Sir, you have a dizzying intellect.
AntEaterto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish5·3 months agoThe site is still there, but the comment sections are no longer fun nor do you find intelligent feedback as frequently as you could in the early days. Last time I was poking around there, the mods were upvoting climate denial comments. So much for science. (source: low uid)

They’ll use that to further cut corners on the materials or other design considerations.
What country? They didn’t say the country!
Such a mystery!

What’s the academic terminology for “go pound sand”?
AntEaterto Technology@lemmy.world•[rant] I want computers to become personal againEnglish1·8 months ago30 years using Linux - most of that time as a Linux sysadmin. and this is unfortunately true. I got on the Apple ecosystem 20 years ago because I wanted to removed the sysadmin work from my non-work time and it does that quite well. I find most commercial technology to be a faustian bargain with my free time vs. my ethics.

Contrary to what you seem to have understood with my previous post, I’d be absolutely fine with this.
AntEaterto Memes@lemmy.ml•adblock on mobile is 95% the only reason I use firefoxEnglish3·8 months agoI will block any and every ad I possibly can using all technology available to me. Does that break someone’s business model? Too bad. Do I care if all this glorious ad-sponsored content goes away forever because of the actions of me and others like me? Not even a little bit. In fact, I will welcome the day that ad blocking gains enough momentum that it causes businesses to go under or restructure their entire operational model. If ads are the only way something can exist, then it deserves to die.
In case it wasn’t clear enough: I don’t care.
I’ve been working in the IT/Internet industry for over 30 years, in one form or another. I understand how things work and I probably have a better perspective than most on how dysfunctional we have become.

I wish Mozilla would just strip all the extraneous junk from Firefox aside from what is truly necessary for web browsing. No crypto, no Pocket, no chatbot integration, nothing AI related, etc. Any and all additional features should be implemented via optional plugins. They could rename the project something like Phoenix or Firebird or something like that.
AntEaterto Programming@programming.dev•Which protocol or open standard do you like or wish was more popular?English3·8 months agoorg-mode is awesome for many reasons, but the similarities/overlap with markdown are an incidental benefit. I wouldn’t learn org-mode for that reason, however there are many other good ones that make it worthwhile. I’ve been using it for years for my own project management, tasks tracking, notes and many other things - it’s one of those rare tools that can do many things incredibly well.
So intuitive!
It’s more a system of an abuse and profit than speficially “medical”. That anyone gets better is purely a marketing/sales feature.
As an American, I wanted to read this but I got distracted and then bored because it’s just text.
I hope they listen to him and/or he starts directing how they should do things from the ground-up.
I hate Windows and would love to see ruined too.

That’s actually not true. We don’t go around correcting women.
