They mean billionaire middleclass.
- Comment on I created a Linux community thats focused on easy customizations for every Linux distro 3 days ago:
If you wanted to make a thread on Unix porn we could share some easy configs for each distro.
But most configs are distro agnostic so it would pretty much just be a config for each desktop environment. Which means it’s basically the same as every Unix porn post.
I think to separate linux beauty from Unix porn Linux beauty could show the beauty of Linux by show casing workflows and nice features instead of being a screenshot of a terminal with fetch. To me the beauty of Linux is navigating through different workspaces, making your computer perfectly tailored to your workflow. Unique setups are the beauty of Linux.
- Comment on The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky 5 days ago:
Lemmy users can subscribe to a community and get tons of posts. I’d have to find 100 people to follow on mastodon to match what a single Lemmy community provides.

How did you find out about Lemmy out of interest?

Flameshot is so good.
- Comment on Google is excited about money! 1 week ago:
When bus cards first came out you could buy things from the dairy with them. Adults quickly realised how stupid that idea. I had friends who spent the entire months bus money on snacks after school then walked 2 hours to get home. They didn’t even complain, it was a good trade in their mind.

Wow I couldn’t think of anything people want less
- Comment on 4chan’s ‘cesspool of the internet’ is down after apparently being hacked 1 week ago:
This is kind of a nothing burger since most users dont register any details. There is no data to be gathered. The real surprise will be how they got compromised.

How come I can’t see the Lemmy comments on your blog?

- Comment on Bots increase online user engagement but stifle meaningful discussion, study shows 1 week ago:
Real humans writing full sentences. Some platforms most of the comments are emojis or reaction gifs.
- Comment on China seeks to 'tariff-proof' economy as trade war with US deepens 2 weeks ago:
Its hard to prepare for such a suicidal action so you can’t blame then for being caught off guard. They will be better off than the US and they will make sure that no country can ever do this again.
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 2 weeks ago:
I thought the average was 7 days for a residential IP and when I searched it up it seemed like the average was 3 days. However I took note of my ip and its still the same as it was 6 days ago. Im now interested to see how long these ips are being leased out for.
If it is longer than a week then I am fully wrong and spamming out your ip is a huge privacy risk.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
Commenting online is fighting the good fight. Online sentiment is shifted by commenting online and online sentiment plays a huge role in influencing the acceptable opinions.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 weeks ago:
My friend was unable to update to windows 11 due to the TPM requirements and looking to switch to linux. I upgraded my CPU and said they should buy my old one. They finally said OK and asked if I could help them install it before they switched to Linux. I installed the CPU and they never switched to Linux because now they have a CPU that meets the TPM requirements.
Windows users really hate change. Microsoft will force them to update and the users will whine but 1 week later they will be used to it then they will stick on windows 11 till EoL.
- Comment on What Eddy Burback got wrong about his phone... [Discussion of Fediverse as an alternative within] 2 weeks ago:
I enjoyed the video but it felt like this was a great hit on a feeling many have and chance present them with legitimate solutions and actually convert people away from an unhealthy relationship with tech.
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 3 weeks ago:
Most people dont have static IPs. All the ads see is web requests from random residential ips from a certain country.

I think we’re far past caring about a website logging an IP address.

- Comment on Can Twitter X control journalists and politicians? The shocking revelation from Musk's Italian trustee gives pause for thought 4 weeks ago:
I’m not familiar with the Italian politicians and their rank in government but it seems normal that a government could collaborate with a platform like X to deanonamize users.
X can track its users. Why anyone thinks they have “privacy” on an app like that is beyond me. The threat to democracy is real but it comes from Xs power to boost/censor to control the narrative which the writer does touch on.
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 4 weeks ago:
Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this
It depends on your instance. There are 3 main tankie instances. Hexbear, Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml my instance blocks the first two but allows the last. This is because ML users are generally not obnoxious and keep their politics within their instances while the other two run wild all over other instances. Personally I dont feel like ML users are that bad. There is right wing lemmy instances but Majority of the instances de federated from them over their disgusting views. I think lemmy does a good job and has the infrastructure in place to promote a healthy range of political views.
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 4 weeks ago:
Whats the complaint? Which community did you post this to? If it was posted to a community on lemmy.ml then its fair for them to remove the post, its their instance and they dont care about these posts. If this was reddit you’d have no where else to go. At least with Lemmy you can post to a community on a sane instance.
Lemmy ML dont like the post because they are in favor of the government snatching people off the street without due process.

This is terrible news. I don’t think anyone can replace Google’s contributions.

Its so vibrant.
- Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server? 4 weeks ago:
If someone exploits a service on the machine they can then connect outside that machine on any port. Ufw would prevent this. The router firewall would also likely prevent this unless they used an open port of the router or upnp was enabled.
- Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server? 4 weeks ago:
Disclaimer, I’m not a network professional im only learning. But you dont need ufw since your router firewall should be able to filter majority of the traffic. But in security there is a concept of layers. You want your router firewall then your device firewall to provide multiple layers incase something slips through one layer.
So to give a simple answer, it depends how secure you want your network to be. Personally I think UFW is easy so you may as well set it up. 5sec of config might stop a hacker traversing your network hoping from device to device.
- Comment on Why Anthropic’s Claude still hasn’t beaten Pokémon 4 weeks ago:
Claude frequently finds itself pointlessly revisiting completed towns, getting stuck in blind corners of the map for extended periods, or fruitlessly talking to the same unhelpful NPC over and over, to cite just a few examples of distinctly sub-human in-game performance.
Claude is just like me fr

Duckduckgo is actually really good. Everyone ive shown it to has complained about the search results in the first few days then months later they say its so much better. Bangs are such a good feature.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah but thats 50% on a bell curve. So think of the average person and that represents 68% of the population. Going 1 standard deviation lower 13% then lower is 2%. Numbers here are generalised*
