Seems like Trump’s strategy is to now bully countries into getting what they want. "I want them out!!! I want Canada!!! I want Greenland!!!
He’s basically the equivalent of the kid that flips over the monopoly table when someone bought a property before him.


Seems like the air smells quite… nautical.

you want to subject yourself to doomscrolling and unresticted data collection? go ahead. i dont give 2 shits


Ahh, replit. Wanna know how to completely destroy your service, community, workforce and reputation in less than a year? Ask them.
I used to use replit at the height of its popularity. If any of you know what Glitch was, it was like that but way cooler.
You could program in virtually every programming language, write Discord bots, make games, talk to people about coding and get viral from your programs. It was basically programming but with social media and with extremely easy to use text editor and theme support basically made Replit the #1 place to program on the Internet.
Then, the AI boom happened. And replit wanted quick cash immediately. So they up their subscription prices slightly with Replit Agent, basically ChatGPT but for programming. They then removed their school system, and decided to stop virtually all community support. Now a lot ot the top projects were AI based but at least you could progran right? Not anymore.
Halfway through 2024, Replit decided to kill the platform in one fell swoop. They restricted all free users to only 3 projects, 1 GB of storage and severely throttled CPUs as well. This made the replit userbase tank. They removed all community features and essentially ghosted everyone. Anyone with a brain abandoned replit and just programmed on their own computers.
It’s so sad what happened but hey, at least replit made people who would never program once in their lives programmers through ease of use and social factors.


Cool but why are country roads still 60?!


No but i dont care
I’ve been pirating for years. I just don’t want to pay for things


I know bad for democracy and everything but
This app has done nothing positive for my life, arguably began my social media addiction, filled my brain with negative content at the height of COVID and severely impacted my mental health
I don’t think governments should ban platforns. But do I think TikTok should have ever existed? No


Sharing photos was the point of the app 6 years ago. Now the point is to either meticulously modify yout online image to look like the coolest person on the world - or just spampost memes/porn/disinformation to get followers and brand deals


I sell my oranges for $15
Nobody buys them
I sell my oranges for $5
People buy them


Earlier this year, Microsoft introduced a so-called “Account Manager” for Windows 11 that appears on the screen when you click your profile picture on the Start menu. Instead of just showing you buttons for logging out, locking your device or switching profiles, it displays Microsoft 365 ads. All the actually useful buttons are now hidden behind a three-dot submenu.
How the fuck are people OK with this?!
IMAP only works with paid accounts


The only reason I even have a microsoft account is to play Minecraft. Other than that, most of their services have perfectly good alternatives that are a lot better IMO
I’m probably the only person in my entire school who knows what lemmy is lol


Gen-z here - I know how to torrent lol. It’s insane how tech illiterate a lot of my friends are, even in my IT classes don’t know what HTTPS is or what an ethernet cable is so… yeah
Feels weird being known as “the guy who’s an expert at computers” despite being a noob


Why are you using Lemmy then? Go back to reddit if you aren’t scared of them
