"Fish" is racist anyway. Putting them all in the same boat like that. smh

No i didn't mean it like that, i'm sorry. It's more of a reaction to the general vibe i get off lemmy while im in a period of trying to debug by brain. I probably misread what you actually meant. Most of lemmy is just frustrated and sad about things we have little control over. It's more the general thread reminding me of healthy ways of thinking vs the rest of lemmy. your comment just happened to be where i was thinking out loud. sorry ><

Sounds like coping mechanism to me

maybe, but i see quite a few similar reactions in this thread that make me wanna leave this place. its just slowly starting to sink in for me that lemmy is a lefty echo chamber and its basically the same 20 posts rehashed every week by people with worldviews like this. how tf can anyone expect to change anything without hope. Idk man, im just dumping my thoughts but i think im gonna get the hell off this platform and anything similar because it's not having a positive effect on me.

Do you think society would get to the point it is if everyone just wanted more power for selfish reasons? I think it's more to do with the feeling of fulfillment that comes with responsabilities. Helping people feels good, even when you get nothing in return. Unless you expect something in return, then we're playing a different game. But your outlook on life seems pretty bleak my friend.

Maybe he means in a context with your real name visible?

You may call me Computer God. Or God for short if i deem it acceptable.

Yes yes, i oversimplfied it for the sake of explaining to someone who doesnt know linux. I'm talking about having to figure out specific parameters that may or may not work on some hardware but not on others. I had this issue with 2 of 4 games i tried in 2021. Eventually i did get both games to work but with weird glitches.

I dont think debian is the issue, but nvidia and it's wonky ass linux drivers. my 12 button mouse is also useless in linux. maybe it's better by now. last time i tried i had issues with wayland. though i heard big update for fedora was coming for wayland in may (?) 2024, so i might try again then.

The biggest thing that always gets in my way is no Visual Studio IDE support. yes, theres other IDEs, i've tried them all with various levels of wonk to the point i end up jus not being able productive with c# or be even less productive in other languages.

Same with photoshop or video editing sofware. Sure, you got gimp and kedit, but theyre just not as good and have weird issues.

is this one of those "tech bros bad" takes?

Hmm, well i can't really speak to any of that. But for the greater good, unions are a good thing. I understand that it makes difficult for you though.

I'd throw the obvious stuff at you like, but it's kinda hard to get an idea of what could possibly help without knowing you.

I do know that i've had to change my attitude a few times in life to get by though, i don't think autism should be used as an excuse to not have to do the hard thing everyone has to do (but is harder for us).

Right now, the only advice i can give is to try to channel that resentment into motivation to improve yourself. Trying and failing is so much more valuable than just giving up and being angry about it.

But yeah, i do have it easier than most so maybe it's not my place to say things like that. I do wish you the best though.

I do feel the same way about things being easier alone though. i would be much happier and productive doing my own thing, I have a ton of software projects i work on, somd even make a bit of money, but running business seems scary since my administration skills are shit and customers are acary.
