I agree. If the fediverse allows crap like that and it grows, new users will be turned away by their feed being filled with garbage posts like that.

This is a place for people to share interesting content for other humans. Not some cheap and easy way for someone's bots to communicate with other bots while CCing the whole world. This garbage content is being sent to everyone's feed by default but it can't even be consumed by humans. What if someone starts uploading ads like that? Get that shit off of Lemmy.

I am no programmer and understand almost nothing of the documentation and yet somehow I can tell it's all bullshit.

It reads like a kid making up words in an attempt to sound smart mixed up with the description for a shady Amazon product.

Working for an unfeeling entity that only cares about profits and doesn't care about you.

Sounds like working for any large corporation but with better pay.

You forgot to mention that the product they're sacrificing everything for is widely failing to meet expectations and that they will likely expect taxpayers to bail them out when their investments fail and threaten to take out the entire economy with themselves

I didn't watch it but let me guess what he said:

  • He is the best president that ever existed
  • Everything is going great
  • But everything that doesn't is Biden's fault
  • He is a poor victim of everyone being against him
  • Threaten a few people and countries
  • Something racist and something sexist

Genius. Cause all the cars in the world to rapidly rust out. Then they can't emit CO2

I know it's never gonna happen because Donald knows deep inside how pathetic he is but... Man wouldn't it be amazing if he tried to do this in real life and fight a Canadian hockey player? He'd probably fall and break a hip long before he has a chance to though.

How can a nasal spray protect against bullets?

Remember Putin trying to pretend to be good at hockey too?

I want a petition to rename the state to Coloradon

 
 

Macrodroid has been a favourite of mine for automating things on my phone. This is no longer the case.

It has been silently updated at some point to become a data mining and leaking nightmare. At the time of writing these lines, this app contains 30 trackers from various third party telemetry services according to the latest Exodus report. This is an extremely high number of trackers and there definitely weren't that many a few years back. Even most junk free mobile games can’t manage to contain this many. It appears that the owner of the app has sold out and turned it into spyware to sell your data to as many companies as possible.

This is particularly worrying considering the level of access and permissions the app requires to function. If you are using the app still, I’m urging you to reconsider.

Spread the word.

In many RPG games, when you level up, it feels good. You see your stats increase, your damage output and damage resistance go up, all the numbers get bigger. It gives you a sense of accomplishment. But then, you are made to face tougher enemies which completely cancel out the progress you've made. As a player you're locked into a gameplay loop that acts like a treadmill that keeps you struggling all the time while providing an illusion of progress.

Inflation and "pay raises" are doing exactly the same thing. When you get a pay raise, you feel like you've progressed because you make more money than you used to when you first started. But if you take inflation into account, you've never really progressed at all. For most, their struggle only got even harder even.

What if Trump was really into this kind of stuff and everything he has been doing is a secret genius plan to make sure people will pee on his grave for decades, if not centuries to come?

Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.
