I used to wonder about how my family and friends would react and what they’d do If I just stopped existing for one reason or another.

It’s a pretty “normal” thought to have when you’re depressed I think, and it’s what sends you further down the spiral. But yeah, even as someone who wants to believe in an afterlife, I wouldn’t want to know anything about what I left behind.

I’m German. Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit oder so…

Mostly taught myself English, since our educational system sucks so much.

Not really. lemmy is not a good place for it I think.

Ok

global concentration camp

You keep saying that, what does it mean?

it hasn’t worked out very well

Why do you feel that exactly? Do you think we are afraid of something and that’s why we can’t communicate “without filters”?

I don’t see a point in being dramatic about it anymore. I’m doing what I can to make the world a better place but I know full well that’s not nearly enough.

Why even bother getting frustrated over it? The best thing I can do is continue living my life and try to make the best of it; not being oblivious to what’s happening but also not letting myself be dragged down by it.

Build myself a new life in Australia, get a motorbike and do lots of road trips, and maybe start a family.

Used Surface Pro 8 maybe. No repair ability but decent value for money

When I was in Australia, a bunch of people asked me about the public transport here and all of them were baffled when I told them how shit it was…

I have no idea where this perception that everything must be perfect in Germany or Europe came from but it is sooo outdated.

Speaking of tickets; in NSW you just tap your Opal card when entering/leaving train stations. It makes so much more sense and is so much easier.

Those things aren’t nearly as cool, though (IMO)

ThinkPad W701DS. Depending on configuration it has an intergrated Wacom digitiser w/ pen, a built-in Pantone colorimeter, two RAIDed hard drives and of course the glorious second screen that pops out.

The advertising was interesting….

Ok.

When I started using Linux more frequently everyone recommended Manjaro for gaming. Since then many people berated me for even mentioning it…

I’ve been using it for years and never had any problems; both gaming and graphically intensive apps run perfectly. It’s best to go with all AMD, given how bad Nvidia drivers seem to be.

I’d stay where I am and just travel back before the internet existed/was widely adopted

Plain vanilla dyed blue; they used to call it delfino I think

Edit: I guess not lol

He’s doing some really good stuff for right to repair; he get’s a bit overly dramatic sometimes but you can tell that he’s just very passionate about those things.

I think he’s the best type of influencer; rather than money or fame he strives for an end to the constant enshittification by exposing bad actors and not giving a shit about it.

A pet kangaroo would be cool

Just get used ones, sunglasses last a long time if cared for properly

It’s normal; what the fuck do you mean?

I had a weird addiction to collecting Harley-Davidson dealer tshirts; I have about 20 or so, and say what you will about the brand itself or their image but their tshirts are pretty good. Nice thick cotton, really weighty, and pretty well-made.

Those alone would probably last me forever. I don’t wear them much, though.
