You can't pretend forever

You can't pretend forever.

You're not happy. Ricing your Gentoo desktop with i3-gaps and urxvt won't fulfill you. Spending two hours configuring mpv to watch the anime you acquired from the private tracker you managed to make it into won't bring you happiness. Using Firefox with uMatrix, Privacy Badger, NoScript and Startpage doesn't have a significant positive impact on your life.

Is the Xiaomi Note a really good deal? Am I a pleb if I don't install Lineage OS? Maybe. Maybe you're just autistic.

You're not autistic. You just need to get out.

This isn't healthy. You're not happy. You may be enjoying yourself, but you're becoming bitter, cynical, and hard to talk to.

Your mother isn't a pleb for using an iPhone. Your professor isn't a faggot for using Windows 10. You're blowing these issues way out of proportion, and they're taking over your personality.

Soon, if not already, you'll only be able to relate to people on the Internet that you'll never actually know. You're putting a lot of effort into your shitposts, and for what?

Go outside. Right now. Take a breath of fresh air. Smoke a cigarette. Text a friend. Go to the movies. Get some money. Save it. Go on a vacation.

Do something tangible. These issues that you worry about--Windows 10, Pajeet, ISPs, torrents--shitposting on Sup Forums does NOTHING except stroke the ego that has been created for you by the hivemind that is Sup Forums. You don't have an impact on these issues, and resorting to using outdated hardware and software and needlessly complicating your UX only hinders your development as a happy, fulfilled, and functioning member of society.

That being said, I run Lineage OS. I have a Libreboot X60. I use a T420 with Fedora. But I also use Google location services, Chromium, Netflix, because I prefer a convenient and familiar environment, without complicating my user experience and needlessly wasting my time.

You're wasting your youth here. Go do something. I love you guys.

>Your mother isn't a pleb for using an iPhone.
Yes she is if she buys an overpriced fragile piece of shit
>Your professor isn't a faggot for using Windows 10
Yes he is for using a slow piece of shit, should've sticked to win7
>without complicating my user experience and needlessly wasting my time.
Wrong on all levels

You talk about convenience but this point argues against you.
It's not just about privacy it's about using fast optimized software instead of bloated POS

Back in...2015? i was still using chrome, win 7 all updates, utorrent, skype, all sorts of harmful shit...and everything was crap, it was bloated, slow, you name it

After i changed to alpinelinux, waterfox as my browser, qbittorrent, and other programs, EVERYTHING, from OS boot speed, to browsing speed, to quite literally everything else has sped up x100 times and conveniently my hard drive isn't cluttered with a fucking 17.5gb win7 install, fuck that.

Privacy is just an extra feature (although an important one because if u let chinks and ad kikes sell your info you have no dignity), the main thing is speed and efficiency.

and i'd rather slit my throat than go back to bloated commercial/freeware software.

and what you don't realize is that shit like gentoo is not real usable software it's just a "stick it to the man" type of thing so your point is null.

Get sick of ass cancer, braidnead corporate tool, die in your own shit.

He's kinda right, ingress walk time.

>replying to bad pasta
stop using linuc faggots

This. Sup Forums absolutely btfo

Fpbp

tl;dr

Cringe

>qbittorrent
stopped reading there.

It is better than deluge or transmission

And this is where I know you are garbage

>t. iToddler

>This isn't healthy. You're not happy. You may be enjoying yourself, but you're becoming bitter, cynical, and hard to talk to.
that one hit too close to home.

I can feel the difference between Windows 10 and my Arch Linux installation. It is very much worth it.

>You're not happy
This is true. But I don't think technology can ever hope to fix this. Seriously the OS and other software I use has nothing to do with it not do I believe anyone is depressed for using a Linux distro instead of Windows or Mac.

>Smoke a cigarette
Die alone, stop killing people who were unlucky enough to have to sit next to you in a public place

>Using Firefox with uMatrix doesn't have a significant positive impact on your life.

