You fucking moron!

Do we have NotTheOnion yet? This is perfect lol

Not so great. My mom died a week ago, I got fired 6 weeks into paid family leave and I’ve started to realize that drinking is becoming a habit :(

Only good can come from shutting out corporate interests. Good on you ❤️

Make them more efficient and make them run cooler. It solves way more problems than making them 18% faster then following year.

As someone who just got fired while on family leave to care for their mother on her deathbed, I feel this.

Think of all the breastfeeding children we could save by making white screen black. SMH. Fuck Nestle

After the stadia debacle, I doubt anybody trusts Google with gaming. It's only been six months lol

They truly deserve all the clowning they're going to get for this

I think the biggest issue with Google hardware is that there is always at least one huge flaw. My pixel watch for example has terrible battery life. My 7 Pro display got a green tint and died while I was using it to navigate, after two months. I RMA'd it, but the display I got back had a disabled fingerprint reader.

It's always a gamble with Google hardware sadly. :(

While it's great that their aim is a 1:1 teacher to student ratio, I am a bit wary of ChatGPT being used to teach people. Especially given that a group of lawyers cited ChatGPT and landed in hot water after it was discovered that it was actually just making shit up lol

That being said, its ability to facilitate code / functions / snippets is very good. I suppose it all depends on how it's implemented.

It's been neat seeing the subtle UI changes and seeing new features get added in. Thunder may end up being my daily driver.

I had no idea about this actually. What are some good books or sources to read up on this? That's fascinating

Thank you 😔 this is easily one of the worst weeks in my life.

Limiting people's ability to view ads was only the start, it seems. Genius!

Something one of my college professors pointed out a long time ago is that a lot of DVD players and smaller consumer electronics ran a custom version of Linux. Here we are 10-15 years later, with Android being easier to work with. It's probably replaced a lot of those Linux installations.

More on your point, the giant smart display/kiosks in each room at the allergy clinic I went to last year still ran Android 10. Because I had to spend long periods of time alone waiting to see if I was allergic to things, I ended up tinkering and managed to get it out of Kiosk mode and setting a security policy lol (don't worry I reverted my changes and let them know!)

Thank you. Yeah, I’ve been applying to places but a lot of job postings these days are scams. Alcoholism killed my brother just under 2 years ago so I generally try not to drink. Ironic eh? :/

It was tough at first, but I haven't logged in or looked since deleting all of my comments. The only time I go there now is when I absentmindedly click a Google result.

I'm not gay but five bucks is five bucks.

If they could get away with it, they'd remove instructors and support as a whole and just replace them with AI. It's so much cheaper to automate everything and at the end of the day it's all about money to them.

If they can count an AI process as an instructor, they're going to do it until it screws up lol

Liftoff feels like a love letter to Relay for Reddit. It's just missing a quick toggle to move thumbnails to the left or right in compact view.

Props for referencing the NoPoop meme in the settings too 🤣

Honestly hope is what keeps me going. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words. There’s been a lot of that the past month or so. At this point I am probably going to start over.

Their complete disregard for users, mods, and devs has completely shifted my interest away from Reddit. Even if they weren't shafting third party apps, spez has completely burned any goodwill they had.

Reddit has, in not so few words, stated clearly that it doesn't give two shits about us and is purely chasing profits at this point while monetizing user generated content.

Lemmy may be in its infancy still, but the memes are dank and the posts have genuine engagement. Also the little Lemmy rat is cuter than Snoo. 🐀

These days yeah, sadly :(

It was interesting. A buddy and I were out riding our motorcycles and endeavored to "get lost"

Took a few pics lol https://imgur.com/gallery/xGUsnOb

ZorinOS is a pretty good and consumer friendly "distro" if you can call it that.

ITS RAININ SIDEWAYS

2 or 3 of those would cause pretty extreme screen dimming and slowness with my Pixel 7 Pro. I drive a lot so now it's my kiddo's daily driver lol

Dude, same. It's getting some pretty bad reviews too!

Assuming stuff was still open, I'd go to the bank and deposit it immediately.

Afterward I would pay off every debt I have online.

After that? Pay off my sister's car and my girlfriend's college debt. Then probably rent as far in advance as possible.

I honestly wouldn't have much time after doing that so I would maybe do an online grocery order to stock up and then seriously make a random DoorDasher's day.

It legitimately feels like they're putting every single effort regardless of consequence into the IPO, then selling out / taking severance / etc. Iunno, it's their problem and not ours now 😁

Ya know, I used to be a pixel fanboy. I've had every mainstream pixel from 1 to 7. After a botched RMA for a dead display, the fingerprint reader is now disabled. I've been ghosted by support about the new display so now I've switched over to Samsung.

I'm a former Apple employee and have had enough of their shit. Everyone at the office was drowning in the kool-aid. I'm done with iOS 🤣

Oh man. I've got a bunch of these saved on my computer, all slightly altered for different topics (e.g. from a dog's perspective). The NavySeal copypasta is a timeless classic
