I keep getting arguments from peoplee about this, even on Bluesky.
Apparently it’s too much to expect people to inconvenience themselves and not follow their favorite musicians or whatever.
If the vast majority of people can’t be assed to take the absolutely easiest step possible to fight (or avoid supporting) fascists/Nazis, then we really are fucked.
Same thing with how people could very, very easily choose just NOT to buy another Nazicar. Yet 90% if Americans still bought one last month as a year earlier. It’s just about the smallest sacrifice I can think of - just buying a DIFFERENT car that you might not like quite as much.
And I think the fact that we are where we are right now also confirms the problem.
- Comment on Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands 1 week ago:
They did?
- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 4 weeks ago:
I’m guessing the cheap laptop was running Windows? You didn’t mention, it sounds at first like you’re saying you were using Linux on it.
What ads were everywhere? Why did it “take 2 hours to get to the desktop” - you mean, that’s how long it took to install or something?
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 1 month ago:
Yes, like any Linux running KDE. With Steam installed.
- Comment on The AI-powered collapse of the American tech workfoce 1 month ago:
Lots and lots of others have laid off. Presumably some better companied have added jobs in the meantime.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 1 month ago:
Thats been my experience as well.
On SO it seems much more likely that the answers answering a different question have a negative score.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 1 month ago:
I never once actually asked a question there. Partly because most of the time, the question I was asking had always been asked.
However, I have found the correct answer to 100s of questions there. Usually through google/ddg/kagi searches.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 1 month ago:
This is interesting because a huge amount of AI “knowledge” comes from stack exchange.
Now I’ll go read the other comments and article to see if that’s already been mentioned :)

Best?
- Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs 1 month ago:
That dossn’t seem like “one path” if it’s almost the exact opposite of what they were saying.
- Comment on People have private conversations on speaker phone but if I participate then I'm the crazy one 1 month ago:
Use your shoulder? Or a headset?
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 month ago:
A bunch of people are like that, too.
It’s like buying some expensive bottle of wine, thwn chugging half. And throwing the rest away.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 month ago:
Unless it was a new Harry Potter apparently.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 month ago:
Oh no?

Read the article?

KDE Neon here. I really really like it.
- Comment on There are people who are still using toilet paper purchased during the pandemic. 1 month ago:
Right, you just use, you know, non-disposable diapers in that case.
- Comment on Google restores Nextcloud user’s file access on Android 1 month ago:
I keep starting to set up nextcloud (or something) for files, but then wondering why I wouldnt just use NFS/SMB.
- Comment on Google restores Nextcloud user’s file access on Android 1 month ago:
Good.
- Comment on No, Steam wasn’t hacked, and your account details are safe 1 month ago:
What if they write it down in a single, centralizedz password manager? Which itself could be compromised?
That’s the only way I can keep the literally 100 accounts ive accumulated over the years straight, without reusing passwords.
And while I believe that is reasonably secure in my case, if that got compromised I’d be pretty screwed (well, 2fa would probably still limit the worst of it). But most people probably wouldn’t even be that secure about it.
- Comment on No, Steam wasn’t hacked, and your account details are safe 1 month ago:
Doesn’t hoit!
- Comment on People have private conversations on speaker phone but if I participate then I'm the crazy one 1 month ago:
Why would you want to use speakerphone anyway? Especially in a public place where they’d be harder to hear?
- Comment on Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors 1 month ago:
It can be both!
- Comment on A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them 1 month ago:
Still there
- Comment on Lemmy.one will be shutting down 1 month ago:
Unrelated, but Moby Dick was named after a real white whale named Mocha Dick, which was nicknamed after first being encountered near Mocha Island.
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 1 month ago:
It needs access to the file system. But why would it need access to the whole thing? Just download to its own storage, no? Then use something else to copy elsewhere.
Unless this is to support saving to any folder, or built in smb support or something.
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 1 month ago:
Wait, why would libretorrent require all files access?
