You can discuss politics without engaging in it 24/7. There is nothing wrong with going to something like reddit or Lemmy and not wanting to add it to the list of places where all you see is politics. It’s easier on reddit, because the sheer volume of content, but it can be done here too.

I don’t personally care here on Lemmy, it’s a better format for discussion than some places (not that I discuss it, though I’ll read it). But in my case, I used to go to imgur all the time. For me it was a place to share memes and other jokes, you got a bit of community, it was smaller than reddit, Twitter, and all that. But it got to be non stop politics. They even added filters you could toggle on to the site, including a political one. It helped but even then the stuff still got through. Over time I stopped using the site and eventually deleted the app as it wasn’t my funny little meme site anymore.

And i largely agreed with the overall community, like most places it was a circle jerk most of the time. But being like this didn’t accomplish anything (as we all can see). At best, maybe some people there didn’t “switch sides” when Donald showed up.

Maybe the poster just wants a place where they can get a break but still be social. They’re not getting at X or bluesky, they’re definitely not getting it on Facebook or threads. Reels, TikToks, and shorts are dependent on the almighty algorithm and aren’t very social for most users. Mastodon, yeah i guess, but i know i find it’s harder to find communities than on Lemmy (plus your points, which are valid, apply there too). Where should they go.

There was a huge influx of users when reddit broke third party apps, I have to imagine that was larger than reddit bans. But then not everybody stuck around so who knows.

I know a guy who just throws it out.

Nice recovery

I setup a matrix server and cannot for the life of me get a turn server setup so I tried to use the free one there and I can’t even get that to work.

Can you point me in the direction of doing this in jellyfin? I keep finding guides and things for tailscale and whatnot but I too would like to just be able to install jellyfin on something and connect to my server.

I can’t help with approaching your sister, but you very obviously did nothing wrong. It’s not even approaching inappropriate from your end. From what I’ve seen, it’s pretty common for someone in your sisters situation to try and put the blame on you instead of her husband. I don’t know why.

Anecdotally, I watch reels on Instagram (i know) and the vast majority of meme pages that it shows me are the exact same setup around a slightly different premise, with the same purchased comments pinned from the same accounts or the accounts comment saying something like they’re too broke for paid comments please like.

80% is probably high but I wouldn’t be that surprised.

I vaguely remember talk about companies like Google having software that fixes/writes code and that was ages before LLMs.

Record your screen next time you plan on an order. That way you’ll be positive.

It depends, if they’re using copilot through their enterprise m365 account, it’s as protected as using any of their other services, which companies have sensitive data in already. If they’re just pulling up chatgpt and going to town, absolutely.

I think that reeses peanut butter cups aren’t very good. Make that political.

They usually cover weather too i think.

Sure, but i enjoy not knowing and maybe being caught off guard, rather than reading every scene with a character like “is this it? Is it happening now?”

(Are scenes still called “scenes” in a book?)

This is basically a forum, people discuss things on forums. There are statistics that you provided and now they’re discussing them.

All of this existed (except the bit about nazi coins) already. There’s a legitimate use for crypto, to support something you use and (probably) enjoy, and you want them to remove it to set a good example?

That’s a shame, looks like he ran one of the many companies around at that time that would offer a “free” scan because you’re “at risk” and then harass you to buy it after. For a guy who was involved in some competent software during a time when Microsoft made decent products it’s a shame he left to start that nonsense.

In any case, the insight into Microsoft in the video i still find interesting but yeah fuck that guy. Wouldn’t buy anything from him, even if it has been 20 years.

It’s growing popularity here, where people praise it constantly. If the average person gets sick of Microsoft’s shit they’re probably just going to Mac.

Having been with android since it’s first mainstream phones (and not rooting), a lot of those were made up non issues over the years and I’ve consistently been at parity or better with ios, with one exception - God damn fucking Google recreating their own messaging apps to be separate and worse and then shutting them down when they fail! Now with every company’s nonsense AI push you have Google replacing assistant with Gemini, which does less and their LLM is clearly the worst (hence the Google search result memes), and this messaging thing. Modern Google is the worst thing to happen to android.
