  Different country, similar politics: we got refugee kids rooting for the far right (full on Nazi) party thinking they’re hating with them.

  he doesn’t get us

  Really went too far by yelling “it’s a small one!” instead of the customary “oink, oink!”

  If I had known how bad it’d get I would’ve chosen a different field to work in. Sure, I can avoid it in my private life but on the job it’s like I’m in some kind of hostage situation.

  “Oh hi there customer! You know our product your users are accustomed to will only come as a subscription from now on and it’ll also be really bad and force full screen ads. We’ll push two updates per day because our unpaid interns are so agile. Bugs? Oh, no, we call those ‘micro disruptions’. They’re a feature but don’t cost extra! How much the license costs? Well, how much do you have? Yes, it’ll be that much.”

  Also parental controls are ass. Yes you can block (most) pornography but you can’t tell a social media app to not blast a teenager with misinformation. It’s like a playground but with glass shards everywhere. You can forbid the kid from playing there altogether but they’d feel excluded while all their friends are having fun. Somehow there doesn’t seem to be an option to remove the fucking shards though.

  Potato, potato.

  You’re winning so much that you’re starting to say oh no it’s too much winning, ah, please stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's with "*checks notes*" everywhere?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It do be like that. Many of them get repeated till they reach a critical point and everyone is sick of them. Some of them are harder to tolerate than others though. I can deal with people ‘checking notes’ here and there but those who use “literally” as every second word in their sentences awaken a primal rage inside of me that is yearning for rock to split skull. Luckily that trend isn’t as prevalent as it used to be back in the day.

  When the end times are here and you find yourself bored you can come by my cave and check my collection of cool rocks and sticks.

  I’m just glad that as I get older I’m more content with simple things. I’d be ok giving up most tech things and I say that while working in IT myself.

  My favorite part was their demonstration of 3d sound in the video. Yes, this works great on my headphones watching YouTube.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of TV remotes that worked with sound. Both before my time but very interesting to read about.

  Thanks for letting us know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US immigration service wants social media handles of visa applicants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty much dead to me. I know it was always ass but at some point the OC/spam ratio gets too bad to bother. Lost memes were a good time. Now I’d have to sift through 80 incels calling eachother tranny to find a single post with a shred of an original thought behind it. Eh, maybe it’s the same and I just got too old for it. Doesn’t matter in the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US immigration service wants social media handles of visa applicants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It was also raw as fuck. That allowed for some very honest interactions but also introduced a shitload of trash to filter through. Then the whole political influx came in a decade ago and fully ruined it. lemmy seems like a good middle way. no senseless karma farming but also some tools to moderate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You did it. You broken the conditioning.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even used the lever to do so.
