Before clicking I already assumed microsoft and sony were going to be named as options, who are arguably worse companies. While Nintendo is doing shitty stuff, I don’t see the equal uproar against the other companies. My only assumption is Nintendo’s strict stance against emulation is clashing with lemmy’s pirate culture.

I was just needing to rip apart a pdf for content the other day. Good to know.

Surprised how low this is. I was certain it would be the top pick.

Which is why I think people on lemmy need to get used to the fact that their data isn’t theirs to own on something that is so public facing like this. Instead we should reteach people to be conscious of what information they post. Once upon a time even A/S/L was too much info.

Which is fine, if that’s what the general consensus ends up being (I generally disagree with deleting knowledge, but that’s my own opinion and not up to me really), but then this should/will never be a place for knowledge and only just casual conversation. A lot of people on lemmy want it to replace reddit in terms of search results, but it may never be that.

Disassociating with old comments and posts would be a good way to go, but I’m not really sure that’s an option for the fediverse? In theory couldn’t someone in the future set up an instance whose sole purpose is just back up and collect data? How would someone even go about trying to erase themselves from a situation like that?

There is one worry I have about Lemmy being the knowledge of anything and it’s what happened on reddit. Many people went through and nuked their comments, essentially making many posts useless. There are already people here on lemmy that delete their profiles, comments and start over every few months. Not really sure what that means for all the federation, but I assume different instances may have different versions of deleted information in the long run?

I lived in Cincinnati over a decade ago and back then they were accepting of different people. Columbus is 3x the size so you should generally be fine. Just be aware of who you are spending your time with, and you are likely safer in numbers.

I have this mental issue with the number pad as well. My solve is having a separate number pad to the left side, which frees up the right side for the mouse.

I was unaware it sold at all. The changes over the last few years makes sense.

Doesn’t she straight up kill CEOs harming the Earth on the show?

It loads for me on voyager, but is unreadable.

You must be living in the Twilight Zone at this point.

You better hope the Bobs don’t come through your place of work looking to make changes.

Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I use the side door, that way my boss can’t see me. Uh, and after that, I just sorta space out for about an hour. I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I’m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too. I’d probably, say, in a given week, I probably do about fifteen minutes of real, actual work.

The thing is, it’s not that I’m lazy. It’s just that I just don’t care. It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Now, if I work my ass off and the company ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime. So where’s the motivation? And here’s another thing,I have eight different bosses right now!

So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That’s my real motivation - is not to be hassled. That and the fear of losing my job, but y’know, it will only make someone work hard enough not to get fired.

Now they are trying to offer me some kind of stock option and equity sharing program? I have a meeting tomorrow where I am probably going to be laid off.

Are they over their bankruptcy already?

This was going to be my comment. This place looks way too clean for something so full of graffiti.

Unfortunately yes. Instagram is tied to my industry and work, so I don’t think I’ll be able to fully get away from social media.

This was going to my answer as well. While spelling on the internet is pretty bad, English isn’t the primary language of many people on Lemmy.

This is ironically how I discovered I had this. I took off the glasses and took turns looking with one eye closed to see the effect. I randomly did it some time later without the glasses on out of curiosity and noticed there was still a slight color shift. Young me thought it was the 3D colored glasses that damaged my eyes.
