I think I like this more than corporate bullshit. :)

What’s Netflix? Ah right that service i cancelled over a year ago.

It’s illegal so of course they have to block it.

You can find pirated material on the web elsewhere so why is it important if it’s on Lemmy or not?

Imagine if the idiotic media starts writing about Lemmy as a pirate network or something worse.

It’s adult individuals running these servers, not companies. They would get punished in 2 seconds.

You want them to risk committing crimes for running a Lemmy instance?

If you want to downvote this, maybe you should run something illegal first in public and see how it goes.

The entire idea of fighting “for your country” is ridiculous to me. It’s not my country.

Almost the entire human race has no influence on the events that occur at all.

1984 , 11 months ago

Exactly, we get randomly born in a spot on Earth and then we are supposed to feel love for our country? Why?

Is there anything to be proud of for each country? All I see is politicians trying to gain popularity by lying, wars being started and finished with lies and propaganda, and citizens being generally unhappy and ignored.

This is how they keep humanity not moving forward. By making us focus on our differences instead of our similarities. An eternal conflict that never ends, preventing our species from focusing on other things than war with itself.

1984 , 11 months ago

I think I feel anger about it, but I have also given up on them. The future will only be worse. I think we were much better off in the 70s and 80s.

1984 , 11 months ago

It’s cute how they tell everyone we can just go vote to have a lot of influence on things too. :)

As if any of us has any influence on what’s going on whatsoever.

1984 , 11 months ago

Here we go again…

1984 , 11 months ago

Anti virus companies has also been caught making viruses.

A lot of shady shit happens when there is money and power to be had.

1984 , 11 months ago

Upgrade to get 3% performance gains on paper and no noticeable real performance gain!

1984 , 11 months ago

I haven’t found any evidence of this, but that’s to be expected… How would that evidence look like even.

But there has always been rumors of this. And since there is money involved… I think it’s not unlikely.

The argument against this is always “there are so many viruses, antivirus companies can’t create them all”. And nobody is saying that. It’s enough to create one high profile virus and you will sell your anti virus software very easily.

But I think it was more common in the past. Today all companies will buy anti virus software, so it’s guaranteed sales.

1984 , 11 months ago

Yeah I remember some company was but I can’t find it anymore. Web has been scrubbed… It was a long time ago now.

I think Murdock is the most evil man alive, but it’s a tough call, with so many evil men.

1984 , 11 months ago

Linux.

Honestly, not even joking. It’s just not something you have to care about when you run Linux.

One of the advantages of using a platform with like 3% userbase. But it’s a great platform.

No it would infect wine, not Linux.

Anyway I can see your point, but just in case the OP wants to try a different operating system where you don’t have these problems, it’s good to know about Linux.

There are virus scanners for it, sure, but they are hardly used outside of enterprise environments and there is almost no virus writers targeting Linux. It’s a different world.

Once you try it, you don’t want to go back to Windows.

1984 , 11 months ago

Of course it’s not a container but wine is a windows emulator running in Linux. So wine will be infected, which means your windows apps may be infected also.

1984 , 11 months ago

Thanks, that’s the correct word.

1984 , 11 months ago

It’s great for doing tasks like these, yup.

1984 , 11 months ago

I like the idea of showerthoughts but I don’t want to moderate it on Lemmy.world. I don’t believe in having all communities on one big instance called Lemmy.world.

Are you open to people from other instances moving it over there?

1984 , 11 months ago

Im sorry but its funny… :)

And well deserved by Blizzard.

1984 , 11 months ago

I started using it when the new theme came. I really like it and I started organizing my email again with rules and folders. :)

1984 , 11 months ago

Not only car free but we should use tech to improve our cities and exist in balance with nature.

We could start tomorrow if we didn’t have low consciousness humans running the planet.

Right now it’s ridiculous how stupid everything is, I can’t even follow the news anymore. :)

1984 , 11 months ago

I’m really sorry to hear this. If someone wants to target an instance and create enough work so it becomes impossible to maintain it, they can.

This is why we need to spread out on many different instances. Maybe you have noticed that every time Lemmy.world is attacked, there’s almost no content anymore. We can change that by spreading out and posting from different instances.

If a few of them are attacked, then it doesn’t affect the entire fediverse.

Microsoft: An error has occurred.

Oh thanks.

It’s bullshit. But not because aliens don’t exist, I believe they do. But this media publicity is clearly meant to be the buildup for some large fake alien threat.

9/11 was the most recent event that allowed the powers that be to grab massive amounts of power. Will the next be a fake alien threat? I don’t know. Maybe.

Link to the reviews: store.steampowered.com/app/2357570/Overwatch_2/#a…

There is something entertaining reading bad reviews, specially when it comes from shitty companies.

1984 , 11 months ago

I honestly havent noticed any chat bots here.

Bots that post articles, sure.

1984 , 11 months ago

I like the middle more, and then I’m too full for the crust.

1984 , 11 months ago

Ublock origin is better I believe.

1984 , 11 months ago

Stone him!

1984 , 11 months ago

Fastmail is great and has very fast user interface and lots of nice features, such as email address aliases you can create with a button click or integrate it with Bitwarden etc.

It costs money though, just so you know if you want “free” (nothing is really free).

1984 , 11 months ago

Ubuntu desktop version, it’s slow and buggy and the devs push ads and snaps and other crap.

1984 , 11 months ago

Really? It’s even in the apt update command when you update your system.

Stuff like this: askubuntu.com/…/how-to-get-rid-of-ubuntu-pro-adve…

1984 , 11 months ago

It’s better at blocking ads even. :)

1984 , 11 months ago

So create more technology communities on different instances? We have the technology for it now.

!technology

I created this one today because we need more, and we need to spread out. If you don’t want to join lemmy.today, start a community on your own instance. But spread out.

1984 , 11 months ago

I understand. Well we will se how it goes :)

1984 , 11 months ago

It really is unfortunate that almost all their users are asleep at the wheel and don’t care.

1984 , 11 months ago

I use it at work but gladly tell the boss… It’s only pluses if we can do more trivial work faster. More time to relax. They don’t watch what I do during the day. The boss relaxes also. All good.

1984 , 11 months ago

Very cute girls on that show, and funny. Really liked scrubs.

1984 , 11 months ago

Just an amazing human being and actor. If you haven’t seen The Whale, it’s highly recommended.

It made me cry though. It’s really sad.

1984 , 11 months ago

Yeah I’ve seen them all many times. They are sad and funny at the same time, its brilliant directing and acting.

1984 , 11 months ago

Yeah… Because it shows how cruel people can be to eachother. Thats why you got angry? Without spoiling…

1984 , 11 months ago

What phone do you have? I’ve never heard of an android phone not having wifi Hotspot…

1984 , 11 months ago

Happy to say I don’t watch YouTube much anymore, except when someone recommends some random video… And then I use Newpipe to watch it.

I’m just so over big tech. You know that feeling when you get so tired of a person that even seeing them from a distance fills you with anger? That’s big tech for me now.

1984 , 11 months ago

You really should pick PopOS, it’s the best one with excellent desktop experience.

Admin of Lemmy.today added all of the them yesterday. I like how fast old is actually, but I’m on mobile app almost always anyway.
