There's this dude on YouTube called oats Jenkins and makes better versions of things, he made a "traffic 2" video and in it he said something along the lines of "oh and you will need a permission ticket for a pickup added to your driving licence if you want one, so that only people who need a pickup truck can have one"

This is absolutely genius in my opinion, and I saw these big ass pickups spreading into europe, and like where I live (pretty small far away town of which there's a ton of in Europe) they would take up somewhere to 3/4 to the full damn road (I saw someone drive one and it really went like that those things are as big as a bus)

Think about it, without the kids having a way to fact check everything they would have to believe whatever they say, and that leads to my favourite problem solving method, propaganda!

Too bad when more and more people buy Apple phones for some reason, well at least where I live (which is the poorer part of central Europe), I have no idea how people can spend this kind of money for a 4 or 5 year phone, when you can buy something more capable for the same money and you will actually know it will get supported with updates for more than 2 years

Can't wait for this to be more widespread in the future to the point iMessage will be the messaging standard

Yeah, and you don't even have to use any software, you can just store it in a folder no one would care about, best hidden with a name resembling something boring no one would surely open

I live in the middle of nowhere in Europe and all is true except the outside picture and the fact that there isn't anything to walk to (except if you want to take a 20km hike trough a forest to get to the city, and then do another 20km back)

Honestly the Murder Drones "Worker Drone" is an awesome base design (the disassembly drone just looks like an emo version of the base design), if I ever wanted to be a robot I would be that, too bad they (canonically) run on core 2 quads(or maybe even core 2 duos), which I had the experience to deal with irl and even on Linux they're painfully slow

Now just finish off iMessage and we're done (I'm talking about categorising it as a gatekeeper, since what I've recently noticed is the amount of people who are close to me (classmates, old friends) that switched to apple is growing rapidly, and I'm now waiting for a day someone will be confused as to why I can't use iMessage (mark my words at least here in Czechia iPhone users are going to be a problem, I hope that the situation doesn't end up like in the US)

Well it's more correct than not having anything, and the sources are the data from before they removed them + the users with the extension disliking the video

The next step of evolution from "leave the multi billion company alone"

If people defend Nintendo when they shut down yuzu you will definitely find a few idiots that will worship a government of any kind

Could you possibly share the extension? Asking for a friend

And maybe Ctrl Z/Y (depends on layout with this one) to Undo and Redo

Edit:typo

Isn't this the point of this thing? To not have to use tik tok?

Hell I was born in the mid to late 00s and i grew up in the 2010s, but I still did this, we did have dialup internet (i lived and still live in the middle of nowhere, but now we get satellite internet) and I distinctly remember the time we went with my sis and some friends and a fucking massive storm appeared, I thought we were gonna die lol, I think I was like 10 or 11 at that time

Yes I am an European, specifically one of the eastern kind

I'm also a cis male and I got hair so thick it takes around an hour for the barber to just cut through the helmet I grew in a month, so no thanks I don't need it to be even thicker.

Best comment of the month award goes to you, genuinely made me chuckle

Where did you get a Capri sun with a plastic straw? Every since like 2 or 3 years ago they just do paper ones

I remember once finding one with a plastic straw 6 months after they switched to paper ones, it felt like a jackpot, I can't imagine they make them with plastic ones though

This, that is the only feature I miss from mobile chromium browsers, but the addition of anyways dark mode with dark reader is outweighing it a little bit

Exactly, I have never seen anyone actually talk about it except here

Ah, don't you just love when (a part of) the land of freedom advertises propaganda (or censors unwanted ideas more appropriately) against a minority from the early age

Doesn't even remotely resemble anything else /s

I am on the poorer side and living in one of the central European countries (yeah I'm a teen)

I only have a core 2 duo desktop with 3 GB of ram and a laptop with a i5 also with 3gb of ram, both only HDD machines

The desktop now runs Linux, but because it has components even Intel doesn't want to list on their website (the mobo) it runs it pretty poorly (also I bricked it somehow not run windows or any other usb install media, which is a big problem), the laptop runs windows 7 (it literally refuses to open the update utility I downloaded from MS's website, so that's that, two obsolete machines, that are absolutely horrendous to do anything with (not to mention my shitty 350$ phone is more powerful than both of them combined)

Why don't we look across the Channel and oh? What's that? A shiny sharp guillotine? Don't mind if we do

You'll just find femboy furry hentai, like everyone else.

