You know, there oneliners may sound cool when you are a teenager, but they are signs of a mind who thinks in absolutes, because there is no wisdom yet.

It will come through life and getting older. :)

How did you try being nice? You have a war on everything... Drugs, freedom, privacy.. Im honestly not sure how you see yourself as being nice...

High road? Im also not sure how you took the high road. Im genuinely interested, maybe my perspective here is completely wrong.

Amazing guy. I always love those people who are honest when there is nothing to gain but self respect.

Most people dont say anything because they are afraid, and they know its not smart for their careers. But thats exactly why I like those people who are honest so much. They get a lot of shit for it and they do it anyway. Thats really cool i think. Thats being actual cool.

They are, because corporations are about taking as much profits away from others as possible and getting them for yourself. Its nothing nice about it. But it gives jobs.

This entire society is built on just taking resources, taking land, taking power from someone else, so you can benefit and not the others.

If there would be cooperation instead, humans could make a dream world here. But they cant. Its just in their fucking heads that they need to take more from others instead of sharing.

Yep piefed seems cool, and it should develop faster than Lemmy since its easier language to be quick in too.

Will check it out, just for fun. I prefer apps on my phone but of course everyone is different. Sometimes the web version is so good that the app is just a wrapper around a web browser anyway.

Yes please. Canada should join the EU. :)

America can sit and be strong alone in a corner.

[–] 1984 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Absolutely, lets do it.

America wants to be on their own. Freedom to get fucked up.

I was talking about reddit alternatives with quality mobile apps, not fediverse apps in general.

In that category i didnt know any besides Lemmy, but ok, piefed is worth checking out. But which mobile app has the quality of Sync?

And yes, im aware that some part of the donations may go to the Lemmy.ml instance but I also believe that developers need to have a decent salary. So its not strange that 1000 dollars per month is not nearly enough to live on. But people just ignore that and focus on not supporting lemmy.ml because they dont like the political views of the developers.

But yeah I will check out piefed. Its good with more alternatives, specially written in easy languages like python, since rust is very difficult to contribute to. However, large python codebases tend to be very buggy due to lack of types, but maybe they use the optional type system. Its also slow, but doesnt matter so much when most of the cpu usage is the database.

Strong nostalgia.

Im a good person but we can coexist in this world. :)

 

He blamed a "concerted effort" by other countries that offer incentives to attract filmmakers and studios, which he described as a "National Security threat".

"WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!"

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick responded to the announcement, saying "We're on it".

This is an actual thing. I figured it was made up, but no, Trump is serious. :)

 

I know this sounds bad, but maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Necessity is the mother of invention and maybe browser technology should be funded by governments instead of privately owned advertising megacorps?

 

I always like these articles that question the common mindset and teach us something.

Of course at the same time, my hope for humans goes down, but thats another story... :)

 

No matter what happens, I believe the author is correct. Europe will not trust the US in a long time. Trump actually has managed to destroy the image of America in the entire world, in a few months.

 

"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”

Probably a lot of us are tired of Musks ramblings but I just thought this is clearly showing why he is so dangerous.

I think Musk may be more of a psychopath than Donald Trump, who is more of a narcissist but hopefully not a full blown maniac.

 

Dont forget that nothing bad lasts forever, and previous generations went through wars and hardships too.

It certainly feels like madness is in control of the US, but its just greed and lust for power and attention. There is no difference between the undeveloped child that is taking the entire sandbox and these people. Some humans desire nothing more than to take from others until there is nothing left. Maybe its part of their spiritual evolution.

Perhaps there something to learn from their behavior. We get reminded of how not to be towards others. They are a very clear example of souls that feels much more primitive than the animals we have around us.

This too shall pass. :)

Shows all the information Google gets from just one photograph, using Ai.

 

This is not dystopian at all, is it? Humans sleeping in pods. I guess it beats homelessness but this seems like a fail on epical levels (unless profits for these pod companies are what we care about).

 

New thunderbird available for android now. :)

 

It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Alien Romulus (self.movies)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by 1984 to c/movies@lemmy.world
 

I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?

Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.

I didn't feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.

Just disappointed. How about you guys?

 

I guess it's just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.
