FinalFallacy , 11 months ago to linux in Why is openSUSE so... weird?

I use it because 22 years ago it was more appealing than redhat or Mandrake. It forced me to learn more about Linux because I had to resolve almost everything myself than any other distro. I was using before it had a package manager and honestly after the dependency hell of rpms in 2000s it just seemed more problematic to use one that resolved dependencies than not. Usually I used to and sometimes still use it for a nice base to compile everything on. I dunno. It's my Linux equivalent to my first car that I loved.

Acting like there's only one true community and anyone else would have malicious intent. Jesus Christ man.

The old Facebook app was the first one to convince my phone listens in on my conversations. I haven't touched anything Facebook since 2013.

Arguably the location data has several purposes, and needs to be collected but shouldn't have been available for sale. It's bad enough you can't keep law enforcement out of it but even worse when random businesses get the information.

That said, in this day and age, it should be a no brainier that your phone is a tracking device for multiple organizations and we should all keep that in mind

Right? The implication here is pretty fuckin' terrible

FinalFallacy , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in why are words like Rape and fuck only censored with one letter being omitted?

I've been raped and it's hard to have honest conversations now days because of this superficial escapism. It's definitely not an easy subject to discuss but hearing people say shit like "They've been graped" or "r@ped" seems to cheapen the gravity of the word and the experience. It's a word and topic that should make people uneasy and uncomfortable. On the same token people should be mature enough to see and hear these things or mature enough to leave, move on or skip it if they aren't able to handle it.

Uh, I'm trying to find out if we're getting paid before or after the holiday?

FinalFallacy , 1 year ago to workreform in Millennial and Gen Z employees are rejecting assignments, turning down offers, and seeking purpose. Here's what they expect of their employers, according to Deloitte’s latest survey

I don't even think that actually touches on the point here. People want purpose, meaningful purpose out of the thing they spend most of their lives on. Unionizing isn't going to give you job satisfaction if you're a data entry operator unless that's something you find fulfilling.

I work in IT and used to be passionate about computers and the internet but now I want to do something else and get away from the grind of IT work, where nothing is ever completed or provides a sense of accomplishment. There's no meaningful purpose in it for my life other than a paycheck.

Unionizing might help with getting better pay for work but in terms of actual purpose, fulfillment and job satisfaction unions are as useful as advocating for a car club when I'm changing my oil. Completely unnecessary and unrelated and doesn't address the goal at hand.

This is something that's an individual pursuit beyond days off and pay.

Devil's advocate but Edge is just reskinned and revamped chrome so it's not the worst thing imaginable.

FinalFallacy , 1 year ago (edited 1 year ago) to youshouldknow in YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private

Isn't that kind of the point? You don't get very far hiding in a social setting. You're on a public website talking to other people. Your posts should be public, comments, etc. At least people should treat all websites or apps they didn't develop personally like they're public. I mean you don't really have a right to privacy in public.

And I'm not trying to say this with some malicious tone or anything but it's just my view on it.
