Just to be clear… you think that the thing they’ve been actively doing for years, without any indication that there’s any motivation to change, is why they’re changing policy? 🤔 let’s just say I’m not convinced

I certainly don’t have my phone number associated with my Google account. Maybe grandfathered in, though?

I bounced off when he described “the one piece nobody had thought of” for the third time without actually saying which piece. Fucking keep-watching-bait bullshit

Never really been without water, but I’ve avoided eating for ~3 days due to illness a couple times. It’s kinda easy when there’s a reason for it (nausea, mostly) - when you know the alternative is worse, short-term hunger is only mildly annoying.

It’s not, but the people who are asking are often not tech-savvy, and any amount of self-hosting will be hard for them

The heavy-handedness of that absolutely terrifies me, but at least it asks for confirmation first.

alias fuck='sudo !!' is probably the best thing I’ve ever added to my profile

Most serious tech companies have just straight-up stopped all remote interviews. It’s simply too fraught with cheating, fake people, and foreign operatives. Interviews are in person and include hand-written code, because we’re back to high school trust issues baybeeeeee

…you think influencers aren’t on lemmy? 🤦‍♂️

You must be an influencer. I promise that most people don’t want to be in your videos and hate when you come around with your phone out

And if I complain too much about being included in their grift everyone will shit on me for being a karen or for not helping him with it.

I don’t think this is true at all, most people absolutely feel the same.

Definitely get your money back, and report to the FTC! This is clearly fraud and should be punished harshly! Maybe we can publicly hang him

…you’re so far behind the times, it’s comical. Yes, there are microphones around you transmitting the shit you say (or at least sentiment markers from it). Absolutely insane that there are people who don’t believe this today.

I still have a FAT32 external drive that this (very) rarely still bites me 😫 there’s nothing important on it, so I’ve been lazy

I wouldn’t choose to, if I didn’t have to, I guess? But I wouldn’t say I have a lot of trouble if it’s too hot for one

I’m sure most of them are actually retired, but all? No chance

This feels like confirmation bias. You don’t recognize the ones that you find acceptable, so you falsely reinforce your belief even when the data might disagree with you. I promise that you aren’t as good at detecting AI as you think you are.

I have yet to see an “idk why I was banned” that wasn’t either blatant bad-faith engagement or flat out lying about the event. I don’t think that actually happens very often at all.

Did plex do something again

Are only people who submit posts allowed to have opinions? 😂

Good way to lose 95% of your users
