No, that’s a roar.

A New Low: Just 46% Of U.S. Households Subscribe To Traditional Cable TV (www.techdirt.com)

The “cord cutting” trend cable execs spent a decade claiming was a fad just broke another round of new records. According to Leichtman Research, major cable TV providers lost another 1.7 million subscribers last quarter, as users flock to streaming, over the air TV, TikTok, or, you know, books. Roughly 17,700 customers cut...

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Seriously? 46% is so damn high! I have a hard time believing that. Is it just because there are so many baby boomers still out there or what? I can’t imagine paying for commercials. The last time I had cable was 16 years ago.

What are we all using for video chat in 2023? (kbin.social)

The last time I tried to make video chat work with people, we dived between jitsi, facebook messenger, zoom... until something worked well enough. what are people using here now? Jitsi? Google Meet? Whatsapp? Facebook Messenger? Zoom? Skype? Facetime, somehow? The builtin thing in matrix that used to be jitsi but I think they...

Not everyone’s friends are idiots.

Way too many Lemmy users don’t care about running Free and Open Source Software.

California targets smash-and-grabs with $267 million program aimed at ‘brazen’ store thefts (apnews.com)

California will spend $267 million to help dozens of local law enforcement agencies increase patrols, buy surveillance equipment and conduct other activities aimed at cracking down on smash-and-grab robberies happening around the state....

Thank goodness, we must spend hundreds of millions of public funds to protect our precious luxury stores! Why should they be forced to pay for their own security when society depends on their goods?

Chop off his hand as punishment. It’s the only way.

Let’s hope he doesn’t and they sue him for everything he’s worth for the next 30 years.

Atheists, is there anything religious that sticks with you to this day?

I am Ganesh, an Indian atheist and I don’t eat beef. It’s not like that I have a religious reason to do that, but after all those years seeing cows as peaceful animals and playing and growing up with them in a village, I doubt if I ever will be able to eat beef. I wasn’t raised very religious, I didn’t go to temple...

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Not really. I try very hard not to let myself fall prey to so-called “cultural religion.” I don’t celebrate any religious holidays like Christmas. I try to be as aware as possible of the religious influences in my daily life and avoid them. It’s not easy, though! Religion has infested so many facets of every culture, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Your wrong. It’s literally the Christ Mass, come on now. People don’t put fucking mangers up all over the place for nothing.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Pretty fucked-up that your parents sent you to a religious school, and then didn’t even prepare you! Glad you made it out okay.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

It sounds like you don’t understand what atheist or agnostic actually mean.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

I would never suggest doing away with Bach’s or any other sacred music or art. They can and should be appreciated in their proper historical context.

I don’t think it’s at all fair to say we have ended up in a “culturally poor” place. People are still producing all kinds of cultural contributions without religion. If anything, it is capitalism that has commodified culture causing some of the decline we see today.

Security. You run apps in a confined, sandboxed environment and choose what they have access to on the host system. This is particularly important for third-party apps. It’s much safer than installing some random deb you found on the web or adding a third-party PPA.

Researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have developed

scitechdaily.com is such a garbage site. They do the worst anti-science clickbait like this all the time. I block them wherever I can.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Yes, I had to scroll way too long for this! One of my absolute favourites.

More reason I wish devs would stop using Electron and stick to PWAs. Then you only have to update a single browser.

I find it amusing that it’s taken Apple fans this long to realize this.

Why is Biden still building the fucking border wall? It’s absolutely disgraceful.

College students are still struggling with basic math. Professors blame the pandemic (apnews.com)

Colleges across the country are grappling with the same problem as academic setbacks from the pandemic follow students to campus. At many universities, engineering and biology majors are struggling to grasp fractions and exponents. More students are being placed into pre-college math, starting a semester or more behind for their...

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Don’t these colleges have any admissions standards? What’s going on that they’re admitting these idiots?

I won’t switch to Wayland until the compositor is separated so that when GNOME Shell crashes (as it does a few times a month), I can restart it without losing all my running apps.

WTF is BeReal?

ThatHermanoGuy ,

I will admit I’m still using Reddit for a few more days until Infinity stops working (for free)!

lol, Denmark has an official state religion!