And this is there part where you lied

I don't have to pretend, because I am happy when I see my waifu on my riced desktop/homescreen. I am also glad I spent one evening or something during High School to setup VPS with torrenter and private streaming site, so I can watch anything anytime I want while my normie roommate have to wait because "netflix doesn't have this season yet". It's great to use Firefox with uMatrix and other stuff so I don't have to look at ads everywhere, while normies cannot block shit on their smarttv. Also installing Arch greatly improved my productivity, since I can install anything I want from AUR and it runs way faster than Windows.
>Your mother isn't a pleb for using an iPhone.
She uses cheap android that fulfills all her needs, ie. taking photos and checking mail. She actually criticizes my sister for buying overpriced apple products.
>Your professor isn't a faggot for using Windows 10.
As far as I'm aware, all my professors use Linux. We only use Linux on lessons anyway.
>Smoke a cigarette.
No thanks, I'm not an idiot.

I tried the normie life, its not meant for me. I prefer the flat line of the mundane nerd to the roller coaster of emotions and stress of a normie.

Except removing blatantly intrusive ads, what does it do? Nothing. Stop lying you're not witnessing it's so called security features

What's the problem if OP is posting a pasta? That sadly doesn't invalidate any of the points that were originally made. In fact, if it get posted so many times it probably means that you were unable to find anything to say

It seems you are just a lost young man.
This century is kinda hard for you doesn't mean you have to shitpost here.

It's mostly about ads. But it also gives you more control and overview on what's going on with your browser. And it doesn't require any maintenance, there is no downside.

What is that school?
Here we are learning C on win7 with codeblock!
After 7 months the dev teacher said he will not teach us C++ because it's not possible in 3 years. :(

>Waterfox
>has sped up x100 times
It's funny because Watermeme is so shit that it's more slow than Chrome from 2015.

I also had C with codeblock in High School.
But since I got to university, all computers have linux installed and everyone pretty much uses linux. But it's not mandatory, we can use anything we want. Usually, we don't even have to use specific technology, so I've been using PostgreSQL on database courses and Rust everywhere else I could, which is pretty great.

gay

Universities here are all using windows, vs2010, oracle-db and all the specific applications are developed with cobol and fortran, except the newest ones (websites smartphone apps) that are coded with c#. :(

go to movies? nice try hollywood

That sucks, I guess.
What I also find nice here, is that professors actually do educate themselves and follow new technology, so they recommend new technologies like PostgreSQL, Julia, etc.

One of the better posts on this site. As soon as I got a job I stopped caring about 95% of the shit here lol. You guys should try getting jobs sometime

Install Gentoo

>postgresql
>new technology
L M F A O !

this is unironically me
I tried impressing a girl with my tech 'skills' and she was impressed but she calls me a brother (worse than friend zone)

As far as I'm aware, PostgreSQL became popular not that long ago and it's way more "modern" than other popular solutions like MS SQL server, mysql, oracle etc.

You dodged a bullet. Why would you want to be with someone who looks down on you because of your hobbies?

going to pick her up from the airport. How should I behave with this cunt? I've liked her very much for a couple of months but I can't seem to get over her even though she's clearly not interested.

Watch anime, huh.

He's completely right, that's the problem.

he's right except for
>But I also use Google location services, Chromium, Netflix
and
>Smoke a cigarette.

>You're not happy
I am happiest man on earth since my nofap started
>Ricing (...) won't fulfill you.
Thats why i have other things to do
>Spending two hours configuring mpv (...)
>two hours
>Using firefox with (...) your life
Thats why GNU/IceCat exists
>Is the Xiaomi (...) autistic
Yes you are pleb.
>You're not autistic
And you know me personally
>You're mother (...)
Yes they are
(Blah blah...)
>That being said, I use (...)
I dont care
>You're wasting your youth here. Go do something.
Suggestions?
>I love you guys
Awwww~ I love you too *hug*

This

Ditch your stinkpad and open source garbage and get yourself a Gateway m460 and a streamline productive desktop OS like Windows XP.

>Maybe you're just autistic.
>You're not autistic. You just need to get out.

So you tell me this post of yours will have an impact and won't just stroke your ego?

