Maybe it is like that yeah.
Looking for an alternative to reddit
Maybe it is like that yeah.
No, but I like it more than China and Russia.
America is addicted to money however, and has a warped idea that working hard is somehow what life is about. But it’s still not close to fascism and there is some accountability still.
It’s cool and all, but I’m surprised it’s not 10% at this point. Microsoft is shitting in their customers mouth and Apple is a luxury brand at this point.
You guys complain but you never actually switch to Linux. :)
If you truly cared about being a technological slave, you would learn Linux tomorrow. But just like someone stuck in a abusive relationship, you hang around despite the horrible treatment because you are afraid to leave what’s comfortable.
Yeah. It can be seriously annoying to have people judge you for who you were once, or maybe never was even. Often other people’s perceptions are not accurate descriptions of who any of us really are.
It’s just life I guess.
You are Hillary Clinton?
Play eve online.
I’m also trying hard to avoid being in the office, even taking pay cuts for it. I can’t sit in a damn office and write code. The stress from trying to block out people moving and talking is exhausting.
I love plasma. It’s no longer even buggy for me, and it’s really fast and beautiful. You know they are doing something right when windows and Mac users are impressed by it.
It doesn’t quite beat mac in terms of looks but it’s just so much more powerful.
This release is super important for Nvidia users to try.
A more cynical take is that they understand very well, but are being compensated by big tech for looking the other way.
Good people often can’t comprehend how evil people work, and they say “everyone makes mistakes”, or “they don’t understand fully”. Because we want to think that everyone is mostly good.
It’s not like that. :/
I’m going in 7 days :)
It’s much more than ads and billboards. That’s not propaganda at all. I would call that advertisements.
What I mean with propaganda is government agencies putting false information to the public and acting like it’s true, for the purpose of swaying an opinion in the direction they choose.
I think a lot of the meme content here is bots as well.
But since most users don’t post anything, it’s better than the alternative.
Hacker news is often interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/
I started looking at summarized hacker news articles in the last month also, I like the format of this:

But sometimes I check Lemmy instead. It’s a lot easier to digest for the brain.
I think most people are not spending enough time reading about propaganda and how it’s used in 2020. Its very effective and people don’t know they have been exposed to it.
We who live in the western world frequently believe propaganda is done by Russia and China but not by our own leaders.
Special plugin operation.
Same with the US.
All that text and not even one mention of what you don’t like with Gnome.
It’s not garbage and if anything, it makes plasma better by being a bit of competition and offering simplicity.
I think it’s more similar to the mac idea of simplicity, but there isn’t much new features.
Yeah that’s true.
