One last joke played on the colonizers invading them

When I was young, people (read: other kids) would accuse me of being pretentious for using vocab words. I learned to dull down my speech to please them, and lost most of my vocabulary in the process. Now i talk nurmal lik ery1 else

Bitwarden. Hands down the best decision I made in regards to web safety was switching to a proper password manager.

Close second is uBlock Origin.

Also make sure to use DecentralEyes for easy enhanced privacy.

I use NoScript, but that level of granular control isn’t everyone’s cup of tea

Oh god, you probably got the gonocacococcus

Don’t forget that it’s split up between 20 or more services that all cost $12-15 now.

So they’ll market it to you as 4,000 shows and 2,000 movies or 80,000 hours of content (or whatever number/metric) for just $12, but it’ll really turn into $80+/month for the 2 shows and 4 movies you’d actually enjoyed that month and hundreds of hours wasted on subpar content to justify renting instead of just buying said shows and movies (if you even can anymore). Then you’ll binge them again the next time you have a sick day or are feeling burnt out because they were the things that were good enough to take your mind off life, further narrowing the price gap between renting/streaming and buying

So basically exactly like the “Premium” cable packages that came with the 2 channels, each with 2-3 shows, that you actually cared about per package.

No, don’t stop building

If we’re talking about dreaming, I’d like a world where humans keep to relatively small and dense habitable areas anf leave the rest of the natural world alone

It’s terrible for secure/private communications, it requires hacks that violate the TOS and EULA to modify the client to get rid of ads and change themes, it’s not FOSS, and it locks features behind a paywall…

But it does what skype already did, so I’m glad we all have to migrate to the new fad site that strips even more of our dignity and privacy every 10 years that’ll die anyway because it offers nothing and has a terrible business model.

The original version constantly behaves differently at runtime

It actually doesn’t, since rand() is deterministic.

When no seed value is specified, rand() is automatically seeded with 1 at the initial call within any program It then uses the previous output as seed for the next, so it will always have the same output sequence

A lot of these replies have high hopes for 5 year olds

I’m begging developers to stop.

The problem isn’t “not enough houses,” the problem is rich fuck “investors” buying up all the empty houses to sit on them

I’ve know people in my life who put less mental effort into living their lives than LLMs put into crafting the most convincing lies you’ve ever read

Gods damn that sounds lovely

Companies in any city when a square millimeter of building isn’t covered in advertisements

I love how you can tell this was edited by the first dude to pat themself on the back for disliking something benign, and then OP’s comments prove that’s the case

That’s funny, that’s what drew me to lemmy before the reddit exodus even happened.

Love how my identity is just wrapped up in the implicit category of “annoying political talking point”

OP, please title your posts something more descriptive/creative. This isn’t facebook, and someone might want to search for this pic at some point in the future

One day, you too will be old and understand that kids aren’t always blameless and treated terribly, and you’ll see your peers whom you know to be good parents being treated terribly by their kids, and you won’t look back on this moment because you’ll have had hundreds of thousands of more important life experiences… But you will have an interaction like ours from the other side, and you will be hit with a strong and deep sadness that extends far into the future.

If you’re lucky, they’ll apologize for saying something so devoid of empathy for the people who actually have to deal with the damage caused in favor of a hypothetical person who was hurt by them. But most likely they’ll double down, because they’re 14-25, and the only thing more important than being right at that age is proving that age doesn’t matter
