Genius or incredibly stupid?
  • The whole social aspect of Venmo is one of the stupidest things to have ever been created. I use Venmo because it's the most widely used platform, but all of my transactions are private.

    Do people even scroll through the public feed of their friends? Why does anyone care that their friend paid another friend (who they likely don't even know) $10 for a burger and fries? So fucking dumb.

  • Laptop won't shut down on any kernel version above 6.7
  • I had something similar happen to me with Debian 12. I believe pressing ALT + F7 after it reached that "power off" message forced the computer to power off. Something caused it to get stuck, but I'm not 100% sure. It may have been some bug with my Samba file share setup, but I have no way of confirming that.

    Not sure if this will work for you, but it's worth a try. Good luck and hope you solve the issue!

  • So like, what absolutely ridiculous thing did you take to be fact when you were a kid?
  • I believed it to be an absolute fact that all cats are female and all dogs are male. I had no idea how reproduction worked at this point, so it just made sense to me.

    Then one day, a classmate was talking about her cat and how "HE" had done something funny. I had to clarify, "Your cat is a boy?!?" and my entire understanding of animals was shattered that day.

  • Reddit's new paid ads look exactly like user posts
  • Yep, advertiser don't care how they got those clicks. They just want the numbers to go up so they feel like their "investment" is doing something. Tricking people into thinking it's user content, showing half naked girls for a dumb mobile gambling game, showing fake products... they don't care. Advertisers only have one thought: "Hurr Durr Numbers Go Brr"

  • Reddit wants to raise $748M with IPO, sets value at $6.4B
  • Every day the same thing ad nausea. Fascism bad. Sexism bad. Phobia bad. Musk bad. Orange man bad. Inflation bad. Boomers bad. Cats good. Name my rescue dog. Celebrity good. Celebrity dead.

    That's not just Reddit. That's the entire Internet right now. Reddit or Lemmy, X or Mastodon, Facebook or anything else on the Fediverse. It's all the same. We are living in a time of mass fear because of several different reasons. War, climate, economy, personal rights... pick whatever topic you want. There's a reason to be angry about it.

    We need to go back to the days of happy people sharing their passions, rather than angry people attacking each other. But that won't happen anytime soon.

  • Yuzu agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4 million and will entirely shut down
  • Basically every emulator developer will say that their platform is not for piracy but for backing up your legally purchased games, but it's usually just a "wink wink nudge nudge" type of thing for legal reasons.

  • Gender-affirming care clinic burned down in horrific arson: “This is terrorism”
  • Let's burn down their churches. They are a waste of space and energy. Being heated and powered 24/7 for only a day or two of worship services is incredibly frustrating, especially when there's a church on every block (in my location, at least).

    Let's build libraries and community centers and low-cost daycare centers on that land instead.

  • But I can't sleep
  • In this economy??

    Fabricated poverty and homelessness, medical and educational debts, corporate greed and consumerism, accumulating environmental issues that nobody with the ability to make change is willing to pursue, non-stop wars, political turmoil...

    I don't know. I think the dead have it better.
