I’m pretty sure this is happening with ADHD meds too.

The “two steps forward, one step back” maneuver. Classic.

I saw this coming and switched to GIMP and Inkscape. It’s been a pain but I’ve managed. I’m just the IT guy though, and I would be laughed out of the room if I suggested our marketing team consider making the same switch.

It’s not a matter of seeing it coming. They just don’t care.

I was thinking about this the other day. I support some very, very technologically limited users and I wondered if anyone out there is working on a distro/DE that looks and feels just enough like windows to get them by

I would never have considered this before they announced Recall. Now it feels like I’m waiting to see just how hard they push it

Is it not clear which definition of Crypto he’s using?

Linus coming out against cryptography seems so unrealistically silly to me that it’s not even worth considering.

You no nothing about IT do you?

I’m not convinced you do, if you genuinely can’t imagine a scenario where someone with just enough permissions could be convinced to do this, legally or otherwise.

I’m not sure about that. In my experience, it’s how they justify everything. The ones I’ve known personally seem to genuinely believe their god wants them to inflict pain on others as part of some sort of divine warfare. They also tend to prefer the old testament, unsurprisingly

How about Analogue August or Stop Scrolling September?

I’ll also say, Offline October is pretty dang good.

Normies = lurkers

Okay then, where did all the young and in-touch people end up?

Gmail has a bad habit of losing my emails anyway. Maybe yours too if you ever used Google Inbox.

I migrated my main account to Inbox and it was honestly the best email experience I’ve had. Unfortunately, the forced migration following its collapse left my Gmail riddled with problems.

Granted, it’s not losing days worth of email. It just occasionally attempts to automatically categorize emails into categories that don’t exist, removing them from my inbox and leaving them in a weird uncategorized limbo space. Once there, I have to search for them specifically before they will show up anywhere.

The worst part is, it is so inconsistent that I have no clue when to expect it. I have missed major bills this way.

I have a coworker who is also an Inbox refugee. He is the only other person I’ve met with identical Gmail issues.

it’s becoming more obvious every day that lemmy is where the old and out of touch people migrated to

Hey I’ve heard there’s this really cool app for lipsyncing and dancing. Apparently it’s getting pretty popular. Sounds like you’d have more fun there

Given how many politicians are deeply closeted, I like to imagine they hurried this one along quietly

Yeah this is me taking Phantom Menace story lines over the One And Only Star Wars movie:

Aight with you so far

Duuuhhhh d’duerrrr doiiiiiiiyyyyy bbbbrrthhhhbtb

Not a fucking clue how this is supposed to sound

You’re missing the point that they need those relationships to gain access to sources. You literally cannot force people to talk to you

“Hey bro, chill. We gotta make it look like we’re at least trying to pretend it’s legit.”

The problem isn’t that it’s a hysterical idea, it’s that Trump is dumb, unhinged, and blindly supported enough to try it. We know because he literally tried.

I couldn’t justify the cost of Spotify when I’m still paying for YouTube premium (and have no plans to quit) and at the end of the day it still isn’t GPM

Same! I still keep the icon on my phone to remind me of what we lost.

My gut feeling says that’s not entirely true. Generative AI has so many qualities that make could it offensive to so many people, I think we were going to see a pushback from artists regardless. The devs’ shitty training practices just happened to give the artists a particularly strong case for grievances.
