On a related note, go fill out your donor card people. Even if you’re one of those “nobody will want my organs” type of people, do it anyways. The transplant people will figure out if your organs are viable when you no longer need them anymore. Let them figure that shit out for you. Just check the box to be a donor and don’t think about it any further.

and the stupid rumour about "the doctors will kill me to save 8 others" is bullshit. I am glad my donor signed. His wife said she didn't want him to, but seeing me live because of his selflessness made her reconsider, and she tells everyone to be a donor.

I can spend hours doing work without any mandatory updates .

Weird way to say spend hours fixing something that just randomly borked your PC.

Seriously, though. Windows has a fuck ton of issues, but it seems like every distro I install I am eventually greeted with something just completely breaking for no reason whatsoever and spend the next 6 hours scouring Linux forums for a solution, where everyone is just hostile as fuck screaming at people to "figure it out yourself" and to "use Terminal".

Glad it works for you, though. Wonder how many downvotes this cold take is going to net me lol.

This vaccine was so incredibly safe that it's ridiculous that she chose to die rather than getting it.

Unlike the transplant meds. Pretty large increase for cancer from them.

Seems weird to refuse a COVID vaccine, but be fine swallowing a ton of meds every 12 hours that increases your risk of cancer significantly.

Obviously me and many others accept that increased risk, because like you said, the other outcome is just dying straight up.

In the end I'm glad the organ went to someone else who will respect and appreciate it.

I had a double lung transplant 6 years ago. You have to be EXTREMELY compliant to even get put on the list.

So many meds and tests and shit stuff you need to follow EXACTLY, every 12 hours, every day, for the rest of your life.

If you refuse a vaccine you're never going to care for your new lungs. It's not easy.

They took YEARS to redesign the Android app. They missed their promise deadline at least twice.

Now they are finally rewriting their Android app to be on par with their iOS app, but who knows how many years that'll take.

It's already been 8 months since they said they were rewriting it, and still haven't released anything, despite aiming for summer. Not to mention they're already planning on shipping a half baked version whenever they finally do..

As discussed in the January update, Android will require more work as we are rewriting more of the application, with a big focus on performance and stability. This means some Android features you have requested for Mail are not in our immediate scope for delivery. In particular, conversation view (also known as threading view) won’t make it into the first version of the new Android app, but we hope to deliver it soon after release. Thank you to everyone using the beta Android app for the helpful feedback you have sent us. We hope to be able to release the new Android app to everyone before the summer.

That's the worst thing about Proton AP. You pay a premium to wait like chumps. Not to mention they nickle and dime you for everything! I can't use Proton Pass with my expensive business plan, because they want me to pay even MORE to access it. Meanwhile BitWarden is like $1 per month.

I dropped off because I am unbelievably sick of seeing the same thing posted across 20 different communities. No matter which sort I am using, my front page is CLUTTERED with the same crap.

I assumed America before I even read it.

They should invent filters that you can put over your body parts that help stop transmission of COVID.

I deleted all of mine and move to mastodon when I heard Elon was possibly going to buy it. I'm glad I did, because who knows what he has all implemented since then.

I am sure my account was never "deleted", even under Jack, but at least I know I gave the best chance for my data to be deleted.

And it's ignorant, and it makes the dev look shady.

But go ahead. Be shady, I guess.

Just staying with Infinity for Lemmy is ignorant to the original dev.

This is why I'll never own a bike. Doesn't help that half the bikers I see dress all black on a black bike with no lights on. You guys are crazy.

Bikes are hard to see. Drivers in cars pull dumb moves and they're sometimes so unpredictable.

At the end of the day, no matter how right you are on a bike, you're taking the bigger beating every time.

28 is so young. ):
