  • All my life I never saved tabs and everytime I closed the browser I would open it again with just the home oage. Then about a year ago I downloaded Zen Browser and I really liked the tab management that came with it. I created some profiles and folders to organize the tabs in so now I have maybe 20-30 tabs always open, but they are almost always used regularly. I might have 5 for my school. 5 for torrenting/hosting. A few for music related things, gaming, etc. It’s very organized and basically replaces the need for a custom html homepage.

    Where I live all the grass in peoples yards are not native and would absolutely die without constant upkeep by humans. I really don’t understand the point. I get that it looks neat and upholds the aesthetic of luxury yards, but I’ve never thought natural foilage was ugly and never understood why it was unwanted by people. The picture perfect at grass lawns are very uninviting for people to actually walk around on. At that point it’s basically the equivalent of putting plastic on all your furniture and telling guests not to sit on it




  • I take notes for my classes using CherryTree. My school lost their liscense with MultiSim, so now I use KiCad on my laptop. I know next to nothing about it, but it’s been fun learning it. If I have to write a report for school I use LibreOffice instead of Microsoft Word. There’s no learning curve, they are nearly identical programs. I bought my laptop with Windows 10 installed but it runs much faster now with Mint.



  • No doubt. I wasn’t trying to imply that either one is useless, but things change and new technology takes over. Another person replied to me comparing cursive and typing on a computer. I catch myself thinking that new generations are at a disadvantage because they don’t learn the same things I did. But it may not always be necessary that they do. I am of the computer typing generation. I didn’t learn to write beautiful cursive, but my life hasn’t been negatively impacted even though many people have expressed sympathy for my awful education. I was just trying to say I think it’s a rather normal thing for old systems to get phased out of a classroom from time to time. It’s not really a good reason to believe that younger generations are doomed. But like I said I fall into that line of thinking myself from time to time.






  • Its even more mind blowing if you read the book. There are a lot more stupid things he does like becoming a wrestler, and an astronaut who goes on a mission in space with a baboon that he can speak with telepathically. They crash land on an uncharted island full of cannibals and they will only let him escape with their lives he he beats them at a game of chess. For whatever reason he has unlimited tries and after several years finally wins a game of chess, so they send him and his baboon on a raft and they eventually get found.

    Obviously these things very fortunately didn’t make it into the movie, but it’s super weird to me that someone read all of that and was inspired to make it into a movie anyway. Somehow it was actually a very good movie too.


  • I’m not saying you’re wrong but I think it is interesting that your interpretation of the meme is that it is a joke against the people being targeted by ICE while I immediately thought the meme was about how brain dead ICE officers are that they would target a dog simply because it had a sombrero on. I have no idea what the OP’s intention was when making the meme. Maybe I just made my assumption based on the fact that this was shared on Lemmy which is overwhelmingly against ICE. If I saw this shared by a conservative person I would more than likely share you sentiment though.
