That could work. Wouldn’t help for any Lemmy apps though unfortunately.

You’ve proven my initial comment. The term is misused and then people like yourself come along and perpetuate it’s misuse.

Going from mucking around to abuse like there’s not a hundred other perspectives and factors at play.

You’re a fucking idiot

I think this one just morphed over time to be misused to excuse poor behavior. I always took as like boys rough housing each other and mucking about or eating dirt etc.

Kingdom Come:Deliverance. I started playing when in had a 1080ti and got pretty far, then I tried to upgrade to an AMD 6900xt. The AMD card performed worse than my old 1080ti on that specific game, which I later found out because AMD had (maybe still does) huge performance issues with the CryEngine.

After a month of messing about trying to get it to play well I ended up returning the card for a 3070ti instead and just never picked up the game again.

“Harden up” or “Take a teaspoon of cement” are my go tos.

I presume it’s Fairphone 3?

I got up to a pack a day when I decided to quit. The biggest thing that helped me quit was getting an app on my phone which tracked the cost and how many you’re smoking. When you start reducing the amount smoked etc it tracked how much money you’ve saved, how much healthier your lungs are (lung capacity etc), how much more time you’ve added to your life expectency, all that sorta stuff.

Having numbers and stats to track, made it feel more tangible and felt like I was making actual progress towards something.

Its worth a shot.
