Microsoft parody
Yea, why are Microsoft forums so bad? I have to use them sometimes as I work in IT and all our PCs run windows. Googling often leads me to their forums. The forums rarely lead me to a solution however

Its time we in Europe stop pretending that the US is capable of being anything other than an enemy. Its not just trump. If they do it once, theyll do it again. Whether its 1, 2, or several administrations down the line. We need to start distancing ourselves from them ASAP

This is so necessary and overdue, lets be honest. I hope it succeeds

Linux is Getting a New Default Folder in Your Home Directory
Everyone complaining, and here I am not having noticed the change because I've created that directory for myself years ago :-P
Personally its for organisation

Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay?
Use chapstick
Read a book in public
Not go to gym
Play certain more "feminine" games
Those off the top of my head. I live in a nation of backwards idiots, so there for sure are more

What are some aspects of UI/UX seen in modern websites that really grind your gears?
When a page is so bloated with crap, certain elements load much after certain others, leading me to believe the page has loaded, and to click on something jus as somthing else loads and pushes it down/to the side.

To those who downvote your own comments… Why?
Will test and edit. Ill leave my automatic upvote on, so first person to read this please downvote this comment
Edit: no no guys, stop upvoting 🤣
Edit 2: sorry OP, guess i cant test out my theory, which was that if you leave your upvote, but get downvoted once, it shows up as 0

EU is planning a new mass surveillance law that includes mandating data retention, built-in backdoors, sanctioning non-compliant services and is asking you for feedback: Impact assessment on retention
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I wouldn't be aware of it otherwise. For what its worth, I left my ideas as feedback there.
Also, I would just like to point out that before lemmy (and subscribing to various EU communities) I was not at all active in voicing my opinion about such things as I didn't have any idea that it was even possible/how to do it. Lemmy as a whole has helped me become more active in this regard :D

This. Im not french, and while the surrender jokes can be slightly amusing at times, i feel a great sense of pride(?) everytime i see on the news that theyre protesting some new tyranny. Wish my lot were like that. Alas, we not only get trampled by the boot but kiss it as it passes by

As ive grown older i find myself disagreeing more and more with the jedi whom as a child i idolised as paragons of good. But palpatine, vader, and the empire are so many things before being "poor good revolutionaries" trying to take down the status quo simply from the good of their golden hearts. Theres always more than 2 choices people :)

GUI library for C?
Also, if anyone suggests Electron or anything involving a browser, I will find them and remove one electron from each atom of theirs, turning them into smoke.
This made me laugh, it was so unexpected xD
Also, while its not an answer for your question, look up ncurses if you dont know it. It might be a middle ground for your future projects, if you prefer staying in the terminal but having a UI.

A manifesto for open source, from Mercedes-Benz
This seems like a good thing. As they state, instead of just using OSS they'll contribute back to existing projects and likely release some of their own stuff.
Hopefully they stick to it

Is it really just ageing/ getting older? How is this supposed to work? How is everyone else doing this?
What you do for work might be a factor, but i dont think pain to that extent is normal. I would stress to your doctor that basic tasks are painful and that youd like to get checked out anyway. Youve got nothing to lose by getting it checked, only to gain. Im in my mid 20s too and while i get aches in my knees/back occasionally its not debilitating as you describe it.

Linux license terms

My first lemmy account was on an instance called iusearchlinux.fyi then it just disappeared suddenly and without explanation (admin probably burnt out). Anyway, it was nice to be able to tell people i use arch linux without actually having to tell them. I miss that instance

I think my IT guy hates me...
Though soon to no longer be IT, i guarantee that if you bring them cookies and coffee theyll start to love you :)
