Who would have ever thought they could stoop so low!

Oh wait, every single person on the face of the planet.

It's not the "only option", not by a mile. It's just convenient for you to say that it is so you don't feel so bad about giving money to the worst of the evil megacorps.

Astounding!

No one is "bringing back" landlines. What a fucking retarded claim to make.

I don't understand who the target audience for videos like this is. I could stand all of 30 seconds of it.

The point hinted at in the title is not part of this article. This is an overview of various versions and branches of UNIX, and nothing more.

I'm sure those pointing fingers will make Putin change course.

The corps will poison and corrupt this potential like they poison and corrupt everything of value. There is no hope of a brighter future, only corpo hell. We are powerless to stop them.

This site's "articles" are some of the most misinformed, misguided nonsense on the web.

A provider having more than 50 users and offering more than one service doesn't make them evil. Use Proton. They are the best, and they're not likely to disappear. If you intentionally seek out small services because you think being an underdog is some sort of privacy merit badge, you'll get "absolutely fucked" over and over again.

Also, you should consider paying for the products you use to encourage sane and user-friendly business models. But that's a different discussion altogether.

I think you need to read up on the reasons why services like GMail and Facebook are free.

How to sign up services without phone number?

Hello all, recently wanted to signup for temporary permanent legit emailmid in gmail. It was asking me Phone number in process, i tried to use multiple numbers from regular online resources ( more than 30) but nothing worked. I don't want to give my personal phone number in real life to someone's unless Its I want to....

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Don't use services that require you to enter a phone number if you are not comfortable with the providers of those services having your phone number. Do without.

Ran it through the corpo parseltongue translator.

Famously enthusiastic about tall hats, Caesar.

You do not own the domain yourself if you register it through Njalla.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

You are not wrong, but there is a reason that identification requirements exist for domain registration. In any case, however, at the end of the day a person who registers a domain through Njalla does not have ownership of the domain. This is not an insignificant fact no matter how you spin it. It's not your domain. You're blindly trusting someone whose credentials are to have pirated movies two decades ago with something that might potentially be tremendously valuable, if to no one else but yourself.

Unless you're literally doing something illegal, choosing Njalla over a regular vendor offering WHOIS privacy is to move beyond privacy consciousness into the realm of paranoid recklessness.

This week was a rebuild-everything week. Latest snapshot upgraded something like 95% of all my non-flatpak packages.

Musk says Tesla will hold shareholder vote ‘immediately’ to move company’s incorporation to Texas ( www.forbes.com.au )

Musk says Tesla will hold shareholder vote ‘immediately’ to move company’s incorporation to Texas::Billionaire Elon Musk justified the decision on the results of an unscientific poll run on his X account a day earlier.

What a fucking loser.

When I first switched to KDE, this issue took up roughly 15 seconds of my time as I saw what was happening and went exploring for the setting to change the behavior. Apart from having to change the setting again from time to time, I have spent exactly zero seconds thinking about it and exactly zero seconds wondering which approach was the "best" since then. I wonder how honest it is for this site to refer to a "debate"; it's hard for me to imagine anyone giving a shit beyond setting their own system up the way they like it.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Yes; my post is obliquely suggesting that people are ridiculous.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Equating a debate over the default behavior of mouse clicks—behavior that can be changed in ten seconds—with the very essence of the free software movement is so comically misguided as to be downright sad.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Imagine giving a shit about this classification.

I know absolutely nothing about TikTok, but as someone who has been alive since vinyl records were the standard vehicle for music, I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that Universal are the bad guys here. Record companies are the scum of the earth, absolute garbage human beings.

Any suggestions for overcoming addiction to capitalist big tech social media and streaming etc?

I've tried getting into peertube to have something to watch. I'm exploring copyleft music on open audio / funkwhale. I'm on here in lemmy as of this week. I'm playing with mastodon and the fediverse. I've tried studying psychology and psychology-adjacent territory like Deleuze and Guattari and Foucault and Derrida so I can break...

You're overcomplicating things. Make the changes that are possible, don't make the changes that aren't. There's no trophy for being an extremist. Live the life that makes you happy; that's the point of it all. If leaving social media makes you happy, do it. If it doesn't, don't. It's easy and uncomplicated.

darkmatternoodlecow ,

Half an article with the other half locked behind a paid subscription.

This site has a long history on Kbin and Lemmy of spamming poorly written, poorly researched articles. It is a trash site written by a 14-year-old who knows nothing about anything.

You're not necessarily missing out on anything. Most people find a distro they like and stick with it until some specific reason compels them to change, which might never happen. Distro hoppers are excited about Linux and excited about exploring different things and discussing them with others, which gives you the impression that everyone's doing it—but that's not true. It's a hobby, and you're free to adopt it, but there's no point to it other than to entertain and challenge you, if that's your thing.

Other services might suffer from the same problem, but Spotify's shuffler, for one, does not truly shuffle; it is useless, as is every other thing about Spotify. I can't think of another company that has an unbroken 17-year track record of making their client worse with every single update and every single new feature.

Anyway, use https://spotifyshuffler.com/ to shuffle your playlists.
