It is a good kind of hate, the hate of fascists, and they are bad people. People who hate fascists are better than people who support fascists. Right-wing is made up of fascists, or people who tacitly support fascism.

Very vaguely related, I had a somewhat-friend in college who told me about her, her twin, and her year younger sister would fight constantly all the time. Imagine 3 close aged kindergardeners just constantly at each other’s throats when you were really not ready. They were so fed up that they went into the kitchen placed the three of them in equal distances away from the center, and then gave them each a knife and said “Go! If you hate each other so much, kill each other!”

The all started sobbing and hugged each other, and got along a lot better after that.

That’s…def trauma territory, but, it’s an example that human instinct to divided resources (emotional attention from a parent is REQUIRED for children’s psyche) isn’t darwinian. America specifically touts Survival of The Fittest as THE default human psyche and I find that it’s just not true.

I always like the soft clicks it made when communicating on the internet, after the screaming noise, when it settled down. Soft hum of the computer and little clicks as I read a forum post.

A reminder that there are many firefox forks that exist if base firefox is adding unwanted things or you might have different wants, but sites will still “see” firefox in terms of compatibility. I’m using Librewolf with some annoyances (it doesn’t let things fingerprint to the point that it can’t even get your current time), but overall I like it.

You can attach an audio file to a post on mastodon and it gets an embedded player. Just federate a compatible audio file?

They spoof numbers. It almost always is a number from my state or the area code, very rarely do I get calls from out of state and they are all already labeled “spam risk/telemarketer” when they come in.

Also thank you for writing this comment, I was going to say ios had no way to block unknown numbers, but I searched to double check myself and they finally do have that option! It may have been around for quite awhile, I hadn’t checked for a long while.

If you are sending the links through discord/chat with embed add vx in front of tiktok and it becomes playable in discord itself. (www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8b81Gu1/ -> www.vxtiktok.com/t/ZT8b81Gu1/)

In a removed move, a normal tiktok link will have a play button on the icon like it should play, but can’t. This one actually will.

What is it about short vertical video that makes people froth insanely at the mouth? Don’t “china” me on it, people whine over youtube shorts, instagram reels, they poopoo on snapchat, loathed twitter stories, and thought vine was a stupid idea. It feels like an ancient redditor thing, but I was in the 11 year club too and it’s just a different type of format for media, media which can be used in many different ways, as always. Like how internet video generally is different to TV.

jokes aside, it’s just not a really attractive title.

I’ve played 48 hours in one of the games in there, Traveller’s Rest, about running a tavern. It has money, supply, employees, trends etc. But I’m not enjoying it because Yay Capitalism! It’s because when you’re running your own cute shop with virtual money it’s fun. I do like the genre, but being reminded of the systems that are causing a lot of real world shit is just a bad title.

But I guess “Business Sim Sale” wasn’t flashy enough.

I have no type of economics experience, but what if representatives of a demographic of people should be paid the median wage of those people, with high punishment for corruption and bribes?

If they would like to earn more, they should lift their states’s lowest wages. This goes down to all levels, a mayor of a city only earns the median wage of the city. It is a civil servant job after all, it shouldn’t be glamorous.

Twitch is no longer a gaming only platform. It went full circle back to being an everything streaming site. People chat, people draw, people code, people make stuff with their hands. It’s been that way for awhile.

I tried to get an ADHD diagnosis and my report came back with a mini-novel about how I was just a hysterical female with self-image issues I displayed as a way to garner praise and attention from those around me. My attention and focus problems were only because I just found the everyday stresses of life so difficult, being so fragile.

Any one who knew me felt disgusted reading it. But it’s made me very hesitant in trying again to get a diagnosis.

It’s annoying, but you can covert the garbage at the end of like the youtube.com/shorts/afaftxsdds to youtube.com/watch?v=afaftxsdds and it’ll behave and be able to be interacted with like a normal video.

This reminds me that my loan servicer sent me a reminder, to which I could not log on and they couldn’t recover my info through even SSN so I emailed them. I never got a response. Should…probably look into that.

misnina, 6 months ago

I wish! I was trying to login because the government emailed me to remind me and who my servicer is. So THEY know that it’s there somewhere. My service provider probably has the account but I guess lost the data, but they still have SSN + an account somewhere. Just kinda bullshit in general because they aren’t answering emails because of an influx of communication, so call center time with probably hours of wait.

This overall bullshit of doing opt-out fucking sucks. Opt-IN! Pissing off people and the. going “oh well there’s an opt-out” is so stupid. New experimental features that don’t directly benefit the user should be that they must have to opt-in manually. Off by default.

I'd rather there be a dedicated instance to archiving subreddits rather than populate current communities with old stuff. (As in, probably could do this to more than just selfhosted) Read only, if lemmy even works that way, but federated so people on lemmy can link to it and read in app easily. We shouldn't let reddit hold the keys to useful historical information that has been gathered over the years, I feel it needs to be self-hosted and mirrored, but forging a new community culture I think is better than direct baggage from reddit.

"we're working on" "we’re not 100% sure we’re happy with" "could be interesting someday" "we haven’t figured out yet"

Maybe you should have figured all of this out before you asked for developers to pay absorbent amounts and shift more people on to your official apps?

I have very bad typing issues lol. I write things super badly, and then rewrite until spell check gives me something and since I don't know how it's spelled I'll just be like "yep, that looks good."

I was using DuckDuckGo and it was giving me pretty 'eh' results, only marginally better than google on the surface level, but both weren't really usable for deep older searches. (and ddg starting to add sus ads/promoted) Brave is better, but Kagi has been fantastic when I've really needed to find something specific, technical, or very old. I think the best way to come about the pricing structure and limited search results is that I think it's not supposed to be your only search engine from then on. There are times when you need what kagi gives in terms of producing quality and relevant results, and times you just wanna search "[company name] reviews/is a scam?" that using kagi wouldn't serve you better than anything else, so it's more of a tool that you bring out when you aren't finding what you need with free search engines. On it's own page it doesn't try and oversell you on it, they admit that the majority of people don't need paid search most of the time.

I haven't approached if it's an early netflix thing where you could split the bill with others for one login/family plan, that might make it more feasible.

At least for reddit, spez used saying it isn't currently profitable as a pity point in the ama today.
