What that reasoning we should install sauerbraten because most people have plenty of hdd space and broadband internet. Better yet, just install all the games so we can relax every now and then between the hard work.

Even before phones schools were like this. But they'd just put you in mandatory extra classes to fix your grades. Instead of, you know, talking to you. To get to know how you are doing and how you're feeling.

I've hated my school time and all it taught me is teachers are obsessed with having power over others. Maybe not all teachers, but a lot are like this. They won't listen to you, they just force their opinion on you. And if you don't do well in their pre-made lecturing framework then it's on you because you don't pay attention and you are lazy. It's never on them.

There's nothing wrong with relying on medication. I just wanted to state that.

Don't ever randomly stop taking medication. Always consult a doctor first.

Even with medication I am not in a good place right now. But I am glad I don't have the thoughts of hurting myself thanks to the meds.

Good on you. I was still watching cartoons in 1996. To be fair I matured very late (if ever).

I feel like I'm a kid in an adult body trying to pass off as an adult. Always walking on my toes mentally. Being expected to know and do things way beyond what I'm able to.

I feel like aging only makes it worse.

I liked the point and click games when they were 2d hand drawn and not (3d) rendered. It seems to be a thing that has now been lost to time.

I'd rather not waste my time reading an article about a program I'm not currently using to find out if I should use it our not. I'd rather see a post that has bulletpoints with pre's and cons. My time is limited enough as it is.

[edit] I realise that my comment will probably come across as unfriendly so I will add some explaining to it.

I am currently in a western country using a fibre landline and I trust my internet provider to not intercept my data or use things like a man in the middle attack. Am I right for assuming that and if so, would tor prevent that? Will tor slow down my internet? I mostly watch youtube videos and read/post on lemmy/mastodon. I am not against using tor at all, but my energy and time are limited so I don't feel like reading a whole article just for an app I do not feel the need to use. I am currently very happy with my firefox browser and all the add-ons I use. And with all the modifications I have put into it to make it work just the way I like. Would I loose all that by switching to tor? I am prepared to change to tor but I am not in the camp of "protect privacy at all costs, even if it greatly inconveniences me". Especially if the risks of not using tor seem quite low in my situation.

The actual problem is that they think they should just force one or the other on us. Give us a choice to sort our feed and we'll figure out what we like best.

YouTube ReVanced for me.

Ooh, this is the rare 110v to e-waste converter!

I agree. Not all these forums are about the same content nor do they all involve the nazi stuff.

Driver support for (older) graphics cards.

The screen tearing issue (may be related to above)

Dependency hell.

How a program or game used to work fine on an older version but doesn't work anymore. Basically lack of backwards compatibility for software.

How you can't always do everything you want in the gui and have to use the terminal sometimes and know some of the basic commands.

How a lot of the gui programs don't have (usefull) error messages so it just leaves you confused when a program you installed doesn't want to run.
