we fuckin are now

helped with formatting:

Chrome -> Firefox

Drive -> sync or Dropbox or any number of options

Sheets and productivity tools > libre office or Apache open office

YouTube -> Invidious or even better, odysse

Google search -> duck duck go, SearXNG, StartPage, etc

Gmail -> not a ton of great options. I’d probably recommend proton mail but the FOSS email world is definitely lacking, or gets blocked or goes down, harder to self host etc.

And I agree for sure. In order I use firefox (and brave sometimes), Proton Drive, Apple Productivity suite (pages, numbers etc), and either startpage or qwant, and proton mail. I do still use use YouTube Premium, but the point is Google doesn't need to have its fingers in every aspect of my digital life.

Dadspace - A game of smoking meats and questionable fashion choices

Let's start small. Can we do a Christian Selig AMA first? I think that would be a decent flagship that might draw the attention of the press. That way we have something proven before we start getting in people who have PR teams...

Plastic Surgeon here; this is what we in the business call “fucked up”

memory hole

sick turn of phrase, i'm stealing that

I love when articles use “may” to cover the lack of story lol. I “may” get pizza for dinner, but I also likely won’t. Anything’s possible

This might not be an answer but my worked also requested us come in 2 days a week. So I ride my bike in around 11am and back home about 1pm. WFH the rest of the hours. I’m all about malicious compliance.

you’re just a whiny baby whining about baby stuff

Title of my sextape

that's in the DLC - dad loadable content

Can we just sunset google altogether

This is an awesome visualisation, but the subtitle is the best part

aka "THE WHO'S FUCKING WHO"

I don't know if you need to hear this or not; but you also don't have to donate your time to anything for free anymore. Nobody would blame you for throwing in the towel (if you feel you need to, that is)

I lie on the internet fairly regularly as weird precaution to make myself less identifiable. I don’t want any of my accounts to link to eachother, let alone back to me

I am a big believer in decluttering and getting rid of stuff that no longer has value to you. But I also take photos of everything before I get rid of or sell them. Old letters, drawings from children, small collections, large collections. Maybe I’m sentimental, but I don’t need the physical object to remember the feelings associated with it. But a photo helps

They didn’t say that. They just said it’s better, but didn’t mention their rationale. But IMHO opinion, it being FOSS makes it about a million times better than HEVC alone

No need to assume, you can see this on all of their comment history. They are claiming ownership of their words, or in the context, ownership of how they’ve arranged others words

There's a FOSS app called Rectangle that does the same thing. I just saw that spectacle is no longer being maintained.

I just canceled our last holdout (appletv+, who put out a surprising amount of S-tier content) in order to pay for real-debrid.

I've switched over from mulitple apps (including plex) to a single stremio+torrentio and I don't understand why I didn't do this sooner. Anything I want to watch streams immediately in 4k. altho I might upgrade to premiumize.me instead because they use usenet and ddl links, so more likely to have older content.

I don't have a proper solution for my iOS phone yet tho, but I rarely watch content on my phone anyway.

I don’t want to keep harping on about AI, but seriously. AI. I work in the creative sphere, and Adobe are (finally) earning their subscriptions. Lightroom’s new denoise DNG tool is massively impressive and not all that resource heavy. Photoshops generative fill solves so many problems with photo manipulation, my team is saving hours a week. On the video production side, crumplePop’s suite of audio correction tools is a game changer, and davinci resolves 18.5 beta has so much that we haven’t explored but I’m excited by.

Also, 32-bit float. Holy shit. It’s like recording audio in RAW. I no longer need to consider resourcing for audio production on smaller jobs.

Hey friend, there’s no need to fear the possibilities. If you are the person named on the ticket you will be able to board. Tickets nowadays can be scanned a multitude of ways, most airlines I’ve flown with the same scanner can read QR codes, barcodes and whatever the SMS style code is called. This isn’t about reducing options for you, it’s about increasing them. If you feel more comfortable with a printed boarding pass then they will be happy for you to do that.

But in answer to your question, there’s nothing special about the cardboard the passes get printed on, it’s just to make it less likely that you’ll lose it or throw it away accidentally. But even then, you can just present ID at the ticket gate, they’ll verify that you’re who you say you are and let you on. So what I’m saying is; give it a shot. You’ve got nothing to lose.

Seeing lemmy posts on kbin this morning has me so excited. I don't even know how the R site can even compete with the fediverse at this rate

They mention this in the article

woohoo federation!

bro wtf we are actually living in the future, i just followed the equivalent of someone's twitter from the equivalent of my reddit account

I for one am grateful that when we make earth uninhabitable for ourselves that ants will become the dominant species. they're so fucking cool.

my partner, her friend and I traveled to another city 4 hours away to go see a musical. my partner found the accomodation on booking.com

when we got to where the apartment should be, we couldn't find it. we looked around for ages to no avail. found a police station nearby. we asked them if they knew of the address. they pointed to the building across the street they said had been abandoned for 5 years. when we tried to call the host it went thru to an international phoneline in a different language.

oof

My choice is haugene/transmission which doesn’t open unless it has a connection to the VPN. Great for PIA, but I’m thinking about switching to proton unltd so will have to do some testing in another container before I take the plunge.

Well, for one, you’re reducing your lifespan, so you’ll be less of a burden on the healthcare system later in life because you’ll be dead. But that’s obviously ignoring the massive burden on the healthcare system you’ll be when you’re being treated for various cancers.

not really a striesand effect but I'd never heard of hetzner until plex blocked them and now im heavily considering moving my library over

I'll respectfully disagree here; activitypub isn't catchy and it's too many syllables. Kbin lemmy and beehaw all pass the "correct-number-of-syllables-and-memorable-without-being-common-words" test.

But I prefer fediverse overall anyway. I'll tell people that i use the fediverse and made my account using kbin. i think that says it all, really.

owwwy sharp (do do do-do do-do do do)

Just want to mention Librewolf which is also FF based and has no telemetry out of the box, as well or ublock origin installed by default.

It's not just the toxicity but the intense hivemind. I flicked back to check some news and saw an article about Pete Davidson crashing a vehicle into a building and to my recollection it was really the only controversy he'd been a party to, but because he's on the Reddit's Most Hated list every comment was picking apart every perceived slight, calling him terrible names saying he was washed up, waste of space it was just like... guys take a fucking breather. He's a human person, sorry he dates celebs.

Cunt, I’ll say cunt as many cunting times I like

With love, Australia

Yeah I have a feeling the capitalism house of cards would tumble if unpaid work was taken off the table completely

A lot of it distills down to whether or not someone has been hurt by your actions. Even tangentially.

That some day all of the good things in my life could disappear, without me even doing anything. The fleetingness of real happiness and the fact that constant euphoria is unattainable. That I’m not living up to my potential, that I’m being exploited and under valued, that I’m never present for my emotions because I self medicate and distract.

Also my dad just died and I didn’t think it would affect me much because we didn’t have a great relationship. But yesterday I woke up from a dream where he was alive and the happiness I felt to see him again was immediately crushed by the relalisation that I would never see him again, and he’d miss everything from here on out. I was inconsolable, still am tbf

But also I’m in therapy and take prescribed meds that work for me, so I’m doing my best.

yeah you're right, we should just throw in the towel? tf? im gonna guess you couldnt give af about slave labor either?

It’s also way more doable if you quit your current job and find another career that will not only encourage training in these areas, but financially compensate you for it, too.

I stopped reading at bonus, where do I sign??
