This may sound dumb... An old Samsung phone I had years ago, came with alarms that gradually faded in. The most memorable, started with the ocean, and the seagulls... Then there was a fog horn in the distance. Slowly the horn got closer, and closer... Until it was all you could hear, and your alarm was going off.

I've looked everywhere for the sound file... It must be Locked away in a basement at Samsung somewhere.

One day I'll find it

I have used Ubuntu for years on and off, since the days you could have them send you a cd in the mail, with a free copy of Ubuntu. I recently installed Ubuntu server 22.04, and saw some serious red flags.

1. Ubuntu pro account - canonical send to be withholding security updates, until you subscribe. This was clickbaited during the command line install with "you are missing out on 97 security updates"
2. snap, although very slick, and quick to set up, seems very resource intensive, as to my understanding, if I install 2 snaps on my server, they will run 2 instances of Apache, MySQL, etc... Correct me if I'm wrong

Especially the first point, just gave me an idea of which direction canonical is headed in... And I think I for one will start to look elsewhere. Absolutely happy to be wrong about any of my points

6 months ago, it's "we want to scan all devices for CSA media", 2 months ago, "we want to scan all devices for DRM", now, "we want to scan all devices for phishing"

They're just rebranding the same thing over and over till nobody says anything... Get ready for it, guys, the end of privacy is here.

We were all thinking it, he just said it

More than happy to hear everyone smash on zuckyboy though haha. All of social media is a mess right now.

I'm starting to get portal 2 vibes here

My favorite is "IAALBNYL" I AM A LAWYER, BUT NOT YOUR LAWYER lol

This guy has a good financial planner.

WAIT... I thought that was the well...

Haha is this going to turn into some weird superstition, where anyone someone says Spez' name, everyone in the room spits on the floor and proclaims "Fuck Spez"?

Is this an app? If so, I'm guessing it no longer works?

I use Firefox as well. My uneducated concern. I once installed Chrome on my PC for something specific. During the install, it asked if I would like to import my saved logins from Firefox. I thought: "let's see". In fact, it unencrypted the file, and loaded all my passwords. So, my thought is, of someone was to gain access to that file, how hard would it really be to unencrypted it? If chrome can do it as part of their wizard.

Again, feel free to educate me, but that's my concern

Have you ever tried Linux?

I searched for years. Nothing really clicked... I've finally settled on ParrotOS. Their flagship is a pen testing distro like Kali, but they have a home distro as well, I've been using it for quite some time.

Stability is huge for me, and regular updates. Privacy focused, based on Debian.

Hope this helps your search :)

I think what I'm not seeing a lot of here is the 12 year old shitheads that just wanna troll everyone. Teenage angst, that's what you call it. I'm sure trolls exist on Lenny, but I haven't seen nearly as much of it

I always found the Canada news subs, the only posters were the mods, and everything in there was their political spin on things, trying to push their agenda... I guess what I'm saying is instances shouldn't be allowed to be an echo chamber for the mods

I've been amazed at how much "profanity" I've seen on Lemmy "all" page already... 6 hours in

I feel like this is the new version of "bum fights"

I agree with turtlelogo, but you just made me laugh out loud. This is what I missed about Reddit. I'm home

Canadian here. Because dentistry. Is. Sales. Not. Healthcare.

It's all about upselling you on the new toothpaste, the new treatment, the beautox injections, and spending thousands of dollars on that little imperfection.

I think the difference stands in that other parts of the world may still view dentistry mainly as a medical profession. In Canada, that's the side hustle now.

Disclaimer; I have no experience with dental profession in other countries, just my two cents on dentistry in Canada.

There are two types of people in this world, those who love puns, and those who lie.

I have to say, I loved when you would see some great drawn out thread, with each comment being an ad lib of some song, I always thought those were a lot of fun

That absolutely does. As much as I loved the ship one, and would love to find that one, I found the concept a very healthy way to wake up. Didn't panicked you, just got you up. Sorry, I may be living under a rock, is a one plus a phone? Or app?

If you're butthole squeaks... Please see a medical professional

Good bot.
