  God, I miss that phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the screen protector really necessary?

  I’ve never used it, just a cover on the back.

  Fuck forced accounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aggressive negotiations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a German

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if we want to get technical its roots are in the Indo-European which comes from the Iranian plateau

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or even the Canadian flag, to make it even more fun for the US people lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s for another reason we clearly know

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes a bit of sense because Duolingo teaches you the American variety of English and Brazilian.

  But still… why?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually use UK English to have a sane date formatting (the US format is completely retarded), but you have a good idea. I’ll use Ireland from now on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  See? This is why we shouldn’t use flags to represent languages.

  Go to Brazil, and I bet they use the Brazilian flag to represent the language they speak, not the Portuguese one.

  Go to Ireland, and you’ll see they use the Irish flag to represent the English language.

  In Switzerland, what flag should they use to represent Ladin?

  And what about Canada? They speak two official languages.

  The correct way to display languages is just their name or they ISO code. Using flags for languages is fundamentally wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  British English is the OG English. They should always use that flag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you seen the average person recently? They like to be spoon-fed content in a passive way. Look at Instagram Reels or TikTok.

  Mastodon is fine for geeks like us, but the average Joe would find it dead and boring. Bluesky managed to fill that hole left by Twitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I think “benefit company” is the most bullshit thing ever invented

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tity more tity, the Greed is sickening⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People are downvoting you, but I remember going on porn websites at 9 years old and it was great. I turned out fine, and I’m glad my parents didn’t check my browser history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sure thing, website, my name is Gabe Newell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re partially right, I’d like to add some details: websites can also check if a domain (e.g. example.com) actually exists. So if you smash random letters on your keyboard and you end up with a non-existing domain, a website will be able to stop you from using that address.

  More advanced websites also check for an MX record on the domain DNS. If a domain exists but it doesn’t have an MX record, then it’s not going to be able to receive emails and may be blocked in sign up forms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My password is not accepted because it is too long⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But there must be a (long) max length anyway, to prevent some kinds of attacks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why am I seeing political ads for Donald Trump in April of the year of his second inauguration?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Switch to Firefox + uBlock Origin. Problem solved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Enshittification of ChatGPT⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Better: it understands the question, but he doesn’t have any useful statistical data to use to reply to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*Doesn't look like anything to me.*⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Open” AI. Yeah, open my ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' finera;l⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where is she buried? I feel like I need to pee soon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  GIMP and Inkscape are unfortunately worse than their commercial counterparts.

  The Adobe suite sucks big time, but it’s still the de facto standard.

  Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer are lighter and snappier than Adobe, but still better than GIMP and Inkscape.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I love yt-dlp!!! Too bad that the Pluto TV downloader has been broken for a long time, I used it in the past to download region locked shows

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Files shared on Usenet (which may violate piracy laws) are usually packed in the rar format

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  NanaZip is a modern fork of 7zip, useful if you’re on Windows 11

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And the beat goes on in my ass

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Creative Curse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d love if the Affinity suite was available for Linux. That’s the only thing I miss from Windows/macOS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which actor did not have a single bad film?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The Conversation is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. The feeling you get from that movie is so strange and I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which actor did not have a single bad film?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d also add Eyes Wide Shut

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clean butt⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Skibidi Biden

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It did. Italy was filled with Blockbusters and their hideous blue signage.
