  • God, screw this stupid roadblock of a nuisance. I have to go through this piece of shit everytime I need to log-in to my bank account's app. Sometimes it'd even fail and I won't go through. Even if I did go through, I have to double-verify anyways! I'm so over this stupid era of verifying yourself multiple times.

  • "hey this is my work, what's it doing here"

    Uh so other people can discover your work which therefor, should be an inspiration for you as an artist, to keep going? Duh. Would you have rather it be lost to the sands of time and nobody to know you and what you done so you can be a nobody?

    I mean in the past when torrenting was new and very white hot, some artists actually torrented their works and got discovered that way. It was a badge of honor.

  • [META] What actually constitutes "mildly infuriating" content?

    Jump

  • There's even politically-related and news-related posts there too!

    Some people just simply don't care and refuse to actually read that they just contaminate instances with unrelated posts.

  • I remember having made 3 reports of some news-related articles that got posted here on another account because they didn't belong.

    And guess what? Those reports were shot down and the posts remained. So some mod here seems to believe that it's okay to try and turn this instance into yet another news-related outlet, not like we have several dozen of them already.

  • What is the most relieving thing you've done for yourself?

  • TikTok has quickly earned a negative reputation to the things you've already listed off as having manufactured narratives. That platform alone has bred generations of people now who possess attention spans like a fly and believe nearly anything that's on it like gospel.

    The sooner you're off it, the better.

  • That's what I do with my job. PPTO, PTO and even a points-system exist primarily for when you want or need time off. I use it all the time. Sure, it'd be nice and awesome to save up the PTO and get that nice juicy bonus after a year (applicable with where I work). However, sometimes, the job itself doesn't encourage you to be at your best at all times, it can be a grind and vice versa.

    Fuck anyone who frowns on those that prioritize work/life balances. Because it's clear as day, what working hard and selfless for the sake of the company does for you when you get fucked over anyways.

  • Legendary game designer, programmer, Space Invaders champion, and LGBTQ trailblazer Rebecca Heineman has died

  • Had a sad feeling that when she was trying to get a gofundme going, that she was on her last legs.

    RIP.

  • Which social-media ranking algorithms do you know, and which one do you prefer?

    Jump

  • I think ranking algorithms are a disease of social media. I prefer none of them because all they do is just yank you around.

  • Microsoft has blocked Massgrave's KMS38 activation method for Windows

    Jump

  • They can do that but I'm sure there are workarounds. I just briefly did a google search on 'Windows activation workarounds' and I already see some methods and people talking of them.

    So again, Microsoft can fuck themselves.

  • Old post, but this toxicity is a reminder of why reddit sucks.

    Jump

  • What would also greatly help too, is for moderators and admins to have some balls and neutralize said trolls instead of sometimes letting situations play itself out.

    Furthermore, I believe that if moderation is as skeletal as some communities tend to be, it is time to put the power back into the user. I have seen wonderful features and mechanics in place, the problem is, is that those features are spread about in various platforms/sites. Like Gaia Online, old as fuck avatar site, allows you to lock your own threads. Imagine how useful that would be and yes it can be exploited but then that's when a mod/admin can come in and decide to deal with a user who'll make shitty posts only to lock them.

    The Fediverse's weakness is that when you block someone, you can still see that they can reply to you, even if you don't see them. The notification can still register them as anyone else who responds.

    I just think with more tools available for users to fend for themselves that aren't having to always go to the mods/admin or having to mass-report in the off-chance a troll deletes their account to come back and do it all again. With more tools, it would try to help make communities more positive than seeing how long they can endure.

  • Is Android really the next big desktop operating system?

  • They had it right for a while when you could install Linux on them, but Google decided we couldn't have nice things and ruined that.

  • YSK that Sheriff Joe Arpaio is the most dangerous law enforcement official in the United States. He is called "America's Toughest Sheriff"

  • Eh he's 93, he'll rest in piss anytime now.

  • After seeing how Chromebooks were, which were treated as just Android-like OSes in laptop shelling. Absolutely not.

    Why is bicycle riding so controversial in America?

    Jump

  • Dude, I've found car drivers far more aggravating than bicyclists. The most a bicyclist has ever annoyed me is when they don't make their presence known enough. I just happen to sometimes, find them near seconds of almost hitting them and I hate that. When I rode bikes, I tried having devices or things that make my bike have features a car would, even turn signaling.

    But drivers? The level of entitlement and selfishness of a driver is off the charts.

  • I end up sometimes giving up on having the thing. Because sometimes it's an effect of just feeling personal greed.

    But I will almost never give in and pay for the thing. Some things out there, aren't worth the price and even if the price was right, it's not worth the support.

    Like Microsoft, I've not paid for a single Windows OS in my entire life. I've always gotten Windows second hand or buying machines off from people who happen to have the latest Windows on it.

    Adobe, haven't paid a single penny for their Photoshop program, kept pirating.

    Part of pirating is just wheeling and patience. You will eventually, one day, get what you seek.

  • Is capitalism or consumerism at fault?

    Jump

  • I see it as 25/75.

    25% you can say that the reason capitalism is getting away with more than it should, is because consumers are buying at the ridiculous prices.

    75% though, is capitalism deceiving and scheming the ways possible to get people to bite.

  • Yes, a mess indeed, Amy. What the fuck is this stupid good at that doesn't constitute a mess? He's a legal nightmare, I'm having a hard time figuring out a single thing him and his administration has done that didn't immediately or later, break some kind of law.
