This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

im a gardener. some apprentice who has never owned a computer, not bcs they couldnt afford it, but bcs due to mobile phones there simply is no need for it, asked me how to shut down a computer. not kidding. it wasnt even some obscure gnu/linux distro, it was bog-standard windows 10.
See, there is a bit of nuance to this. Windows has multiple shutdown states that make the computer appear off, but actually put the computer to sleep. The apprentice probably didn’t know that but this is lemmy and if I can’t “actually” someone with worthless information here, where can I?
Hey boss, I want to shut down the computer, should I turn it off completely or do you prefer sleep, if yes which sleep state?
