I think it’s pressure to try to get him to pull out of deals with Chinese memory manufacturers.

It isn’t going to work though. The industry is too fucked right now and apple needs to partner with Chinese memory manufacturers if they want to produce hardware this year.

No way, not my buddy!

The world’s first opt-in computer worm. 🐛 🪱

Wouldn’t it be better to just make downvotes clamp to zero?

I get not liking the rat race of up vs down votes, but the scoring is designed to help spam prevention itself.

It will still show the channel in search results, which really sucks if they’re a prominent channel in a specific field.

I find it so crazy that there’s no “Ignore this channel” feature on Youtube.

Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to prevent people from blocking or ignoring channels they hate?

The Sally Bowles Effect

Used products in Japan are generally stupidly cheap. Something about the culture makes it so that people generally look at old devices as worthless and non-new devices are occasionally shunned.

Anyway, good write up and grats on the PSP. Good luck with the next one too.

Amazing how the party of “freedom” chooses to ignore the nazi obsession of the shooter and instead focus on the gender identity of the shooter. How very “woke” of them.

However, let’s be real here, they just want to make us all mad about this. They wouldn’t go through with this as they don’t really have the means to do it on a federal level. This is the issue with governance by trolling; It’s pretty weak once you realize most of it is dog and pony show nonsense.

Regardless, let’s all stand along the transgender community and call this shit out as it is: News manipulation to make a minority feel further unwelcome and create fear mongering around the misunderstood.

Excluding the fact that banning something only serve to make a less safe black market thrive be it drug, liquor, sex or gambling

They probably want the black market for gender affirming hormone therapy to be a dependency, as that means they’ll be in control of the goods and prices. They also have a history of trying to extort the transgender community to force them into work as sex workers, see Epstein emails for context on this.

Bad Bunny lives rent free in Republicans heads. I really don’t get it, them making a big deal out of it is only making them look stupider tbqh. And they don’t need that, they’re already stupid enough. They might jump the stupid shark at this rate.

The two worst actors and actresses in the show too, tbqh. Chacotay couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag.

At least Picardo is loudly and proudly anti trump and seems like a good person from what I’ve heard.

I have nothing to hide

Until the wrong person gets in power, and then you do have something to hide.

That’s generally how I feel about it.

Let me ask you this way, why use lemmy at all if email forums are perfectly legitimate ways of communication? You could be on a mailing list right now, so why is activitypub even important?

Even 2FA, I mostly don’t use email anymore in favor of other more secure 2FA methods.

School, beats me, bit work is mostly chat based these days imo with slack. Granted, I do have email for invoices, but I was mostly talking about email as a communication tool, not a document management system. I’d be perfectly fine with sending people cloud links to Google drive if they accepted it.

Job uses slack, rocketchat or discord. I have a work email that is so separate from personal email that it basically doesn’t count (because there’s no spam there.) HOA and Bank sends old fashioned mail, and also isn’t critical to me as I have websites for both. Receipts I wouldn’t really consider communication, but even then most receipts I save personally.

Seriously, email is kind of old fashioned and isn’t really used for communication between real people. You can see how most of what you’re talking about is effectively “documents” and not real communication right?

Most I use email for discussion in 2025 is mailing lists but those are usually for old phogey FOSS projects.

You’re telling me you use email for anything other than spam? By all means, give an example. Personally, when I talk to friends or family, I never use their email address, I just add them to signal or get their phone number…

Uh, I was going to graduate from highschool in a year and Obama was running and we were all pumped for Medicare for all (you can guess how that went)

Overall it was a good year but mired with a lot of negatives. The economy crashed, college tuition went skyhigh and cost of living went up like crazy. I was lucky to have family to help support me through that period, though family has also been the only thing keeping me together the last 10 years as well so I suppose it isn’t that different. As a 17 year old at the time, I didn’t care too much.

The internet was much more hopeful and diverse back then. Explaining to people how different the Internet is now compared to 20 years ago is extremely humbling but also incredibly concerning. It feels like we’ve failed to teach the next generation how to approach the internet.

Definitely

Millennial here, this line still lives rent free in my head. That shit is legitimately good as a lyric because of it lol
