Ha! Try that with a german boomer. It’s one of the most well guarded secrets to them.

Even worse than not-really-understanding-any-of-it is the wilful ignorance shown by some. “I have nothing to hide” is the epitome of obedient worker-ant stupidity.

Don’t understand your downvotes, but probably owners of such bugs :-)

AND not even being paid for doing so. But paying for instead. that’s the most bizarre part of it.

Ach, kein Christ (oder jede andere “religion”) glaubt wirklich an den Quatsch. Entweder ist man rein geboren und hinterfragt einfach nicht oder nutzt es bewusst aus um die leichtgläubigen auszubeuten. Und dann gibts da noch die im religiösen Wahn laut icd/dsm.

Welcher erwachsene mensch, fähig des rationalen Denkens, würde diese abstrusen fantasygeschichten á la Harry Potter WIRKLICH glauben? Nur weil millionen andere es auch tun?

Anyhow. Für genau diese Pfeifen in der CDU wünschte ich der christenkram wäre tatsächlich echt. Denke, dann würden 99% der Sektierer ziemlich dämlich schauen 😁

Und für die “sozialen” in der SPD würde ich mir wünschen, dass die mal nen Jahr als Harzer leben müssten. So inkl. Umzug in die entsprechende Gegend. Und auch nicht im geleasten F-Type sondern in der 5000-euro-200tkm-rostbeule mit wartungsstau.

“Christlich”, “sozial”…Heuchler.

Diese verdammte Unterschicht richtet das Land noch zugrunde mit ihrem Bürgergeld und dem nicht-erscheinen bei Terminen. Unglaublich. Faules Gesindel. Noch ein paar mehr dieser “Reformen” und wir können die Penner endlich in Zwangsarbeitslager packen, damit Deutschland wieder konkurrenzfähig gegenüber China wird!

/s obviously, aber ich habe scheisse wie diese schon oft gehört in vielen Varianten. Natürlich nur von Leuten, die nicht wissen was Arbeit ist (wie ich auch) und ohne jede Empathie, wie es wohl sein möge wenn man ganz unten ist oder kurz davor.

Aktivrente. Lol, ich liebe diese Euphemismen. Keine Ahnung wo mittlerweile das Rentenalter hingerutscht ist, aber warum sollte da auch Schluss sein. Wir sind Deutsche, Arbeit ist unsere einzige Freude, endlich nimmt man sie uns nicht mehr weg mit dieser drecks zwangsrente.

Und was ist mit den körperlich arbeitenden? Soll der Bauarbeiter mit 85 nochmal ran um steuertechnisch über die runden zu kommen? Die Krankenpfleger?

Was als nächstes? Die elenden behinderten oder pflegebedürftigen? Die könnten auch mal ein bissel was machen und mit weniger Geld klar kommen.

Same. From pri8 to legit back to pir8.

Sonarr/radarr/prowlarr/jellyfin. Never been easier and more comfy to watch (close to) ANYTHING.

As long as it’s communicated amongst the participants. Yes! If anyone could just pause it because they wanna go see a movie now or make a baby? NO!

Solution: everyone in a sessions needs to enable this. So a friends-group can actually take a break for a tinkle. Or that everyone has to enter the menu or such and then the game pauses.

Who cares? Are there still people left paying for that crap?

I hear you. And yes lol. The banking-apps. That won’t work if I root my device “for security reasons!” but still demand to be installed on a fucking MOBILE device that gets lost or stolen. No bank ever made an app for the PC. Oh right, you should just use the browser there like an adult.

But yes, the choice between horrible corporate shit and semi-functional foss is hard. Lemmy really is the exception as all those apps are still nicer than the reddit official one. Minus everything bad.

Phones will be hard to switch though. Let alone for a great camera, which I highly favour most in a phone. I actually don’t care to make a call with them, they’re on DND 24/7 anyway. But those Linux phones I’ve checked all have horrible cams (and all other stats like an OLED) yet still cost a decent sum for feeling like it’s 2002. But I seriously can’t use stupid android anymore the second google kills side loading. I have many self made apps and would never ever make a legit google ACC with my real data and even pay to be “verified” for “security reasons” (so tired of hearing that argument for everything bad) Let alone rooting. That’s the absolute least I demand from a phone. To be MINE. That I can make backups from without googles silly cloudshit.

