very hot take:

regular people will never get rid of twitter or meta, Facebook. YouTube. it’s incompatible with their psychology.

they need to use what other people are using, they need to see “content” from their followed users

switching to another platform will kill that for them for weeks and stall their “growth”

to be forward thinking and to give up something you’ve had is too much for the average person

which is why I’m on Lemmy: there’s nothing reddit offers to me that makes me “give” it up, it’s always been there but now that there’s competition it’s worth trying something new out

I honestly think id anything Lemmy will have a slow decrease of users until it comes to a halt

what game can’t be ran by a 5800x3D ? if anything I feel like graphic cards are the biggest bottle neck right now

coming up next: Intel fires 25% of their staff, CEO gets a quarterly bonus in the millions

suits don’t give a shit about anything except lining their pockets. part of the job is to say things that get public approval which is often mistaken as them actually caring for said things

there’s a brand I like that sells fast fashion (sue me) with 0 branding on any of their clothing items

I have like a dozen sweaters from them, they aren’t as cheap as they used to be but nothing is now

what has your experience with bpd been like ?

I don’t think I’m very ND but it’s very obvious to me in all social settings that I’m not NT. it’s a variety of things, but typically it’s like people staring straight into your eye balls when you talk to them, or the touching, or things like queueing or pathing to and from a place

it’s definitely free labor for them, they’re incompetent and likely checking notes on how other more competent people would approach deploying in whatever fashion they want to

it was on me to use my real name. at the same time for any online purchase I use my real name so I didn’t give it second thought.

I just thought it was very wrong of them to expose that to friends list. I pick a nickname for a reason, so people see my nickname.

another PSA if you have an Xbox account (even for PC) and have added anyone to friends they get to see your full name, state city. It is very cool to play games while also doxing yourself. thanks Microsoft

I have this pet peeve of loud morning talkers. I don’t know how to explain it but I believe I don’t mind loud talkers in everyday life but I notice it right after waking up.

(Usage of the word talkers over speakers chosen to emphasize the human and not the electronic product)

Comics have always been campy to me. Anime when I grew up felt like a new direction. It did gritty before gritty was cool. The entire aesthetic was new and creative.

The music overshadowed anything western animation (at the time) had. I think the cultural impact made waves and western animation is pretty good now.

Although I consider the two things to be very different.

Word pad the goat of somehow interpreting files as not UTF8

Except it’s not a free operating system. An operating system should fulfill the needs of its users without having to pay for basic functionality: see everyone OS ever that is not w11

You cannot use anything without signing up. You can’t use clip champ which should require 0 Internet connectivity.

They want to act as if linking your account is a prerequisite when it’s neither required or helpful

I’ve heard some YS soundtracks on Spotify they’ve got some nutty bangers

He says the titular line in “I glued my balls to my butthole again”

Inb4 my company follows suit. Just like they want to with IT, AI, Cloud infrastructure (we own our stack almost entirely).

As a long time cs gamer I approve of this change but I warn ye regardless that there is no alternative or viable solution to actually stop cheaters right now.

And if you’ve only heard stories and don’t really experience cs (vac kind of does nothing)

Ive kept track of players for months/years who have not been banned. I find it strange that they eventually do get banned several months after cheating. It took one account nearly 2 years to get banned.

I hope that a clever solution comes out, a man can dream right ?

I’m a bit of a 3-4 pm leaver (always do stuff on schedule)
