Right? I understand Windows is mass surveillance spyware, but holy shit the Linux proselytizing on this site is worse than any Christian mission, it’s straight up ridiculous. If anything, all the constant nagging will further entrench some users into Windows out of spite.

Obviously it’s higher. If it was any lower, they would’ve made a huge announcement out of it to prove they’re better than the competition.

This is the first time they’ve been caught. It would be naive to think this is the only time this has happened. No doubt they’ve scrubbed data of bad actors on their side many times without anyone knowing.

I don’t believe so, I think it has to do more with seeing something novel that you don’t get to see every day. Like, not many people have the means to fill a house with elephant toothpaste, so when someone does that it makes for a pretty entertaining video.

First thing I thought of lmao

I wonder if there’s a market here. I feel like a company that cleans up AI bullshit would make bank lol

I love this idea, but the main obstacle this has to overcome is the voter’s knowledge of the issues and any given candidate stances on them. If we implemented this in the US, I feel like most people would still simply delegate all their votes to one candidate or all candidates of a particular party. It’s a lot of information for a working person to keep track of. Any idea on how to overcome this with paper ballots? Or are computerized ballots with all relevant information embedded within the way to go?

I’m a pretty conservative game purchaser. I’ve never paid over $40 for a game (including games on sale) because there are so, so many amazing indie games on Steam that charge so little for many hours of fun.

When I see a AAA game come out, I know it’s going to be profit-driven, uninspired, and rushed because it exists solely for the purpose of making money for a large corp. For that reason (among others), I avoid them altogether because I know my dollar goes way further going toward an independent developer who makes games for passion (and only sometimes for money). The passion always shines through in their work, unlike passionless AAA games.

Absolutely, I’m not sure who else could believably play him. Jesse Eisenberg is made for this role lol

These shit-quality shitposts are like the spaz kid at lunchtime showing you his “meme collection” against your will. I get serious secondhand embarrassment from seeing them. It’s sad seeing Lemmy’s shitpost community devolve into 9gag/ifunny.

For real. They weren’t even funny the first time they came around in 2018. Shitposts used to be quality

turns out a lot of people didn’t pay attention in 6th grade social studies.

Your thoughts are valid. But that’s the thing - they’re just thoughts. They won’t hurt you and nobody will judge you for having them.

Thoughts and emotions flow in and out of your awareness for a reason. If you want to come to a decision, you have to first understand where your thoughts and emotions are coming from. You should analyze them objectively as they come without indulging them further. Kind of like analyzing why movie characters do the things they do but for yourself.

Why do you feel like you don’t deserve a boyfriend? Why do you feel like you’re gross? What do you think is causing these feelings?

in other words, a hammer “got absolutely wrecked” by a handsaw in a board-halving competition

i have a vague overview. care to share?

yesss, Rodriguez is so good. his lyrics are not only meaningful, but casual and relatable. broached real topics with such grace, it’s a real shame he’s not more well known. hate street dialogue is my favorite of his

you’re completely right dude. and the downvotes of users who were disaffected by this post prove it.

i find that the reason this attitude is so prevalent on lemmy is because, well, lemmy is perceived as the niche place for cool kids whereas reddit is perceived as the forum for normies. a lot of users here get a superiority complex solely from not being reddit. add that to the fact that the majority of users here are highly technical and take pride in their expertise… you get the idea.

this attitude then belies every discussion that happens on this platform. comments that insist that you should “just” do something only exist to communicate the user’s belief that their way is better than any other way.

use that body wash, take road trips, and crank that thermostat if it makes you happy. nobody gets to govern you and you’re not obligated to listen to them.

hey my dude, you have an interesting post history. what inspires your posts? care to share your story?

the EPA announced they’re rolling back regulations on forever chemicals today. the crew behind veritasium timed the release of this video so perfectly that i can’t help but wonder if they held it in the backlog waiting for this admin’s EPA to do some dumb shit.

any chance we could move that to next week?
