These were honestly pretty great. So expressive. And usually funny.

“What do you have to say to your advertisers?”

‘go fuck yourselves’

‘also we’re raising prices for an unrelated reason’

Am I in someone sane, rational, and smart, like a scientist or humanitarian, or did I wind up as some clueless jackass celebrity? There are wildly different requirements for these.

The latter would probably be easier - but the former would be more resplendent.

I never made a claim that Lemmy was even remotely comparable to reddit in size. Just stating that reddit users fled to here, when reddit made staggering changes affecting many.

There was also DIGG. There were several large aggregators, but they all made changes that lead to mass exoduses to reddit. Back in the day there were sites like SomethingAwful, EBaumsWorld that served up memes and entertainment before we had purpose-built aggregation tools. Eventually reddit will make way for something else (and already has to some degree with its shedding of users to Lemmy).

Hope you didn’t click that link. You probably downloaded a malicious payload.

Yes yes yes yes yes

Raid1 that thing and sleep easier. Good on you for having a cold spare, and knowing to buy your drives at different locations/times to get different batches. Your head is in the right place! No reason to leave that data unprotected if you have the underlying tech and hardware.

What, you don’t want to have to click more for the same thing? But the UI designer’s feels will get hurt!

I want to go back to the days of shitty UI’s made by engineers that, despite looking like ass, NEVER broke and ALWAYS worked.

We have this requirement called truth in advertising, but it doesn’t seem to apply to billionaires.

Obligatory.

All day long, I’d biddy biddy bum

If I were a wealthy man

Probably something like the Jeremy Bearimy.

If you don’t like videos, don’t watch videos.

How about letting those of us who enjoy video content, to continue to enjoy video content.

This shouldn’t be a “I don’t like it, so no one else should get it” situation. That’s some selfish bullshit.

If they don’t included tracking, recording, spying, and advertising, they’re premium at this point.

Fixed battery and removal of headphone jack and SD card slots were 1000% anti-consumer practices designed to cost you more money and make your device lifespan as short as possible. I don’t see the battery problem going away - why enable your phone to last twice or three times as long when they can just force you to have to buy a new device when the battery is shot? At least we got our card slots and jacks back (mostly).

I am also salty that phones USED to have IR blasters and they don’t anymore. IR LEDs cost next to nothing, another feature that was amazing but thrown away to save 5c per unit.

1891 Cookie scientists: What if we classify this, instead of as cookie, as “fruit and cake”?

Here’s a comprehensive and up to date list of failed deliveries, so far.

It was active for about 3 months, until she broke the screen. I replaced her device and put the phone on the shelf. I replaced the screen and digitizer a year later when I needed a spare handset and they told me “it had never been on network” and was ineligible for being unlocked. Which is bullshit because the phone was bought and paid for at the time I purchased it in a box at the store with a prepaid card. As far as I’m concerned, straight talk still owes me 200$. Even if the phone was NEVER activated, I still own it outright, making it mine to do with what I please.

Not always true, I bought a smart talk phone for my kid and the phone was paid in full at the time of purchase. It’s still carrier locked 5 years later because they say “it wasn’t in service for x amount of time and therefore isn’t eligible”. I even reported this to the FCC, opened a case, and they did fuckall and closed the report.

Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It’s fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.
