YouTube shorts are awful. Most of them are just incomplete YouTube videos.

I know this is a bad take, but my hate for PHP is why I’m in Lemmy.

Why would they need you to send a message to collect your IP? They can send any request to their servers. Plus, what can they do with the public IP? Just know your general location, that’s it. It’s not like it tells them exactly where you live.

Ah yeha, sorry, didn’t read the Mobile Services Manager. But this is a common malware attack though.

This is definetely malware. OP has probably been doing funky stuff with his phone.

I’m inclined for the second one. It would be pretty big news if they fixed it. My hardware is not bad but it isn’t great either. I usually get laptops from my workplaces so my personal laptop is kinda old.

Keep in mind that a lot of people use Linux exactly because they don’t have good hardware specs.

I have installed Firefox in my machine and the difference is around 3 seconds.

For me, how my system feels is pretty important. If something isn’t snappy, my stress levels start to rise. So those 3 seconds do make a difference. Some people might not care at all, which is understandable.

If you don’t care, use it, enjoy it. You’re free to pick what matches your priorities and preferences.

I use Ubuntu. I think it’s funny how Arch users immediately assume they know more about Linux than me because of my distro choice. My hobby is learning about Linux and I can do that perfectly from my Ubuntu machine.

I’ve used Arch in the past, and let me tell you, nothing crazy is going on in there.

Yes, Ubuntu sucks because they are forcing Snaps on people while snaps are slow as hell. Thankfully they haven’t fully shoved snaps down our throats. If they don’t make snaps faster before shoving them down my throat, I’ll just distro hop. Probably to Debian. I love Debian.

You just need to use them for a few weeks to get used. Then you won’t be able to go back.

It’s strange how seeing a man in a skirt or kilt feels so off. Like, my brain just fires an alert for some reason. It’s just a freaking piece of cloth, wtf.

We are so brainwashed.

Don’t you guys get like an incredible amount of spam via SMS? It became kinda like email but worse.

I can’t block the short numbers companies use to send SMS because they are usually using a third party SMS service. So, different companies can send messages that arrive with the same number. If I block an SMS ad, I might be also blocking an important SMS alert from my bank warning some security issue.

Oh, I see. Yeha, sending SMS here was expensive when WhatsApp showed up.

There are very weird limitations in IPhone apps. The only reason I’d buy an IPhone would be the photo quality. But I don’t take photos so mhe.

Why are you guys texting? Don’t you have WhatsApp or Telegram?

I haven’t sent an SMS since 2012. What is going on in the US?

It’s missing the “wahmen ☕” kick, but checks out as grandpa material.
