I’m not sure, but I think part of the problem is that the votes are “real”. Since every instance has to have the same number of up/down votes they can’t get away with fudging the numbers. I have no hard evidence that reddit does, but I suspect they do to increase engagement.

It’s been a pleasure knowing you DumbKid.

Saturday night special is my favorite one to bring up to the “fans”. Like I can see how you don’t necessarily get the others, but how anybody can hear “a handgun is made for killing, ain’t no good for nothing else, so why don’t we take our handguns and throw them to the bottom of the sea” and think that this guy is just another good ol boy is beyond me.

I’m always down for a femboy bbq

Brother is my current second favorite major brand. They are breaking a lot more than they used to and the parts that break aren’t worth replacing. Canon is putting out alright printers that seem a bit more robust to me. But honestly if you just put in the money up front even hp isn’t total trash. To get a not trash hp will cost $400, and there’s no guarantee that it won’t get a firmware update that makes it impossible to use third party ink, but it won’t require hpsmart and make you want to kill yourself. So yeah, spend more on your printer, don’t get an hp, and if you’re not gonna spend more on your printer get a black and white laser Canon imo.

Actually you meant compliance, security has other random stuff. /s

If this was about data collection on users I’d agree, but the UK government is saying “remove encryption on private messages”. That only increases the ability to harvest data

I’ve seen a ton of people saying the new season is bad and I just want to put out there that I think it’s pretty good.

I don’t think bender is hitting the mark like he did in the first couple seasons, but the other characters are doing great. And let’s be honest, bender has been overused for a long time. I think people have built up Futurama to some god-like show that never had a dud joke, but half of them have always missed the mark and the other half have always been amazing. I don’t think this season or this episode are any different.

The first episode made fun of their new network which I saw a lot of complaining over, but it’s what they’ve done for the first episode of every reboot.

The second episode was pretty good (though I think the weakest of the three).

This episode was filled with clevar jokes. The premise alone was great, their excuse for why this was happening was hysterical, and the interactions felt right - like it hadn’t been 10 years since they were together.

Mother night hit me like a truck. I was in a rough place when I read it, but it’s the only book that’s ever made me break down crying at the end. Ironically it might be the only Vonnegut that can’t be described as scifi though

… except for the doors of stone

I can see it going either way. I think it’s gonna come down to apple and Google getting on board. If they adopt tap to pay with this system vendors will have less incentive to accept credit card fees. If they don’t, it won’t become ubiquitous enough for any store to get away with not allowing it and consumers will look out for their own interest to keep taking the credit benefits. (I realize collective action would make that argument void, I doubt true collective action is possible in any senecio.)

That said, I cannot see a world where the banks let it get that far. This system relies on the banks cooperation and it wouldn’t be the first time they bought a law.

You could also just install Firefox on your Android. That may not work in the future, but it will continue to work for now

Your username growing into this sentiment is exactly how I feel. I was super pissed a couple weeks ago, now it’s just meh, not my pile of shit to deal with anymore.

I mean if Lemmy collapses yeah… Otherwise this is the best place to kill time on my phone. I don’t want to be bombarded with ads and I like having a simple UI, I’m not willing to lose those things if I can find a viable alternative, but I prefer not needing to find one of I can.

I respect that a lot of people are here out of protest, I’m just here because it’s the preferable user experience given my tastes.

I’m still on reddit on the computer. The app and site both suck on mobile now, but RES is still kicking and until they kill it it’s still the best way to kill down time at work
