  I know it's pandering to my millennial nostalgia, but they're doing it so well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What everyone gets wrong about the 2015 Ashley Madison scandal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Both definitely are true. I don't mean to indicate that one view is right. One feeds into the other. This is just he natural outcome when one sex is a sexual selector and one is not. I don't envy either group online dating, but for different reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What everyone gets wrong about the 2015 Ashley Madison scandal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember online dating looking more like this from a male perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Systemd 256.1 Addresses Complaint That 'systemd-tmpfiles' Could Unexpectedly Delete Your /home Directory⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm gonna be real. I dont think home directory files should handled by something named tmpfiles.

  But... but... it was in the documentation! /s

  What killed me about the whole thing was how defensive the dev was about the whole thing, basically calling the reporter a moron for running a command without extensive knowledge of the entire system. I don't care how good the documentation is, if open file proceeds to format your hard drive in some circumstances, you done goofed as a dev.

  I wish we were, through taxes. Though we'd probably just pay Boeing forty-eleventy billion dollars to never complete the project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No I get it. I don't like them, but I can live with it if I have to. Luckily my local library has enough DVDs to fill my Jellyfin server. :3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I'm being honest, I can handle an ad in my pause menu as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of operating the device. If I can unpause and reach the closed captioning or audio menu, fine, whatever. What really gets my goat is pre-roll and mid-roll ads. Can't stand them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a standard. I don't know how you can make it not be a thing once it is implemented.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Newer versions are Homekit compatible and can be controlled over the local network.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨96% of US Hospital Websites Share Visitor Data with Google, Meta, Data Brokers, and Other Third Parties, Study Finds⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So enough to cross reference with a bazillion other data-brokers online and absolutely pinpoint most people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Me :(

  Running a potato.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought @dansup already committed to blocking federation with Meta. Why does he care if they're shutting him out, too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Big difference between policing actions and policing thoughts. Declaring some thoughts as verboten and subject to punishment or liability is bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some "ideologies" need to be fucking policed

  Someone wants to start with yours, and they have more support than you know. Be careful what you wish for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That means that the government is injecting itself on deciding what "extremist" is. I do not trust them to do that wisely. And even if I did trust them, it is immoral for the state to start categorizing and policing ideologies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy Active Users looking good⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My internet experience has been slower since switching to Mastodon and Lemmy/Kbin. And it's so nice. The things I see are more interesting. The conversations are usually more well thought out. And lowest common denominator dopamine content isn't being driven into my eyeballs by Algorithms. I've legitimately been happier since the Reddit API debacle.

  Long live the Old Internet.
