if you’re community is over an hour old and has nothing on it

lmao

Lemmy has like 1000 people on it, you need to either chill or work on being some sort of ambassador if your want content.

Isn’t that… like… almost the entirety of the purpose of the genre?

Not OP, but just to serve as another data point: mostly just exhaustion. I am a full-time software developer, so I just really don’t want to deal with configurations and set up complex systems at home. That’s why I haven’t gotten into any smart-home stuff, either - I just don’t have the bandwidth to deal with the issues that come along with the space.

I’m not a weirdo, so I don’t. My friends don’t have to buy into my version of wasting time

Ask my future self. Telling my past self something is very likely to have no affect on my life (what if past actions only affect that “me” and not me-me), whereas asking my future self something will always end up with me gaining information - no guarantee its relevant, but it’s more likely to be.

Serious question: did anyone here actually know it was still around? I’m one of the more tech-savvy people I know and haven’t touched ICQ in well over a decade at this point

Thank you for explaining what is literally on the panels

Being right doesn’t make someone any less of an asshole. Walmart is a horrible company and OP sounds like douchebag. Two things can be true at the same time.

What are they doing to stand up to the bullies? They only understand definitive language or actions. If your child is just saying “no, you can’t do that,” nothing will happen. In the past, “standing up to a bully” generally meant breaking their nose.

EDIT: oh, this is about you as an adult, not your children. Good luck, adult bullies have that behavior ingrained in them from decades of training. Avoid them or get them in legal/job trouble, those are your only realistic options.

I was ready to be mad at this, thinking it was too lazy to be in shittymoviedetails… fits well as a shitpost, though 👍

Nah, this is a stupid internet shit-take.

Amazon support was actually great when they first started, and has just slowly slid downhill ever since. They had to start strong, because nobody really trusted online shopping yet. People forget that before Amazon was a handful of sketchy one-off websites and mail-in orders.

Hell, it’s not even “breaking even” - making the same amount of money as last year is considered a failure, even if that number is astronomical.

Very obvious LLM stuff trying to figure out what people consider normal, or where social boundaries are for things like cheating, stealing, lying, etc.

Oh god, I hadn’t thought of that angle. We’re not just teaching bots to detect lies, we’re training them to lie successfully 😱

What are the problems with Razer? I’ve only used their mice, so I honestly don’t even know what else they make

but these seem pretty big

No real way to get a sense of scale from the picture - how big are they?

RECORD LOW PRICES for a product that was released ~6 months ago 🙄 such huge news, what a crazy move by best buy 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Ehhh, I’m actually (surprisingly) gonna disagree here. Obviously there are special cases, where the game worked in EA and had some game-breaking crash on release, but those are the exception and not the norm.

If you paid for EA, that’s 100% on you and I don’t think a refund should be available at all (after the initial time limit, of course). You paid for an unfinished game and that’s exactly what you got. It literally doesn’t matter what the game releases as.

If you played a game with free EA, you know more-or-less what you were getting on release. You know the developer’s communication style and their release cadence, and you’ve literally played the game. I would like to see this time limit extended back to maybe 30m/1hr (it may be different in ways you don’t like), but I don’t see a problem with reducing it if you’ve already experienced parts of the game.

It’s Facebook… They’re 100% going the Windows route so that you can’t turn off all of the data collection that will go straight to them.

I’d say it’s closer to the rule than the exception, but is closer to the middle than either of them.

Yes, a lot of addicts - most, probably - just shift their addiction to something else (hopefully something healthier), but that’s in no way universal.

Add onto that… the waters get real muddy when you start defining addiction. Is it still addiction if it’s good for you? Like, if I can’t get through a week without some celery, would people even call me an addict? If I can’t start my day without a run, would anyone ever think to say I have a problem?

is it because it’s not a lemmy instance?

Wait, then what is it?
