… What? I used to smoke a pack a day, now I just vape. I’ve never seen a smoke shop that doesn’t sell juice

Hmm I’m a technically registered as Republican (registered 15+ years ago, and I never bothered to change it) and I’ve done some android programming, I know how to spoof my location…

Yep. Too many people think anarchy is throwing bricks at windows. It just means opposing hierarchy. Hoping a fascist wins is the literal opposite of that

You’re a piss poor anarchist if you want the the orange fascist to win

Ugh. Yeah I’ve heard that "it isn’t the best. It was the easiest to sign up for when the reddit exodus happened. I’m anti Israel and pro Ukraine and I’m always busy with real life/my own hobbies. I just don’t have the bandwidth for finding the best instance. C

Hey I’ve been looking for someone to ask, and you seem to know, is Lemmy.world cool?

I don’t have a good primary source, its been a lot of disparate googling. But if you have any questions at all, let me know. I love helping

Same. I went from one overly complicated Debian install to two dozen neat and self contained VMs that do one thing each. I even tricked a Windows VM into not knowing that it’s a VM, so I can game with anticheat games.

Java was my first language over ten years ago. I haven’t touched it in a decade (I’m mostly a hobbyist). I am grateful that I had to type all that shit out, and grateful that I don’t have to anymore (I’ve been using python since then).

I just recently helped a younger friend with their Java homework. I had to Google the syntax, but otherwise helped them ace it. I’ve mostly used Python since then, but learning java gave me such a good base of the fundamentals

You know that you dont have to pay for a Windows license right? You can permanently activate it (and any version of office) with a script. I found some article a while ago talking about it, some official Microsoft tech support used it because they were frustrated with Windows, so it’s legit

I do computer repair/tech support for just a small business. I haven’t used Windows on a a personal machine in a looong time, but that script helps me when I get stuck at work

Same! Like eight years now. I never really tried anything else, it clicked so fast and is so intuitive

Maybe you could sync the file with Syncthing or Nextcloud. And sqlite is the default android db type… I’m tempted to give it a shot, I just started looking for a solid self hosted note taking thing

Cloudflare has a free tier for domains, although they’re a little sketch. But they also support DDNS, so which updates the IP that your domain points to when it changes

Hell yeah dude, same! I just re-downloaded that a month ago!

I’m with you there. A couple winters ago I was a delivery person, I dropped a package on someone’s porch and I heard a little meow. Couple seconds later this little furball was climbing up my pant leg.

I knocked on the door to talk to the homeowner who said his mother had been hit by a car, and she had a cantankerous dog so she couldn’t take care of him. So I took him

I feel extremely responsible for my cat. He’s not like an “accessory” he’s something I made a commitment to saving and is dependent on me

I’m a reddit refugee who always lurked. Hah I’m trying to be more active on Lemmy so imma take that as a compliment

Not too weird, but I found this accidentally: a subwoofer under my bed (the speakers that came with it broke)

I found a ten hour long brown noise mp3 that is set to loop indefinitely on an old burner phone. Through the subwoofer it sounds exactly like the warp engines from Star Trek TNG. Incredibly comforting, and hard to sleep without
