1984

1984 , 28 days ago to linux in Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines

Yeah that’s true.

1984 , 28 days ago to technology in Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising

Maybe it is like that yeah.

1984 , 28 days ago (edited 28 days ago) to asklemmy in Do you like America? Why or why not?

No, but I like it more than China and Russia.

America is addicted to money however, and has a warped idea that working hard is somehow what life is about. But it’s still not close to fascism and there is some accountability still.

1984 , 28 days ago to linux in Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines

It’s cool and all, but I’m surprised it’s not 10% at this point. Microsoft is shitting in their customers mouth and Apple is a luxury brand at this point.

You guys complain but you never actually switch to Linux. :)

If you truly cared about being a technological slave, you would learn Linux tomorrow. But just like someone stuck in a abusive relationship, you hang around despite the horrible treatment because you are afraid to leave what’s comfortable.

1984 , 29 days ago to asklemmy in When did you completely fuck up your chance with someone?

Yeah. It can be seriously annoying to have people judge you for who you were once, or maybe never was even. Often other people’s perceptions are not accurate descriptions of who any of us really are.

It’s just life I guess.

You are Hillary Clinton?

1984 , 1 month ago to lemmyshitpost in That's just what happens. It's life.

Shit, even going from a semi active lifestyle to a 9-5 office job will add a belly if you’re not hitting the gym.

Only if you keep eating as you did before. People don’t change their diets as they get older. They seem unaware / not caring that the belly will come otherwise.

I think it’s partly just being OK with getting fat. If you are not attractive anymore anyway because of age, may as well enjoy whatever food you like. And if you are in a relationship, both partners are probably OK with looking not so great anymore as they age.

I’m not sure why this comment is so popular. If you travel, you see many countries on the planet where all women wear makeup all the time.

1984 , 1 month ago to nostupidquestions in How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?

I’m also trying hard to avoid being in the office, even taking pay cuts for it. I can’t sit in a damn office and write code. The stress from trying to block out people moving and talking is exhausting.

1984 , 1 month ago to linux in KDE Plasma 6.1 released

I love plasma. It’s no longer even buggy for me, and it’s really fast and beautiful. You know they are doing something right when windows and Mac users are impressed by it.

It doesn’t quite beat mac in terms of looks but it’s just so much more powerful.

This release is super important for Nvidia users to try.

Enterprise was my favorite star trek. I can’t even watch discovery, it’s horrible.

1984 OP , 1 month ago to technology in Snowden: OpenAI just went full mask off

It’s much more than ads and billboards. That’s not propaganda at all. I would call that advertisements.

What I mean with propaganda is government agencies putting false information to the public and acting like it’s true, for the purpose of swaying an opinion in the direction they choose.

1984 , 1 month ago to asklemmy in What do you all check instead of the news?

I think a lot of the meme content here is bots as well.

But since most users don’t post anything, it’s better than the alternative.

1984 , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) to asklemmy in What do you all check instead of the news?

Hacker news is often interesting: news.ycombinator.com

I started looking at summarized hacker news articles in the last month also, I like the format of this:

hackernews.betacat.io/#

But sometimes I check Lemmy instead. It’s a lot easier to digest for the brain.
