  • Worldwide Smartphone Market to Decline 13% in 2026, Marking the Largest Drop Ever Due to the Memory Shortage Crisis, according to IDC

    Jump

  • For me the only thing I look in new phones now is camera quality, since I only take photos and video with my phone. If that was upgradeable, it would be awesome. Plus, now even Android is getting the Apple treatment this year, everything is just getting shittier.

  • US women's hockey team declines Trump's State of the Union invite

    Jump

  • When you see how men's hockey team reacted to Trump's joke about inviting women's team, it makes it all the more repulsive. Not shocking, but still disgusting.

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

    Jump

  • I deployed several docker containers using an image from this one guy. Later when I needed help with an image I realized the support is provided exclusively through a Discord server. To nobody's surprise the guy is an asshole who shouldn't interact with users.

  • I opened the windows in -5°C and this is the cat’s reaction

  • I don't know where you're from, but the title sounds like such a German thing to do 😂

  • They’re saving precious times

    Jump

  • So, a relative of my partner's is an influencer. I thought they had a glamorous life, because they travel all around the world. Turns out they don't even technically get paid to promote products. Their trip expenses are covered, but that's about it. Which I find bizarre, but I guess as long as they're young and pretty it works.

  • Mexico president Claudia Sheinbaum asks South Korea for more BTS concerts

    Jump

  • I had white-grey hair, I just like the aesthetic. It's definitely not the same look as naturally grey hair. I would have still had it if it didn't mean absolutely destroying my hair with bleach.

  • Neocities deindexed from Bing

    Jump

  • Mojeek was a huge miss for me. Search results were mostly irrelevant to my search queries. I've yet to find any search engine that isn't trash, though.

  • The Windows Interface You Didn’t Like, For Linux

    Jump

  • The main thing I encountered has been gatekeeping the OS itself. I.e. you have to be a Linux nerd/expert to be allowed to use Linux. I personally haven't seen that type of gatekeeping for other OSes. It's literally just an OS. There are dozens of distros one can choose from. There's something for everyone. I'm sure it's just a vocal minority, but they do exist.

  • The Windows Interface You Didn’t Like, For Linux

    Jump

  • Duality of Linux community. On the one hand people can be extremely helpful and nice; I'm way more likely to find a solution to a problem, niche or otherwise, for a Linux system than Windows. On the other hand the community can be unbearably toxic and gatekeep like no other.

  • Yeah, that's usually what we did (I worked in support). But even then, we had several other verification steps, so random people couldn't easily abuse the system. Which used to include account number, among other things.

  • You owe me!

    Jump

  • I occasionally have wet dreams, but I don't have a penis, so it isn't a problem. What is a problem is my unconscious mind picking partners for me. Those choises are either highly questionable or absolutely gross.

  • (Fruit) mince pies

    Jump

  • As a Slav, my first association with the word pie is either fruit or cheese. Now I'm wondering which countries would first think of meat.

  • My father would beg to differ. Some of the things I've heard: "who's going to take care of you when you're old", "the undesirable immigrants with 5+ children will take over and ruin Europe". He also told me I was being selfish when I was barely 18 for stating I didn't want to have children because carrying a child for 9 months and childbirth terrify me. That shit still terrifies me to this day, on top of all the other reasons why I still don't want to have children.

    Also, according to him the feelings a parent has for their child are "unexplainable". That must be why my mom and and his mom were more a part of my childhood than he was!

  • Indeed

  • I can tell you there are some who believe he is the Antichrist. At least that's what I heard an acquaintance of mine say, and their church/ community believes the same. However, this isn't in the US, which is kind of even more WTF to me, lol.

  • And that's definitely a big hurdle many people don't want to get over to join a rather niche platform. Most people just want things to work and not think about it any further. The older I am, the more I understand the sentiment.

    We shouldn't need to spend hours of our free time just to find out where it is "safe" to post memes and share silly stuff. Sure, if we had to do that only for lemmy (or fediverse in general), it wouldn't be a big deal. But there are so many things in life we use, it's impossible to devote enough time to research every single one of them. Especially when there are more important things in life to spend time on. It's exhausting.

    I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I feel this is one of the reasons lemmy/fediverse will remain niche. Maybe this changes in the future.

  • #NotAllGenAI

    Jump

  • We're supposed to introduce confused normies to the fediverse by telling them to just pick any instance, because it's all the same. And then shit like this happens, lol.

    how did you choose your career?

  • Hah, I'm pretty sure this was the deciding factor I got my IT job.