>He's completely right
Not really. Configuring proper workstation can significantly improve your productivity if you work in IT. Of course I'm talking about stuff like ad blockers, maintaining your system, configuring various tools and helpers, etc. not manually adjusting all the paddings and colors to make everything look like terminal.
Smoking a cigarette is not healthy nor good for you in any way, it can make you addicted and ruin your life.
Also abandoning your hobbies to blindly follow some ambiguous way of "proper life", formed from mass media and random strangers on the internet is the easiest way to get depression and lose sense of your own life. Are you feeling lonely? Call a friend, maybe make a new one and go grab some beer or weed and have some fun. Are you tired after whole day of work and feel like just watching anime for the rest of the day? Sure go ahead, introverts need time to regenerate energy too. Forcing yourself to be like other people won't make you as happy as these other people, everyone have different needs and the point of it all is to find a way to fulfill them. Just because Chad is having fun working out every day and fucking some slut with big tits, doesn't mean you'll be more happy in a shallow relationship and pumped up body, than watching anime or playing D&D with nerd friends.
I'm not saying to be an antisocial fat fuck who doesn't give a fuck about anything. What I want to say is that if you have a problem, go find the cause and work on it, but do not flip your whole life just because it doesn't seem normal.

netflix is totally shit but I agree with the rest

I agree with what you say OP. ive wasted my youth on installing cyanogenmod and other shitty things. I really regret not being a normie or learning a skill but gnu/linux, firefox, qbittorrent and ublock origin are comfy as fuck, I wouldn't have it any other way and I stopped caring how others use their device a long time ago.

give it to her nigga. Clearly state what you want from her. Betas get friendzoned because they dont have balls to say they like the girl. Just say you like her, if she says yes good for you, if she says no you can be sure she is not interested and move the fuck on. Stop doing her favors as well, for gods sake, she will think you are doing it because "Ur friends =))"

thanks dad

REEEEEEE FUCKING KILL YOURSELF YOU JEWISH NIGGER FUCKKK

Did you really write that?

Also, I don't do any of that shit but I'm not happy, depressed actually. But I just can't give a shit when I lay down in bed and watch trash on the big screen all day when I'm not doing any of my hobbies.

>Go outside. Right now. Take a breath of fresh air. Smoke a cigarette. Text a friend. Go to the movies. Get some money. Save it. Go on a vacation.
This wouldn't make me any happier, I've been there.

20 years old you fucking moron

>make thread with shitty pasta implying you're trying to help people
>never reply again in your thread

why?

>since my nofap started
That just means you're a shit person with a shit character.
Congrats.

If only I could have read this post months ago

...

I configure workstations, play with retro hardware and pump sluts... well, fuckbuddies.

>Picture of church
>You can't pretend forever
Stopped reading right there. Fuck you and your religion. If not religions we all by now woul be flying on our hoverboards!
Religions are reason why we don't have hoverboards! Fuck you!

which one of these guys are you?

short sentences one after the other isn't punchy, it makes you seem like a passive-aggressive valley girl.

>NEVER COLLECTIVELY ORGANIZE ABOUT ANYTHING DON'T DO IT, EVERYONE SHOULD BE THEIR OWN CASTLE BUILDING ANY SORT OF CULTURE SHOULD BE FROWNED UPON

One man is no man.

nah i'm too lazy to read all that shit lmao

i'd let the fat man run my operation

Is that a girl in that hoody? I bet she's a wild fuck.

Yeah I should go out and steal some rare orchids

>Smoke a cigarette.
I'm not a degenerate.

>You're not happy.
No shit.

Thanks OP, I'm struggling with a downward spiral right now.

My question to you is, why are you still here?

>Smoke a cigarette
>Go to the movies

Things dumb people do, excluding well-written documentaries and arthouse kino.

Praying is just as meaningless as fucking with computers

Having a loving teen gf is the only thing that will ever make you happy

Explain

>Sup Forumsreddit

:(

nofap is a meme user
it just means you're a weak person who can't even live their life how they want without doing dumb shit like nofap

Ricing my desktop and phone, deeply configuring my software and automating my torrents with private trackers is pretty fun though and fun makes me happy, had some beers with a friend this afternoon and setup one of my old shitboxes as a mail server.

Also I'm with you on the google shit, but why should I use fucking netflix when I can torrent a whole season of something in 10 minutes while I microwave popcorn and use plex's much nicer UI on my TV?

That's new in academic time.

You are not happy.

I'm doing pretty okay, I'd say I'm happy or at least not sad

>you're becoming bitter, cynical, and hard to talk to.

You say like it's a bad thing.
