No, I think I’ll go on gloating to these unhinged sycophants that their godking is now a convicted felon and their whining and tears are so very satisfying.

The moment they decided to attempt a literal coup is the moment they solidified any polarization. That ship has sailed. Now it’s time to see everything they worship fall apart.

I would say that by now, nearly 10 years after all this nonsense began, anyone who is still misguided or misinformed is being that way willfully.

We like to laugh and play here about Linux quite a bit

We do? Aside from the "I use Arch, btw" memes, I must not have got that memo :) And, uhh...I use Arch, btw.

Fuck, ignoring the obvious pron implications that I assume everyone here is immediately thinking of, think of HIPAA, think of the private communications with therapists that people have, think of all of the financial documents you’ve opened, think about bank accounts, chats, fucking everything.

So much this. I'm glad I dumped Windows and this just guarantees that I'll never return.

Not only that, the interpreter will point directly to the line of code and possibly to the exact character that is the problem. Any programmer worth anything would find the issue or, worst case, retype the line of code and have the problem fixed rather quickly. “Illegal character” is a pretty easy error to diagnose.

But…I still chuckled a little at the intent of the joke. I’m sure there are better pranks one could come up with, though.

Much more likely it’s a doctored photo just to make the joke. Either way, it’s sad.

You’re on beehaw, and are spouting that Trump/FOX-level inferiority complex bullshit?

Either you’re trolling and/or joking…or you can rightly fuck off.

The simple fact you use terms like “libtard” proves the abundance of undereducation you have received. Enjoy living with such idiocy. Bye.

And the moment a Republican administration is back, it’ll be gone again. This needs to be codified in law, not flip flopping every few years.

I don’t disagree. And while I agree with the FCC continually trying to keep Net Neutrality alive, it’s a stopgap measure at best, one that will come and go until there is an elected Congress that isn’t full of greedy, sycophantic, whiny, spineless pieces of shit.

Well here's a few off the top of my head...

1. Interstate commerce is governed by the federal government. The internet is a bastion of interstate commerce.
2. Schools now require the internet for kids. ISPs being allowed to be anything more than a dumb pipe means they have the control of what information is sent across their network.
3. The internet is now a basic human right in the United States for numerous reasons, one of which is #2. Basic human rights have notoriously been mishandled by the states. See: slavery, indentured servitude, civil rights, voting rights, air and water treatment, etc.
4. ISPs cross state boundaries and should be governed by interstate law.

An ISP being a business, especially a publicly-traded one, will sacrifice all manner of consumer/user-protection in order to maximize profit. And having the states govern against that will lead to a smattering of laws where it becomes muddy on what can actually be enforced, and where.

Net Neutrality, as a general concept, must be codified into federal law in order to help protect the common good and interest of such a basic utility -- and yes, the internet is a utility despite in some places, very few in fact, where competition is available.

And here I am wondering if their name is “Jew Lez” or something like “Jewels”.

What I find hilarious is that these are just minor hiccups. The emulation scene has existed for a long time and will continue to exist for a long time. None of these recent measures will do anything to stop it as long as the emulator devs aren’t trying to make money off Nintendo IP.

The article in no way describes any actions taken by Valve that leads me to believe there is any impending enshittification. They simply have made decisions, a lot of which they have stuck with for many years.

Enshittification has to do with bait and switch, effectively. It’s luring customers into a false sense of loyalty and then abusing that to their financial gain (see: Reddit and Spez from 2023).

The article basically says “there are some decisions by Valve I like, and some I don’t.” That in no way provides any path toward some bomb going off. Perhaps time will prove the author right, of course, because any company can easily decide to screw over their customers, but the article is click-bait and completely speculative as to what may happen.

And due to all of the above, I think the bomb is about to go off where elephants will fly out of my refrigerator and steal my soda.

Or more generally, “Fox News Distort Reality”.

So the author both wants notifications and doesn’t want notifications.

Got it.

Sure sounds like a problem of their own making. And I find iOS’s notification taming rather simple to use. So I use it, and amazingly I have less notifications because of it!

I find there is no shortage of delusional nerds who like to think they’re better than everyone else. Even here on Lemmy.

I really need to leave this shit state.

Yes, this is what happens when you take a big shit in people's cereal. They tend to leave. I, too, could be an analyst.

I sure hope not. I cannot wait for the day Reddit is crumbling in its own ashes with piece-of-shit Huffman burning in the center.

I mean Rita’s last name is Wilson. Perhaps he thought he was spending that time with her and it just happened to be a volleyball.

I’ve run into a number of toxic asses on Lemmy, but I chalk it up to Reddit bleedover. I sincerely hope they all stay on the sinking Reddit ship, but inevitably the Fediverse will be inundated with them.

Completely agree. I miss Reddit from 2007.

I’ll comment here what I commented on another thread about this…

If they’re children then they can get social security numbers and be claimed on taxes, right?

It seems one of those life goals are to drive 15 miles per hour lower than the speed limit in the passing lane, and not passing anyone. Every single time I take to the road.
