People on Lemmy aren't "normal" people and shouldn't use their personal views as the norm.

There shouldn't be borders.

Android is the worst anti-consumer shit I've ever seen in software and should be illegal

[โ€“] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 7 points 47 minutes ago

Uhh have you looked at other software recently? Android is practically FOSS compared to some things

[โ€“] dgbbad@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 hour ago

What did I miss? I would have put Apple, Nintendo, or Epic way above Android. Am I out of the loop? Or are we talking about Google as a whole?

Being vegan is a moral base line.

[โ€“] weirdcarrotmonster@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's not that i disagree, but can you elaborate on that?

[โ€“] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org -3 points 3 hours ago

Inflicting pain and suffering is bad, especially if done for selfish reasons, like pleasure (and tbh if someone were to disagree with that, I'd dont want to talk to them). Exploiting animals is exactly that, taste pleasure to be exact.

  • No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
  • Static typing sucks.

Rather than banning that just tax the shit out of people who have multiple homes

[โ€“] nomy@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

I'd even be willing to let someone have their lake/hunting cabin/whatever and not tax too much but people are greedy and we're far past that point. Once you start accumulating 5-10 homes, taking them off the market for other buyers, the taxes should increase exponentially.

People without empathy shouldn't have the right to lead people (politics, work, ...).

There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.

Russia should be denuclearised and split up.

Not shower every day depends very much on the situation.

In summer there are certain coworkers who most fuckingly definitely should shower every day unless I'm allowed more wfh.

[โ€“] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I think "shower before you start stinking" is a decent rule to live by

[โ€“] sping@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 hours ago

Along with "it's sometimes hard to detect your own stink"

Summer is a crappy season, fall is superior.

[โ€“] Irelephant@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I like spring because its not exhaustingly warm, and I like being outside in rain anyway.

  • Laptops should be thick and durable with good keyboards (like old Thinkpads)
  • MacOS isn't as bad as people here say, its still a Unix-based OS and that alone makes it superior to Windows
  • Arch Linux is severely overrated
  • Debian Linux is extremely underrated
  • Alpine Linux is great on low end laptops
  • Fedora Linux is the best distro for newcomers
  • Rust belongs in the Linux kernel
  • GPL > MIT/BSD
  • Tiling > stacked
  • AI sucks
