The people involved in these groups deserve to be thrown into the volcano.
- Comment on I used to get annoyed at all the permission requests from Snapchat over and over again. Ever since the enshittification movement tho, I've been groomed to appreciate their transparency. 1 day ago:
it’s a replacement for texting, voice, and video calls. It’s encrypted and private.
- Comment on It do be like that sometimes 1 day ago:
Conversation is hard for everyone, but some people play story mode while others get stuck on nightmare. Don’t give up, every improvement will return a profit on your efforts.
I’m sorry people are jerks. Social mores are based on trivia and superstition. Don’t internalize it as though it was an accurate reflection of your character.

This reminds me of how Signal nags you constantly about entering your PIN, Only to find out it’s not a requirement, they’re just trying to help you memorize it.

99/100 times complaints about “politics” is a someone taking offense at being confronted with politics they don’t like.
But yea, if you like reactionary politics, Windows, or AI, Lemmy is going to be a bad time.

- Comment on Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes... 2 days ago:
Gaming is an grownup hobby for adults. Under 18yo are less than a quarter of gammers.
This idea that games companies don’t understand their customers is a myth. They know who plays their games and more importantly who buys their games.
When games companies act in ways that disappoint, cheat, or exploit their customers, it’s not because they goofed (usually). It’s because they’re business assholes and customer satisfaction is subordinate to plenty of things that are opaque to the gaming public.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 days ago:
The reflexive hate for M$ is not irrational fan-boys bashing a rival, but bitterness over prolonged and profound annoyance, suffering, and downright abuse experienced through using the products produced by that dogshit company.
I switched because I wanted software that didn’t hate me and my values.
What’s irrational is the Stockholm-syndrome Windows user who thinks it’s normal and right to run software that spies, advertises, and generally treats users like a resource to be exploited.
- Comment on If someone is bullied to suicide/threatened to death, and they actually attempt something like that or die, will the person who told them to do so get charged? 2 days ago:
When I was in HS, a dude hung himself and everybody blamed his bully, who to be fair was a dogshit person. However it turned out that the dead student had been sexually exploited by both his parents his entire life.
You would have to show me strong evidence ala Michelle Carter before I’ll draw conclusions about what’s going on in the mind of a suicidal person.
- Comment on guys what the heck theyre putting micro chips in the cheese and using blockchains to track the micro chips 3 days ago:
It’s ironic that the design of blockchain is to be impossible to edit as security against fraud. Because crypto is famous for all the fraud, And the block-chain’s nature makes the fraud permanent and fixed.
At least one of the currencies had to fork because fraudulent transactions couldn’t be undone.
- Comment on Inflation markers 3 days ago:
Even before inflation, jerky was stupid expensive. Slim-Jims were, per-pound, more expensive than prime beef.
- Comment on Did you know? 3 days ago:
I called a cop “Napoleon” once. He assumed I referred to the 18^th^ century emperor. Not big readers, cops.
- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 3 days ago:
CC and subtitles are awesome. Making them cheap enough so that they’re universal even on cheap online content is one of the actual benefits to AI technology.
- Comment on Pope Joan 4 days ago:
After the advent of DNA testing, many anthropologists and archeologists were embarrassed because skeletal remains were missexed.
Even my A&P textbook had this garbage in it. It claimed racial difference in the skull and sex difference in the Hip bones. But it’s bullshit. The most reliable way to sex a skeleton is with DNA.
‘The Mismeasure of Man’ by Gould is a fascinating history of bio-determinism and psudoscientific attempt to measure it.
- Comment on If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, that means we've got an escape route 6 days ago:
It always confused me to think of going to hell on a road. ACDC notwithstanding. I always pictured a trap door. Like St. Peter had a button under his desk.

The most frustrating thing about time travel is that people widely understand that almost any minor action you take can have mortal consequence, but nobody applies the same truth to living in the present.

- Comment on Digital security and encryption in Movies and TV Shows are in a superposition of being unbreakable and weak, depending on plot convienience. 1 week ago:
I learned this week that Microsoft keeps a copy of your keys when you encrypt your hdd with their software. So you don’t need a black hat, all you need is a subpoena.
