this thread makes me realize even lemmy users are far up billionaires assholes

Tumblr photography vibes

it’s called an analogy you donkey

yeah they’re still capable cars if you can get over the terrible QA off the line. but like it or not, buying a Tesla these days is almost like making a political statement. it’s just way more annoying to own one these days than something that’s more low profile

you literally described the exact use case for password managers. in security, it’s not about IF you get breached, it’s WHEN and how to recover from it. this includes cloud password managers. you can hack all the data you want from these companies but any reputable password manager company will employ a Zero Trust model where your data is stored encrypted. they can completely upend the company and destroy their whole infrastructure, but they still can’t do shit unless they have your master pass or a time machine.

honestly, if you even buy an Elonmobile these days, it’s kind of embarrassing… people will make fun of you behind your back now because of it and weird Elon bros will approach you. I had so many middle aged Elon bros come up to me and peddle crypto to me while I was charging, it’s crazy. you really really have to be a super moron Elon fan to buy one today

I used to never smoke weed because it was so hard to get it just wasn’t worth the effort. Now that it’s legal and there’s a dispo right there, I always have my weed on me. availability matters.

this reads like a capitalist propaganda leaflet that falls out of the sky for you to read in the 1940s. what if I told you that you can have a functioning society that isn’t predicted on exploitation of labor and doesn’t require you to live like a hermit in the forest. you should read some Adam Smith or some shit if you’re going to talk about labour division and specialization as if it’s a good thing. you can laud it all you want, but Smith is very clear this is a system of masters and labourers where society is built on your masters giving you just enough rent so you can afford to pay another (or even the same) master back while you and the other laborers compete against each other in a labor market while the masters watch. he even warns if you divide too much, you end up with a pile of shit. we’re there now. we’re a pile of shit. nobody wants to work their meaningless job that was sold to them on this capitalist American dream thought up by a bunch of anglos from 1790.

Apple users: buys iPhone for privacy

Apple: all your data belongs to me now

did you even click the link? it says the point literally in the first sentence… lol they don’t want Google training their AI search results with their data and making less incentive to actually click into reddit

what point are you even trying to make here? we know we don’t own the music. if you truly care about DRM issues, then you’re not even on Spotify to begin with. DRM is not the problem with this post. this is specifically software locking previously free features for the sake of increasing shareholder value down the line. say what you will about that, but it does not have anything to do with DRM or ownership…

they won’t. broker industry is in the pockets of beacon Hill and the suits like how they somehow managed to inflate the cost of their house that’s located in an arctic tundra of a state

I’m also on this boat also. moved here from the West Coast and feel completely scammed here in Boston. it’s actually insane too because most of the people here have bought into the completely corrupt politics that have caused the housing market to get to this place. if you ask people here, most will say they prefer Boston housing because of “tenant protections” and that brokers provide an essential service in such an impacted housing market. those guys are fuckin donkeys. the Boston housing market exists on the backs of students who cycle through apartments at a huge rate every year, and the broker industry makes a killing abusing poor college students into paying brokers fees when they move every year. every industry involved in the Boston housing market is in cahoots with this system. they’re all criminals in my view. that on top of the fact a broker came into my apartment without permission to show my apartment and walked into my bathroom while I was showering. I was full nude and the dude waved at me and proceeded to show my bathroom to his clients on clients with me naked in the bathroom. criminals.

most CS “textbooks” are a scam these days I’m general. a huge red flag when I scan resumes now is actually if they have a textbook published without some sort of advanced degree or qualification to write a textbook. I get resumes of people a year out of college, work a junior position, and have a “Advanced JavaScript” or “JavaScript the not boring way” or “Complete guide to typescript” or some other quirky textbook name. if you actually click into any of these books, they’re complete nonsense written by somebody who just copied another textbook from another idiot who knew nothing. all these people are over confident resume padders. in practice they don’t know shit and didn’t legitimately write a lick of the book. I’ve had some of these applicants claim their books are used by professors too.

I think they mean something along the lines of good programmers aren’t big head know-it-alls. they admit when they don’t know something, ask for help, and collaborate as opposed to claiming to be an all knowing monolith software god. we’ve all met those guys at work.

if you’re looking for a legit READING app, KOReader is the only way to go. especially if you have an ereader tablet too that uses KOReader too and/or use Calibre. I moved to it from Kindle + Kindle app on Android and I just have no idea what the purpose of Kindle is anymore unless you buy ebooks directly from Amazon. in which case you should… well… stop.

you don’t need proof when you have ✨faith✨

what did you say? say that again to my face, I dare you.

well what else would you expect it to say when you never practice your elf magic?
