I’m working on a Lemmy client and I occasionally browse main stream social media to check the robustness of my app vs theirs. But I find myself enjoying mainstream less and less as I settle more into Lemmy.

Ironically if these “Christians” actually followed the 10 commandments we wouldn’t be in half the mess we’re in.

• You shall have no other gods before me: Trump
• You shall not make idols: Trump literally made a goat with his face on it
• You shall not murder: Palestinians
• You shall not commit adultery: Hegseth amongst others
• You shall not steal: the land from the Palestinians
• You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor: MAGA creating lies like “they’re eating the cats and dogs” to justify their racism

As if SoundCloud’s “no AI” tag will actually stop anyone from scraping and training on SoundCloud music.

But can you ever really know you want something in the future? I think it’s more of a prediction. I predict tomorrow me will want tea

My motivation was mostly to ditch Amazon, but in the process I discovered ko reader is both better than Amazon’s reader and does a really good job turning PDFs into readable books.

You know what, we probably agree on most of that list. And I’m happy we have Lemmy.

Someone else pointed out it’s not that difficult to boot Linux on your Chromebook off a thumb drive. A quick search shows it might be slightly complicated but seems pretty doable depending on your model.

Listen I hate Google, but this still seems like a dumb take. There are better things to criticize them for: illegal monopolization of search through anticompetitive practices, making their search product worse on purpose, having no respect for people’s privacy, literally removing their slogan to not be evil, etc).

Probably windows 🤮

I think there were jailbreaks that could be done on device, but if I remember correctly this wasn’t one of them. I forget the exact year/iOS version. I wanna say I jailbroke 3 iOS versions in a row, and at that point new things had captured my interest. Eventually I found myself captivated with frontend development.

You can find my latest work at https://blorpblorp.xyz/, the obviously best client for Lemmy and soon PieFed.

One of my first exposures to technology was an iPod touch, and I went on to become a software engineer. Maybe it was the time? Perhaps I’ve just become older and grumpier, but technology once felt inviting to me now feels oversaturated and unnecessary. Like do we really need ChatGPT? Does it really make things better or just solve other problems that technology created?

This is kinda a bad take imo. I don’t think it’s chrome books that has ruined tech literacy. Maybe it’s younger exposure to even more addictive social media than previous generations?

I’m pretty young. My first mobile device was an iPod touch 4th gen. I figured out how to jailbreak it and I was like 12 at the time. If I ever felt one of these walled garden devices was holding me back, I enjoyed finding a creative solution around that. Since that iPod touch, I jailbroke my Wii and recently a kindle. I also modded a gameboy, but that was different than jailbreaking.

You gotta take the wrapper off first obviously

Welcome to Lemmy!!! Idk if you saw this, but Lemm.ee is about to shut down. I would switch to Lemmy.zip.
