Reputations and lives will be destroyed
Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are
You cannot hide Your means are miniscule compared to mine. You now can either turn yourself in or you can cooperate
This guy talks like a moronic middle school bully. And the fucked up grammar (especially casing) is definitely on brand.
We need laws that make this illegal. I get it that they don’t want to support it for whatever reason, but electronic waste is already a big problem and you can’t convince me everyone is recycling their used electronics.
Oh wonderful! Another 10 years and we can use it natively without polyfills!
I’m so paranoid I would never talk about that over SMS. 😂
It’s so weird to me that Lemmy is full of anti-Windows, anti-Google posts but the comments are always “I’m thinking about switching.”
How about… just do it?
I don’t know what I’m trying to say but being 20 years into “Windows-free” a few years of “Google-free” it’s tiring. I know everyone isn’t me but it’s tough watching this from the other side.
Good! Sick of link shorteners, 99% of the time I’ve seen them used it’s for tracking and/or disguising the true destination.
You don’t use the `C:/>
I mean, it can be fun to tinker regardless. I have a shitty Dell Inspiron from 2012 that I run Linux in CLI-only mode just for fun.
In fact it used to run my entire smart home, run long-running background tasks (like syncing huge files from an NFS share to Storj); hell at one point it was bringing in passive income as I rented out hard disk space.
Who even has this kind of time? Get a life
The unnecessary hyphen in “un-authorized” really grinds my gears.
I don’t understand why it’s upsetting:
500 ÷ 2 = 250
50 ÷ 2 = 25
250 + 25 = 275
I like the “ransomware scumbag” language but at the same time, it feels like companies only give a shit about security after an incident.
I mean, I get it that Fahrenheit is stupid, but this is an American publication.
Love the proprietary app! I spent several months cobbling together a bunch of Docker containers that each apply a bundle of hacks I built through reverse engineering! Now I can control it via Home Assistant but I hope some guy that built one of the Docker images doesn’t disappear in six months when the manufacturer completely wrecks all our work with an API update!
It doesn’t help that most password managers kind of suck, you have to do a lot of manual work as a user sometimes.
I wish websites would start supporting Webauthn/FIDO2 sometime soon. I’m sick of SMS-based 2FA becoming more popular lately (like 10 years late).
Triple check your tax forms when you land a new job. I got my dream job but realized after the first tax year that they’d been deducting essentially no taxes so I had a very hefty tax bill that year. 😪
And if you’re looking for legitimate reviews, good luck! Everyone’s an affiliate now.
We have power outages from time to time in my part of SoCal, but the power lines cross through a fire hazard zone. Guess what’s causing it to become more hazardous? Climate change.
This is more about modernizing the grid and adapting to climate change (caused in large part by fossil fuels), and I’m happy to live in a state that invests in infrastructure while trying to solve the problems we’ve been dealt. I can’t say my native red state was doing anything remotely productive (unless the fed was handing out money of course).
I’m struggling with this now. In my 20’s I worked all the low-wage crap jobs but I was physically moving a lot.
Now I get paid a lot more to sit on a computer all day at home, and I still love computer programming, web development, building networks, etc.
The problem is I miss it being a hobby. I’m kind of burned out on our work project and sometimes I daydream about going back to work in fast food. Believe it or not I loved working in the kitchen at McDonald’s during lunch rush — it sounds fucking cheesy but my store manager and I used to race to see who could make orders faster without making mistakes.
Going back is just not doable now with the cost of living now.
Edit: I realize writing this makes it sound like I’m calling garbage truck driver a shitty job; my intention originally was to say that I miss physically working (and to an extent being in the world) but I veered off in my late night state
Counterpoint: I rarely see non-US news posted. I do from time to time here on Lemmy, but it’s very rare.
I might just be in the wrong communities though.
I hate that this is so black and white that you’re being downvoted. I’m the exact same way, but I’m by no means a bootlicker. I very much enjoy my job and love the work that I do, but I also don’t think most jobs are meaningful.
Two things can be true at the same time.
Annoyingly I go back and forth because whichever pronunciation I’m on sounds worse than when I hear it the other way.
It’s strange to me that they wouldn’t simply reassign control of it to another… erm, what’s the word?, at least for the technology-related domains.
Ha, bar! I moved across the country in such a fashion that I connect with no one and sit in my apartment alone drinking on Friday nights.
Sounds fun though!!
Yeah I don’t really understand how any of this isn’t fiction 😂
Streaming sponsored by bigoted religious animal abusers. Yeah no it’s gonna be a hard pass for me.
Probably because there is tons of known criminal activity, most chats are not encrypted, the CEO was just arrested, etc.
OP is probably interested in seeing the chaos of the platform without necessarily being part of it. I imagine that’s somehow seeing the illicit activity going on.
Yeah, this is pretty stupid. “Oh no! The cops use CarPlay??” and “omg they developed an iOS app, the horror!”
I worked night shift stocking shelves for a few years, but one day I had to work a day shift and had the opposite experience.
The store was so busy that I endlessly stocked clothes hangers for eight hours. It was full-on chaos and management was nowhere to be found.
I didn’t realize instances were doing this! That seems to go against the spirit of federated social media, FOSS, etc.
This is the language I use, once I started I never looked back.
I’d almost say they’re the default.
It bothers me that you never closed your HTML tag
Their app was so futuristic on the original iPhone, then it went to shit pretty quick. It looks/behaves like an unmaintained Ruby on Rails 3.1 app.
I’m not sure whether I place the blame solely on Cloudflare. I could be mistaken but my belief is that any US-based company in their position would’ve been forced to cave.
In high school I used to pass USB flash drives in an Altoid can (to protect it), good times.
I also used to be the CD-R guy (and later DVD+RW) for my group of friends, I was really into .cue
sheets and putting hidden tracks on those (including dumb shit like seeking back in the middle of a slow song would reveal heavy metal or something).
These days I host a Tailscale network — unfortunately with residential upload speeds being trash, I’ve moved all my Blu-ray rips to Storj and set up a WebDAV gateway on a VPS (running Tailscale). It’s fast as hell but I’m not in love with decrypting on the VPS.
How does anyone put up with using that OS? It’s 2024, it’s time to move on. Sheesh
Act II needs to have an overdone political scene where congress doesn’t want to pass the budget and almost shuts down the Fed meanwhile some hackers from try to take advantage of the situation or whatever
Just use IPv6
So Trump’s going to skyrocket inflation and debt again? Like he did last time and that this administration is finally in the late stages of cleaning up?
This happens basically any time a Republican president is elected. They shit all over the economy, tank it and finally when Democrats clean everything up these morons cry “I was better off under the guy that fucked up everything.”
I keep seeing everywhere that voters voted on the economy, yet no one seems to be pointing out the exhausting, blatantly obvious truth. It’s been happening for what, 20+ years now?
Republicans make a mess, Democrats are always forced to clean it up. So pardon me if I think the voters are idiots.
