I hate leaf blowers with the passion of 1000 suns.

Everywhere I am there is a guy running a leaf blower. At my house, leaf blowers everywhere all day long. At work, of course, leaf blowers blowing dirt and allergens into the air. It’s such a special noise, it goes through walls and headphones so effectively. They are the most pervasive, annoying things on the planet. I hate...

xia,

I hate when they wait along the side of the road, and blow the leaves at the passing cars.

xia,

Sounds ripe for a legal challenge, but neo-ownership of digital-goods is already so fragile.

xia, (edited )

True for digital goods THEY are supposed to own, but also consider how dominated we are with OUR digital property. I have witnessed how readily tech giants will abuse their position, abuse the power of defaults, weaponize psychology, and feign deletion… even against my lowly grandma. They think nothing of effectively stealing one’s digital photos, using them for their own purposes, and giving them to the police, so they can destroy your life and your dog.

xia,

Ironically, “baby birds” was my first thought until i saw “wright brothers” and started over-thinking it.

xia,

Is this like a vampire thing, where once you invite 'em in they never leave?

Ethically I prefer AMD. Heck, I would sooner buy an Intel GPU than nVidia.

xia,

Nope. Do not pick one AND do both.

xia,

lol… like anyone would notice if one of the million-vote tallies was greater by one.

How to combat creeping firefox enshitification? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I deal with a lot of VMs for varying purposes, and it seems frequent that my purpose for opening firefox is derailed by some kind of nag. For example, I frequently get the “you haven’t used firefox in a while” in vms that I rarely use firefox and have to go disable the “meta refresh” option in the “about:config”....

xia,

All the craters are from rednecks shooting at it. :)

xia,

Flat Earthers have come full circle.

xia,

Seems to imply it’s the exception and not the rule. It’s hard enough to figure out what I want/need for myself, why would someone’s guess or random whim be better? Just toss it on the pile of stuff people expect me to keep b/c they gave it to me…

xia,

This is kinda what i imagine an open source car would look like.

xia,

Is water proofing really a bigger deal than the 3.5mm audio jack? Subjectively, I use the jack nearly every day, and have not dropped a phone into a toilet even once.

xia,

At first I thought this was a GenAI image.

Assuming it is ever right to cage a human as punishment, i guess one would need a special room on the exterior wall of the prison.

Inside the room (and prison?) both are unencumbered (the free one is just visiting for the twins sake), but in order to leave (as one has the right to) the other must don one of those shrouds from the Foundation series.

xia,

Would if i could, o darling pixels of mine…

I'm so sick of every single medical-related question people have online constantly getting spammed with 'talk to your doctor!!!!'

The way people online constantly say ‘talk to your doctor’ like it’s a panacea is a lot like how medieval peasants weren’t able to read scripture and they just had to trust their clergy’s interpretations...

xia,

Abdication to authority, with a hint of hivemind mass-formation.

xia,

I thought systemd read fstab to dynamically create the mount units? First i’ve heard of someone bespoke mount units… but sounds neat!

xia,

The same object lesson could apply to technofascism, data-silos, police seizures, …
