Damn right 🫖

The US is a lower trust society than most of Europe

But but but, this way I get to feel like I’m doing something without actually doing a damn thing, and continuing to support Microsoft

Fucking hate how these shitheads take words from Tolkien’s works and bastardise them. Palantir, Anduril.

What’s next, a social credit system named “Silmaril”? An organisation that harvests the organs of homeless called “Rivendell”?

Just fucking stop.

Oh fuck off. It’s up to the couple, not you.

This is so nihilistic, dramatic, and ridiculous.

The lives of ordinary people have been far far far far worse for 99.999% of human history.

Don’t be such a doomer.

“feels like I’m being fucked by a rubber duck” are words from my now wife that I won’t ever forget.

It’s just an Android phone, so yeah, it’ll have Signal.

SK Hynix (and Samsung) is worse than Micron.

Micron scrapped Crucial, the consumer brand they owned.

SK Hynix and Samsung never even directly sold to consumers to begin with.

SK Hynix and Samsung were the ones who signed deals with OpenAI on the same day for 40% of the entire fucking planet’s DRAM supply that kicked off the DRAM panic buying to begin with! This mess is their fault!

Micron are absolutely shifting to more profitable HBM production in order to make the most of the AI bubble, and they’re fucking us over in doing so, but IMO what they’re doing pales in comparison to the levels of fuckery that SK/Samsung have done with the shady backroom OpenAI deals. I repeat… 40% of Earth’s RAM production.

It really angers me that those two have so far escaped media wrath while Micron was exclusively taking the hit for an entire shady industry. Blame all of these fuckers. Blame OpenAI. Blame Nvidia.

No, they aren’t Marxist-leninist.

There’s no overthrowing of capitalism. China is capitalist as fuck.

Socialism is not “when the government does things”.

Lemmy copying Reddit with the downvotes system is something that really frustrates me.

The downvote button is one of the most toxic things about Reddit. Nobody uses it the way it is supposedly intended to be used.

Lemmy saw that and thought great, let’s copy.

I don’t know whether they did it because they wanted to make a straight up Reddit clone, or whether they mistakenly thought Lemmy users would be above that kind of behaviour (lol), but either way it was a mistake IMO. It just encourages division.

China is not Marxist-leninist lmao. They have a market economy.

State capitalism is not the same as Marxism.

This.

I’m really tired of people letting perfect behaviour the enemy of good in every single online discussion.

I’m very well aware that parental controls aren’t a 100% foolproof protection for my daughters, but that certainly doesn’t make them useless.

Based on that mentality we may as well not ban murder, because some people break the law anyway. We may as well not have vaccines, because no vaccine is 100% effective for all people. It’s so brain-dead.

Which is now owned by Hyundai.

That pronunciation took off because Top Gear was going to record a segment about Dacia before they hit the UK market.

Top Gear did reach out to Dacia and ask how it was pronounced, but Dacia took so long replying to the email that by the time they did, Top Gear had already filmed it saying Day-see-er. It was too late.

And because of the enormous reach of Top Gear at the time, that pronunciation became solidified in people’s minds.

Or at least this was the story told by Richard Porter, the ex Top Gear producer, on his podcast.

Hey now, you’ve got to use something to download Firefox a Linux ISO on a brand new windows install.

Lenovo is about as good as you getting for a mainstream brand, and they are ultimately owned by the CCP so meh.

In addition to being owned by the CCP, they purposely installed rootkits on consumer hardware for intense data gathering, and it ended up getting compromised.

I don’t know how you could possibly look at Gnome and think they’re trying to be the same as every other OS.

They’re seemingly the only one with the balls to move away from the WinUX way of doing things.

One dev without any go-ahead from Gnome did.

And let’s not forget System76 employees, as well as System76 themselves, have done the exact same thing.

I’ve been using Wayland for years (2019), and I’ve not had any problems aside from Discord screen sharing, which was fixed a while back.

That’s on AMD hardware, mind.

Whenever I’ve used X11 since, it’s felt janky and not smooth. Random bugs, tearing, issues with multi monitor, issues with trackpads, etc.
