Remember when you didn't even need to log into anything? I genuinely want the internet to go back to that

Same for Isaac Hayes (Chef), though less murdered and more natural causes.

Is the last word supposed to be in jest? Like a "no regerts" tattoo?

Can't even customize a lot of things anymore. You like pure black as in #000000. Google says fuck you. You want to know what time it is to the second. Google says fuck you. Want to control your notification LED. Google says fuck you. Want to prevent apps from being purged from the memory. Google says fuck you. I genuinely hope something else comes along soon. And no I don't want Apple, they're even worse than Google.

You forgot the red circles around the ears.

As much as I hate ai/llm's, here we're conflating new technologies with bad practices. This is a fallacy.

However much we hate llm's they definitely aren't going away anytime soon. You can't make laws or policies to make ideas/technologies go away.

CO2 emissions are still going up every year. I haven't seen any significant effort to stop global warming. When I look around me, I'm not surprised.

People just don't care enough.

They're not immediately affected.

The whole thing about global warming that almost never gets said;

Whole parts of the world that are inhabited now will become uninhabitable.

Or in other words: we're heading towards a giant economic crisis never seen before.

We'll see starvation and overpopulation and disease and of course=> more war!

I love how the office homepage is now a portal to whatever their LLM is called. Who needs all their recent files and direct links to the software they use in a single view. What kind of idiot would want that. What a great company.

To be fair, from all nationalities, Americans would make a good source of raw material for soap making. (It's a fat joke for the people that don't know the chemistry)

Ok this doing my head in a bit.

Meal is short for mealtide, not used in English anymore but is in other Germanic languages. And etymologists seem to be uncertain if the meal part relates to time or milling. But that seems weird to me because then mealtide would literally mean something like times-time.

Edit: the two definitions of meal seem to stem from the same word. Hitting/striking wheat is done in times.

I'll use Dutch to clarify since English doesn't have the time definition anymore.

Ik sla het tarwe niet één maal, niet twee maal maar vijftien maal. I hit the wheat not once, not twice but fifteen times.

Na het enkele malen te slaan konden we het malen in de molen. After hitting it a few times we could mill it in the mill.

En toen hadden we meel. And then we had meal.

I hope that somewhat makes it clear.

That's very clearly a hen and not a cock. Could've used a better picture of Uranus too. Idea 10/10 execution 7/10

This is so stupid that even I understand it.

Lemmy is pretty much the same thing as reddit for regular people. I think the thing you're stumbling over is that Lemmy only has around 50k active daily users. Reddit has about a 100 million. That's a 2000 fold difference. Every post on Lemmy gets 2000 times less attention in other words.

It's kind of in the name...

Can someone tell me why legislation hasn't stepped in yet? I honestly don't understand this. The EU made Microsoft show a pop up on Windows so users could choose their own browser. And this was idk how many years ago. Yet it seems to be perfectly ok for OEM's to make phones where it's impossible to install another OS on...

Another reason to hate google. This feature got taken away for legal reasons in many regions. The Google dialer app is absolute trash now after the last big update.

Dude I'm not even into consoles/gaming but this dystopian blade runner capitalism shit hits home every day now. Even frozen meals are becoming so tasteless/expensive I'm starting to wonder how decapitating someone will make it taste better.

I'm sorry to be the asshole here but ... She hasn't been on the charts for nearly 10 years... She probably amassed more wealth than most of us will in a lifetime. If she's unable to work a regular job now to keep up the lifestyle and has to sell feet pics... Sorry but boohoo
