I love my Deck.

If you’re interested in higher performance, have a use case for a desktop, are willing to go for used parts you put together yourself; then you could get a really decent performance PC for the price of a Deck.

I’m onboard with this plan.

Lemmy doesn’t have that much content. It is easy to get through relevant content of interest pretty quickly. Then there’s not much point in going back till the next day. I haven’t felt the need to uninstall the app.

The side effects of an amazing technology…but the technology is still amazing. I wouldn’t interpret it as overrated at all.

When something comes along that can be misused so easily, then it takes a conscious effort to avoid misuse. It’s the same with cars, processed foods, or any modern innovation really. Be the change you want to see. Reject social media. Turn off pretty much every phone notification. Have screen free time. Socialise without screens. I’m trying to do all these things. It’s difficult when no one else is interested in following suit and I just get excluded when I’m not on the platforms everyone else uses…but I’m trying to gather a circle of people who are aligned in this way of living.

False dichotomy. You can be amazing and happy and content…and still want to improve yourself.

This is a prime example of how it should be the prime directive for the country to reach a prime number of states. This can be taken on as the prime responsibility for the prime minister (if you had one…you should make one).

I’ve heard good things. Would it be easy for friends to pick up quickly?

Use the search function. This question gets asked every week 🙄

You still drink black coffee though, right?

I never needed to use command line, but I did hone my typing skills on MIRC and ICQ.
