People who haven't gotten into habit of googling stuff in the last 20 years might not get into it at all anymore because of how search engines are gamed with SEO spam tactics nowadays

2 months ago that was fine.

Now I don't have an app for that, the website on my mobile doesn't open my search and instead tells me to download the official Reddit app, or the subs are nsfw or private.

Sigh, so much for easy answers at a type of the finger :(

What a concept!

Reply in thread

I understand finding these things funny when you are a cool, level-headed person or not in a moment of fight or flee situation, but many of us fall prey to dumb reasoning in emotional situations.

Going slightly off-topic, but I'd wager many people have spent a lot of unnecessary money or gone to jail in the heat of the moment. And many of Sun Tzu's or Lao Tzi's (Tao) advice is like: "stop, breathe, and think it through mofo, stop being an impulsive idiot and paying a high price for it"

The decentralized web is growing

Reply in thread

I agree. I think it's just good that with all this shitstorm, a lot of the good users migrated to the Lemmy.

We don't need 100% of the Reddit population here, if we just get like 10-20% we will have potential to become the long gone golden age of Reddit.

You're home alone, sitting down and relaxing with your favorite consumable item, be it drink, drugs, food, what have you. What are you having, and what do you put on the stereo to accompany your eveni

KEXP radio, lemongrass kombucha and BBQ'ed coalho cheese (kind of like cheese curds... but different, it's a Brazilian thing).

The radio I found out about it today, despite playing a plethora of different styles, I'm quite impressed how the curation is of excellent quality.

Leak confirms GrapheneOS & Motorola partnership for non-Pixel hardware

Reply in thread

It runs fine on my Pixel 7a, I have an account with 2 Brazilian banks and they all work well.

Some apps just don't work though, but they are far and between, an example is Brazil's gov.br, which is a website that is used for ID confirmation on everything that pertains to the government (tax revenue, your own business details,etc.). But then an old phone does that job for me at home.

Speaking of Brazil, it is worth mentioning that Google Pixels are not officially sold here. The ones I did obtain I bought on a "Brazilian eBay" and there is no e-SIM support for it nor any warranty services. I had to do the battery replacement myself despite knowing that Google was offering to fix faulty Pixel 7a's on NA/India/Europe/etc. I am only bringing this up because, coincidentally, 50% of Motorola's smartphone sales are on LATAM. It's a pretty smart move they are making if you ask me, they are aware they could explore this huge market it seems.

US demands access to tourists' social media histories

Reply in thread

I still remember a trip I took with my parents to Vancouver and Seattle. We are from Brazil.

The difference was night and day, especially the infrastructure, landscape, and the appearance of the people who worked there. Seattle felt much more somber and gray.

The only ones who seemed overtly happy were the waitresses, but since these jobs in the U.S. rely heavily on tips, it felt more like forced role-play to get extra money compared to the more down-to-earth Canadian customer service.

Taking for granted

Makes sense. People think they are the center of the universe when companies only see you as an additional cog in the machine. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad by this. I'll choose the positive side of things today.

During their visit to the United States, President Trump showed President Zelensky and President Macron his collection of MAGA hats

Reply in thread

MOFO is recording a reality show 24/7. Everything he does seems one of those cringy episodes from E! or MTV shows from the 2000-2010s.

If I'm not mistaken, the first time he met with Zelensky he was caught saying "this will make good television" or something like that. Now, what is the exact goal with this? I don't know... Seems conservative low IQ people like to consume their politics as entertainment programs and that keeps them hooked?

tá foda a experiência no reddit

Agora no Lemmy uso o conect e tá ok, mas não é a mesma coisa, fora que 90% da galera não fez a migração

Eu entendo que tenha menos posts e isso possa desanimar, mas para mim eu percebo que são coisas de maior qualidade, a conversa flui mais devagar e às vezes posts se alongam mais sobre um tema e outro. Eu acho que, no geral, o resultado é positivo. Tem vezes que eu entro aqui para postar e já vejo um usuário falando exatamente o que eu penso, então eu só upvoto, hahaha.

O que eu posso sugerir para expandir tua experiência no Lemmy e dar essa sensação do r/brasil é usar o All e ficar conectada em todas as instâncias do Lemmy possíveis.

Não é obrigatório saber inglês bem, mas ajuda muito já que a troca e investida ao Lemmy é primordialmente algo internacional.

Stupid question, wasn't that a risky move? I mean, the way I was raised to think by my parents I can hear their voices in the back of my head if I went through a situation like this, similar to this:

"But aren't you worried they might hire you then fire you just out of spite for switching companies? And then what are you gonna do?"

As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch

Elon Musk has faced a hiccup in his drive to rebrand Twitter as X after police stopped work to remove the old name from the sign at the company’s San Francisco headquarters. On Monday, workers were seen removing the first letters of the word Twitter before the local police department stopped them from continuing the “unauthorised work,” according to an alert sent by the department. According to police, the social media firm had failed to communicate with security and the building’s owner its plans to remove the sign at the Market Street headquarters.

Call me crazy, but this shitty article and workers being halted seems to be fabricated just to kickstart this brand name change for Elon Musk
