Usernames in the Fedivers 😫
Why can you never change your username in Mastodon, Lemmy or Peertube? Is it a condition introduced by ActivityPub or a forgotten feature?

I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI
I’ve been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn’t take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced...
This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£ (jlai.lu)
Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice (lemmy.world)
luckily this is just a 32; i had a 70 from the same brand with the same INSANELY FUCKING STUPID STAND DESIGN that i had to find something for…literally at the most extreme edges of the thing, what the fuck is this? this is so fucking stupid, it cannot be meaningfully cheaper than a proper design and it looks fucking dumb as...
What is Reddit doing (feddit.nl)
I don’t use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn’t find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.
Elon offers Wikipedia $ 1 billion to change their name to Dickipedia (www.theguardian.com)
Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.
Seriously, Wikibooks? (sh.itjust.works)
It's incredibly ironic that ChatGPT constantly asks me to verify that I'm not a bot
Literally every single time I try open their app, I get asked to click the button again to verify that I am indeed human....

Corporate astroturfing is the norm
Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote “watch and movies that you love”. It’s always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything...
My daughter lost her social studies essay because LibreOffice doesn't have autosave on automatically.
This is about the most recent version of LibreOffice on Windows 10. I can’t speak for other versions....
Euro bottles are so much better now (toobnix.org)
I know they’re supposed to be good for the environment but… God I hate those caps.
When you have to use multiple browsers because one place doesn't work (kbin.social)
I use ProtonMail as my primary e-mail client. For some reason, I cannot get to ProtonMail to verify an e-mail that I used to register elsewhere. I keep getting the hourglass on Firefox. So I go a try Chrome and it's the same deal....
Someone purchased the old domain of a FOSS app, then it's using it to deceive users to download adware (feddit.it)
One of those two sites is distributing adware. Which of them?...
Nature Valley: 10 bars in 5 packs (lemmy.world)
I was in a rush and I needed to pick up a quick snack that I could eat during class. I chose these Nature Valley bars which said they had ten bars inside. What I failed to notice is the tiny print at the bottom where it says 5 x 2, i.e., 5 packets with two bars....

I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. (lemmy.world)
What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.
I bought a car with a bad engine
A year ago I bought my wife a Mazda CX-5 diesel and paid 10K for it. Now I found out that it has an engine defect that will be extremely expensive to repair, so the car is a write-off, at best I can get 2K back.
2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Actual size is supposed to be 1.5 (kbin.run)
I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you'd think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.
Has anyone here noticed how reddit has gotten more racist against Indians in the last few months (lemmy.world)
It’s something I’ve seen slowly starting to emerge over the course of the last year or so. Maybe even longer. There’s accounts that post stories to designed to shock people into thinking India is a terrible place. Like I get it. India does have issues. And it does have issues with sexual violence as well. But its a shame...
