Also, "flip burgers" is a bad description of how hard it is to actually work in food service

You just know someone with a two-stall garage and boat who's always had things handed to them came up with that shit

Hunter Biden should be removed from office immediately

this is my 1000th comment.

I'm glad I read this post because I certainly don't plan to visit the site.

Everything is bad, but a highlight for me is Ellen Degeneres posting "Welcome to Gay Twitter!" as if she is still relevant or respected by us LGBT+ people, and as if a site created by The Zuck to appeal to the type of person who thinks Miracle Whip is too spicy could ever be "gay" anything.

Is this accurate? I don't know any young people in my family who wouldn't find it creepy to be cyberstalked

You have so much respect from me, you don't even know...

Thank you for all of this

This bullshit will make me switch to Linux

Between games being unoptimized and borderline unplayable anyway, the monstrosity that is Windows 11 which I'm forced to use at work, and now this projected cloud bs? Nope. Not interested.

I'm sure there will be a not insignificant number of users who don't even realize until sometime in July that their third-party app isn't working

As a terminally online person, I sometimes forget that a lot of people simply browse sites like reddit casually or infrequently

I just tried Catbox, and that is pretty slick! I like how it gives the direct image link upfront, and it's neat how instead of asking for a subscription fee they use patreon and sell merch. Seems refreshingly straightforward.

30 minutes or less, or your money back!

The term low-skilled labor is classist propaganda

But you are correct that this is how it's perceived through the warped lens of capitalism

UBI is not the answer. It's just liberals' way of propping up an inherently exploitative system

Steve Huffman actually did the first worthwhile thing of his entire life: He killed reddit!

To think I've been saying fuck /u/spez for years when he was on our side all along. The mofo really killed the most popular white supremacist platform in the world!

Drew like a dark, fucked up version of Light Gary haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane lmao

I've never been convinced by the "Why worry about privacy if you have nothing to hide?" argument. It seems to me privacy is a virtue worth protecting in and of itself. I always think about the bathroom door argument. I want to shit in peace. No, I can't explain to you exactly why, but on some level the ability to do that has value in and of itself. I don't need someone breaking down the door and then demanding I explain myself, and telling me things like "it's not an issue" or "it's not like somebody wants to steal from your home."

Example: I love my husband, but I don't need to take out my phone and check if he's on his way home, or had to take the long way around because of roadwork, or had a bad day and has stopped by the dispensary. There's no way that's not creepy to me, sorry. Conversely, he doesn't need to know that I've been struggling with money lately, so I stopped by Walmart for those pretty flowers.

Also consider that by sharing your location data, you are sharing your data with a nefarious third party who is using that data for things like targeted advertising, and likely with state agencies that may not have your best interests in mind.

While I'm aware there is no way to be truly private online, I do believe this community is about people who are concerned about this and are not just rolling over while the attacks on our privacy advance. I am especially invested in privacy as a LGBT+ person whose country is rapidly descending into fascism. I am invested as a feminist who cares about women's rights to their own bodily autonomy and healthcare. I am invested as a transgender ally who wants trans kids and adults to receive the acceptance and care that they need. Even if I didn't personally feel invested in matters of privacy (I do), I would hope that I'd pursue the trend nevertheless for the well-being of others.

My nieces and nephews convinced me to get Snapchat, and it was fun entertaining them with the funny filters for about a week, but I noped out of that feature first thing. I ended up deleting the app after the novelty wore off for them because it also sent a ton of promotions, and even though I don't think it could see my contacts with the settings I had, it seemed like the type of app that would abruptly opt me into things without warning.

Also, even with just basic notifications enabled, it managed to send me ads and promotions every week.

I really dislike Snapchat lol

As someone who lives in South Dakota, I wish I could say this is uniquely unhinged behavior, but it's pretty easy to find this sort of thing around here

Also, gender studies is obviously a field we should be supporting more, given the prevalence of sexism in society and how many people are completely ignorant about the nature of gender

Sort of. It has some similarities in that there are no ads, but Invidious is more privacy focused. Instead of accessing YouTube's API directly, it scrapes the content which is hosted on individual Invidious instances. Moreover, you can register an account to save playlists and such, which will be completely unattached from your Google account.

One thing that some people don't know is that you can copy/paste a YouTube URL into the searchbar of any Invidious instance, and it will find that video immediately. I do this a lot when I want to watch a video, but I don't want to contribute views to a particular channel, for whatever reason.

I have two lemmy accounts, but I find myself using this one most often because beehaw blocks the really bad instances. I really wish they'd implement this feature because I'd like to block the dedicated porn ones as well.
