Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor

  • Who is this list intended to target? I'm asking because a large number of those points will fly WAY over the heads of most people, while others seem to ignore existing social circles

    The only points I see that could be shown to the general populace, and that they'd show some interest in, are:

    research how popular free services make money

    I'd put this at the top of the list, followed by "how your data is used against you" - how scammers, spammers and other bad actors can use and abuse your data, including by committing crimes.

    install an ad blocker in your browser

    This would be number 2. With google going crybaby over uBlock Origin, it easily leads to "use a privacy-friendly browser"

  • In Brazil, there's a rhymed saying: "ladrão que rouba ladrão tem 100 anos de perdão", it translates to "a thief that steals from a thief has 100 years of forgiveness"

  • It'll hit the bomb, so teams a and b will be blasted either way :)

  • I've played enough X-COM to know that 50/50 is actually 100%, I just don't know which way. Better trigger it!!

  • They don't need to read the keystrokes, they need to read what's in the input box. In programming terms, you're evaluating the field in real time, you're not waiting for the "send request", nor are you keylogging, otherwise the existence of the field would be irrelevant.

  • If I could start a small commune or tribe of sorts, with ~10 people and plenty of arable land, I'd go for it.

  • Can we at least get cool mechs? Or will reality continue being this shitty dystopia with nearly all of the bad and none of the cool?

  • logging your keystrokes is quintessential for every online service you interact with

    No, it is not. Services expect the "complete" payload, whether a prompt, a text message, or whatever, it doesn't matter if you typed it, if you copy-pasted it or something else. None of them need to analyze stuff you've typed, deleted and never sent.

  • I guess mbin is halfway there in being a bridge? It lets you check both mastodon and lemmy posts

  • As a Brazilian, yes. I doubt anything halfway decent would show up instead, which probably sounds better

  • Ever seen that caricature of a Jew? The one with a huge nose and a grin, curly hair? That's how the idiots picture all Jews. It doesn't matter that it's a racist/xenophobic stereotype, it has a "clear, recognizable face" of the enemy. It creates an image of "the enemy" in their mind

  • I recall watching a singer saying something like the following during an interview "If art and culture are so worthless, return all the time you spent watching movies and series, return all the time you spent listening to music, all the poems and lyrics you sang with friends or to loved ones. I won't ask you to return the stories you read because it's clear you don't read."

  • Another important part of alt right bullshit is that they blame people that viewers can easily identify on the streets. Crime? It's the immigrants and blacks! Shit economy? Jews and the deep state!

    So, I guess the only way to fight climate change is by accusing every petrol CEO of being a deep state Jew gay communist

  • Anticheat became a necessity because too many games decided to remove the ability for players to host their own servers. This sucks a lot when people get some games that have SP/MP but never really bother with the MP part

    There's also the problem that most anticheat software will only stop the laziest cheaters, usually the ones that aren't willing to pay for the cheating software. There are a bunch of cheat-focused forums and creating the software can be profitable.

  • ethical

    bluesky

    lol sure

    Also you can check nostr if you want something that has both twitter stuff + tiktok like videos, no account required either.

  • Lap mutt

  • That's a huge violin. Or a very tiny micro gnome

  • Ah, the Amiga, the best computer you could get in '86, but didn't know about because their marketing was shit

  • I love just how completely delusional this dude is. "building anything serious" with crypto, "making a mockery of this industry" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Another dude throws "they don't have your interests in mind" - bitch, name one crypto asshole who does.

  • I can watch two of those per workday, on my bus commute to/from work. Usually end up watching history documentaries instead (currently going through a 6 hours one detailing the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, gonna be an interesting week)
