Ironic

cool

I’m usually a shut-in due to my studies so to spice things up I go out and chat with strangers and become friends. I never talk to them again though so they just leave. After a few months I go out again and the cycle continues. Keeps me down to earth. Keeps me sane.

All the listed options are nice but if you are looking for something more portable and doesn’t require any installing, I recommend PairDrop.

I check and update them whenever I can. There is no reason not to.

Agreed. This is the only reason (besides the built-in fake VPN) OperaGX is popular. All browsers have pretty much the same feature set. OperaGX’s biggest strength is CSS customization, Firefox’s biggest strength is extensions, Edge’s is being the Windows default and Chrome’s is it’s image of “fast and secure browsing”.

All Firefox needs to be is a jack of all trades. But still prioritize it’s main distinction.

I think they do look alike.

The guy in the thumbnail looks like Steve Jobs.

Somebody let out their dogs, no?

Sometimes I wish there were awards on Lemmy

What do you mean by that?

Literally teach them how to! When I deem them mature enough, of course.

Of course, there’s the chance that they don’t like tech.

I’m pretty confident that they will. If I get to raise the kid as I see fit. But you know I’m not expecting them to be a hobbyist or anything. Knowing small things like circumventing network blocks might be important in the future weather that would in a school enviroment or an oppresive regime. The latter of which is getting closer in my country to reality each passing day.

I think watching over kids without them knowing is the key. Time limit is stupid in my opinion. Obviously porn sites and other appropriate sites will be blocked network wide and when the time comes I’ll slowly teach the child how to circumvent the measures and even create their own.

As you have pointed out, feeling under pressure will definitely detrimental for the child development so it’s best to avoid that.

It’s almost like they are intentionally trying to get in trouble.

Yup that’s it! Thanks for finding it!

There was a joke in my local community that is something along these lines:

An African poor kid has seen a Nintendo console somewhere and asks his dad for one. Dad says no, understandably given the circumstances. The kid then makes a replica using cardboard and other shit he finds. Dad posts this on social media and it gains huge attention. Nintendo’s CEO learns about this and travels to Africa in his private jet to meet the family personally. The CEO arrives there and sues the family for copyright infringement for 1,000,000 dollars.

I don’t think this is a malicious act by Google, yet alone intentional at all. (English is not my native language and I’m unsure of how this sentence turned out. Is my grammar correct?)

Google uses a shit ton of automation on it’s services. Youtube being the biggest example with all the unfair bans and copyright strikes. I believe this to be simply a case of those.

I find both bad. There. Take your presumptions away.

I don’t know I never felt the need to customize the terminal. I just like what it comes with. It feels wrong to change that. Black background and colored text is fine. The rest of the OS though damn it’s like a fucking birthday party! Nothing’s at default ffs

I think that’s pretty reasonable? If there are good offers for pre-ordering, why not?

Way better than pre-ordering video games. But that’s a pretty low bar anyways.
