They are run by professionals who should know what they’re doing. Normies at home could be attacked by the same viruses and exploits.

What about the security implications to all the Linux users? If the EU switches to Linux, it’s suddenly going to become a significantly larger target for hackers and virus programmers. So far, we’ve been kinda flying under the radar, but that could change.

Best of all, since it’s “made in America”, all of that money will definitely support American manufacturers. None of that money will be going to China.

Janet’s tears weren’t just about loss; they were the raw, ugly realization that the system she’d championed had no loyalty to people like her spouse.

There’s the root cause. Next time, don’t expect the system to have any loyalty towards anyone.

So… cold war 2? Hybrid war? What should we call this?

LOL yeah.

But seriously though, ads are deigned so that companies find more customers. Who cares what the customers want, need or buy. As long as the company gets the money, it’s ad money well spent.

Username (top right corner), settings, scroll down... Keep on going... There! Sort type: top hour.

If you're using a mobile client, it's also somewhere in the settings. Probably buried deep.

Using a blacklist approach seems to be very popular, but here's an alternative for those who want to try something different.

Subscribe to all the communities you consider worth your time. Change the setting of your default feed so that home=subscribed. When you're just casually browsing, you'll see posts from the communities you've explicitly approved, so you can be pretty sure that you won't be seeing stuff you don't want to be exposed to.

If you want to discover new and interesting places, there are actually a few communities specifically for that purpose. (!newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca) Just subscribe to those, and your home feed will introduce you to new things from time to time. If you want to see shitposts, politics, memes or a combination of all three, you can always visit the "all" feed.

Mosquitos are known for being pretty big on penetration. It’s their thing, and they’re always the active participant.

This should cover it fairly well.

I don't know about you, but I've been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I'm concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.

Risky comment of the day. Maybe they just don’t like to hear what I have to say. Maybe I could have been a little less blunt about it. Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Have you noticed that many quotes attributed to famous people are actually incorrect? When someone sends me one of these fancy quotes of profound wisdom, it looks really suspicious to me if:

  1. It’s a picture (as in, not text in a technical sense)
  2. It’s attributed to someone famous
  3. There’s a picture of that person
  4. There’s no source

When I start looking into it, I usually end up reading a quote investigator article that says the original line was written a few hundred of years ago, got mutated many times along the way, and eventually was coupled with the name of someone like Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein or whatever.

BTW I put that picture together using Imgflip’s meme generator. Seemed appropriate.
