Every day of my life trying to explain to friends they need to quit using spoon fed software. Sigh.

How can you convince anyone to get off these ? Everyone I've showed lemmy to is terrified it's a virus, and what chat platforms are there besides messenger that we can convince anyone to go to? Maybe I need smarter friends, lol.

I'm pretty sure this is how all humans think..things relate to one another.

Actually heard this yesterday. The brainrot going around is that big companies like Nike will be forced to move mfg back to the US so America can make things again. We'll, it's not going to work like that.... the corporations spent years gutting their American factories and sending them overseas because they don't want to pay a living wage. But the non informed folk apparently want their children to work in factories for 2 cents an hour and be forced to give birth to more factory workers who will by that time be little more than serfs.

I hate whoever changed this nomenclature. It's PM and I will die on this hill.

Stop buying new cars until they remove this bullshit. We can go 40 years with existing cars without buying a single new one.

Definitely how it feels sometimes talking to the gamers who literally care about graphics over everything. I care about gameplay..

It's depressing seeing this in my city. Full groves of trees and fields ripped up and destroyed for another McDonald's and more and more apartments. It never ends does it ?

Trying to explain this to people I know is nearly impossible. They always think "but when I'm rich I want all the money and no regulation!" Well guess what you work at Walmart and will never be rich so I guess let yourself get endlessly exploited then. There is no ethical billionaire. Maybe not even millionaire tbh.

This is why I go the extra mile to keep iot out of my life. Especially in cars , which is getting hard, but I figure my future cars I'll likely retrofit something old. Newest I'll tolerate is 2014, with no touchscreen.

The fact that people have any thought that this guy is smart or a good person makes me hate humanity.

This is why I tell people stop using LLMs. The owner class owns them (imagine that) and will tell it to tell you what they want so they make more money. Simple as that.

Do you guys also keep a notepad file on your desktop with all the usual commands and shortcuts on it? I can't imagine remembering them all otherwise... and I kind of cringe at the non stop DDG ing I have to do to do some basic liux stuff.

Question on things like this. Do we only prefer these because of true nostalgia, or because everything truly is worse now? I am unsure how one can have nostalgia for a time before they were even alive, but that seems to be a strong sentiment among many young people I've talked to. I know my most enjoyable days are turning off my phone and watching vhs tapes and playing ps1/atari. I truly think those times were far better than now.

Dude it's sad what kids are subject too now. Endless ad spam and shit games. They'll always be corpo brainwashed.

No idea how the hell you teach nowadays. Must be an absolute nightmare.

Still using my tapes today. Work great and they do what I want, no ads, no subscriptions, I own it. Younguns missed out on the best time. They wont own a thing and will be consumed with ads and depression

This was always the goal. Serfdom in a different package.

Bye Google! You were cool once. But fuck off.
