There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it.

Too many smug people think, “advertising doesnt work on me! Hah! Only weak minded normies fall for it…”

Wrong… Advertising works. And that’s the reason a shit ton of money that goes into it.

You want to know the reason why i run adblockers in my browser AND DNS levels? Because i KNOW advertising works on me… i KNOW i’m not smart enough to outsmart the army of engineers, and copywriters generating this stuff.

I had Youtube premium when it included google play music. GPM was so good…

I unsubscribed everything when they changed to youtube music. Terrible music platform

Wait what? Republicans said they fuck couches? I’m out of the loop here.

And rob your coworkers of the joy of seeing the cat point his butthole directly at the camera???

Cats showing up in the middle of meetings is the best part of meetings

I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!

I keep hearing how addictive nicotine is (7x more than heroin??), but in my experience, i never got addicted. Is there something wrong with my brain?

I never smoked two packs a day, but i spent at least 3 years smoking socially (2 or 3 smokes at work every day and then 2 or 3 smokes at the bar on the weekend). So around a pack a week.

But during that time, i could always just take a week or two off if i needed to. I always wanted a smoke (especially with a beer or coffee) but i could resist the urge, no problem.

At the end of the 3 years, i just quit cold turkey. I would keep smoking once in a while with a beer, but i never went back to regular smoking…

Do you only get addicted if you’re smoking a pack a day or more?

If buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing

Prompts are just the reverse of image recognition AI tagging stuff.

Alt text is exactly the kind of tedious work that AI would be good at doing, but everyone in the fediverse seems to have a huge hate boner for ANYTHING AI…

Fediverse: write a fucking essay every time you post an image… But make sure you waste time doing it manually, instead of using AI tools!!!

None of my coworkers drive to the office and we actually like seeing each other… Hybrid remote work is great for us

I think 90% of the problem is people being forced to drive everywhere

Weather underground is owned by IBM now

Anyone know of a community driven, non-profit weathet platform we can share weather station data with?

Wow, did not know this…

I think i will accelerate my plans for a new NAS lol

QNAP is taiwanese and still providing software patches for my 8 year old NAS. I think they are reasonably trustworthy

But i agree with you, i’m going to build my own NAS from scratch this year…

My debian laptop always reconnects to my wifi automatically

The only annoying thing is it always asks for a password unless you set it to save the wifi credentials for everyone instead of encrypted.

I cant remember the exact wording of the option, but its in thr security tab of each wifi network

Dude, i was also going to ask if you’re a writer on the show…

i read your post and heard hank’s voice perfectly in my head. You have talent, son.

A lot of linux desktop environments will break as well if you remove some seemingly useless package

$sudo apt remove kwrite

The following packages with also be REMOVED: kde-plasma-desktop, [all the other KDE desktop packages]

It has “categories”. Not sure if thats the same thing

I replaced keep with nextcloud notes many years ago

Has anyone actually watched a 1hr porn scene from start to finish?

How? Why?

Thry used to be like 6mins long in the 90s… The whole damn movie was an hour long… Now one porn scene is over an hour sometimes

It’s more a limitation of the english language… No distinction between free as in beer or free as in freedom… We’re stuck with the same word

I used sync for reddit for so many years and paid $2… I just paid the ad removal price on the new app right away. Even if the app ends up sucking, i want to support the dev for all the previous work

I will definitely consider switching to FOSS option though

The worst question from newbies is: “whats the best debian-based distro?”

DEBIAN IS THE BEST DEBIAN-BASED DISTRO. JUST USE DEBIAN
