Happily using Linux at home. Played some elden ring today, and the original fallout last week. Did some writing in libre office. It’s fine. And free. I never have to tinker with it.

I don’t know what it does on Lemmy but I’m clicking the gold star on this reply

Google is run my by assholes and idiots. Break it apart.

Edit: fixed silly typo

I feel like we should run honeypots like this, and anyone who falls for it goes right to, like, therapy and “how not to be scammed” training.

WhatsApp, sms, and Google chat (hangouts? Meet? The thing built into Gmail)

None of them are great.

One of my friends is some sort of neurodivergent and just… won’t install signal. It’s “too much”. I don’t understand this. It’s 30 seconds of “click this link I sent you, then click install”.

The “american dream” has always had a problematic contradiction. You should work hard. Working hard is good. You should work hard so you don’t have to work anymore. Working sucks and you don’t want to do it. You want to be the guy on a golf course getting money while those hard working people assemble widgets for you.

Well, which is it then?

The freedom was always kind of dicey. Sedition act of 1798, for example.

Women also historically had a bad time of it. And the native peoples. Queer folks, too. Religious freedom is hit or miss.

It’s been pretty good for wealthy people, historically. They’ve been pretty free.

I’ve seen some funny comments, but the ones that are like “ur so hot” are baffling.

It seems like their calculations always return high prices. I can’t think of any service that has had the price drop significantly.

Why would they lower costs when they can just not do that?

Having these self driven cars run by private profit driven companies seems like a bad idea. Infrastructure, which this is trying to be, should not be private.

Cool. Been on Linux for a couple years. No real complaints. No tinkering. It just works and is a boring-ass plasma kde desktop environment.

Reddit could have just continued on a place with good user generated content. Could’ve been profitable and popular. Instead they shitted it up. So fuck it. I hope their leadership suffers.

Fuck. Fuck all this AI slop.

Google is run by assholes and fools. They should be broken apart.

It didn’t just happen like the stars moving overhead. People with names and bones did it.

I have to admit I was wrong - a shit-load of google docs are also visible on search. I wasn’t aware it works this way. That’s really bad. I found so many people’s resumes!

Does it say they posted it on the Internet?

Google Docs has a “anyone with a link” sharing option. I would not expect setting that and texting my friend the link to result in the document contents being indexed for searches.

I would not assume “anyone with a link” includes people who do not have the link.
