  • I've also experienced the opposite. Watching shows/movies from the 70s and 80s and thinking, "this is woke af"

  • Still not asked to leave, but I noticed glances from staff and such so I left earlier than I would have, but on my own accord because I want to be helpful.

    i didnt mean literally asked to leave, but i've had the check brought to the table without me asking, which is a pretty clear sign they want you out

    Also being told at the start of the meal that there is a 90min limit until the next seating, or at the time of reservation that there is a time limit

  • No, this seems to be a mostly north american problem.... i've never been rushed to GTFO in europe or asia, no matter high or low end

  • Italy as well, and i assume many other places in the world outside of north america

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • Can confirm ctrl-shift-c opens dev console

    I keep mixing up the shortcuts because ctrl-shift-c is copy in the KDE terminal

  • The reason i adblock the shit out of everything is not because i think i'm smarter than everyone, it's because i KNOW i'm susceptible to these things.

    What you're describing is not immunity, but an avoidance strategy. Almost nobody is truly immune to ads, thats why we avoid exposure

    Nobody is immune to HIV, so we avoid exposure

  • Being influenced by ads is not some moral failing.

    I really doubt people who think they have some special willpower to resist advertising. Advertising isnt simply "go buy this particular thing". Brand recognition alone is very powerful.

    The person you replied to thinks their shopping list is somehow immune to advertising, i highly doubt it. The lack of self awareness makes me think they are MORE susceptible to ads than the average person.

  • The bitter sarcasm of a veteran who saw this coming by virtue of having caused it?

    a bit of this. Although in my defense, I wasnt working in advertising at the time (my company didnt even have an advertising division)

    also, i dont work for one of the big tech companies that have their claws in your digital life. But i can see how it contributes at some level, however minor.

  • Getting out of the grasp of big tech.

    Been self hosting for over 10 years before anyone coined the term enshittification. When i started, i could never imagine things getting THIS BAD with tech companies. I am happier and happier with my decision to self host things every day

    I work in advertising

  • Either this or a fairphone would be an instant buy from me if they were smaller. Modern phones dont fit into my pockets comfortably anymore

  • Just go to one of the biggest news communities on lemmy....

    If you cant tell the difference between bbc, reuters, the guardian.... and publicwitness.wordandway.com (a very highly upvoted link over the last day) then there's no point in me scouring the whole fediverse trying to prove my point.

    And you can all downvote me to hell just to stay in your echo chamber... but you're no better than the right ring idiots we mock in this comic

  • Some articles of dubious veracity yet, articles from sources at least making an effort to appear reputable.

    well thats what i'm talking about. Not literal blogs, but opinion websites masquerading as news sites. I dont see how that's any better than the right wing manosphere trash the comic is criticizing

  • Left wing people on lemmy do the same thing.... so many links posted on news and world news communities is just left wing blogs...

  • Every time i see big cats in zoos (😢), or on TV or whatever, i think "so cute!"....

    If i ever saw one in real life, i would say "awwww, kitty!!! 😍" just before being mauled to death....

  • Some of the things in my house were set up so long ago, and running so smoothly, i havent looked at them in years (other than auto updates) now i'm afraid i've accidentally left some security hole without realizing it

    For example, i set up cerbot 10 years ago and back then there was no DNS challenge, so i had to open my webserver to port 80 to renew.... well since everything was running from https/443, i decided to block port 80

    so i edited the systemctl unit for certbot to temporarily open port 80 for the renewal, and close it right after...

    It was only 5 years later i realized i made a mistake and port 80 had been open for 5 years to the open internet

    Probably no harm since its a public server anyway... defense in depth is the key

  • Finland already has very good datacenter companies, as one would expect...

    I moved my VPS to a finnish company almost 10 years ago before data sovereignty was cool

  • Even when it gets unfucked, i will think twice

    I've had aspirations to run the boston marathon for a long time

    Yet i already decided that if i'm going to put in this kind of work to get into a world major race, i'd rather do london, berlin, tokyo, or sydney after this betrayal

    Sorry

  • I only learned about it 3 weeks ago... trying to keep it alive

    I'M DOING MY PART

  • imagine would would happen if this money went to the workers instead...

    where do you think the money went? I imagine a lot of it went to workers salaries....
