It is genuinely scary, but most don’t understand how the system works. This is like the Republicans winning Texas except part of the Republican party refuses to work with the other part because they are nazis. So the sane half work with the democrats to keep the Nazis from having influence.

Oh ya well, go back to your country. Oh you already live there? Well…keep doing that!

Lemmy has already hit critical mass. More people means more bots, state actors, and trolls. But it also means more memes and small subs.

My TV is 15 years old and works fine. Getting the best TV out there is not very meaningful anymore.

Faraday laminate around the antenna also.

It’s a lot of dead internet with most posts being dredged up reposts and celeb gossip/worship (which has gotten way worse btw). It’s starting to resemble instagram "memes’ and the nerdier shit is definitely coming over here.

I can get out of lemmy what I got out of reddit a long time ago. It only takes a few hundred smart/funny people to make a chat board good. We’re here now. Hopefully some of the niche communities get ported over soon enough, but the real greatness of reddit was that it was mostly uncensored and intelligent opinion. That’s mostly dead.

Seems like the DNC is basically a dead organization walking and the DSA and other upstarts are going full grass roots. The left operates better from the ground up anyway.

Android features with a UI as dumb as facebook so they can slap their proprietary mix of stupid gestures and menus and where the fuck are my files located and how are my photos on the cloud already I didn’t want to do that, who the fuck made this shit, why is my phone facetiming my boss on accident wtf is going on, why does everything feel like a Tim Robinson skit. Ya but if I don’t have the checkmark then I’m the loser or something.

I remember trying to get some online account activated that was in the apple ecosystem so I try to do it from my PC and it doesn’t work. Call up customer service and they say use your iphone to do it. I’m like, dafuq does it matter what device I use, it’s the internet it should work with any device. So i try again with Chrome (which is my default because the safari search or whatever apple uses sucks balls). Still doesn’t work. Turns out I not only have to do it on an iphone, but I have to do it using safari browser on an iphone. That’s the day I realized that Apple built their entire company on trapping the tech illiterate and keeping them that way. None of the UI makes sense and a lot of the users act like these byzantine features are completely intuitive and superior to all others. No they aren’t, you just don’t speak any other languages but Apple. Most users probably don’t even know what a file is and far fewer could tell you where the data files in their phone are actually located because from what I can tell the user interface just babies you to whatever you’re looking for with a crappy search function.

Like 15 years ago when online dating first became mainstream and began to overtake other forms of meeting people I noticed that the dates that I was getting went absolutely horribly. Most of the ones I met in the real world went great, to the point that I swore of online dating and eventually met my partner that way. I find it so bizarre that people think that every single thing must be done through an app, including socializing. Sharing memes and typing emojis back and forth is not socializing.

I, DECLARE, BANKRUPTCY

From my understanding a hash completely changes when a single part of it is changed. That’s the point of a hash. Sounds like they identified the hashed images from the training set.

54% of Americans 16-74 read below a 6th grade reading level.

Honestly that looks like some fire fried chicken.

The art world is dog eat dog. You are not owed a living in the entertainment business in the slightest.

As a matter of fact having something upset their world view is catastrophic to their entire psyche, so they completely ignore reality, most especially when it stares them in the face. It’s cult behavior through and through.

I have package protection, it’s called a return policy and almost nobody has a shitty return policy because that’s how you get massive hate online.
