I’ve feel a deep resentment when asked to work on anything Windows related!

It’s just a fucking ad, shame on you for posting this BS.

Yeah Grammarly was selling all your data LONG before the AI showed up.

Funny how some people are only nervous now that their data might be used to train a language model. I was always more worried about spooks! :)

Sometimes you need to go down more to learn the art of acceptance. Embrace that darkness.

Most suicidal people just want to flirt with the idea a bit, it’s better to allow them to go through that process openly so they can recover faster. For those who are serious, it’s not clear that forcing them to stick around is better either IMO.

Better out then in!

Fucking nightmare fuel

Another proposal for the Jamaican flag, submitted by the public in 1962. Alternatively, a flag for the drug desomorphine (a.k.a. krokodil)? (upload.wikimedia.org)

It was probably for the better that they did not go for this flag. It is hard to think anything else than “Russia with a crocodile”. And at least I relate that to the dangerous semi-synthetic opioid desomorphine, common in Russia, and referred to as “krokodil”....

Well written, I wonder what caused that emotional resentment?

My guess would be cancel culture, I believe his supporters only like him because progressive people hate him.

You don’t need heating in the future mate, the globe will be hotter! Get some sunglasses instead.

If you don't mind me asking what is so important about privacy?

What harm does public data have to you? Couldn’t one just ignore the ads? You can’t see anyone watching you, is public data good for public records? (I’m just curious). I know this sounds weird but is public data good for historical preservation and knowledge increasing the importance of the individual? And does public...

michael,
@michael@lemmy.perthchat.org avatar

Couldn’t you just ignore the ads?

That’s not how ads work, they are extremely manipulative and leave lasting impressions on your psyche, even if you conciously reject their message.

You got me! I never used Twitter and think that the people who do use it should suffer. :D

Keep going Elon! You can doooo it!

If it’s as revolutionary as some claim it might be, then it’s a tragedy that there is a patent on it.

How to get over not having a good college experience?

I’m going into my last year of college and I kinda felt like I did college wrong. Like, my grades are good but everything else about college I failed at. Like socially and stuff, after 4 years I barely know anybody. I commuted(to avoid debt, and did so successfully) so maybe that’s part of my problem....

Yeah the internet has driven everybody crazy. Large addictive platforms that feed you more of what you interact with, putting you in a “bubble”, seem to be the root cause.

How does using Matrix compare with using Signal, privacy-wise?

I’m not sure if it is entirely accurate to compare them in this way, as “Matrix” refers to simply the protocol, whereas “Signal” could refer to the applications, server, and protocol. That being said, is there any fundamental difference in how the Matrix ecosystem of federated servers, and independently developed...

michael,
@michael@lemmy.perthchat.org avatar

Signal is a smartphone app, so you can trust it as much as you trust smartphones. :) It is more reliable and user friendly however, which is important too.

I’m a big fan of all his changes, as I hate Twitter and I want to see its users suffer! :D

You can do it Elon! Jack the price of a blue check up while you’re at it! It should be $18… no $80 a month!

I asked my co-admin once if he thought Capitalism was evil, he’s usually extremely careful with his words. He responded with “it might be”.

It seems to have a lot of real problems, wealth inequality, human exploitation, environmental destruction. I think countries that have a mixed system, where it’s part capitalist and part socialist tend to do better in most metrics. I wouldn’t want to live in a country without socialised medicine, socialised education and pretty strict environmental restrictions.

michael,
@michael@lemmy.perthchat.org avatar

Couldn’t agree more!

michael,
@michael@lemmy.perthchat.org avatar

Yeah… it really seems like a paywall is the only thing that stops this. 🤷‍♂️

Oww well, it was fun while it lasted!

Cloudflare offers abuse imagery scanning which seems ideal for Lemmy. If you’re using them as a CDN already it’s something you can simply apply for.

Instances that don’t want to take any action against such content would likely be prosecuted eventually.

I’m sorry your feeling lonely bro, if you have any interests consider joining a local group to make friends/connections. As for the question… eh there’s probably a varietybif reasons.

Spoiler alert, federated networks made up of small-time server owners are extremely vulnerable to both human and AI driven propaganda, dissemination, manipulation etc.

I predict that unfortunately lemmy and the other fediverse networks are doomed. We have maybe a few years at most, then only paywalled serviced will be able to stand up against the onslaught.

Would you be willing to pay like ~$2 dollars a month to avoid this? Or are you expecting solutions for free?
