"He's going after that anti-marketing dollar, that's a lucrative market."

metaStatic ,

if I know anything about advisory councils in tech it was pure optics and letting them all go will have absolutely zero impact on the normal flow of business beside the current bad press.

I would love to know if they ever affected company policy even slightly.

Fun times on Lemmy today

An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install?? (sh.itjust.works)

You're twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You'll be leaving for Grandma's in about a half hour, and she's lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and there is...

metaStatic ,

Doesn't matter, if I'm 12 then it will always be the wrong thing.

metaStatic ,

Windows running on a VM under linux runs faster than windows on bare metal ...

metaStatic ,

it's not a drop in replacement and anyone looking for one will be disappointed by literally anything available.

You're learning an entirely new operating system, don't think of it as an upgrade, this is a time sink. You'll be under the hood more than on the road for the foreseeable future, but what's the alternative?

metaStatic ,

the best jokes have a kernel of truth.

The VM is optimised for the OS, the OS is usually a fresh install with just that 1 program you need to use instead of you're entire life scattered across the desktop, it can be a snapshot of the system in an optimal state right after running an unfuck windows script that removes default system malware which doesn't let it reinstall, it has less system resources to deal with for the simple fact it can't use them all at the same time as the base OS.

"This thing that is terrible for everyone is also terrible for this specific subset of everyone ..."

also rating social media apps is like rating your favourite STDs

metaStatic ,

depends if you think anonymous interactions are as impactful as people you actually know.

oh god, is this actually worse?

Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men (www.researchgate.net)

Our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's [when their gender is hidden]. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.

metaStatic ,

any bias that doesn't confirm my bias is reverse bias

gonna teach them by playing monopoly properly

he was closing the <span>

metaStatic ,

Deviantart died a very very long time ago. the creature currently wearing it's skin can fuck off and die for all I or any other actual artist cares.

metaStatic ,

I hung around art station for a bit but there is no replacement for what deviantart used to be and that's a real shame.

metaStatic ,

yep they fuckin got us

but it's not like our posts are safe here either. This is the world we live in now.

“[Biometric confirmation is] a lot harder to compromise,”

And a lot easier to obtain by force

metaStatic ,

and I would trust it about as much as paypal.

Zero.

metaStatic ,

"Biometric confirmation" is both

metaStatic ,

Both are shitty in their own ways, but at least Samsung is Android.

not sure that's enough any more

metaStatic ,

is this the line for chaos and bombs?

metaStatic ,

the M1 is still overkill for 99% of ends user tasks.

metaStatic ,

everything is a file, except when it's not.

metaStatic ,

if it can't support you it's a hobby

metaStatic ,

all ad copy is an ad for sponsor block

metaStatic ,

The ad settings are so far off the mark it's not even a little concerning ... besides the fact they where on by default (fixed)

What is concerning is google activity. literally everything you do on your phone is tracked by default

metaStatic ,

it's been a very long time since I've seen a default that wasn't random or a unique pass phrase

metaStatic ,

a user set weak password is infinitly more strong than a known default.

I keep hearing this and wonder if I should buy bulk mice before they come preinstalled with malware or something because they last decades so voting with your wallet doesn't really work.

metaStatic ,

I'm still mourning the loss of the g5 moulds. Why do people feel the need to improve on perfection.

metaStatic ,

music producer?

I've heard of some buying bulk macbooks and cloning their drives because knowing your workflow is the most important thing.

Atari Teenage Riot's music is still produced on an Atari ST.

metaStatic ,

Apple is king of new OS doesn't work on the old hardware though

metaStatic ,

Holy shit. Why did I read that.

I didn't and I'm still dumber for having read the headline

metaStatic ,

I use Arch btw was always a meme , literally no one ever said it unironically.

I use Arch btw

metaStatic ,

how do you know if someone is a vegan...

it's literally a meme template for insufferable people to say "I'm x btw" and those same people don't actually say it, it's a fucking jab at them.

maybe do a google search before attacking people on the internet ... or don't, I'm not your manager.

carnivore btw

metaStatic ,

da fuck?

metaStatic ,

sometimes I remember I'm self hosting things

metaStatic ,

my main PC hosts nothing, everything else is always on

metaStatic ,

how are you still in the simulation?

metaStatic ,

Somehow, Palpatine Has Returned

metaStatic ,

Make sure to tip your CEO

metaStatic ,

I've voted in quite a few board elections as a retail investor.

Employees on the other hand ...

metaStatic ,

if they didn't matter the big money running the campaign against the incumbent board wouldn't have been soliciting votes.

also the biggest vote you have is taking your ball and going home.

ITT: People who have never heard of Crontab

metaStatic ,

let me just quickly check discord ... and manually download and run this update before we can automatically update again

metaStatic ,

I use a cron job but have

alias updog='sudo apt update | lolcat && sudo apt upgrade -y | lolcat'
for when I feel like making sure
