uh, what's the point here? - Lemmy.World
like, you dont like linux. i dont care about it either way: i use windows and the one time i tried linux years ago i didn’t work for my use case. but you don’t hear me spouting off ranting and evangelizing linux hate. also, your alternative seems to be just, windows? which is fairly notorious for its own reasons. why doesn’t windows suck? how did linux hurt you bad enough for you to become this… thing? it has to be at least a little socially painful to see everyone downvote you for this over and over, and every time you come up with a new opinion- like, are you getting off on this? are we wanking you off here? oh god suddenly i feel like i have your cum on my hands wipes on your shirt.
Suggestions for General Public
Suggestions for General Public - Lemmy.World
I’ve recently started a job driving a shuttle van across the city for the general public. I’ve got a wide amount of leeway, but the audiobooks I’ve been listening to have been… not hitting right. I started with “The Name of the Wind” which was extremely well reviewed. I liked it a lot for the most part, and for the most part so did my passengers, but at one point it started talking about how much the main character would like to see one of the young woman characters naked and would pay for that privilege. In the context of the story it sort-of made sense, but out of context it was completely gross and I was beyond embarrassed. The next day I tried “Consider Phlebas” (again well reviewed) which was a completely different thing, but almost immediately it started in with a vivid description the mc being drowned in sewage- It did not hit right, despite the interesting developments that I would ordinarily probably enjoy for just myself. I’m looking for suggestions of completely SFW audiobooks I could listen to (through audible, alas) with random passengers of all walks of life coming and going without context. I cannot stress strongly enough that they should be quite literally safe for work. I don’t mind skirting a bit of controversy or challenging preconceptions or introducing new or unusual perspectives (In fact I kind of relish the idea of being somewhat progressive and/or boundary-pushing, though I’d like to start small after these initial embarrassments), but it cant be crude, or sexual, or violent. Thanks for your attention, please chime in with your suggestions.

Episode I: The Phantom Message
Episode I: The Phantom Message - Lemmy.World
I have a “1 message unread” icon that permanently displays. When I attempt to check my message, the unread messages field appears blank, as if I have read all my messages, but at the top of the page the bell icon still shows 1 unread. New messages increment from one, rather than zero, too. On another instance I just got to 2 permanent phantom unread messages. How do I make this go away? Also, turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute. Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo. While the congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict… Pic unrelated.

I'd sure like to block everything from nsfwlemmy and pornlemmy, but can't seem to find the option to do that.
