He eventually found the executable by Googling for it online and is now part of a botnet.

Windows is shitty—don't get me wrong. But for all my coursework it's pretty annoying to do on Linux. Especially Office, and yes I am well aware it's a MS product and that Linux-support will likely never come. Though the limited online version of Office or LibreOffice don't quite cut it for me. Besides, running it with Wine or in a VM is too much of a hassle.

So "Switch to Linux!" is not really a solution for some. Let's hope that'll change in the future.

With that said, fuck Microsoft! I use NixOS btw.

First and foremost, I want you to know I am proud of you for taking on this adventure.

Building a house is no small feat, and yes, it will take time. Though it's not like you're sitting still—you're proactive. Every day you are getting closer to your goal. Don't give up and hang in there! We believe in you!

I bought a Ender-3 V2 Neo on Black Friday for €168. Has been a great buy and I have learnt a lot tweaking it. Maybe there are better printers out there I am unaware of, but as a starter I'd highly recommend it.

fuck off

Yes and no. If the VM has network access you can still royally fuck yourself. Also, it's possibe your virtualisation software has a vulnerability—that way it may still infect your host machine.

More often than not VMs may protect you, but it's no guarantee.

So perhaps you're pushing too hard

May well be the case. The way I train my grip is by no means professional. I've got them sitting on my desk. That means every time I see them my brain goes: "Oh yeah! Grip training. Let's do a couple reps". Not having them in sight makes me forget about them.

As you may realise, the problem with this approach is that I train them pretty much every day. No rest days. Only once I feel tremendously sore. Definitely a failure on my part. Thinking of putting them out of sight, but having an app on my phone remind me to use them every few days.

Also your grip strength is quite strong.

Compared to the average it is, I'd say. Still, closing the last gripper (112 kg according to the package) would be a huge confidence boost. Will it improve my life? Probably not, though it was never about that for me. It's more consistency training to me. Stay consistent and see results. That will certainly help me in other areas of life.

Thank you! I was thinking of buying a dynanometer. I'd have to go for an inexpensive one on Amazon. A professional dynanometer would cost me a rib cage.

I didn't laugh either. Though I think the contradiction of "life fucking sucked back then" followed by "life was fucking awesome back then" was supposed to be funny.

It really was just a joke.

All good. Hard to tell when it's just text.

It can still be more pleasing for us to look at a pretty girl (if that is what we prefer) without getting horny.

You do you. Certainly not shaming. Still, I do find everything is being sexualised nowadays;

Ads, thumbnails, films, music, video games—almost the entire internet. Ever tried scrolling through All on Lemmy or Reddit? Won't take long for you to find erotica or something of the likes. YouTube and Twitch are even worse. Women creating content whilst partially showing and thousands of men throwing a bunch of money at them—or time for that matter (which gets them ad revenue). Not much different from OF if you ask me.

The problem is you can't escape it. And it's affecting children as well. They see all of it and think it's normal. Take a glance at TikTok and you'll understand.

In the end, I'd rather play a game for its story and gameplay instead of playing it for the "boobs and vags". There is enough of that already.

I agree with you as well. Thought your comment was sane and reasonable. No clue why you were being downvoted to oblivion.

And then the bloke who says he'd rather create a female character, because he prefers to stare at her arse for hours.

Man, like, if one is that horny you're better off climaxing to something else—if you catch my drift.

Happy holidays bud!

Imagine paying to get tapped. Never been fond of all these smart home gadgets, although I do love the features it offers. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if it wouldn't be so privacy intrusive.
