People did this to themselves.

Unless we see some kind of regulation, today’s big tech is tomorrow’s big brother.

Yeah I don’t see how anyone can not see it’s Google… Who else is even close to having all our data? All the web searches, mobile android play backend, maps, Google streetcar, etc etc… They know everything.

Good for you and have fun.

I don’t know which people you are talking about, but if it’s adults and you are a kid, then there are some reasons behind that… :)

My kid planned a trip to Croatia with his friends and they managed to book flights that made them spend the entire night at airports, because they wanted the cheapest price.

Counting in that they had to buy airport food and hardly slept at all, and came home wrecked and had to sleep all day, meant that not only did they pay more for the trip than directs flights would have cost, they also lost a day when getting back to sleep and rest…

I mean, it’s fine, but it shows inexperience and unwillingness to listen to adults who may have good ideas… :)

Yes, it has bugs still, specially for widgets and stuff like that. But it’s very stable if you don’t mess around with those things and just use it.

Yes, it never crashes anymore at all for me. Lots of work went into stability and bug fixes in plasma version 6.

So please don’t try it on Debian stable or something. Use the latest version!

It’s really stunning these days, super professional and clean, and really good themes actually too.

I really like being able to disable the mute-sound button on the task icons, since I sometimes misclick on them during meetings… And once I had apparently done that and turned off the sound for slack, so my huddle didn’t have any sound. Took me like 15 mins to find the reason since I thought it had to do with pulseaudio…

What is smart… I mean, most of us Lemmy tech people are good at computers but completely useless and may even despise other activities such as dancing, singing, acting, psychology, and so on.

Never forget that the school system evaluates how good of a worker you can be, not how good of a human you can be. The entire system is just built for economic growth, not your happiness. In fact, you consume more when you are feeling like shit.

A bit of a side note, I know, but it’s all connected to a bigger picture, so…

A lot of damaged people in the world. We are probably all damaged, honestly. But some more than others.

Around 9 years old. Could be some 11 year olds in there.

Coffee shops and pubs when they are cozy and have that atmosphere of life.

This is the algoritm I use at work.

Wise words. Sounds like your heart is fully working.

Like Freedom Fries I guess.

How is the American presidential choice of picking 80 year old sociopath Donald Trump not a thought provoking issue?

But sure. Let’s focus on why Bananas are yellow.

100% agree.

The moderation is completely out of hand. Instead of being happy we have a platform where we can discuss things outside of big tech platforms, we have people who think moderation is more important than letting people express what is on their mind, specially on this day.

Wish I could make the mods be a bit mature here, but probably not.

Whats next, banning people for discussing moderation? I would not be surprised at this point.

I’ve been here from the start so I’m just angry to see this kind of thing here. Whoever mod who did this should look in the mirror and think “is my behavior a plus or a minus for the platform”.

I remember that experience first time and how I had to kill the process from another shell :)

This was before the internet so couldn’t exactly google it either.

Fun times. But I figured it out by reading the man page.

If you dont know how to exit vim, then yes you are…

I have met 2 in real life and they have both been amazing people. Very smart, friendly and sensitive. So far my track record is 100% positive.
