Im watching YouTube with chromecast sometimes and its constant ads that just comes more and more often the more you watch a video. The entire service screams it wants me to stop watching. And I do, normally i just watch one or two videos and then the ads are too much. I get angry by the interruptions.

On ads i turn the volume down to zero and intentionally stare at the counter so I dont even know what ad they are playing. I hate them.

I remember that Netflix thing, yeah. Its still around?

Sure, but we have been running the same Linux command line tools now for the 30 years ive been on Linux. None of them have had any noticable bugs and none of them have been replaced, until maybe now recently with some rust versions that are still not default.

They are incredibly actually. We dont have that in software engineering anymore. We add features and bloat to all modern software until it needs to be replaced.

No no, account was wiped over three years ago. :)

Why can i still browse reddit on mobile Firefox with no popup… Is this only in America or something.

That was why the movie was so good. He was not a hero. Just some farm boy without ego, without oneliners. What movie today has that…

I think demos work. It was the entire reason i paid for planet crafter. I knew it was a fun game because of the free demo, and the demo let me play for several days so I got very hooked.

The usual playbook.

For me its not important if the community is convinced. :) I always make my own decisions in life and sometimes its against what the community thinks.

Thats good. I just learn shallow stupid stuff on here myself. Top topics are memes, big tech dystopian stuff and Trumps daily shocking statements.

Yeah sure, but it has no hope of changing any opinions. But I agree. It can be a fun activity anyway to pass time.

Car racism, that term made me smile. :)

On a related topic, most cars today are white, gray or black. Other colors are rare. Its said to be because people think those colors are elegant. I just think they are boring for cars…

I try not to argue with people on the internet. Its a complete waste or time and im actually surprised by how many people do it.

I dont think you can change anyones mind with comments.

I noticed the lag but I just figured it was intentionally put there against Firefox. Still dont see ads so im happy with whatever.

I think some people would like that actually. In Sweden where I live, a new gender neutral word called “hen” has been introduced as “human of unspecified gender”, and its encouraged to use that instead of saying him or her, to avoid “bias”. Which is what the previous poster talked about.

And American attitude is turning the world away from them. If China comes up with good chips, I think they have a huge market. People dont trust US technology now.

Huawei made excellent laptops until US shut them down. Its always the US. And they are always spreading fear about China spying, while having backdoors into American technology themselves.

You also lose the ability to understand the world. By removing typing ( I guess its called that?), you turn black and white into gray. You remove differences that are there, and you make the language less specific.

If someone asks you if your baby is a female or a male, you are feeling content saying its a human?

Or if someone asks you if their colleagues will be mostly male or female if they go into nursing, you will say it doesnt matter?

It does matter. Gender matters.

Whats the obsession with not gendering things? There are differences between male and female behavior. Maybe not in this case, but I see a lot of people on Lemmy who wants genders to not be specified at all.

I like having genders. I like our differences. To me its normal. Im not going to change my language. Absolutely not going to say humans when I mean a male or a female.

Yeah could be. But yes, that article was ok their front page for about 30 minutes, then other news replaced it. And to me, this is an article that should create a massive reaction in the public. But nope, nobody cares.

I think so, but people want to do it for a high profile site like reddit. Not so much for Lemmy.
