I gave up on Reddit a lot more easily than you did, that’s for sure. When King Julian told us that our concerns weren’t worth a damn, and when he said he wanted to emulate what Elon Musk has done to, er, with Twitter, I decided it was time to make tracks. You don’t HAVE to let heartless tech billionaires fuck you in the ass for the convenience. I don’t find this dick in the ass very convenient.

Technology@lemmy.world•Twitter alternative Post News is shutting down
1·2 years agoSounds like Cohost is circling the bowl, too. And what happened to that social network started by two teenage girls? There were so many of these damn things I couldn’t keep track of it all. It was like the web search industry before the Google meteor struck.

Technology@lemmy.world•Hyundai pauses X ads over pro-Nazi content on the platform
222·2 years agoGee, who ever thought there would be racist content from a site owned by Apartheid Boy? And of course, he probably denies it exists in spite of clear evidence to the contrary. He literally defamed the Anti-Defamation League when they called him out on him jerking it to his Nazi fantasies. Then I think he cried to his mommy, who looks like the Bride of Frankenstein.
I keep thinking of ditching Kbin for Lemmy, because Kbin is down more often than I’d like, and I presume Lemmy is healthier. However, I’ve gotten quite used to this place, and am not eager to start anew elsewhere.
I was saying this over on YouTube… it’s his responsibility to report tech developments accurately and responsibly, because today’s tech developments are tomorrow’s history. Future nerds need to know the score! Scooty-Puff Junior suuuuuuuucks!

World News@lemmy.world•Everyone in Japan will be called Sato by 2531 unless marriage law changed, says professor
436·2 years agoJoke’s on you! Humans will be extinct by 2531. Maybe by 2031 if Trump becomes president again.

Technology@lemmy.world•Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investment
20·2 years agoBut they can’t sell you more shit if they didn’t have planned obsolescence baked in!
(It’s a little sobering realizing that technology is old enough to be, you know, OLD. Nothing about this is novel to anybody anymore. We’re way, way past being impressed by two lines batting a dot around.)

Technology@lemmy.world•Google has replaced the Google Assistant app on Android with Gemini by default
236·2 years agoIs this gonna be one of those tech bandwagon things that Google fails at so consistently? You know, like Google phones, Google Plus, Google Pay, Google Stadia, Google Your Poodle, etc.
Is this like the Linux nerds’ version of the Crips and the Bloods?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•My cat just died. What is the point of all this?
2·2 years agoLife sucks, no doubt, but you’re here and you have to get used to it. The best advice I can provide is slurp up all the good moments you can and savor the taste, so their memories will get you through the hard spots. Repeat until dead.
“If you don’t have these little ‘advertisements’ cleaned up by the time we get back, I’LL come to Quark’s… and believe me, I’ll have FUN.”
Man, now you just trollin’.
I get a laugh out of Sisko doing a silly child’s dance in Lethal Candyland, in that episode of DS9 when they make first contact with a bunch of gambling aliens. “Allamarane! Count to four! Allamarane! Then three more!” It’s those little moments in Star Trek where respected actors humiliate themselves for the sake of the plot that are just so great to watch. See also Armin Shimerman as the silvery announcement box in one of the early TNG episodes.
