  Is flex X on the haters a way of logging to console?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mark Zuckerberg says Apple and Google should manage parental consent for apps, not Meta⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately yes. From my 3rd grade daughter’s class she the only one with parental controls turned on on her phone. The amount of time and the things those kids see and do on the internet with unrestricted access at this age is mentally unhealthy and they are just not ready for that. Unfortunately because of that it also means I can’t fully prevent her from being exposed to that in the classroom.

  It depends, you can pick it. It can range from a simple 4 digit numeric PIN to a full blown alphanumeric with symbols password text field.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify will end service in Uruguay due to bill requiring fair pay for artists⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s definitely the case, and that’s not the only country with laws that protect artists this way, for example Brazil right next to it also have it’s own set of laws, had then even before Spotify was a thing, but Spotify is happily in Brazil since 2014.

  The Uruguayan law is just not well though, and that’s what happens when you put incompetent people in charge of making laws for things they don’t have the slightest clue of how they work. They kill an entire industry.

  Sure but people can be a little more sensible to think not to dress as a fucking ninja at night and expect to be seen?

  I wanted to bring this up, I’m glad others also see it. (Or rather don’t? :p)

  I hope you’re right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monaspace - Microsoft presents a new font family for code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The fonts are nice but I absolutely hate the “copilot voice” text moving around idea, it’s absolutely terrible to read.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If someone says “there’s been a bombing” I will understand it is in the premises of where I am because that HOW LANGUAGE WORKS you fucking moron.

  Omit the location in a location dependent phrase and the location is your location.

  Stop spreading toxicity otherwise you’re the terrorist too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What makes this website resistant to enshitrification?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine GIMP is enshitified somehow. Well that won’t work because the source code is available and people will just create a fork and work with that instead.

  There’s many Lemmy and Mastodons servers AND clients out there, being open source is already one thing add federation on top and you see no one really is in control of Lemmy or Mastodon as a whole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024 with listeners migrated to YouTube Music⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well fuck here we go again. I can’t stand YouTube Music, and Spotify is not where I want to go for Podcasts.

  Comeon Google stop pulling this kind of crap.

  This dude really need to change his haircut lol he looks like he just do it himself at home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Possible to use external image for community banner?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a file size upload limit on lemm.ee as far as I remember. I am not sure if it has been lifted, neither what’s the size, but it was something about 20 kB or something very small.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'I Lost Everything': California Photographer Blames AI Bias for Instagram Ban | KQED⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately those are not platforms meant for archiving, it’s in their own TOS they can take down any content or entire accounts at their own will and for undisclosed reasons. Also those platforms are subject to shitty practices like report abusing, yet another reason to put your content in danger.

  Also unfortunately they are very attractive because of the influence a person can build with large network of followers in those platforms and how they can leverage that.

  I don’t see a plausible solution or alternative. Instagram, Facebook, are the platform of the masses and where your content has the highest exposure. People today aren’t browsing “the web” like we used to back then. Instagram/Facebook are the internet.

  I know it sounds awful but on the other hand Linus explains why it’s like that in this video youtu.be/7KuLMe6KSVQ?si=DAdNH3JlZ4HShIYZ

  Not trying to justify it, just it’s good to know why.
