My wife was telling me about how annoying it is that she'll try listening to new true crime podcasts and they'll shit like "unalived" instead of "killed". Comes across hella disrespectful to the victims.

Yeah... too bad you can't teach other people's sons not to be rapists - they're the ones you've gotta worry about

I've literally never met anybody that used Wordpad, whereas I know a lot of tech normies that'll use MS Paint for quick memes and things

He can't respond because he's too busy painting over all the light fixtures and power outlets

If you require a hammer to do work, you just buy a hammer that you can use for the rest of time or until you buy a better hammer.

You don't pay $10 dollars a month for the rest of time for the same hammer you could have just paid for previously. Especially since HammerCo might up the price, go out of business, or flat out stop offering the hammer subscription you rely on, and you lose access to your vital resource.

What a dumb argument.

There are two sexualities: straight and british

Whats the one feature you like that windows 10 doesn't have?

I only see this community when I'm browsing all and it feels like a good chunk of these posts aren't actually about Linux - they're about how Windows is bad

How dare you be okay spending $20 that will provide you thousands of hours of enjoyment over the course of the next decade?!

So you'd say you're not ... ( •_•)>⌐■-■

... edgy (⌐■_■)

I think it may be a bug, but I have not seen a single ad so far. There's not even a spot for ads to appear. I had Sync Pro on Reddit so it has been the exact same experience I had on that

I've had to go ham on blocking entire communities on here with Sync's filter feature. Reddit at least has so many niche, active communities that you can actively avoid the /r/Europes and the /r/conservatives. With Lemmy, if I scroll through my subscribed communities, I get the same posts for days on end - if I scroll through everything, I get a bunch of Linux and FOSS circle jerks as well as "Tankies", "Anti-Tankies", commies, fuckcar communities that aren't even realistic with the timescale they want things changes, and even more recently some posts from conservative communities.

Like, don't get me wrong - I refuse to go back to reddit, but I've definitely had the desire to just quit using Lemmy because it feels like there isn't much here for me.

Recently needed to buy a KVM switch to swap between my work computer and my personal computer on the same monitor. Not a single brick and mortar store in my entire area stocked them.

Connect is great.

Sync is great.

Just let people browse in peace. This has been the worst week Lemmy has had because it's all bitching and counter bitching about the bitching.

Sorry I can't hear you over all those observables

Feels like OP is referring to the more direct hate that Sync is getting on other posts that this post, while not hating directly, definitely taps into.

I've never seen an Italian family do pasta so wrong. I thought y'all liked pasta there?

Are you talking about depressing comic week?

You can usually get it for a dollar with the app and it's better than a lot of the stuff that can be made at home with an automatic coffee maker. I used to get it a lot until I could afford to support smaller coffee places

If they do background checks and you list it on your resume / hiring paperwork, they all do.

I used to work as a team lead on a call center help desk that had literally no requirements to get the job outside of a 10 question "technical interview" that features questions such as "can you name three programs that are a part of the Microsoft office suite" and periodically we would have new hires get fired once their background check returned that they lied about having a degree that they don't actually have.

I don't know why they lied - degrees aren't even requested or required for getting the job, but they did and lying on anything that came up on the background check was an immediate termination
