I’m reading this at Amsterdam airport. Trying to get the hell away from here asap.

Dick Head… his name was Dick Head.

I agree his answer sucks, but perhaps the fault still lies with the distribution developers (who should know better), not the authors of systemd. In that context I can understand the resentment expressed by the dev. It’s not directed toward the end user but toward the distro developers, who have implemented systemd in a broken and dangerous way.

Farting

Farting is an essential day to day activity. It helps maintain a healthy lifestyle and keeps bloating away. There are multiple types of farts, but the most common way to categorize them is by the loudness/stinkyness ratio. Essentially, the louder the fart, the less stinky (fully silent farts are the most nocive for surrounding...

I misread the title as “Fire men convicted of massive, illegal streaming service” and was wondering if they were broadcasting fires

Others said their local offices had closed since the pandemic

This part is wild. So they closed down the office and then punish the employees for not coming into the office. Tell me this is illegal.

The elephant is hiding. Do not let it know you can see it. The illusion that it has found a good hiding spot must be maintained at all times.

It’s such a rated movie.

tias ,

I’m just tired of the trend of saying things are underrated, when they’re really not. The Big Short is a great movie and it is rated as a great movie. So it’s not underrated or overrated; it has a great rating and deservedly so.

Also it’s only a conspiracy if there’s intentional disregard for the best interests of people whom you are intentionally hiding information from. Where I live they were pumping out hormones into the river all the way back into the 60s, screwing up fish life. But it’s because they were ignorant and dumb. This is from the same time when the government had a campaign for people to weigh down garbage with rocks before throwing it in the sea, because it’s unsightly when it floats.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

When you buy something you should be able to pass it on or sell it to someone else. This “the software not sold, only licensed” BS should be illegal. Either you rent with a monthly fee, or you buy it and own it. Owning something means you can sell it to someone else.

An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install?? (sh.itjust.works)

You’re twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You’ll be leaving for Grandma’s in about a half hour, and she’s lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and...

But because it’s all opinion, it gives me nothing except “some guy on the the internet has an opinion”. I can’t do anything with it, especially not form an opinion of my own. It’s just a waste of my time. Mind you, I already am of the opinion that Tesla is going to shit but I found very little in this article to substantiate that opinion should I need to argue for it myself, and the headline is just a plain out lie that that has no basis in the body text. It’s poorly written at best, and intentionally misleading at worst.

For people who are as confused as I was

tias ,

They had so many great innovations over the years, the problem is they kill them off because they somehow can’t figure out how to monetize stuff that people want. It’s like if they can’t get the money from a third party, they’re out of ideas. I would have paid a monthly fee for Google Reader (not much, mind you, but I bet $1/month would have been enough to keep it running). I am now paying for Kagi because I prefer to be the customer and not the product.

Professor sues Meta to allow release of feed-killing tool for Facebook (arstechnica.com)

The tool is nearly ready to be released, Zuckerman told Ars, but the University of Massachusetts Amherst associate professor is afraid that Facebook owner Meta might threaten legal action if he goes ahead. And his fears appear well-founded. In 2021, Meta sent a cease-and-desist letter to the creator of the original Unfollow...

Zuckerman vs Zuckerberg. Who will win, the man… or the berg? Either way, they’re both Zuckers.

This is the only way I ever publicly share any information about my travels. Don’t want to advertise that there’s nobody home.

tias ,

Am I the only one who doesn’t think vacation equals travel? It just means you don’t have to go to work.

tias ,

25 days off per year is minimum by law in my country. I have 36. Would never be able to afford traveling for 36 days (plus weekends) every year though.

Do you practice self care?

Hello. Let’s talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I’ve been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it’s definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where...

tias ,

Meditation with help from the “Waking Up” app changed my life. I tried some other apps before and they’re mostly just about stress relief which doesn’t help you grow. This is different.

That typo is hilarious

tias ,

Watching from Europe I have no idea what the problem is. The US spies on our data, the CCP spies on our data. I can see why the US government might worry that they can’t access the data (except TikTok runs its servers on Oracle databases in the US just to satisfy them). But I don’t understand why the citizens of the US would support tightening the monopoly to just Facebook and Google.

tias ,

Yeah well, it’s not like it’s beneath the US government to do the same thing. Remember Cambridge analytica, or the Snowden leaks? My point being, as far as I’m concerned as a citizen, banning TikTok just transfers power to a more concentrated group of actors. That makes the problem worse.

tias ,

The US would break them (and has always broken them) even if China wasn’t around.

The CLOUD Act

This started long before the 2016 election and is deeply ingrained into the way the United States government operates. I’m definitely not saying the Chinese are innocent, but a lot of the US government’s fears are rooted in projection. “We do it, so we must assume they do it too”.

tias ,

Yes but Facebook / Instagram / Twitter also do this and it has caused huge societal problems in the US, arguably much worse than TikTok.

Is There a Way to Officially Disable a Lemmy Account?

I would like to know if there is an “official” way to set an account as disabled. For now, I am plan on posting this on Asklemmy, changing my password to some random string that I won’t remember, and then logging out. If I’d like to come back later, there’s a chance of my account being revived through the “forgot...

The Gartner Hype Cycle

tias ,

I got my (recently turned 12) son hooked on Civ5. He put 70 hours behind him in just a week during the Easter holidays.

So now we’re playing multiplayer. I have my gripes with that game, but damn it never gets old.

tias ,

I will never stop playing that game. I would suggest playing with “Peaceful” difficulty level at first (and maybe choosing Phoebe Chillax as narrator) so you’ll have time to advance. There’s so much to discover and do anyway without everything trying to burn your house down.

There’s also a terrifying short story by Stephen King on the subject.

He polled game developers about how Starfield can be fixed, and they answered that it can’t be fixed.

tias ,

They probably mean a bought / fake account that FB doesn’t know is fake, so they can use it for spamming.

tias ,

I mean canonical also tries to monetize its users. The problem is more shareholders who want profit than the software being proprietary.

tias ,

And I don’t see why Arch is relevant to the discussion. My point is that software being non-proprietary is not a guarantee for preventing fuckery like Microsoft’s. Profit-maximizing companies will maximize their profits, proprietary software or not. Canonical, which sells a non-proprietary Linux distribution, is an example of this.

tias ,

People don’t even use it for funny things though. I only see it as a way to shame people, as if they’re laughing at you. Except it’s almost always just stupid deflection when they don’t have any objective arguments to offer. It’s what I imagine debates would be like in “Idiocracy”, and it makes me lose hope for humanity.
