used to treat other (potentially fatal) infections. In other words, through no fault of their own people will (or likely already have) died due to people not practising safe sex.
It’s easy to blame people on tinder, but sex education and poor healthcare are just as much to blame.
For example, syphillis is often spread orally. I don’t know many people who would wear a condom to give someone a BJ, even if it’s a random hookup with someone whose sexual history they don’t know.
That’s not really a choice you can make. Also idiots don’t know they’re idiots.
Rice absorbs moisture. The moisture might make it more conductive.
I sounds like you don’t actually dislike wayland, but fanboys and toxicity. TBH the linux community is full of that kind of crap.
Imagine if we were all as weird about toasters, having arguments about how toaster brand X was so much better than toaster brand Y.
But luckily people don’t give much of a shit about toasters, as long as they work.
Unfortunately IME it’s a no go if you’re using banking or government/authenticator apps. (Your mileage may vary and this may change.)
Not how it should be, but how it is.
When I bought my phone a few years ago, motorola offered one with relatively stock android, no forced install of facebook or whatever, several years of (timely) android updates, and a large battery. A few years down the line, I’m still getting updates and the battery still lasts days.
And it was plastic and came with a cover, so it’s survived the occasional fall just fine.
Honestly don’t get why you’d spend more on something that can so easily be stolen.

More David Lynch Dune than Denis Villeneuve Dune.
Great news to be honest. I hope disney sees a similar spike in profits so they can make more great shows for me to pirate.
Look, no hate, but I always find these kinds of comments funny because I’ve been reading them for over twenty years.
It’s not going to happen, certainly not in any significant numbers.
Hell, look at the fediverse. The vast majority of internet users find signing up to mastodon hard, let alone lemmy. How the hell are these people supposed to install linux, for example when they follow many an ‘easy’ linux installation guide, but then find Rufus isn’t able to create a bootable USB stick in fat32? How are they supposed to verify their data, or hell change the bios settings when the guide they read gives them the wrong key to press to enter the bios? And then if by some miracle they do manage to install linux, you expect them to move away from all the apps they’ve grown used to? They’ll try to install MS office on linux and blame this not working on linux.
TLDR: Gretchen! Stop trying to make mass linux adoption happen! It’s not going to happen!
You asked for candidness.
People who feel threatened by you (I assume mostly women) are probably just racist or scared because you’re a man. It’s not your face. Plastic surgery won’t change that.
This being said, I’m a much bigger guy than you and also scare people. I am bigger than them, so it’s understandable. Smile at people, even if it’s fake, so they know you’re not a threat. Say good afternoon, or whatever. I try to dress smartly, wear bright colours, etc. Wear a shirt with an artist print on it, wear a t-shirt from a college, a jazz related print. The black beanie and black coat combo isn’t doing you any favours. That’s not much better than a striped suit and a balaclava. The world’s a stage, we’re all actors. I learnt to act non-threatening, working in customer service.
If you want to do something about your face, consider getting ear studs or something like that. Or do a Tupac and get a nose stud. Not that I think that’s the route you should be going. Clothing will help you far more.
e: and not that it’ll help you much, but bro hug over the internet. This shit’s rough and it’s obvious it’s really affected you. But don’t go hating yourself. You’re not ugly, you seem like a nice dude.
Meh. Lime mortar absorbs and releases moisture. IRC “Roman” lime concrete is much the same.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan, but that kind of thing isn’t compatible with modern insulation. You end up with damp and mould issues in the walls.
Sure it works great in uninsulated stuff though. But people and governments want every room in a building to be insulated nowadays. The whole one warm room, the rest of the building is cold and you’d better wear a three piece suit or heavy wool jumper thing, is abhorrent to our spoiled western arses.
Also: the Romans didn’t build their buildings that high. AFAIK Lime concrete has lower tensile and compressive strength, which is an issue with high rise buildings.
