I mean, they called it “Incognito”.
having one’s true identity concealed
If it doesn’t conceal your identity, then that’s pretty clearly misleading. They’re not selling to experts, the users of this are laypeople. It’s like if you sold a “waterproof phone” and the packaging all made it look like it could withstand water, but then when it got wet it broke and you were like “people just assumed it was waterproof, it’s not our fault”.
Sure experts could tell, and enthusiasts would read the expert opinions on it, but that’s not something you should expect of laypeople considering how it is presented. - Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 16 hours ago:

I’m frustrated that Immich doesn’t have a “back up new photos only” option.
All the photos already on my phone are in a huge external library with my backups from previous phones. I don’t want to delete them from my phone just so immich doesn’t freak out, and I don’t wanna have them on my NAS twice
Immich seems great, but this seems like the bread and butter migration path that nearly everyone would take. - Comment on "Sad thing to be, nonsensical thing to want to be" 💔🥀💔🥀 1 week ago:
It’s economically stable white people trying to find a way to be the victim.
You don’t see actually marginalized white people (poor, disabled, etc) doing this, just suburban Karens and shit - Comment on One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis.

They’ll rationalize it, because at the end of the day, they’re all about feelings rather than facts
- Comment on The movie cars is crazy 2 weeks ago:
Again, I’m not trying to make the world of cars more realistic. I don’t care that they would have evolved differently, that’s not something from the movie. I’m not interested in imagining how the movie could have been different.
Cars is a movie where cars are people
We are people
Cars exist in our world
Imagine that’s what we were. - Comment on "And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?" 2 weeks ago:
There are more reasons to brag and show off than just to seek validation. Their vanity may not be dependent on you.

“that’s so sad”
But realistically probably nothing, someone like that isn’t going to care enough about what you think to be affected by what you say.

But trying to extrapolate from nonsense movies is the fun part!
Let me rephrase, I’m not trying to make the world of cars more realistic, I’m trying to imagine “what if we were as relatively fragile as cars are”. What if our normal every day activities like walking were as risky to us as driving is to a car.
- Comment on The movie cars is crazy 2 weeks ago:
Hmmm… You’re right that cars don’t crash as much as people trip. But they still crash a lot
And while if a cheetah trips while running it’s fine, if a car crashes at its top speed, it will completely come apart. Heck, if a car crashes at highway speed, it’s typically still absolutely destroyed, and highway speed is only gonna be like 1/2 or 1/3 its top speed, so that’s the equivalent of jogging.
A big part of this is the fragility of cars vs their speed.That deleted scene is… It’s… Well that raises so many questions about their universe. I’m just gonna ignore that part lol.
- Comment on The movie cars is crazy 2 weeks ago:
Specifically just speed, I suppose.
Not any of the other perception/durability powers that typically come with it.And not crazy flash-like super speed, just the speed of a car.

It’s been a while, I admit.
But the premise is simple enough that you don’t really need to remember much of it - Comment on The movie cars is crazy 2 weeks ago:
That’s what I’m saying!
What would society even look like if even a light jog was such speeds that tripping would result in a gruesome death? Bumping into someone would tear off limbs? In the movie they’re so casual about it. - Comment on The movie cars is crazy 2 weeks ago:
I feel like they’re different orders of magnitude. Like it’s one thing to enjoy watching people do risky things, and it’s another to enjoy watching something where at least one person is going gruesomely die in front of you during the event.
Like… During the Bad Times of NASCAR, a few people would get seriously injured or die in a season, and it caused a huge commotion where they introduced new safety measures (eventually).
But cars were smashed and torn apart nearly every race.
It’s be like if in a typical game of football, there was greater than 50/50 odds that someone would get drawn, quartered, and disemboweled on the field during the match.But that’s not really the part I was focused on, that was an afterthought.
The real focus was imagine if people jogged at such speeds that tripping would result in gruesome death. What would society even look like? - Submitted 2 weeks ago to showerthoughts@lemmy.world | 34 comments

I was a big windows supporter until win11 when they started adding crazy shit like whatever it is that takes screenshots of every you do. And a bunch of other moves that were even more brain-dead than usual.
My next computer will be something like bazzite, or SteamOS, since they have Linux desktop modes for my desktop needs.
