2·4 days agoI like the toy story themes.
Haha did you see this alread: https://lemmy.world/post/44238448
I was on Ubuntu for like 3 years, a few days ago switched to Debian. I installed Ubuntu because I thought it would “easy” and “just works” and all that. I’m not very computery person, I know some basics but I’m mostly confused about everything.
What I’ve learned from using Debian is I should have just gone for that from the beginning. Its not that different and somehow it feels nicer and more capable. If your Ubuntu keeps giving you grief, try Debian or whatever you think looks nice.
2·6 days agoI would have thought that posting to a English language forum would be done in English… I mean I know it doesn’t say specifically to post in English but I kinda assumed it.
I know we have all sorts of technology these days, but it should be on the OP to do the translation. I’ve noticed on reddit there has been a increase in people commenting on their native language, I asked on person, who was commenting in French, why do they not post in English. Apparently new reddit has a translation feature? I wouldn’t know because I used old.reddit. But anyway, I ended up just ignoring the comment rather than going through the trouble of opening a tab, copy pasting the comment, translating the comment, then writing my own comment and translating that.
Also, lots of translators are pretty shit at translating certain languages, for example my native language is Finnish and every time someone uses a translator to speak Finnish to me, its extremely obvious because its nowhere near correct.
So, to answer your question, yes we do have tech, but it fucks up all the time and its not our job to translate posts by others in a clearly English language forum.
EUUU! (said like a new jersey mafioso says “eyyy”)
Yeah I was specifically talking about how google etc tell me that they are offering me “targeted” ads. Point was, if they knew anything about me, they’d know I’ve been poor as fuck for the last 20 years and should advertise food banks etc to me, instead of the latest Macbook Pro AI Super 2000.
I’ve been watching a lot of Antiques Roadshow clips and I imagined one of the appraisers doing a valuation of your shenanigans.
“You bought this magnificent piece sillyness when and for how much?”
“oh I just copypasted it to my profile for no money at all”
“Well that was very good deal indeed, because on in todays money the entertainment value alone is in the hundreds of pounds.”
Isnt that what Floatplane is? I’m broke so I can’t find out lol
If they actually wanted to show ads targeted to me, first thing they would figure out is if I’m capable of buying their stupid bullshit product. I’m poor as the rat in the church, my monthly budget is literally -50€. I can’t afford to buy anything, what good does it do for advertisers to let me know that they have a new phone that costs 1500€ and is 0,05mm thinner than the previous one?
lol I have no idea if it works, but if I watch a random video, I delete it from the watch history because I fear that if I don’t, the algo will go bonkers. So far it seems to work though lol
The “shorts” platform is pure garbage. Can I turn shorts off? No I can “show fewer shorts”.
Once again the pirate version (revanced) of youtube is better than the actual paid version. Revanced and ublock filter take care of shorts for me. Haven’t seen them in months
You can also just use a ublock filter to block shorts
Anyone know if theres such an app for LG tv’s?
Firefox donations will be solely used for Firefox development
This might be a stupid question… but how much developing does a browser actually need? I get security updates and such but how much resources does that stuff really need? Full disclosure: I’m a dumb lorry driver I have no idea how these things work. Some years ago I realized I hadn’t updated my browser in at least a year, maybe two and I had no issues lol
Oh yeah I just read how AI keeps suggesting nuking everyone. That sounds like a great success. (I get what you mean, I just wanted to be a wiseass)
I’ve been using Librewolf for about a month now, today I ran into the first problem, a website was blank but that fixed itself when I closed the tab and opened it again. I’ve been very happy with it so far. Sad to hear you ran into troubles.
