It’s real easy to purchase your first home, all you need is a can-do mindset, an always-hustle attitude, and a small $2m loan from your dad. Anyone can do it!

maybe an unpopular opinion: fuck capitalism and corporate greed and all that, yes, but would you rather that space be used for a cemetary or housing? I don’t mind my bones being put somewhere with a shit view if it means living people don’t have to see that shit.

this is what is known as “a feature, not a bug”

It CAN BE amazing in certain situations. Ceo tomfoolery is what’s making generative Ai become a joke to the average user.

genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?

As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter… used to be for following celebrities but i’ve gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).

we need some sort of global tax for the rich but governments are incentivised to NOT make it happen.

eee ,

best option is some sort of support agent work which allows remote, but you need steady hours.

if she really can’t hold steady hours for whatever reason then fiverr is the next best option. or look up things like gaming where you can sell in-game currency or resources for money

Google Pay is officially dead in the US. Just got the email.

We are writing to inform you about changes to your Google Pay experience. As we continue to provide safe and seamless payments to users around the world, we are also simplifying the app experience in the U.S. For years, Google Wallet has been the primary place to securely store payment cards used for tap and pay in stores,...

eee ,

I don’t really remember what the names of Google apps are anymore. I just know there’s an app I can use to tap to pay, and I have a custom icon for that app (since all of Googles app icons are so similar it’s confusing).

Once they deprecate one app and move to the next, I’ll just change the icon on that.

This is in nobody’s interest except the shareholders of weapons manufacturers.

You forgot about a country called Ukraine there buddy.

I gotta say, of all the conflicts going on in the world, Ukraine/Russia has got to be the one with the clearest “good” side and “bad” side. Pick another conflict to be edgy about.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)...

Should companies work on improving access to services and making sure paying consumers get a better experience?

Nah, let’s spend more money paying lawyers to go after a few people, that’ll show em.

Damn those DEMONcrats wanting to over-regulate everything and stifle innovation! Small government forever! Er, hold on-

eee ,

that’s to stop people from spamming signatures with user+1@gmail, user+2@gmail, user+3@gmail, etc.

eee ,

Spamming user+1@gmail, user+2@gmail takes absolutely no technical knowledge whatsoever - anyone can do it with 1 gmail account.

Spamming user1@domain, user2@domain etc requires 1 of two things:

  1. you can sign up for multiple email accounts using a third party service. You’re going to run into trouble with Gmail or other big providers if you start creating accounts en masse.
  2. you create your own email server. this requires someone with selfhosting knowledge and some basic coding (or rather server config) experience.

Apparently smaller tech firms are loving office mandates, because it allows them to hire talent that they normally would not have access to at their budget.

what are they trying to pay with here?

ok your post was so incredulous that i went down a bit of a rabbit hole here… jesus i don’t know whether to laugh or cry at everything.

good summary btw. and the craziness goes even further… my favorite bit of “lore” is the fact that sovcits who operate a motor vehicle for non-commercial purposes can claim to be “traveling” rather than “driving” and therefore do not need a valid drivers’ license or valid plates on their car. MY SIDES

No, he tried to make someone else the bad guy, and ended up caving in as well.

Beehaw has pretty good conversation. I enjoy my discussions on their communities. It also has an extremely low bar for defederation – it’s defederated with even lemmy.world. I don’t like that, would not use that as my home instance.

Haha that’s an instance I haven’t heard about in a while… I personally blocked it because I want to talk to everyone on lemmy, not just half the population when I have a conversation on lemmy I don’t want to respond to a post that less than half the lemmy population can see, and they’ve defederated from the largest instances.

And i guess that’s the good thing about the lemmyverse - you decide what level of control you want.

eee ,

didn’t phrase that well, what I meant was when I have a conversation on lemmy I don’t want to respond to a beehaw post that less than half the lemmy population can see.

i mean, my phrasing sounded contradictory but the thought process is logical lol

Paraphrasing a common saying… If 100 people can’t pay the bank back, the 100 people have a problem; if 100 million people can’t pay the bank back, the bank has a problem.

i mean, it’s just a few peasants’ lives. who cares? what’s important is that shareholders and the rich can afford their third summer mansion and support yatchs.

eee ,

bass-ackwards

is this how kids say ass-backwards now, or is this an attempt to avoid the (nonexistent) lemmy profanity filters lol

eee ,

That’s still (slightly) better than apps which force close when they’re not updated, and don’t allow you to do anything at all.

eee ,

if that happens occasionally, it’s fine. I’ve seen apps which update every other week and do this bullshit.

Police officer fired gun while clearing protesters from Columbia building, prosecutors say (apnews.com)

A police officer who was involved in clearing protesters from a Columbia University administration building earlier this week fired his gun inside the hall, a spokesperson for District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office confirmed Thursday....

eee ,

to be fair the protesters aren’t really helping their own cause.

the last wave of social protests were maybe 5-10 years ago on sexual assault, and back then protesters knew to keep to public spaces. if you demonstrate on the sidewalk or organise a march you’re exercising freedom of speech.

but the new wave of protest organizers didn’t get the memo or something. when you do shit like block off a highway or occupy a privately-held building, you’re fighting on others’ terms. You annoy the heck out of the public, create ill-will, and give law enforcement the excuse of removing you for trespassing.

the fact that guns were fired (along with the fact that so many policemen showed up) is crazy, but removing these protesters was the right move.

eee ,

really? I haven’t used Bumble myself but I’ve heard stories of guys with inboxes full of women just saying “hi”

eee ,

they’re all owned by match.com anyway.

U.S. customers can buy a yearly subscription of Drive Pilot in 2024 EQS sedans and S-Class car models for $2,500

yeah, fuck that.

eee ,

first of all, you lost me when you pointed to reddit.

second, they protested not just within the office, but in the personal office of one of the higher-ups. If you blockaded your CTO’s office as a means of protesting world hunger, I don’t think that would go well for you either.

eee ,

I hope to God you wouldn’t be gleeful at me getting fired

I wouldn’t be “gleeful”, but I can definitely see why the company was within their rights to fire you.

This is like those nutbags who shut down a highway to protest the environment or something, then accuse the police of being un-environmental when they’re invariably arrested.

eee ,

I don’t think peertube will succeed in scaling because video streaming and transcoding takes so much more resources to run than lemmy, and I can’t see volunteers doing this for nothing in return in the long run.

Tens of thousands of lemmy users can be hosted on hundreds of dollars per month; I bet it’s 10x more for peertube.

eee ,

This is probably the main reason why I don’t use an iphone. I was surprised I had to jailbreak for such a simple functionality when I first got my iphone 4. That was my first and last iphone.

eee ,

That’s fair, but my objection to having kids is more due to the current capitalist structure than carrying capacity of the planet.

I don’t want to spend my own resources rearing another slave for billionaires.

eee ,

Lemmy is just weirdly pro-Hamas and anti-Israel.

Don’t get me wrong, I think what Israel is doing sucks, but what Hamas is doing is equally bad. This is really a both-sides situation.

eee ,

Also, doing wrong when done “in retaliation” is still doing wrong.

So… We agree that Israel killing civilians in response to Hamas’s attack is wrong, just as Hamas killing civilians in response to persecution by Israel is wrong?
