This is something people who call themselves tech nerds often don’t understand, they only seem understand “bigger number better!”. I have a vastly more enjoyable experience with a Mac than most Windows machines, (for many reasons, but most importantly for what you said).
None if you use a good adblocker, like you should be doing.
Found the bluesky user.
“Wow, you are really good at keeping in contact with people and focusing on relationships, what’s your secret?”
“A meerkat helps me.”
Well, yeah, it’s very good at making weird porn clips though. If anyone wants some very odd entertainment, go to /gif/ on 4chan and look at the reoccurring “/gg/ grok gens” threads. There’s everything from actually impressive and hot videos to the weirdest and most fucked up shit ever, it’s weirdly fun. Never seen anything really bad there, like CP etc. so I can comfortably recommend it for the lols.
Do you leave out words on purpose? It’s one thing to misspell something but I just don’t understand how you managed to just not write one word in both of your sentences.
And just for clarity, those words are “is” and “we”.
This whole post, including your point, is basically just mirroring what MVG said in this video: https://youtu.be/Evi6IDgjPD0
Oooh, look at mr. Rich guy here with multiple devices.
/s… (not really, cries in only computer being a dying laptop from 2011 with no way to get even just another dying 2011 laptop when this one dies.)
It never stops being so fucking weird that people choose to not use ad-blockers, and then complain about ads. Do you also not wear seat belts and then complain about neck pain after fender benders, or eat raw meat and then complain about getting sick? It’s just as dumb.
Funny coincidence of these two posts being right by each other.
NASSY
Waaaaay easier and cheaper to replace the lenses than a whole pole, including everything that was on it. And I think an angle grinder with some disks would cost about as much as a paintball gun with permanent ink ammo, and the former being much more bang for your buck in terms of damage done and also use other than for this.
“nothing will print us”
What?
Did you miss the “autoplay and highly personalised recommender system”? Those are the two big major differences and what makes people so addicted to tiktok etc. in a much worse way than forums in all forms (like reddit and lemmy). Reddit and Lemmy doesn’t have any thing that curates what you see based on your habits, that’s done by yourself or not at all.
I actually made three new friends on new years eve completely through mentioning Linux. We were at a party and I had a really bad year last year so I was rusty in the “talking to people” department, the few people I knew there, who are indie games devs that don’t use Linux, said something (can’t remember exactly what) that made me reply with a Linux joke and those three people moved their chairs closer to me with a “ooooh, a linux nerd, let’s fucking go” energy. We went on such a nerd dive that they party host told us that we aren’t allowed to talk Linux anymore or we’d have to leave.
We talked a lot more through the night and had to really concentrate to not get thrown out, haha.
That really doesn’t fit here IMO. It took decades of bullshit, law breaking, blatant spying, hostile persuasion etc. of US IT being forced onto the world, and without Trump and the fucking nightmare circus that’s going on this wouldn’t have happened. The world would have kept bending the knee and even inviting all of it forever, it took THIS MUCH to get the world to take a step back and realise that this isn’t a good thing.
Because the poll just ended… it’s been opt out since before the poll and nothing has changed, yet (if anything does change). How is this not obvious?
Quite*
I don’t see how few comments is a bad thing? Do you really sit and scroll through the vile idiocy that is tiktok comments? Nowhere does more comments etc. mean it’s better. If anything less people is good.
Oooh, very nice! Thanks for making and sharing!
