genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?
As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter… used to be for following celebrities but i’ve gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).
I hope to God you wouldn’t be gleeful at me getting fired
I wouldn’t be “gleeful”, but I can definitely see why the company was within their rights to fire you.
This is like those nutbags who shut down a highway to protest the environment or something, then accuse the police of being un-environmental when they’re invariably arrested.
first of all, you lost me when you pointed to reddit.
second, they protested not just within the office, but in the personal office of one of the higher-ups. If you blockaded your CTO’s office as a means of protesting world hunger, I don’t think that would go well for you either.
I don’t think peertube will succeed in scaling because video streaming and transcoding takes so much more resources to run than lemmy, and I can’t see volunteers doing this for nothing in return in the long run.
Tens of thousands of lemmy users can be hosted on hundreds of dollars per month; I bet it’s 10x more for peertube.
That’s great news, he’s helping us accelerate the demise of twitter.
My desktop functions as a local file server and plex server.
If I bought a laptop and a bunch of hdds, it would cost maybe $500 more, and the hdds would be useless without a laptop plugged in.
A laptop is portable and that’s great, but it isnt always better.
Yes my desktop functions as a NAS - It takes maybe $100 more to get from a synology NAS to a working desktop-cum-NAS-cum-plex-server which I have.
On the other hand, it takes $500+ more to buy a laptop to plug in to a nas.
My point is, a laptop isnt always better.
I’ll switch when they make a laptop with 30+TB storage like my desktop has lol
I used to pay for Netflix because it was easier to have one service to watch everything, than it was to pirate.
I’ve obviously stopped.
Piracy really is a service problem for me.
There was a point in time where I paid for Netflix because it was simply easier than downloading everything.
That point has long passed, and I no longer pay for streaming.
If I’m reading that correctly, you basically have 100gb worth of streaming?

oh no, they can no longer sell a phone that’s 3 years old, how will they survive?
I’m fine with bt 90% of the time, but every so often I forget to charge my earbuds and wish i could use wired.
Given the relatively low cost, I’d prefer having a headphone jack around, even if I only use it once every 2 months.
Why so much anger? Just stop using it. Apathy is better than anger.
I can’t even remember when I logged into fb last.
As a non developer - why does this require some sort of installation? The general idea of a search engine is “go to a website and it helps you search for websites”.
Great, no scrolling through thousands of lines to find the right one!
Neither tabs or spaces are good. The correct way is to leave no whitespace in the code at all. It’s unnecessary and adds to processing time.
Everyone should aim for 1LOC per commit
Even with alt brands it’s an expensive hobby in general.
First you complain about the price of the bricks
After some time you start complaining about the price of shelves and drawers
Sooner or later you’ll complain about hedging to buy a new house with a basement or an attic to for your collection.
Not a church service, but I attended a church wedding.
Pastor gave a sermon as is tradition during a church wedding. Every minute or so, he somehow managed to work in “and since you are in a place of God, you should not disrespect the bride and groom or our worshippers by using your phones”.
Bitch, I’m here to support my friend who’s getting married, not your church or your worshippers. I know for a fact that my friend chose to get married in the church because it’s cheaper, not because she’s super religious. Also I’m agnostic and haven’t read the Bible, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say “thou shalt not use mobile phones in churches”.
I very pointedly had my phone out for his entire sermon out of spite
