Me too. But I’ll wait for stable release.
- Comment on Is there an extensive guide on how to protect kids on the internet? 1 month ago:
If the BNPL offer comes with 0% interest and you pay with debit, or a credit card that you always pay off timely, I don’t see how it can be such a bad thing. Spending your money immediately, especially with the inflation accounted for, a fix $50 over twelve or twenty-four months means you actually came out ahead theoretically, since your money went further.
The only catch here is of course that vendors will price their goods accordingly, where BNPL or loans will be the only way to afford their goods.

- Comment on What do you create? 2 months ago:
Time to get off lemmy. Go for a run/jog/walk in the cold to the nearest stationery store and buy some pen and paper. Then get home and get to writing.
You can do it!
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 2 months ago:
I don’t understand this line of thought. As in you are childless by choice BECAUSE of what is going on in the US?

cull classism, fascism, racism, transphobia , homophobia, misogyny, and pedophilia from the world
One of these is not like the others.

- Comment on What should I bring to far-north Scandinavia? 2 months ago:
For the outer layer, do not go with synthetic stuff, despite what people will tell you. An oversized Icelandic wool sweater or similar will catch snow and wind much more effectively (and dry in no time when indoors.

- Comment on Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes 2 months ago:
I up voted it for their effort anyway. It’s contributing discussion. Including you calling them out on it. You also deserve an (ultimately meaningless and fleeting) up vote.
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 2 months ago:
Hope you like your new saviour, Crappy AI Generated Arch Jesus!
- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 2 months ago:
Why do folks hate crunchyroll here so much? I’ve been torrenting anime before like everyone else, but a couple years gap later I have found it more convenient to pay $9/mo or whatever and watch shows interchangeably on TV, PC, tablet and phone. I get it, I could do this using self-hosting with various tools, but all those have an upfront cost for a media server and time invested in figuring out how I can make it all work seamlessly on a 2017 LG TV, an iPhone, Linux and a shitty Samsung tablet, plus potentially subscription fee for seed box and/or VPN as well. Whereas crunchyroll just works and if I get tired of anime again, I’ll just cancel the service.
The only thing I don’t like about crunchyroll is the lack of dubbed kids shows.

It sounds like the problem is not with the feds but with the DMCA. It needs to be overturned.

Heresy. Only sweet paprika is real paprika.
- Comment on LinkedIn fined $335 million in EU for tracking ads privacy breaches 2 months ago:
I think the problem goes deeper. Their page tracks everything you do and then sells that data to third parties. UBO only blocks ads and tracking.
The only way to prevent linkedin from selling data related to you is to not use their site at all.
- Comment on Peter Todd in hiding after being “unmasked” as bitcoin creator 2 months ago:
I see this shit about Chomsky being regurgitated like once a week somewhere, and every time I actually read the source material that someone like a YouTube is referring to, I just come to the realization that people can’t read for shit and don’t understand philosophy and hypotheticals.
Not that I do, but Chomsky is definitely not full of shit, nor a genocide denier.

- Comment on Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens 3 months ago:
Reading that whole page, holy shit, it’s like a twelve year old wrote it trying to sound very smart while also attempting to divert blame and falsify agenda. If this ain’t a Russian psyop, nothing is.
