Similar to the crypto hype. Adoption is imminent, bro. Just a few more months, bro. Please, bro

Did this Microsoft tactic ever work in their favour? Forcing people to use things they don't like? Internet Explorer, Edge, Bing Search, AI and so on. I think it's not a long-term success story. Also, why focus on tool usage instead of actual goals.

TL;DR 640x480

This should be illegal. We had webcams like this 20 years ago. But Nintendo customers seem to enjoy outdated hardware. It's a tradition at this point

I personally try to reverse smartphone usage. Got myself a dumbphone and try to use a computer for everything else. The reasoning behind this is, I want it to be a conscious decision to do internet things at a defined physical place, instead of mindlessly using the smartphone everywhere. This should encourage me to reconnect to the world around me.

I'm still in a transition phase though.

That's an excellent idea, particularly because that service would use AI against the type of people who typically shill or welcome AI products. Let's build more of those.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is a cute nickname for what is in fact a concentration camp. Media should stop sugar coating that with euphemisms

This is a train wreck from beginning to end, with only one winner: Trump.

It was stupid to call for an impeachment vote in the first place, because it had zero chance to succeed. It's quite lame as a symbolic gesture too, because a failure is a failure in the books no matter what the intentions are. And you put your own party members in a position where they can only lose either way. This is terrible from a political strategy standpoint unless your explicit goal is to divide the party, which in turn weakens the party even more. A sad and unnecessary shit show all the way. The only hope left is that Trump dies laughing.

This might be the wrong place to ask. But anyway, can someone please explain the difference between Lemmy and PieFed to me? I've searched a bit and it seems that both are doing roughly the same thing, but with a different fediverse protocol or something?

Why am I even reading that? It's just more of the same vile shit to distract from the real issues. It's all the same and it always begins by giving me an "option" to "customise my cookie choices". Hell, I already feel conditioned to a hopeful longing that, on the next popup page i'll be allowed to “reject all" to finally be able to consume the meaningless depictions of hate and stupidity.

Sorry for the rant.

Taking a bath in style

 
 

I'm looking for a way to filter by text in Jerboa, for example hide every post if the title starts with "Trump“

Don't know if I just can't find it or if it doesn't exist. If it's the latter, this would be a welcome addition.

Hi, I'm using Jerboa in List mode and I recently noticed that posts are marked as read simply by scrolling by. I feel that might be a reasonable change for Card mode, but an entry in a List should not count as read unless it was opened. Or am I doing something wrong?
