I don’t think there is an option for open new window here - i thought id found this solution too :(

Edit - I think they must have added this recently!! open new instance is available! solved :) thanks!

I’d have few friends if I did that :/ . so many are addicted.

Mint, cinnamon, stock.

sorry, I mean middle click on the application (in the taskbar) to open a new window. Windows does this automatically.

You and I definitely think the same. I’ve said the same to my friends that continue to slurp up corptube media and have no problem with it. Gross.

Haha yeah I thought that may be my response after I posted hahha. I’ll keep searchin

Literally everything i do. Im not even old but I could keep a conversation going with a 60 year old easily.

Old cars, reel to reels, vhs, win 95, atari 2600, pentium 3s, 50s music, records and vintage amplifiers and speakers…dos commands…the list goes on

That and I hate social media (i realize lemmy is social media) and my smartphone stays off on weekends. I prefer books.

You’re a good parent. Id never give a kid a smartphone or internet access so early.

Ipad babies in restaurants blasting some insanely annoying brain rot peppered with ads? Its so common. Very dystopian.

Kagi also has a small web search option. Its so great. I love kagi! Wish it was unlimited search tho. I blow through my 5 dollar allotment in like 2 weeks ha.

I also love the small web. Maybe we should get on some IRC channel or create one about these topics ? Id love to talk with like minded folks

My one friend cant stop staring at his when driving. He lives near me and sometimes I wave at him driving by and hes like I never even saw you. Like dude, youre a fucking idiot.

Is it possible to have my normal shitty samsung for stuff that wont work on a linux phone, and have like a pinephone for simple calls and stuff, but have them both use the same phone # ? I doubt.

Cuz when hiking or something I like a phone for safety but I dont want distractions.

Is funny, if you talk about an iPod or even cds nowadays people think youre about 10,000 years old. There was literally nothing wrong with that tech and it kept us away from corpo prying eyes and social media addiction.

This is pretty much how I am. Use my desktop for important things. On weekends I try to not even have my phone on my person and I check it a couple times a day while it stays in the bedroom like a house phone. Life is so much better without it.

I unfortunately still do like to take it with if walking/biking/driving but I wish I didn’t. Id like to have another phone that only makes phone calls for that but has my same number. Its funny. When I was a kid we didn’t even think about it because none of us had phones. Going on a random dirt bike ride miles away with nothing. Better (also unsafe) times.

Im tired of smartphones consuming everyone’s minds.

Take a look at the mountain makalu!! I absolutely love it. And its light and fits right in my hand. Kind of hard to find except on ebay. Very solid mouse to replace my a310 steelseries.

Zelda and Pokémon. They bore me. I love the Pokémon tv show tho

I have started that game !

I think you much overestimate the intelligence of the average human.

I was just saying that if you show a computer program run something (let’s say a choose your own adventure text game or something) to an average 12 year old today, its likely they would say, thats ai! Because they probably wont even know that a human could write code themselves to do something like draw a circle on screen.

Also, I would have loved to learn actual assembly and talk directly to the hardware. But like you said there is no use at all for it nowadays so thats going to be a lost skill.

I really want one but I dont think I can live with it daily. Too much shit relies on phones now. Linux is perfect for my desktop and I never need windows, but I dont think a linux phone is gonna work for my banking or investment apps

This is why its a net negative. Nothing good at all will come of it and if it does it will be negated by a far more nefarious evil.
