I like most fast food to be honest, they're I would guess engineered to taste good. But I seldom eat it though, because of health reasons, and it's become kinda expensive to eat bad good. For the same price, I can go to a local restaurant and have a good quality lunch.

Not to be rude or anything, but it sounds like you've got an unhealthy relationship with social media. I still use reddit for the subreddits I'm interested in, I don't read other subreddits anymore just because the content is bad. Like I don't care about what reddit does or what Lemmy does, if I don't enjoy it, I'll leave, it's that simple.

You don't have to commit to anything, you are also allowed to enjoy the communities of reddit, even if you feel like Reddit did you wrong. It's not worth spending your energy on something you can't control. Reddit is shit, that is the only reason why I only check in once a week or something, and to be frank those communities are dying if they aren't already dead.

For me it's only about if I enjoy it and that includes how it's being run. But anyways things tend to become bad when they grow large, I will probably spend less time with Lemmy when it has become bigger. And then I'll have find another social media platform.

Yeah the guy is a scam artist, of course he has a new scam, where he sells user information and you get a small percentage of it. Or he decides what ads are being shown and you get a small single digit percentage of that.

What a lazy article, in other words there are no reasons to run debian on wsl.

If you want to save resources then you would argue for something more barebones, and your article would contain a bunch of optimizations for someone with a resource constrained computer. But you won't cuz you're lazy.

I don't think you're allowed to physically attack anyone at all, could be wrong though. Except in sports, any sport.

Sure but when they actively decide to break the law and the rights of millions people, they are criminals or part of a criminal Enterprise and you should be on trail. The people in position of power, choose to break the law because of profit motivation, of course they shouldn't keep the money because it was made illegally.

Why would they care about the consequences of fines, when they themselves don't have to pay it, they can just cash out and not lose a cent, its the company that gets fined.

Fuck em, they should face several years of prison and lose the right to run a business or having a position of power, for gross violations of human rights and shouldn't be trusted to hold power.

What stops Nvidia, intel or whatever to build the same kind of privacy violating technology directly in the hardware. I don't even know how our phones are even allowed to collect all the data that they do, what are you going to do in the future when every piece of electronics you buy, is collecting data. You wouldn't even need internet, they'll just send it to the nearest 5g tower.

In 5 - 10 years, we'll live in the era of mass surveillance (for your safety of course). AI combined with all the data available, will make the world a living hell for regular people. 1984 will no longer be science fiction, because we elect self serving clowns, total morons that aren't capable of doing anything because they are starstruck by rich people and tech bros.

I always wonder, how you can be fined hundreds of millions of dollars for breaking a law or multiple, but no one will go to prison. How is it not a serious crime to break peoples right to privacy and personal integrity on a massive scale like that.

If no one is jailed for doing it, it will never stopped they will just try to lobby to change the laws. They knowingly are breaking the law, but it's only fines so they don't give a shit, because they are also lobbying to change those laws...

What a bunch of idiots for politicians, they let these corporation walk all over our rights.

Well, all developers give each other ptsd, never seen a clean code base in my career. They all turn to shit, because 90% developers don't care, because it will be someone else's problem later.

That said, yeah don't do weird custom code, where you have to keep context in your head to understand the code.

Don't live in the US, but in Sweden almost all WCs are gender neutral.

But the scenario is a cis gender male, walking in to a bathroom where he doesn't belong. And you ask what is stopping him, well in the world where someone is asking you what gender you are, to allow you to go the bathroom; I guess that will be stopping you.

It's a made up scenario

Yeah I agree that hooking up with Putin is fucked, so Israel can get fucked too right?

How about it's not your fault that there isn't a alternative to a more eco friendly product, because it's the politicians fault, we elect politician's and they have almost all of them a green Policy. But that's just on paper, they will really never do anything that hurt the economy and corporate profit. We vote on policy and they won't implement it, the only thing you are responsible for is holding your politicians to account, but yeah keep blaming yourself for the shit that you have no control over and live in apathy
