  • Pebble Time 2 has screws

  • Doesn't a little solvent and some gentle brushing usually clear this issue up?

    The benefits for simple access through simple mechanisms, for me, is worth this bit of work.

    But everyone clearly has different requirements. 🤷‍♂️

  • Kate Beckinsale claims her daughter's boyfriend has laid 2 eggs: 'It’s a little bit gross'

    Jump

  • This. I do not understand the aversion to aging. We are all human.

  • Is anyone else's friends getting really distant?

    Jump

  • You're getting a lot of shit in the comments from people that I think is undeserved, at least based on what you have said so far.

    I feel this feeling, too. I have always been one to reach out and organize and I have become tired of feeling like the only person that does that. Provided you aren't actively doing anything wrong, I really feel like these other commenters are missing something.

    When people like me, who want to organize, start feeling like no one wants it: what happens?

  • If you killed someone I’d have to cover up for you even though I don’t condone murder

    what?

    This is what gets me about the conservative mindset every time. There appears to be no actual moral framework behind it. It is only about them and their wants and desires.

    Personally, if someone said this to me I would understand them to be amoral. And an amoral person has no ground to stand on to judge anyone else.

    Edit for a clarity reminder: the victim in the hypothetical proposed by the father is someone else's child, another human being who had every right to exist. But to this conservative dad, they're apparently nothing to be concerned about. And that is the problem.

  • Valve hopes the Steam Machine will make devs pay more attention to Linux anti-cheat support

    Jump

  • You can keep your kernel-level shit off my CPU.

    Spend money on servers. Verify your players. I don't care how you do it, but you don't get kernel-level access to my machine because some asshole script kiddies are aimbotting. You can never trust the client. This is basic shit that game devs will make up a whole host of bullshit to try to justify. (FWIW: I spent a solid decade as a professional game dev and I was as disappointed in this horseshit then as I am now. At least players are starting to figure it out now, too.)

  • security parity is a password manager + 2fa generated on-device

    This experience works perfectly for me. I have no need of whatever junk the latest consortium of megacorps has come up with.

  • Pro-Israel Billionaire Who Led Mamdani Scaremongering Now Offers to Help NYC's Next Mayor | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • Yep.

    Jump

  • This is why the people we see who are billionaires are depraved.

    Before any normal person became that wealthy, they would find ways to spread that wealth.

    Jump

  • To become a billionaire you have to be depraved. What behavior were people expecting from someone like that?

  • How crucial do you think it is to understanding "pop culture" stuff, in terms of forming friendships? (As in: Knowledge in Popular Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, Books, Songs, Music, Anime, etc...)

    Jump

  • Your acquaintance sounds like a cool person.

    "What kinds of stuff are you into?" is probably the question you wanted to ask instead of asking about pirating random content.

  • What is lemmy doing about bot scrapers?

    Jump

  • When it is so easy to replace characters in strings for a computer, why would this help?

    s/þ/th/g

    I am open to being educated, but this seems like old wives tale stuff about how to keep the AI demons away.

  • You are ignoring people who have walked this path and are giving you the advice right now.

    Public file hosting is not where you start.

  • Are there enough resources in the world to allow everyone (or at least the vast majority) to live comfortably and happily?

    Jump

  • All of human history exists because we solved scarcity.

    The past 12,000 years has been trying to convince the hoarding assholes to stop making life shitty for everyone else.

    You shouldn't just be mad, you should feel the injustice of it all in your ancestral bones.

  • Which stages of life do you think is the best part?

    Jump

  • I’m in my late 30s now, and my body feels better than in my early 20s, as I had stopped working out during that time. Also ended up getting diagnosed for adhd in my mid 40s and just this year had vyvanse prescribed which has proved a huge help.

    How old are you? What is this? I worry I am engaging with an AI here or something.

  • The Death of Windows – And What Comes Next

    Jump

  • Correct, I did not watch the video because the first premise the video offered is untrue. I don't mean to poo-poo you sharing Linux stuff, and if this video gets more people onto Linux, great.

    But like I said, it is not for those of us who have been here for a very long time screaming about how important it is to control your OS if you want to own your computer.

  • The Death of Windows – And What Comes Next

    Jump

  • Windows NEVER meant freedom.

    Noped out right away.

    Not the video for those of us who have been around for long enough to remember all the shit MS pulled trying to kill Linux off.

  • Ruby Central tries to make peace after 'hostile takeover'

    Jump

  • Sure, just know that this feedback is coming from people who have probably walked the same path and are trying to save you some pain. Best of luck, but I have found people like that are not engaging in good faith.
