So you broke the law AND made sure to be a dick

So Italy is going to block all VPNs, then?

I’m so sorry you needed eggs

Yeah, I have an anti fingerprint extension installed in Firefox, and immediately no Google site will work anymore, all google sessions break with it while most other sites just continue to work.

I’m working to rid myself completely from Google, my target being that I will completely DNS block all google (and Microsoft and Facebook) domains within a year or so. Wish I could do it faster but I only have a few hours per weekend for this

No.

I’ve seen a lot of these complaints and it’s never about just a woman being in media. acting as if it is, is disingenuous and plain lying

People complain when changes are made for bullshit reasons, like virtue signalling. The problem becomes that a mobile company just switches someone’s race to whatever is darker, they’ll switch a character from male to female, and tadaaaahhh, we have a great product now, so let’s cut investments in writing, good actors, food producers and the end result it shit, yet we’re supposed to somehow cheer it because the main character is now an <insert minority group>

Take Ariel, the mermaid. The character who was known to be white with red hair was swapped to a black actress and the resulting product was shit. It ws shit not because of the character being black, but because the movie was a cheap cash grab using virtue signalling to make people care.

It can be done right when, you know, its not done for virtue signalling. Take battlestar Galactica. Starbuck was change to a woman and holy crap, did they kick it out of the park. The actress was awesome, the writing (mostly) was awesome, the production was awesome.

Too many times I’ve been told that some movie must be great because it’s against patriarchy and its just dog shit. If you want to “battle the patriarchy” then just make a good damn movie or show, I’ll watch it. I will NOT waste my time watching a shitshow just because “it has more women in it!!” I don’t care, just make it good

To be fair, most never could. I’ve been hiring junior devs for decades now, and all the ones straight out of university barely had any coding skills .

Its why I stopped looking at where they studied, I always first check their hobbies. if one of the hobbies is something nerdy and useless, tinkering with a raspberry or something, that indicates to me it’s someone who loves coding and probably is already reasonably good at it

And what is the problem with that?

I mean, it sounds as if that is a bad thing that people are dedicating their free time at the betterment of something that can be used freely by everyone, including you

If you want others (different color, sex, gender, race, abilities, sexual preferences) to have a bigger part of that pie, then have more of them jump in.

I am guessing that most of the greybeards are here doing this because they can, abs like it. Help others to he able to help out

I left 2 years ago from my 13yo account, deleted everything as well

Obligatory Fuck You spez

No regrets, I love Lemmy

And has been so for over a decade at least, probably two

Apple never was, and never will be not an evil company so why the surprise? Of course they do.

Restrict Google from doing business.in the country altogether.

Have phones switch to some open non Google platform

Fuck google, microsoft, apple, they’re all evil at this point

Oh yeah, I too hate Hitler only because of Schindlers list. I grew up in Europe in the 80s and there is absolutely no other reason than that movie why we should hate him, really! The guy could do no wrong, he even loved dogs! Hell, he even painted! Bos Ross paints too, why would you hate Bob Ross? Don’t hate Hitler, he’s like Bob Ross!

I feel like I need to shower and apologize to Bob after writing this.

Because Elmo musk out it there, I presume? He is, after all, a neo nazi and he loves pointing at nazi stuff sooooo…

How about YAY!?

We need more smaller brands, not less bigger brands. It ALWAYS without exception leads to a destination where consumers get screwed.

I celebrate this failure, let them compete and let more smaller brands pop up, please

Eh, no, still hard no.

Just because one evil becomes a bigger evil that doesn’t mean we should just use the other evil

Its going to be interesting to see how I can degoogle my phone

I’ve already stopped using search nearly a decade ago, I only still had a storage subscription (and with that, YouTube premium) which I just now stopped.

The only service I’m still interested in is YouTube because of the content, the rest can die in a fire, I’m going full self hosting

YouTube has revance, right?

What’s the best non Google OS for a phone? I have a OnePlus 12

Yeah Google, wait, wait, I’m leaving already, I’ve already stopped my storage subscription, but gimme a second pleaase, stop pushing me away that hard!

Do you have any experience installing only office?

I’ve tried installing it many times over the past decade with only one successful attempt about a decade ago.

Every few years I try to install it again and fail

I’m trying to install it now but again, nothing. I’ve tried installing it using the official scripts which wreck the operating system. Dame for using the official debs.

So I tried using the docker version and that just doesn’t do anything at all. I try opening the page on the right port and it connects and disconnects immediately.

I’ve used only office and it’s awesome. However, nothing is as hard to install as onlyofffice

And yet again: install Linux. I’ve been a happy lojix desktop user forever 2 decades now. Linux was ready for normal users 10 years ago, it was more than ready 5 years ago, and it is definitely beyond ready today

Ah so he’s again going to pay twice the amount of what it’s worth to then run of off a cliff and make it worth 20% of it’s real value within a years time?

Seriously, why do people still believe anything this scammer says?
