  • Goodbye [System32 Comics]

  • I don’t know how people who block ads are so delusional to think that these websites would be sad to see them go, any more than shops would be sad to see shoplifters take their business elsewhere.

    I get why some people might block ads but don’t kid yourselves, you’re blocking the only revenue stream for most sites and it doesn’t cost you anything. I’m not taking about tracking of course, sites that track you can get fucked.

  • What are the most miserable travel vlogs?

  • You know you can view your history on YouTube don’t you?

  • South Africa asks Taiwan to move embassy out of capital

    Jump

  • I haven’t clarified this with the ultimate source of all truth (ChatGPT) but I’m pretty sure there’s not actually that many countries that officially recognise Taiwan as anything independent country.

  • Might need some cigs too...

  • I’ve managed to get myself into just one in the morning then rotate between water and tea for the rest of the day. I always crave coffee but it makes me feel shit and tired.

  • What is your linux backup strategy?

    Jump

  • I use OneDrive. I know people will hate but it’s cheap and works on everything (well, it takes a third party tool on Linux). If I care about it it goes in OneDrive, otherwise I don’t need it that much.

  • What are some of the rules about the Internet that were taught to you but are now completely ignored?

    Jump

  • Nothing that happens on the internet matters.

  • We'll have a long memory as things get worse for working class Americans, minorities and women

    Jump

  • And it’s crazy how normal Americans think this two party system is. It’s like no matter how bad you think your guy is, you have to vote for them because the other side is worse. They always talk about the Labour Party and the Tories as if they think they’re carbon copies of the Democrats and the Republicans and project all their issues into them. They don’t seem to realise there’s like five or six other parties that get a considerable number of votes and have representation in Parliament.

  • So now I have to PAY you to NOT store files on my device that I don't want?

    Jump

  • I don’t mind ads, but I don’t expect to be tracked around the internet. It’s like every website you visit being able to view your browser history. That’s private information.

  • Nintendo launches New alarm Clock named “Alarmo”

  • This is the kind of shit I don’t need first thing in the morning.

  • I’m from the UK, we call it The Plough.

  • The official support of Windows 7 has finally ended today!

    Jump

  • And it was the OS that introduced UAC. Vista took a bullet for 7.

  • Why do Americans call this the Big Dipper? What even is a dipper?

  • When we finally get to a 4 day work week, will you be happy to see Friday go, or Monday?

    Jump

  • I used to work a compressed week and started taking Monday but eventually it moved to Friday. When I took Monday off I felt like I had to pay for it with the next four days, when I took Friday it was like I was being rewarded with an early weekend.

  • If Lemmy ever really took off things would get harder. There’s quite a few subs but people barely notice.

  • My move to Linux

    Jump

  • I’ve dabbled with Linux for decades but only within the last year decided to make it a permanent switch due to a new career move. When I’ve previously used Linux it’s always been on a USB stick or something like that, so when something didn’t work I just tolerated it and ended up using Windows most of the time. By removing my Windows installs and doing a permanent switch I found myself more inclined to learn and fix the problems, though most of it is simply searching and searching until you find someone else who’s already solved it.

    It’s not exactly been a smooth process, and in the end I ended up dual-booting both of my machines with Windows just for the odd thing that I couldn’t be bothered fixing, and it’s kind of silly that both of my Windows installs were so easy and set most things up automatically compared to the Linux ones. While I like Linux it certainly isn’t for everyone and I don’t care what anyone here says but Linux won’t be a desktop of choice for normal people for a long time, if ever. If the year of Linux ever happens it won’t be because everyone suddenly wakes up one day and decides they love FOSS, it’ll be because someone like Google rolls out an incredibly locked down version, such as ChromeOS, in a way that works for most people. The year of Linux won’t be what people on here want it to be. And I still think the Linux community has so many people in it with a shit attitude that people are often driven away just as they’re dipping their toes in. I was just looking at a post this morning that was asking the exact question I had and the first reply began with “Did you even bother to read the wiki?”.

  • X fails to avoid Australia child safety fine by arguing Twitter doesn’t exist

  • $400,000 isn’t even that much for a company like this, it might’ve cost that much just trying to fight this.

  • Centerists

    Jump

  • Is this kind of stupid rhetoric that sows the divide in US politics and it’s why places like Lemmy and Reddit are just echo chambers. Just saying people who have the opposite few are stupid and should be ignored does nothing to address their concerns and they still get a vote at the end of the day.

  • Still relevant, just substitute for win 11

    Jump

  • I remember defending it online against a bunch of Linux users and I got told that the UAC prompt is overbearing while having to type your password is fine because it’s just “muscle memory”.

  • I don’t know if things are different in the US but I haven’t seen much indifference to the bombing of Palestine. I’ve seen an awful lot of mention of children killed, etc.
