Health Insurance companies are parasites who only exist to cause people misery in exchange for profit so... everyone?

Gen-z here - I know how to torrent lol. It's insane how tech illiterate a lot of my friends are, even in my IT classes don't know what HTTPS is or what an ethernet cable is so... yeah

Feels weird being known as "the guy who's an expert at computers" despite being a noob

Idk why but i fell in love with this and might just use it now

Seems like I'm a newborn paranoid. Favorite os = arch Favorite browser = librewolf Favorite apps = f-droid

I disable cookies on virtually all websites. And I do fear the slippery slope sometimes.

I know bad for democracy and everything but

This app has done nothing positive for my life, arguably began my social media addiction, filled my brain with negative content at the height of COVID and severely impacted my mental health

I don't think governments should ban platforns. But do I think TikTok should have ever existed? No

The value of diamonds are falling because people are now getting Netherite gear.

Watch DogPack404's 3 videos on him on YouTube. Essentially, Jimmy is a massive loser who has rigged and faked challenges, caused sleep deprivation, knowingly hired and protected multiple sex offenders, commited illegal lotteries, having a degrading work culture: (from one of his documents)

No doesn't mean no

And has attempted to silence anyone who speaks out about him with cease and desists, attempting to find any ways to discredit them using his employee's own Xitter accounts, accusing them of being mentally ill or distrustworthy. He is a complete sociopath and nobody should watch him

I'm probably the only person in my entire school who knows what lemmy is lol

Seems like Trump's strategy is to now bully countries into getting what they want. "I want them out!!! I want Canada!!! I want Greenland!!!

He's basically the equivalent of the kid that flips over the monopoly table when someone bought a property before him.

As someone who used to live in Nigeria

I'm shocked our insanely corrupt government is trying to do something mildly good

Great! Seems like a small subset of people are coming to the fediverse again like durring the reddit blackout. Always love having more people to speak to.

This picture says a thousand words.

You have a company advertising their solution to human workers in nice glass plated aluminium billboards, completely neglecting the outside world and the fact that people need to work to live. And there is a homeless person right next to it, who likely, doesn't have a job.

This is the saddest image I have seen on lemmy

If torture methods existed for computers, this would be one of them

Obligatory goku meme

Ahh, replit. Wanna know how to completely destroy your service, community, workforce and reputation in less than a year? Ask them.

I used to use replit at the height of its popularity. If any of you know what Glitch was, it was like that but way cooler.

You could program in virtually every programming language, write Discord bots, make games, talk to people about coding and get viral from your programs. It was basically programming but with social media and with extremely easy to use text editor and theme support basically made Replit the #1 place to program on the Internet.

Then, the AI boom happened. And replit wanted quick cash immediately. So they up their subscription prices slightly with Replit Agent, basically ChatGPT but for programming. They then removed their school system, and decided to stop virtually all community support. Now a lot ot the top projects were AI based but at least you could progran right? Not anymore.

Halfway through 2024, Replit decided to kill the platform in one fell swoop. They restricted all free users to only 3 projects, 1 GB of storage and severely throttled CPUs as well. This made the replit userbase tank. They removed all community features and essentially ghosted everyone. Anyone with a brain abandoned replit and just programmed on their own computers.

It's so sad what happened but hey, at least replit made people who would never program once in their lives programmers through ease of use and social factors.

Earlier this year, Microsoft introduced a so-called "Account Manager" for Windows 11 that appears on the screen when you click your profile picture on the Start menu. Instead of just showing you buttons for logging out, locking your device or switching profiles, it displays Microsoft 365 ads. All the actually useful buttons are now hidden behind a three-dot submenu.

How the fuck are people OK with this?!

prof

the joke writes itself

Yikes

Sharing photos was the point of the app 6 years ago. Now the point is to either meticulously modify yout online image to look like the coolest person on the world - or just spampost memes/porn/disinformation to get followers and brand deals

No, because Librewolf also adds fingerprint resisting which is stronger than Firefox's and has ublock origin installed by default. It also has the ability to block stuff like WebGL and JS canvases by default

Also, Librewolf strips out telemetry and allows for some good about:config flags to be used via simple toggles in settings
