grapes are food…

I get these are jokes but I really don’t find anything funny about it, it becomes a meme and then people start getting more creative and pushing it more and being more covert and people come up with other little japes then new Linux users get their shit destroyed and maybe important info gets lost or precious memories so they say Linux is a piece of shit and go back to windows.

It’s not even funny to start with so when it inevitably inspires people to be assholes and bullies that’s all we’ve achieved.

copied from the original post but was exactly what was going through my mind

I believe the general consensus is that hooking a smart TV to the Internet is generally a bad idea.

I mean the Vero V seems to be a nice polished experience. It’s just a lot of work to setup a linux box and get it to work, the latter being the hard part. The wiimote and the flirc have some comments in reviews about being poor experiences, and I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap. I don’t mind paying a little bit extra for a finished solution, and it seems like a plus that the Vero is a community/libre project.

I would 100% do this (minus the pirating part) if there was a way to get a tv style remote for the box. That’s the biggest obstacle for me because I’ve never been able to find a PC/tv remote and non technical users will be using the TV.

I’d like just one piece of technology that doesn’t use my information to sell to the highest bidder.

fuck off mate, g’day

lol, top cat is standing up on two feet. Definitely can confirm the physics are plausible.

temporal displacement obviously

I think since Lemmy is still very low on content, so any restrictions should be light. Right now Lemmy is in the wild west phase, and it’ll probably be like that for awhile until there is more content.

A long list of rules and requirements worked great on a subreddit with a million people, but right now I think less rules is better for the time being, at least until there are multiple posts a day.

there is no such tool to tag a post as such, the mod tools are still very limited. It’s either remove or approve, and it’s hard to draw where that line should go sometimes.

Ubuntu shouldn’t be with those who care about privacy. Snap is completely integrated into Ubuntu now.

They’re going to be just as bad as Apple, Google or Microsoft if they’re given the market share. Corporations care only about one thing.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

oh, it’s kinda scary ban from community is right next to appoint as mod. Seems like that needs some improvement ;)

how are the mod tools on Lemmy? I created a test community and I don’t see where the moderator tools are even located

Unfortunately opinions do not always match.

If a large group of people do not agree with the direction the Lemmy devs are making, why not get together and create a new site forked off Lemmy’s source code?

It seems like the fediverse is a return to a more liquid internet, similar to the early internet of the 90s. A lack of existing large infrastructure here is actually advantageous for new sites to startup.

I thought 401k money was held at the financial institution the account is with, how did your company steal it?
