It’s a shit posting sub. This is how it works. It’s not anyone’s safe place. Feelings are the punchline here.
- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 1 day ago:
They are all downvoting my shit comment to a shitpost, so they’re all proving it correct.
Most people who use Linux don’t tie their personality to it. I’ve long suspected that Lemmy has few of those.

Makes dumb people feel smart.
Gives people who lack agency in life something they use to look down on others, despite no one caring.
For a tiny majority that have them. It is a useful red flag for your loved ones, that the slide of mental illness continues.
They secretly desire to be seen as hackers by others; reality is they are hacks.
They lack the ability to enjoy self deprecating humor.
The inky blackness of terminal screens to sates their inner emo.

If someone was claiming they were working on making a game that contained all games, we would all laugh at them because we know gaming well enough to understand there absurd. But when we talk about computer intelligence like that, some people are like, “well, maybe” because they don’t understand computer intelligence.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 4 days ago:
That’s not a tipped job. Literally a job that forbids tips.
You are equating working fast food with the job a server performs.
I don’t know why or how and do not see that changing, potentially ever. You do not display any signs of the prerequisite intellectual curiosity to change your uninformed opinion on the matter.

There is no convincing them to change their behavior because it’s an emotional reaction they backfill with paper thin logical.
These are people who, if given a position where they determined employees wages they would pay the bare minimum. The temporarily embarrassed millionaire mindset, class traitors, etc.
If they were approaching this from a truly moral position they would boycot establishments where tipping is expected. Instead they freeload and feel entitled to a server paid the literal minimum wage.

it’s pretty much the most unqualified job in the world that pretty much anyone can do.
How many years have you worked as a server that allowed you to make this assessment?
- Comment on Mississippi Senator tells his constituents to 'get a life' 6 days ago:
I don’t disagree there. What i disageee with is that the Democratic Party cannot be salvaged. We can take it by force if needed me. The issue I see with it is there it full of boomers and genx-ers with boomer mindsets.
We need to primary all those fuckers so we can move forward. The ideas of Democratic Party resonate with people, the junk the centrists have are all Republicanesque.
I am immediately reminded of one such loser who laughed at the idea of $15 minimum wage back when they were in a position to push for it.
I don’t like the term DINO (democrat in name only) because it sounds like a purity test but it’s time we take action to push these people out by whatever means necessary.
A new party won’t work. The republicans tried it. Taking over the party worked better for them and only took a few election cycles.
We need to unify and stop the in fighting. Anyone who resists or says liberals are just and bad or any other negativity towards a rebuild need to told to fuck off. They are not worth engagement.
For example, I will not respond to weasel but I will jump into to anyone attempting to engage with them. That’s the entry point. Not these doom and gloom motherfuckers.
- Comment on Mississippi Senator tells his constituents to 'get a life' 6 days ago:
The fun part of Lemmy is it’s quite small and so these names become recognizable. I believe Mr weezel is from a red state, I want to say Texas and all conversations indicate he has fallen hard for the anti democrate propaganda. He’s likely a libertarian (diet republican) but I can’t recall specially, there are a lot of leftist™ on here, aka Tankies.
Both have tha same complaints and the same level of emotional intelligence so it’s really hard to tell them apart despite the ideologies being completely opposites.
Either way, his suggestion will ultimately allow a continued right wing majority.
- Comment on So Long to Tech's Dream Job: It’s the shut up and grind era, tech workers said, as Apple, Google, Meta and other giants age into large bureaucracies. 1 week ago:
Not sure why Apples being grouped in here. Since 2020 their layoffs are rounding errors, 0.5% while Google and Meta are 7% and 26% respectively.
Apple has been beaucratic since before Google and Meta existed and never had the perks that Google and Meta offered.
If anything these companies are becoming more like Apple and Microsoft. Which was inevitable.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 1 week ago:
I’ve never worked as a server but I did date one long ago who said something to the effect, “that $5 means more to her than you” and while I was not nearly as financially stable back then, that idea has stuck with me.
An extra isn’t going to make or break my day but it could make someone else’s day.
Another way I’ve been thinking about this is how for a brief moment you someone’s “boss.” If you’ve ever complained about unfair compensation what does it say about you that you’re using than brief moment of power to be what you hate.

Have you had kids? Did you attend any of their doctor appointments?
Knowing how often their diaper is changed is medical information the doctors will ask.
- Comment on My new laptop chip has an 'AI' processor in it, and it's a complete waste of space 1 week ago:
Microsoft, Google, and Apple are all quietly integrating NPUs into their devices, and implementing the software infrastructure in their operating systems to do on-device classification of content:
Too late. Apple has had an NPU in their phones since 2017. It’s been standard on flagship android devices since 2020 with various amd and intel processors starting around the same time.
I’m not here to defend LLMs or AI feature but for a comment to start with such a misinformed assessment of the state of reality reminds me of someone spouting off about chemtrails and weather machines.
At least NPUs actually exist.
If someone wants to avoid this stuff they are going to need to pick an open source platform that does not use these processor features.

You said 10% for OK which is cheap.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 2 weeks ago:
How many years did you work as a server?
I find this sort of behavior is common against people who have zero hours of experience and don’t know anyone that has worked these jobs.
The pride people feel over being cheap is telling. Going into a transaction with known expectations and flaunting the choice to under perform is not a flex. It’s a symptom among many in this flailing county.

The solution is to never step foot in the restaurant again not punish the server.

I knew people who did this after college with an apartment building. Not sure that’s feasible these days but that seems like it would be much easier to transition out of than a roommate situation.

Only the most depraved and diseased mind would think of such a scheme. Truly the worst people. The most disgusting no genociders ever and that’s a platinum level achievement.

- Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker? 1 month ago:
If the tech proves out and scales, Apple and Samsung will eventually incorporate it but by that time the smaller players will have moved on to newer tech.
- Comment on If You Want Me To Support You, Form A Union 1 month ago:
Its a lot easier said than done, esspecially in an easy-to-enter, oversaturated field like tech or retail
If actors and writers can figure this out, two fields it’s that are even easier to “enter” so can tech.

The Boomer term has shifted to being about state of mind.
This started after “ok, boomer” caused all these people to out themselves.

I like this.
Kids are already taught to look for “context clues”
Namespacing would require the author explicitly define the namespace.
I would also add versioning as a year/month and localization.
