I have no sympathy for GAFAM, but Mozilla sucks even more and you can’t convince me otherwise.

This is a very sensible take.

No, thanks. I’ll keep using password+2FA and I hope that passkeys never become “mandatory”.

Not everything is black or white, my friend. Some people don’t have a car, some have a car and use it unnecessarily, some other use it moderately and so on…

- Comment on Bad people and bullies usually have justified reasons for why they are doing bad things, so instead of blaming them, maybe sympathize with them. 2 weeks ago:
Little bullies have spoiled 4 years of school for my son, which was 6-10 y/o back then. They’ve been beating and insulting him without any reason at all and stealing his stuff. Obviously he had to move to a different school. Bullies are still there, because poor guys…
Fuck them. I don’t care about their personal/familiar situation and no way I’m going to sympathize with them.

They can post whatever they want. I’m just here, hating it.

I perdo6ate those posts with the “you should…” part. Let people use whatever they want.

Because they want to. Just a wild guess.

Well, he’s right. Most likely you’re “wasting” energy and water as well, just in a different manner.

Don’t stop training, don’t eat shitty food (at least, not daily), don’t believe anything you hear or read and always double check it.

I do.

No, there’s a very generous free tier on CF.
- Comment on Cause and Effect 1 month ago:
I think it’s more about keeping yourself curious and reading stuff form reliable sources than actually getting a degree, which makes little sense. (I’m a physicist, and I’m totally ignorant about physiology, for instance, so I have to trust “people who know”, and these aren’t usually found on crappy YT or TikTok videos).

I’ll save this quote for my students. Amazing.

I deleted my Amazon account around 2007, when I discovered how they treat their workers. Never looked back. Fuck Amazon.

- Comment on Microsoft is testing full-screen Microsoft 365 ads in Windows 11 for expired subscriptions 2 months ago:
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted
Because people here can’t get their heads out if their asses. By the way, nobody needs a “legitimate reason” to choose a given software instead of a different one and even less needs to justify their choice to strangers on the internet.

For some reason it slows down to a lot, to the point of being unusable, with many slides full of equations and also crashed on me a couple of times, so no. And I’m pretty sure my OS and hardware are fine. PowerPoint also may suffer a bit but it’s still usable (although it takes many seconds to save a file, in this scenario).
- Comment on Microsoft is testing full-screen Microsoft 365 ads in Windows 11 for expired subscriptions 2 months ago:
None of these support equations in presentations adequately, for instance, something which is crucial for my job. And LaTeX and beamer are extremely time consuming for presentations (even if LaTeX is perfectly fine for long text/articles).

With due respect, no. Office suites on Linux aren’t on par with MS Office yet (and the latter sucks a lot, but not for the lack of features).

Plenty of these on Lemmy.