But they will do it anyway. This way or another, sooner or later. Like Samsung became the crapple of android, they want android itself to be like crapple. I hate the corporate world…

True. Lemmy is a great example of how it could (and damn should) be. Never regretted being forced to leave reddit in the apipocalypse. Yet, search? LaCy is the only one i know and searching is…challenging at best. I’m running an instance and also searXng.

Mobile, oh yes. My next phone will surely be Linux if Google will really fuck up android with killing sideloading. Not that I wouldn’t have expected them to do it sooner or later. Might be also challenging, but luckily I don’t NEED a phone, I just like having it (and for android-auto, i hate being forced into the car’s ecosystem…which now bites me in my ass).

WA is serious cancer, yes. The amount of “what?! why don’t u use WA?!?!”-faces i get saddens me. But fuck you all. My wife is on telegram (yeah, i know, but i need the API!) and that’s all I need. Whomever else wants to chat me? they’re free to do, but i won’t be held hostage on WA. And if people wouldn’t install an app for me (as i’m expected for them, but THEY are those that don’t care for privacy and such), i’m not important enough so screw them anyway. But I’ve often been schooled that in certain countries it’s totally unavoidable. But that probably just depends on your level of achievable freedom, so to speak. Wouldn’t share your optimism that they might cross a threshhold. Majority of users have not the slightest clue about anything or, way more badly, just don’t care (“I have nothing to hide!”).

At least on Fuckbook you kinda do it voluntarily. Noone forces you. But as far as I can oversee the job-world it’s kinda a necessity nowadays (LI). I guess I would really really really be screwed should I look for a job today. Can’t create an anonymous profile, would not gift my valuable personal info to - especially - a murican company. That would probably kill my chances pretty well. Especially in the IT. Ugh.

And yes, you’re right. Academics isn’t much better. And let me not start about ads or social cancer, err media.

How we got here? From an old far who was there day #1 (when i had to move to another city to personally sign a contract to have internet-access, lol): The more non-geeks explored the web, the more dumbed down (not meant demeaning) it had to become. And the lower the lowest common denominator became, the more everything had to adapt. Then google switched from “don’t be evil!” to being the most evil motherfucker of them all and it all went downhill. Now, after witnessing the rise of search-engines I’m right in the endtimes of their decay. Search SUCKS ASS. AI sucks a lil less ass, but more blows the front. It’s also shit, but faster! And 10yrs from now when 99% of the net is circlejerked AI-junk fed to other AIs that feed other AIs… I could go on for hours but…

At least, we have a buy-european-movement that slowly gains traction. That’s something, right? RIGHT?

There still are good news in this world 😊

Yup. And I’m kinda curious how they’ll manage to put a bad label on “federation” in the end. How exactly they’ll fuck shit up. For users, not them of course.

I’d be more concerned about the privacy. Applying to a company is one - possibly unavoidable - thing, but offering my vita, picture and all to a murican company on top? Nope. I’d rather create a tiktok-account tbh. Especially when I’m not murican myself, otherwise it Wouldn’t matter much anyway.

The easy application might sound tempting to ease an already horrible system. But “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” …and will loose both in the end.

Considering how I always put up jobs and my decision-process to choose the people (screw CVs and pictures), I feel very anachronistic now.

Sure, there are circumstances that might totally force you onto those shitty platforms. But I would really hate it and try to prevent it as long as I could.

Guess when I would have to look for a job, I’d be screwed nowadays with LinkedIn. Which is even worse cancer…

And then there’s me who never ever had an account there and surely will not at blowsky :-)

lost its professional edge

It HAD a professional edge? Okay, good to know. Maybe that’s an american thing. And screw blowsky. It’s the same shit, just a different asshole. I wouldn’t trust this federation per se. They will manage to enshittify it sooner or later.

Cellar, steel-door with face-detection. Only if me (and/or wifey) are present the door opens shortly, video-surveillance, alarm-system. Same for gate and entrance. So you first would have to make your way TO the server-room :-) Might be an overkill (who wants to steal a server?!) but our backups and archives are stored there too, 100% fire-proof. And I value those. Money is replaceable.

RSS will sadly die out. Like all excellent stuff from before the enshittification-of-everything like IRC or good old web 1.0 which just had information and not 25 fat-ass JavaScript frameworks and libraries and 582 trackers and more cookies than one could chew…

But news via tiktok is the (current…) Epitome of stupidness of the already stupid stupidness of news via yet another framework per se.

I miss RSS.
