I know the fallacy fallacy. It doesn't apply in this case because you really were making a slippery slope argument with no evidence, and despite my counterarguments. But I don't have more time to spend on ashitpost lol

The slippery slope fallacy. Just because you just checked and know that the gun is unloaded doesn't inextricably lead to danger if you always treat a gun as if it were loaded.

You don't have to lie to yourself or others that the gun is loaded if it is not, just always treat it as if it is.

The only thing you do by lying is give people reason not to trust you.

I used to make shit like this in college, but I have been lazy in my old age. Could anybody please share their US letter-sized physical shitposts in PDF form so I can post them up locally?

There is a fallacy named after this.

If you treat loaded and unloaded guns with the same safety, you don't have to lie.

Do not want what?/I'm not sure what you're talking about?

I was just saying it is fine to browse Lemmy reading comments to find out what a video is about, not that we should have low effort video posts.

I would say it is a neutral fact.

Imo there is no meaning to life, everyone decides for themselves what to live for.

If someone likes the fact that we are made from starstuff, why yuck that yum specifically? It is kind of a nice perspective to take sometimes when life gets stressful.

It is also a part of a nice song by Joni Mitchell and a nice speech by Carl Sagan, both people I admire, but not something I think about a lot...

Live and let live I say.

This reads like someone who wants to write on linked in but couldn't even be taken seriously there.

You can bacially replace grok with "clock", or, even better, "notice."

That ain't no crime

 

So October is coming, and this is as good a time as any to switch to linux, but it is somewhat of an overwhelming task. I'm already used to desktop linux, but I am NOT good at migrating apps and settings and stuff. So I'll have some blindspots. I thought perhaps we could come up with some kind of collaborative outline for how to do it. Here are my ideas.

  • Make backups of all data.
  • Install linux as a dual boot / new machine.
  • Troubleshoot any hardware / software issues.
  • Make some lists on windows of apps
    -- Apps you absolutely need to have / replace
    -- Apps that would be nice to have / replace
    -- Apps that you don't need to migrate over.
  • Migrate user data, files, etc., to linux
  • Install apps on linux
  • For each app on the lists
    -- export settings and data from windows
    -- import settings and data into linux

At each step along the way, you can check things off the list.

Not everyone can switch to linux, but for those who want to, would this be a good procedure? What would you add to it?
