Curious. In polish there are also two words. Moth is “ćma” and butterfly is “motyl”. Funfact: There is also “ćmić” whichs kinda archaic,but can mean giving very small light (for example, embers), a very small but constant pain or shading/covering/dimming something.

And apparently the word comes from latin “tenebra”. Quite dramatic, as it means the word has it roots in word for darkness itself. Quite a name for a small, mostly blind furry butterfly wannabe.

Grew up in a world where girls were only expected to be more mature than boys.

Nah. Girls tend* (and this is doing the heavyweight championship of this sentence) to be naturally more empathetic from my PoV, which coupled with actually faster develepoment and higher expectation of maturity produces the “mature and empathetic” image of girls. Also noticed back then that girls were more social oriented than guys. Guys got together to do a thing, meanwhile girls were fine just sitting around and talking.

* Half or more girls I met growing up still escaped this in varying degree, but baseline tendency was still higher than in boys where this was exceptional.

Although, all in all, it’s all based on personal experience so I may be way off the mark.

What are you all doing watching ads in cinema xD

Either I am 20 minutes late or I don’t come. I refuse to be on time - I am here for a movie, not ad stream xD

1. Whatever you wear is what you wear. If skirt is short enough to flash person behind you on stairs, that’s on you.
2. Any physical contact without consent is invalid. The way you dress is not consent.
3. And if you go for upskirt photo, your target has full right to defend their dignity. By, for example, kicking you off the stairs. Again, consequences of your actions.

That’s my take at least.

Because in USA the last part isn’t set in stone from what I know…

I mentioned main differences in the first two parts of the comment. Domain, root vs user, name and booting into a system being the default are the main differences, that can throw non savvy user off.

I agree I’ve might muddled too much with the linux story, I wanted to use it to show that even if I knew somewhat what I am doing I still kindof fucked myself - someone fully new to that without proper instruction may do worse.

Windows doesn’t ask for domain, for example, last I checked. Same goes for first name and last name. Or differentiating between user and admin by default. At least in 10, didn’t have chance to install 11 yet.

Oh really. The fuck is domain, why do I need two passwords, fuck’s root and why the heck does it ask for my name.

And first of all why the heck did my pc boot into linux to install linux.

For someone used to windows, linux is weird af with it’s installer. Same other way around. I, being a bit more tech savvy, for example managed to almost force myself into using linux because I tried to keep windows like partitions…and, after fidging around in installer format tools, managed to do it.

Windows did not like it when I installed it back and I had to reformat because linux doesn’t care what format (or whatever the BTRFS, FAT etc are called) disk is in, or was it disks table? But oh boy does Windows installer care xD

For non tech savvy folk, last used installer is better xD

Restart

Draw the rest of the fucking owl

xD

You are being studied. Do not resist.

Being technically literate? You surely meant to say enemy of technocracy…

I have extremely low tolerance on mindless grind. If I have to repeat x thing y times to have a chance at getting z, I am not gonna bother. I don’t mind grind if it evolves - new mechanics, new variables, new tools, all that stuff. But just grind? Fuck off.

I like playing Warframe. It’s kinda grindy, so I don’t have much and mostly play doing what I like and collecting stuff during it. Once decided to actually get certain armor as chances were high, so it shouldn’t take long.

It didn’t. I think it took 6h. Got fed up with the game for half a year after that anyway. Worst part of it was that feeling of achievement was minimal compared to tiredeness I felt.

On looks alone first one has car infrastructure, public infrastructure, healthy amount of artistic marketing and high quality housing.

For current US, from descriptions I see, that’s actually utopia. xD

I am lookimg at the comments and laughing. I have a low end pc, with nvidia and intel. Ya all behave as if linux was some peak of programming…and heck, maybe it is, dunno.

But installing Windows 10 vs CachyOS/Mint/Nobara took similiar time. Speed is the same, explorers too. On Cachy and Mint, compatibility was also the same (Nobara did not like my hardware). All in all, both Linux and Windows were fast and reliable (except Nobara, again, hardware issues).

Yet ya all grab edge cases and try to make it appear as it’s normal xD And this applies to both linux and windows folk, altho I do admit there a lot more linux folk here. But both sides grasp at edge case problems and pretend it’s norm lol xD

From noob PoV, Cachy = Mint = Windows 10 usability wise. I’d switch to Cachy if not for the fact only Windows can squeeze last drops of my hardware juice T-T (I love Plasma desktop, even if wallet pisses me off)

80’s sound possible, tbh.

Wish I could replace it, but heavy case of living from paycheck to paycheck. Thankfully flat isn’t mine but a third party organisation belonging to city, so they cover every electrical f-up that happens.

I…am not sure if knob and tube was even used in EU, and between short search and LLM query the answer seems to be “no”. So this may be the closest EU equivalent to that xD

All in all tho, I can relate to hunting shorts. At this point 5/7 of my mini electrical boxes (can-like shape hole in the wall where cables junction?) were replaced by electrician, because they all shorted to all hell. When I moved in it was worse - I had parallel connection between lightswitch and outlet and similiar shit xD Last owner was a handyman builder and…it was showing. A lot.

Also I have only one circuit on singular fuse so that’s also fun.

DING DING DING. We have a winner! WWII deutsch building then renewed under communist gov*. From that point forward, all changes were made only by flat owners. I have a total hodgepodge of handyman shit in my home xD

^{* At least from what I know.}

Lol. My home (not even a house, but a flat) is WWII era lol. It has rudimentary electrical installation. Like, it fullfills all requirements…if we back the clock by around 30-40 years. Some parts of it still have lead sheath. For some reason. And I have old communist newspapers as “insulation” in the floor xD

Anyway, what I wanted to say…if you live in similiar conditions, everything that your mind connects to possible shortcircuit somehow manages to reboot you from sleep to full awareness within nanoseconds. xD

Look to Europe then. Roads here have less width compared to USA to force you to focus. Or roundabouts which also make the crossing less safe…if you try to keep your speed.

Both end up making roads safer by slowing you down and forcing you to focus.

Gonna make Lemmy pissed off, but installed on my machine Nobara, Cachy and Mint at some point. All of them had comparable if not worse boot and shutdown times to Windows 10. xD ( And worse performance in games but that’s due to having old Nvidia GPU xD )
