Hey, you may like us over at !popheads

scrubbles, to asklemmy in What's a good way to prank your coworker?
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

We did this too, always a lesson in locking your computer. “Hey team I’ll be buying lunch today since I forgot to lock my computer!”

Just make sure it’s a small group and not 20 hungry people

we haven’t had a creative idea in years and this is cheaper than paying writers

scrubbles, to memes in Twitter users right now
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

I’m guessing there’s no direct place for it there without reading email ( but even then your doctor should not be emailing you directly without a layer of encryption).

Probably it’s more of a “hey if we stumble on it it’s ours now”. Like if you subscribe to a lot of parkinson’s info they probably can safely assume you or someone you know has Parkinson’s. And they’ll use that to shove ads in your face.

Idk… Creator goes on about how ad funded internet ruined the internet and then does a hard 180 saying that he can’t sustain himself without ad based internet as a content creator.

Which… I thought that was his point? Idk very mixed messaging from him.

scrubbles, to memes in Classic idiots
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

Yes, we know all of that. It’s still better than driving fossil fuels. Something that is only partially better is still better. It doesn’t mean we just keep doing what we have been because “oh but it’s only partially better”.

There is no silver bullet solution right now. Batteries get better and easier every year. Alternatives will crop up. You’re not proving your point, you just come off as unwilling to change but hiding behind thin “eco” reasoning.

Again, to really drive it home. We know they’re not perfect. They’re just better than the alternative. Better does not mean perfect.

It’s always “ah ha but did you know it’s only 80% better for the planet? Gotcha, idiot!” Like yeah, we know.

The best solution is not to drive at all, but if we’re forced to in this backwards country that has been mislead to believe public transport is a bad thing then we might as well take the option that’s 80% better rather than 0% better

scrubbles, to technology in Amazon claims it isn’t a “Very Large Online Platform” to evade EU rules
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

Nope still just as sad and rundown. It definitely looks the same every time I go down there, there isn’t always a new building going up for some large website.

You know I live in Seattle, and you’re right. It’s like a small hole in the wall operation, Jeff Bezos works out of a window serving up boxes of stuff.

It’s not like they own entire neighborhoods or dominate the skyline or anything.

scrubbles, to asklemmy in People who work in food service or customer service: What’s the dumbest thing a customer ever insisted was “the law” or “illegal”?
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

could you just check the back please?

Sure, I can go play on my phone for 5 minutes while “checking the back”.

Karen look, ‘the back’ only has things we don’t have space for, it isn’t a secret second store we hide stuff from you.

scrubbles, to asklemmy in Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

This is why I’m in favor. I’m not the hugest fan, but if the alternative is YouTube or facebooks like system then I’ll take the downvotes. Otherwise you get the low quality like farms where minions memes are uploaded everywhere and there’s no way to say “we hate these, stop posting them”

scrubbles, to selfhosted in APC server rack with threaded holes instead of cage nuts
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

I learned this the hard way, there is a difference between a “data rack”, which is the one with cage screws, and a “network rack”, which comes with the threaded machine screws. I believe switches have standardized screws

scrubbles, to selfhosted in Can you host Lemmy on a windows computer?
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

If you compiled from source maybe, but that’s the point of docker, you can run docker containers anywhere

Browsing your files? Why wouldn’t you need an ad pushed in your face?

The “10 year OS” that was 2015. Guess profits got in the way.

Oh and 10 didn’t track you enough or put enough ads in the OS.
