  • The thing you need to weigh is the inconvenience of them putting in the effort to become tech savvy. That’s a big inconvenience. So, the inconvenience of dealing with ads and whatnot looks much smaller from their perspective.

    Yeah, I can follow the train of thought. They don't know that like an hour of reading now will save them decades of pain, I guess.

    Like, there's degrees. Learning how to compile Firefox from source with custom changes is way more work than "search: how do I get rid of ads? Search: best adblocker. Click install on ublock."

    Which brings me back to what I was trying to say earlier. People imagine dealing with these problems is way harder than it actually is, so they don't even look.

    Something like this is coming up at work. They're like "oh it's going to be like weeks of work to get a linter for our code" and I'm like "it's fifteen minutes please just let me help you".

  • I dunno, a lot of the people in my life that aren't tech savvy are inconvenienced. The ads pop up and block stuff. But they don't know how to do anything about it.

    I guess it's easier to just do nothing and suffer than learn what adblock is. It's easier to use the shitty defaults.

  • I Hate Github Actions with Passion

    Jump

  • There's not to my knowledge a good way to run/test GitHub actions locally. So if I want to verify my change uploads the coverage report after the end of the pipeline, I have to run the whole thing. And then I find an error because on the GitHub runner blah blah is different

  • You choose who you platform

    Jump

  • People have weird ideas about free speech. As if a private org must provide a platform for anyone and anything. But then also they're not that upset when tits or dongs are removed. So the platform both is and is not allowed to moderate itself.

  • Well that's fascinating. I'm not sure what to do with this information. Maybe read the study more carefully when I have more time

  • Many people have a sort of learned helplessness. They don't really know computer fundamentals, they get scared and stressed so they stop thinking, and then they don't want to deal with it.

    People aren't rational. They're emotional.

  • DOJ won’t investigate killing of Minneapolis woman shot by ICE

    Jump

  • It's not enough to just remove them from power. They shouldn't go on to live a life of luxury giving talks on Fox News or whatever.

  • 3 Prosecutors Quit After Push to Investigate ICE Shooting Victim’s Widow

  • And if they stay, they get hung because “following orders is not an excuse”

    I think ideally they'd stay and subtly fuck up the administration's plans. Like how prosecutors routinely fail to indict cops. But that's asking a lot

  • Thank you. I really hate this trend of a video when a few paragraphs would do it.

  • Typically the only way to change someone's mind is in-group pressure. I'm not this guy's in group. Nothing I say to him is going to make a difference. I'm not in a position to spend weeks or months working my way into his friend group so I can convince him to be a better, smarter, person.

  • we need more users

  • I tell people about lemmy and send them links. Mostly people don't care about anything. Abstract or remote things like "should a platform be owned by one asshole?" just doesn't even enter their brain.

  • Where are the comics about people being happy to be social? I guess it's like they say and happiness writes white

  • Why did you decide to join Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Api thing was the final straw. But also privately owned for private mega media is bad, so fuck them.

  • Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app

    Jump

  • I've thought about switching. I do like the password saving and syncing between Android and desktop that Firefox does, and I'm not sure if the forks do that.

  • No regrets on switching to Linux here. Almost all of the time I just use the GUI to launch steam or Firefox. No AI nagging me (aside from whatever nonsense Firefox is up to)

  • A free market isn't really the same as "the owners keep the profits".

  • I think it's kind of fundamentally unjust that the owner keeps all the profits from what labor produces. That's capitalism. Unions and government are bandaids on top of that.

  • To many “smart” people have stood up and taken the credit for hundreds of others and generations of work.

    Like CEOs taking credit for all the work their engineers did.

  • ICE just launched a “wartime recruitment” campaign and seeks agents who want to “defend” their “culture.” There will be more Renee Goods.

  • If you call it out before it happens, they call you alarmist. If you point it out afterwards, they’ve already normalized it

    They're not engaging with facts. That's a whole other plane that doesn't intersect. It's just feelings and in-group.

    When you point it out early, you're disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected. When you point it out after... You're still disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected.

    That's all there is to it.
