1984 , to Chat in Does anyone else ever just realize that you're not even sure why you want a relationship at all?
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah I know what you mean. There is a certain kind of girl that gives off that vibe. I've often wondered if it's intentional or not.

But if you are that kind, you have to put in extra effort to make friends. My girlfriend has "resting bitch face" as she calls it. When she looks serious, she looks a bit angry. It also turns people off until she starts to talk to them.

People get into relationships for sexual reasons, no?

And then they get tired of eachother. Ive realized that some people don't like the person they are with very much. It's just too much work to switch them out, and you lose other things you want (like children, the house, money etc) if you break up with them. And you have to find someone new, which is very difficult today for a lot of people.

I wonder if even most people are slightly unhappy with their partner and they don't feel emotionally connected.

So I don't think it's wrong to skip all that and focus on great friends. But friends often get into relationships and you lose out on the friendship when that happens.

People like Elon Musk as exactly like the kid in the sandbox who wanted the entire sandbox for himself, and who would fight for all sandboxes in the yard despite not being able to use them.

That kind of personality will take all until nothing is left.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Sounds really dramatic in a news item though. Click bait. :)

But yeah, I recently moved away from these cloud services and have a Nas at home now. Only encrypted backups in cloud. Because fuck Google.

1984 , to Technology in Google Search adds a “web” filter, because it is no longer focused on web results
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Google is not showing the web anymore, it's showing it's own content now, stolen from the web.

People don't even leave their site now with Ai results, that Google controls and can modify how they want.

Not sure what to do about this. The general public will be completely lost in Google.

1984 , to Reddit in Is Lemmy a good alternative?
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I think it's the same echo chamber here, but it's smaller. People block instances they don't like, and are in favor of moderators removing controversial things, specially around communism and tankies.

I just like that it's not run by big tech. Just discussions, no companies or ads. I think most users are tech people.

This may surprise you, but in Lua!

I used to be a big user of neovim and heavily into plugins and messing with my configs, and lua is the language built into neovim for doing things like that.

One of my neovim plugins had annoying bugs due to evolving to support more and more features, and it was time for a rewrite to make it all clean again.

Lots of programming actually. Rewrote a thing from scratch and now it's so much better. Feels good. :)

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I don't know. People in the west dont seem to understand they also listen to propaganda every single day. But they think it's just happening in Russia or China.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah it's not like the western instances have any propaganda. Only Russians have that. :P

Why do Microsoft have to welcome people to their software? Is it because they otherwise wouldn't feel welcome using it? :P

1984 , to No Stupid Questions in As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Late thirties is aging? That's like peak life. You have money and family (at least a chance of that) and purpose in your life. You have confidence and you know who you are.

You are still a bit dumb, but less dumb than twenty somethings. I liked my late thirties.

I agree with you, and that is a hellish environment to work in.

There must be a better middle ground for all of this.
