I think 90% of my posts are deleted before sending because I just know that someone somewhere will find a way to be mad about it

But OK - here is a post that I would usually have deleted :)

He certainly running the country into the ground like one of his businesses

Lol. I uh. Guess I didn't want a one time payment option after all.

More good place memes please.

You also don’t get to enjoy many of the PSVR 2’s vaunted box features — HDR, headset feedback, and eye tracking are all disabled. So are the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback (not including rumble) on the controllers.

Wtf sony

Cool beans. Thanks spez, for introducing me to lemmy.

I had this argument with a boomer HR consultant and she just doubled down, even though I explained that neither I nor my colleagues, give two hoots about fussball or team building. Our position is a resounding "fuck you pay me" but oh no - boomer knows best.

Thanks Mr Trump - this really helps us sell our non-US technology to the Europeans. Keep on making stuff great again 🤘

I can hear the ‘just use Linux/BSD/etc.’ crowd already clamoring in the comments, and will preface this by saying that although I use Linux and BSD on a nearly daily basis, I would not want to use it as my primary desktop system for too many reasons to go into here.

Still though.

I dunno about winning. Lemmy user count is through the roof. And Im one of the people who left when they pulled the API nonsense. The way they gaslit and lied to the Apollo dev was just unacceptable. Couldn't participate there after that.

Shout out to jerboa. Very smooth transition from Sync. Suspect with the recent rexodus it'll only get better.

Me neither but I'll do an ignorant take and invite someone more knowledgeable to correct me: The tech to make films without human actors is available, and Hollywood studios think that they have unlimited rights forever to the digital likenesses of the actors they have contracts with. Which is pretty fucking rich from the same corporations that think we should pay for the same film on dvd, on blu ray, on blu ray in a different region, on the apple store, on the play store, and reserve the right to revoke our access to any of these where possible.

And the ad was one of their anti piracy ads ("you wouldn't download a car"), from the time where they made the nonsense claim that every pirate download was equal to lost revenue, as they tried to erode Internet privacy and bankrupt people who didn't have enough money to defend themselves in court.

Under current Italian law, the member of a same-sex couple who is not legally recognized as a child’s parent could lose custody if the legally recognized parent dies or the relationship ends.

Shameful, hateful shit. What the hell Italy.

Be kind to yourself

This is a weird phenomenon. Feels a bit like how focusing on "welfare queens" / "dole bludgers" can pave the way for similar privacy erosion (and welfare cuts) even though its a tiny percentage of the people. Seems a short hop away from "if you've got nothing to hide...."

She is a lot less busy than I would have thought.

In Norway you don't break stride as a pedestrian, so any number above 0 seconds is unusual at a zebra crossing. There's always this "oops I'm not in Norway anymore" moment i have as i consider trying the same shit in other countries.

I would think it's a good thing that there are a lot of greybeards in FOSS? If the claim is true, then it should mean that once you get into FOSS you tend to stay there.

The article seems to be referring to FOSS code contribution more than user adoption, but the same idea holds. The more I learn about my distro and its packages, the less scared I get about something going wrong that I can't fix and the less likely it is I will go back into an OS riddled with ads and spyware.

For code contribution I only ever managed to do a PR for a Kodi plugin, and even then it was only because this amazing guy from their team walked me through the whole thing step by step. It was quite intimidating figuring out how to do that stuff for the first time.

There is a really interesting dev discussion on this topic here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3033

After after we lost the PM that went for a swim, we proceeded to name swimming pools after him.
