I remember one time that I was in a traffic jam in the city that I was not familiar in. There where two lanes. I needed to go to the right so I went to the right lane. I waited and waited. The left lane already were driving. And then the car in front of me turned off his lights. The person left the car. Weird.. I was between parked cars. I was there for a good 10 minutes.

Have you installed apt-transport-https? See stackoverflow answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/38004106

If that does not work, cut that long chained command where you install the chrome drivers in to smaller steps. I think that it where it fails?

If that does not work, remove the code from the place where it starts to fail, build the image and start the image interactive so you are in its command line. From there run the troubled code. It might give you some more clues.

People have met their partner in a video game? I don't know dude.. Don't count on that chance of happening.

Anyway, stop focusing on not trying to be lonely. It will only make you more lonely.

Sure, but if there is too much electricity on the net, things will start to break. That electricity has to go somewhere. No one wants to buy electricity because everyone is trying to get rid of their surplus.

About the negative, I don't know.

Maybe woodworking? It can get dusty and you need some room but you can also make smaller things that don't need big power tools or a lot of room. Like miniature things.

Or computer programming. Create an app. Or do something fun like follow one of the coding challenges from the YouTube channel The Coding Train

I have this vpn because it comes for free with my Google Drive subscription. I have never used it because it does not do what I expect it to do

  • privacy, it's Google.
  • pretend to be in a different country is not available

"I can't get any joy from the work anymore. I used to get joy from it. Don't get me wrong, the colleagues are nice and all"

Probably most of your colleagues will agree with you and nobody gets offended.

What I do is two things

  • Go to the All view and block each community that has memes.
  • subscribe to commutes that you like.

This ways, all your views are meme-free.

Bonus tip for finding new commuties: create a new account and go to your All view. Every post you see, check if you like the community. If you like it, subscribe to it on your normal account and then block it on your new account. The new account works kind of like check off system. Each community that you made a decision on (subscribe or don't care) will no longer be visible on the new account. This way, other communities that are smaller will also be revealed.

I think it is because a dog has been seen as an object or tool for a long time. We are the owner. We buy the one that we like the most.

With humans we don't have ownership over another human. The human is owned by itself. So we let everyone decide for themselves who the want to breed with. One person will select a partner that is nice, some like a "bad boy", some like dark hair, blond, tall short, etc.

Also, humans are really not that different from each other while dogs can look like a completely different species.

What happens if you download something. Does it also upload while downloading?

Is it possible to download the torrent that you seed from outside your network by yourself? Mobile network, a friend or family wifi. To be sure that it does not download it all from someone else, create a torrent from a random file, upload it to a random tracker and download the torrent from outside your network.

It's probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.

 

When blocking communities, they will not show up in your "all" feed anymore. This makes browsing Lemmy nicer especially now that you might not subscribed to a lot of communities.

In the browser: In you Lemmy instance, click on your username (right upper corner), "Settings" and open the tab "Blocks" and type in the community you would like to block. Here you can also unblock communities

On Jerboa (Android): Open the community you would like to block, click on the 3 dotted menu (right upper corner) and click "Block Community". Note: you can not unblock on Jerboa. Use the browser (Settings -> Blocks) to unblock.
