And almost no firefox user wants to admit that, among the other things Firefox is flawed for. But, “IT’S NOT GOOGLE” is their only rationale.

Can we just fucking retire Captcha already? It can be defeated and there’s been proof of that. If it’s purpose has been defeated, then it is no longer of use.
The way I see something as ‘unpopular’ is that you have to feel strongly about it. I’ve studied the way some people have posted over on Reddit, on all unpopularopinion based subreddits like 10thDentist, TrueUnpopularOpinion .etc
What I’ve noted people of doing there is that they’re saying the opposite of what people prop as popular, for the sake of being the opposite. They don’t feel that strongly about it and you can tell. They’ll write a 2-liner post that is very dry, summarizing that they don’t like something because everyone else did, just through their own words. It doesn’t feel strong, doesn’t feel relatable or resonates anything.
I love opinions where someone points at something and has a very vibrant feeling towards it. I’m tired of any of them, unpopular or popular, that are along the lines of “I don’t know why I like it, I just do” and “It sucks because…it just sucks and I’ve got nothing to add to it”.
Someone will make that down the road, I’ll leave it to them.
God, Retire already! You’re not in the 80s anymore!
At least some bands from the 80s realized this, which is why they’ve spent some of their albums on experiencing new sound. Iron Maiden has done it, which is why they’re still awesome, they aren’t relying on their old reigns because they’re a talented band that can evolve.
Motley Crue, can’t do that. They’re a one-era trick playing pony.
Places like Flickr can go fuck themselves because they want 12-character password limits. 12! Some people can barely even remember a 6 string password much less one that’s 12.
Why 12? “SECURITY!” they’d spam. I’ve found it more secure to have a mix of special characters, lowercase/uppercase and numbers than the longer string of a password. Just means you’re going to increase the volume of people having to reset their passwords now and then because you required them to make it 12 characters long.
I don’t understand why people would like 12 characters…
I feel like with Lemmy, it’s harkening back to a period of the internet where you can approach it and put it down for later. It’s not yet constructed in a way like all of the other social media platforms, that want to keep you invested, even if you know what to expect. Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Twitter .etc all remind me of the days in the old internet, where you had web portals. These web portals were from MSN, Yahoo and AOL primarily.
They all had things there, to keep you attracted to them. They had their search engines, they had games, they had news, they had weather and many more things. All to keep you in one place and to keep you from venturing out to other places unless you used their search engines before Google became the juggernaut of that.
Social Media today, is designed now, to be like them. Except it’s worse because they’ve got algorithms in place that they extract the data from, i.e you, to pitch to you things that you may be particularly interested in just to keep you invested.
For all of the numbers those social media platforms have, they sure do say a lot of nothing.
For the most part, yes. But I have noted lately that I do get some snarky people coming in with dishonest and bad faith responses. They’re at least not as rampant as it would’ve been on Reddit. It’s discouraging and demoralizing when you’ve got, what feels like, 100 people downvoting you to hell and 50 of them are swiping at you before deleting their accounts and doing it again because they’re of the tribal mindset and you’ve somehow offended a part of the hive.
That worked for me as well. Anything else, I just kept getting error after error after error. So I’m not quite certain what’s going on. It appears that to me, it doesn’t like the format provided in this community on the sidebar.
I was proven wrong. What I did was that I looked into my modlog, took the snippet of “/c/web1”, applied it over the format example, while combining the link provided in your comment. It works perfectly.
I’ve been trying that but all I keep getting is errors.
If they’ve nothing to hide, then why are they so dodgy when things like lolicon are discussed? Their actions speak louder than their words ever could.
There is an age old practice from olden days of the internet. If you don’t want your nudes out there, if you don’t want your name out there, if you don’t want anything of you out there - you don’t put it out there. Because once it’s out there, you won’t ever know who’ll see it much less, have it. I always assume, that as soon as I upload a picture of myself somewhere on social media, someone would’ve had to have right clicked and saved it already. For what purpose? Who knows, could be a matter of some sick personal collector of people they particularly are fascinated with to potential murderers who’re only lacking my location but should they find me out in the open, they’ll know what I look like and probably kill me. And anything in between.
But so many people on Facebook, complain about how it is that they make new accounts and suddenly are presented with familiar faces to re-add as friends. Whether or not it’s a new e-mail to even a new location, Facebook knows you so well by now, that they’ll pitch you all of whom you’ve had, even if you don’t want them. That defeats the point of wanting a refreshing restart on your life when all you’ve got is reminders.
Black markets also exist that circulate your data. Why would one think that one day, they’re seeing a bunch of transactions that they didn’t authorize all of a sudden? Well, somewhere at somepoint, someone did seize your credit card or bank info and now is running hogwild on it.
They’re not worried yet because it hasn’t happened to them, but boy do the tables turn once people are affected by these experiences.
I take the opportunity to really tell these guys how I feel about this kind of shit popping up. You want some honesty and how you “value” feedback? Okay, here you go.
I keep forgetting why sometimes I even use Telegram. It’s just there. I don’t want their dumb subscription.
