I’ll do what I always do: sigh and add another brand to my “do not buy from” list on my pocket notebook, which was meant to be a single page and is now filling three

This comment thread is not only a perfect example of a joke, but it gets to the core of what humour truly is! Do you want help crafting a poster for you to present your jokes at a conference?

Don’t worry, Lemmy censors security information and passwords automatically, see: ******

to ubiquitous shit-shoveling malware appliances controlled by some of the worst elements of society.

Hmmm, I wonder which background economical system we all live in that could explain why every single technology ends up controlled by the top 1% to make our lives more miserable and their profits higher…

Won’t that just lead to 5 of every topic?

That happens on Reddit even with singular communities. Sure, maybe some topics will come up multiple times.

Also what do you do find new duplicate communities if there were only 4 when you went looking?

Browse the All feed. See a post you like? Check the community. Not subscribed? Subscribe. Simple.

The solution is to not treat communities like official and unique subreddits.

On Reddit there’s the PCGaming subreddit. On Lemmy there are more than five. Subscribe to all, or the most active ones, or the ones you align yourself better with… And that’s it, there’s no need to be concerned about which individual post goes on which individual community for a topic, it will federate and others will read it just fine.

Let’s make Debian or Arch just work

Wonder why that’s extremely rare on ARM devices, especially those with modems, and rarely works beyond proof of concepts on some very specific devices? Its not like you’re the first to have this idea.

I’ll use my de-Googled and update-blocked S23 until it’s physically unable to boot up, and hopefully by then I’ll find something that can run this OS, assuming it’s ready

How many months away are we from Windows requiring a subscription to use, with a cheaper version for the OS + Office and a more expensive that also bundles AI?

I want wires everywhere I don’t care fuck wireless signals give me wired headphones, controllers, networks

Me and my homies hate antennas

While I agree older generations are always complaining about the habits of newers ones, always dooming everything, and that progress is good and unavoidable…

…I honestly do think we should sometimes sit down and re-evaluate if older habits have a place and if their criticism can bring some truth. I’ve been moving away from the hyper-connected and convenient modernity we live in and adopting older habits like writing my notes with paper and pen, under a candle light, and it’s honestly been fantastic for me, just as an example.

Halo is long dead. The brand name is the one thing left.

That really does not address my concerns, not one bit.

Let’s collectively fund an island where we can host Signal, Tor nodes and ThePirateBay in international waters.

While I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, it’s amazing how self-destructive this is. Greta is an internationally famous activist. Flagrantly violating and abusing a person with world renown - along with dozens of other activists - is a radically stupid way to hasten international isolation.

You’d be correct most of the time, but this is Israel we are talking about. They know there won’t be any consequences because claiming they did something wrong must mean you’re a nazi, and even if you get over that, daddy USA is there to protect them anyway.

Israel could livestream a soldier killing Greta and they would face no consequences whatsoever.

There are classical, “best of all time”, titles that an anime lover like you would defintely enjoy. They’re not available on Crunchyroll, they’re not on Amazon Prime, Netflix, you can’t purchase a copy. A few had selected censored releases in VHS, good luck hunting them down.

The thing with piracy is that it’s not just a money saving trick used by teenagers, it’s also the only way to truly watch the media you enjoy regardless of what some media conglomerate thinks - they no longer get to define how, when and what you’re going to watch. You have to do a bit of setup once… yes that sucks, but from that point onwards, you’re free.

I don’t understand why society accepted that the hardware maker gets to decide what software you run.

That’d be like your car deciding which roads you can take, or your blender deciding you’re not allowed to use strawberries in your smoothie.

Are you nuts? Why the fuck would your phone decide which apps you can run?

Wouldn’t really matter in a federated network like this. Mods banned you from a community? Make a new one. Account banned? Move to another instance.

There’s zero reason to feel attached to online accounts like these, which is the only thing you can lose on Lemmy.
