I think it’s medical and insulting use are obsolete lmao

So about 25,000 peoples minimum drinking water per day per bouy. Not too bad there.

Or the overall average water usage of ~13.2 people (went with the first number cause I ain’t researching things rn)

Ah, cool, wasn’t really aware of the exact setup with production. I figured that Netflix was probably only the distributor, but I was too lazy to look it up

They renewed Arcane after about 2 episodes.

Plus, Riot’s big enough that even if Netflix doesn’t want it, they could just make it themselves. I’m sure Prime will want it

So my Linux loving friend had their Debian installation nuke itself the other day. They went to boot it up and it just vanished. Completely gone. For zero discernable reason. It worked the night before without issue, it worked for months before that without issue, only to boot up and have everything missing.

All this is to say that using non Microsoft operating systems doesn’t magically make everything better. Everything in computing has issues and there’s no such thing as the perfect system.

Plus, even if Windows was perfect and fully FOSS, you and I both know you and all the other unix people would still hate it. It’s been the same circle jerk since the day unix existed.

Agreed but also fuck teams.

Yeah, cause the rank and file have to work overtime to fix that shit when it breaks

This is a Beehaw post, not Hexbear. Heaxbear is filled with sorry ass tankies

What service was this?

Agreed. I don’t have 90s Internet memories like a lot of here, but I do have some early 2000a Internet memories, which I honestly think was better than the 90s Internet cause we’d worked out a lot of the kinks.

Forums were a great place to chat with people about whatever and in 99% of cases, people were polite enough. People talked about this and that. I and others shared their discoveries in video games on sites like GameFAQs (rest in peace, I put up so many Mario Kart DD tips).

People treated interactive sites like they were neighborhoods. Sure, a ton of drama would pop up, same as any neighborhood, and sometimes that drama made modernTwitter drama seem tame, but it stayed within the community the majority of the time and it either got resolved or ended up killing the site. Either way people got over it and moved on.

Nowadays, just keeping up with memes and drama is a full time job. Just 5 years ago I could stay on top of things, now it feels like what’s funny changes the second I see it, and I’m not even old (I was just on the Internet at way too young). Hell, rage comics and impact memes were a think for over a decade.

Lemmy has so far felt like a nice middle ground between the old days of things lasting more than five minutes and people not just immediately being dicks (as long as you block everything LG and Hexbear) plus modern comforts in technology.

Absolutely not surprised. I’ve had multiple friends that worked Geek Squad. All of them have admitted to snooping at least once and most have said their coworkers did it constantly.

Don’t take your computer to Geek Squad, folks. They’re all untrained highschoolers following a script anyways

I can’t figure out who does more scare tactic advertising - conservative politicians or VPN companies. I swear all of them want you to believe that Russia and China are watching you personally

The visualization is also horrible. Why the hell aren’t the dots aligned with the words?

What? Microsoft added Linux on top of Windows not long ago with the WSL. I severely doubt they’d discontinue proton or Linux and Mac support

They’ve also made Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Legends. Both of which were meh successes.

But honestly when you’ve got a cash cow eternity game like Minecraft, why TF would you need to make anything else?

Gawd dayum those are amazing benefits. Even the cushy government job I interviewed for didn’t have benefits that good

Derry Girls is 10/10. I’m surprised this is the first I’ve seen of it in this thread

Is Casper the low end or is it Irish?

It could go either way

Cause FOSS people are worse than vegans. It’s like Linux users but infinitely worse.

FOSS ≠ better or good. Most of the FOSS Lemmy apps are usability nightmares right now. The only reason I was using jerboa for so long is because sync wasn’t out yet

I meant this more for the Lemmy equivalent of /all

I definitely think it needs something. Right now most of the posts are entirely irrelevant to my interests and my friends that have switched have said the same. A “simple” shared interests algorithm (show posts that people with similar interests engaged with) or something would be great and not inherently predatory
