It could be both. This administration is not exactly above being petty or manipulative.

~I know you know that, but it still should be said out loud at all available opportunities.~

Don’t feed the trolls. It’s not worth it. 😊

I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest maybe it’s not your view of life that’s getting downvoted, but how tone deaf you come off about how other people don’t necessarily hold your views.

Despite having hobbies, interests, getting out and doing positive things, I myself (for example) still feel defeated. And how I feel is just as valid as how you feel. That doesn’t necessarily make me emo, sappy, melancholy, cynical, nor pessimistic. Yes I can be all or some of those things, but then again, so can you.

So think on that before you start putting other people down for things you don’t necessarily understand.

Ps

The thread comments will further prove my point more than likely.

Now who’s being pessimistic and cynical?

Here’s how I approach old and slow:

1. Older software is mature and battle tested. It’s been around long enough that the developers should know what they’re doing, and have built a strong community for help and support.
2. Slow is okay when it comes to accuracy. Would I love to back up my gigabytes (peanuts compared to some of you folks out there with data centers in your attics) in seconds? Yes. But more importantly, I’d rather have my data be valid for if I ever need to do any kind of restore. And I’ve been around the block enough times in my career to see many useless backups.

But only for certain classes of people.

It really depends on your bank or credit card issuer. Some places will accrue interest from the day of purchase until the day of repayment. It might be pennies for me and you, but I’m sure they make bank on their collective customer base. And deliberately making it difficult to pay off debt that causes additional charges should be illegal.

Codeberg is not just for static websites. It’s for FOSS projects. Their FAQ addresses this.

Fuck that pedophile wannabe.

The enemy of my enemy or some shit.

As a Mac user, I like Time Machine for backups. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. There is a Linux version.

Nb. I’ve not used this particular software, so YMMV.

I’m not too sure about neovim, but in regular vim you can do yy and grab the entire line (including the line break).

Gosh. How will you figure that out? Searching up “neovim docs” in a search engine only gets you to the neovim documentation. THEN, you have to search the documentation for “paste”. It’s TWO WHOLE STEPS.

Wow, that’s so hard. It’s no wonder that you posted to Lemmy to make someone else do the hard work of … <checks notes> using a search engine with your own two unbroken hands.

Yo dawg. You could’ve just downvoted and moved on with your day. But instead, you decided to show the entire internet what a self-important dick you are.

I’ll let you in on a little secret: not everybody learns the same way that you do. Also, not everyone has the same level of experience. Being kind is free. Being an ass is… well, embarrassing. Do better.

I felt that way about binary.

They must be growers. Also, make sure the one on the middle right cleans thoroughly under the foreskin.

Yeah our healthcare sucks, but what’s worse is HR demanding a doctor note for one missed day. Yeah. That’s the infuriating part.

Get some rest op. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

There’s always !actually_infuriating@lemmy.world

But yeah, I’d be livid. Did you catch them in the act?

That is some genuine malicious compliance. ❤️

Where I live in the states, my power company offers an option to do the same thing. And every year, they adjust it based on overages/underages from the previous year.

Visa debits cards can be used as a credit card, but debits from your bank. Added bonus is that you get fraud protections that your bank may not offer for debit transactions.

Edit: that is not to downplay that you said you were in a tight spot.