Can't wait in 10 years when I can check my femboy friends search history after he dies from a heart attack (he excessively drinks energy drinks), I bet there will be shit like "femboy tentacle expansion" or something weird like that

I installed Linux a few weeks ago and it was on Tuesday I wanted to add some programs I had installed (it was mGBA and melonDS) to my steam launcher, I went through the hassle of making a . desktop file for both of them (I was dumb and used a Ubuntu based distro, so it installed as a snap, which sucks hard on a hdd) and then it wouldn't launch, I searched up again (I was using chatGPT for all of this, I asked it a lot how to do stuff, it's like this was it's purpose beacuse it always worked first try), did the chmod x+ command and then I was done

Just to see it not launch :/

Hot take, in places like eastern/central Europe it's better to use SMS over RCS or iMessage, I don't care that I can't pin an emoji to a message or a texting indicator is not there, I want it delivered and not with the overpriced mobile data goddamnit

Sad iMessage didn't get categorised as a gatekeeper, even though in here, the absolute ass of Europe called Czechia the iPhone market share is just above 1/3 of all phones active (which if I remember is way higher than it used to be) I completely expect for this number to rise, since people buy for the brand, and these brain-dead people are the ones to use the default messaging service, thus I can't wait to get shamed in 10 years for using my android phone and not being able to use iMessage

I am from there and I have to agree with him on the dot, every bigger (like 250 residents min) random village has a train station here

What's Kody? I've been thinking of getting a pc and setting up jellyfin on it and connect that to my tv, but I've never heard of Kody before

Must be an US thing, I live in Europe so it kinda makes sense

Never had kool-aid but heard of it, never knew they made a collab

Well first they support file uploads, second I feel like everyone I ever met from this instance was nice to everyone (sure that can be because it's smaller but it also has less controversies (i.e. what the dude I was replying to, the lemmy.world blocking us) due to the overall nature of this instance)

Went here for the file uploads, stayed for the community, that's what I can personally say

I'd suggest the switch for you

Idk, eternity, idk, jerboa, idk, idk, thunder, voyager, idk (boost maybe?), summit

Sorry to ask but where's sync? I know it's closed source but it's the most comfortable Lemmy client (I tried thunder but it felt a bit clunky with how the menus are designed) that also doesn't bug out like summit (for some reason when I open a post the title and the text above it gets shrunk to the smallest height possible and it's not readable at all)

I was a lot into drawing a few years ago, moderately good I would say, nothing exceptional I would say, then I got bored of drawing with a pencil and paper and wanted to try out digital drawing, never got one and I didn't draw ever since, I've had some hand injuries in that time (nothing serious but it definitely left a mark) so idk if I can still draw, and this just turns into a spiral of demotivation

14 year old PCs are quite capable for may everyday use

I got a core 2 duo (3gb of ram and a HDD as a boot drive, really ancient I know) computer, it's the only computer I have and I absolutely hate it since it sucks, even with Linux (xfce as a desktop) it takes so long to boot (usually 3 to 4 minutes, windows took like 6 to 7) and not to mention it being so laggy it struggles with launching Firefox and for example a file browser at the same time, and loading a webpage also takes a long time (around 20 seconds for Google, YouTube about 30 s)

Yeah, these computers are really just unusable even for really lightweight work, yeah "upgrade to a SSD, it will be blazing fast", wouldn't that just speed up the boot time? The least important thing? Since like I can just walk somewhere and then come back before it boots, but when I'm waiting for a webpage to load or a program to load up it's really that I do have to wait there, doing nothing in the meantime

Father in the corner, plotting world dominion (with his army of children)

Except I live in central/eastern Europe and most of these people were android users

It definitely is just a brand thing and the fact they maybe bought a shitty budget phone and then went straight for the iPhone 11s/12s and thought "this is so good and android sucks", because that's just the fact the price is 4 times higher compared to the old phone

For example for the same price you can get a pixel 7 or an iPhone 12 (or an Samsung A54, S20 FE or a flip 3, which aren't that great considering they are on sale currently, and I'm comparing this price to the normal prices of the other two), imo the pixel is a lot better value than the iPhone in that case

Also the retailer in question is czc.cz, probably the best retailer in Czechia for tech because others just focus on appliances or aren't as good (but tbh they do quite suck since they just for some reason have crazy prices or don't have some things other retailers here and around the world have)

Lol, for me it was similar, I had a few things I didn't like about lemm.ee so I ditched my account there and went here by accident (well just by searchimg and it fulfilling all my needs and a ton more things), ended up liking this instance a ton so it became my daily driver

Could we get the wallpaper maybe, please?

I like it across the road a bit more, you know, the fedora shop

Ducking autocorrect

I had a conversation with a friend from the US (I'm not, he's from Like the New England area idk where exactly), he's very conservatist, like the typical "I own a guy gun and I like it" type of person (lucky that he doesn't base his entire personality on it), and even he said that both options sucked ass and very much envied that most of the European countries have a sensible system of voting that has more than two parties, since when one sucks go to the another, and the possibility of all candidates being absolutely trash is basically zero when you got like 7+ parties, compared to the two in the US

If y'all had a functioning government and something that resembles capitalism (a few leading members while everyone else gets fucked around, sounds similar? cough Meta, Google, Microsoft cough and others) and had some competition it would go all way different than it's currently going

I was about to say that most apps should check the NT number but then I remembered that until XP it wasn't common to run a NT system, but then I remembered NT 4 existed basically in the same timeframe as 95 did, and even if the argument went to "it's a 9x application", shouldn't these OSes at least have some sort of build number or different identifier systems? Because as I said NT systems were around, so they would probably need a check for that
