I’d rather watch the A-league

I deleted my account, remade another

Defended lgbt people and fought against racists

Got banned for being a bigot I think a few weeks later.

I have no idea why anyone would want to stay there, but I hope they do or the Lemmy communities will get overrun by nutjobs

There was no way to argue against the ban either. Seems that the current strategy is just reporting people who hate trump. As long as you have the right keywords, it might even be automated at this point

Whereas, on Facebook, nobody gets banned, and racist comments get promoted because they have the most engagement… and the racists whinge that Facebook is getting blocked for kids

Yeah

The biggest issue isn’t even that fb is no longer modding properly.

It’s that they’re no longer modding properly and shiity ragebait racist contact is being promoted because engagement drives it

AI was telling other people’s customers that we owned the other company at some point, so their customers were coming to us for support and telling us that we had to support them

And I’m constantly arguing with idiots who use AI.

Good

It’s the same cost as a car and high profit

It should deserve a bit more support then only 3-6 years

It’s a play gun that shoots. Basically, it’s something that Australias shittiest people use to help normalize guns

We only have 1 state in Australia that allows their sale I think, and meta happily lets them advertise everywhere. They don’t care. Sure it’s legal for them to do so.

They also happily promote our local right wing racists too, who get a lot of engagement

Even animal cruelty or porn meta cares very little. Lots of hunters with dead animals all over their profile promoting guns all over meta.

I’m not sure 12 year olds should be having that stuff pop up on their news feed. Even less the constant illegal incitements

For me, it’s generally when I travel up to hotham (a 4hour trip). As I need fuel too and always tend to stop at the same servo.

But yeah, I remember my first big Mac probably 25 years ago. It was incredible. Now it’s a limited edition

I got rid of my Xbox because steam felt better and Xbox still doesn’t have VR

The price hike didn’t really affect me tbh

McDonald’s is selling paper thin beef and costs more than your local cafe here in Australia

The standard has dropped a lot. I only go on a long car trip

Meta aren’t even moderating anymore.

That’s why they’re getting banned from everywhere

I’ve reported illegal incitement on numerous occasions and nothing ever gets done. I’ve reported violent incitement and it is never against community standards

We have gel blaster companies advertising to states in Australia where they are banned and vape companies using meta to push more vaping to kids

Fuck them

Pretty sure in Australia they might be too powerful for learners

I used to work for an apple reseller.

Apple devs were fairly normal people and were totally honest with us during developer training. I would happily have a beer with them

Some Apple sales managers were absolute cocks though. One of them treated me like an idiot one week in front of customers when I defended windows on Mac, and the next week, he was talking like he was a genius and repeated every argument I made the week before.

Apple talks lots of s*** about Linux. Absolutely don’t buy an Apple if you want a Linux system. The Asahi devs deserve a lot of respect though

Firefox. They basically were the ones who kicked off good browsers originally

They started selling 7 years ago the Mac Pro… but, only stopped selling 3 years ago apparently. Microsoft offered 10 years of support for Windows 10, and Ubuntu even offers 15 years.

Apple generally classes their products vintage after 6-7 years…

Normally, I’d say “fine”, but, this is now the second time they’ve done this within 20 years (they did it with the PPC -> Intel too), and the exact same way, and not all new apps are generally backwards compatible with the old CPU architecture either. So realistically, a lot of people are forced to upgrade regardless.

The Mac mini… Fair enough, its cheap. But, the Mac Pro was ridiculously overpriced (even the wheels cost $700 lol). You had to even pay extra money for 3 years of HARDWARE warranty.

The reality is, nobody knows is the Asahi breakage was intentional or not at this time. All we know is that Apple has contributed absolutely sweet F*** all to asahi Linux (despite it benefiting Apple primarily). The timing is interesting though…

They stopped selling the last Mac Pro and mac mini 3 years ago… So literally, their top end computer had 3 years of support of the latest OS (if you bought at the end of the cycle). And, they pulled this same BS from PPC to Intel, so, its not the first rug pull. And, its not like Windows hasn’t maintained excellent backwards compatibility otherwise (they still offer windows 95 backwards compatibility in a lot of cases in the latest OS). In fact, if your computer supports it, you also got a free upgrade to Windows 11 .

In this case, the Intel Macs include a T2 chip, so, its not like there is a valid security reason to break MacOS… They literally just blatantly screwed them (the Mac Pro was NOT a cheap computer).

Coincidenally, MacOS 27 beta breaks Linux too. https://www.phoronix.com/news/macOS-27-Beta-Breaks-Asahi .

He needs to rest so he can be awake to talk to his mates in Russia and organize more merch from China

The point is to look like he’s doing something

Biden/obama would just look at this stuff and say it’s illegal after examining it

Trump however can pretend like he used that same time to do something productive (and then blame the judges for costing him productivity). And, it keeps the Epstein files and his defamation case out of the news

In hiking groups every f wit is now making a app for certain long walks.

Same thing could be done in a spreadsheet

What brings me back to my uni days is getting a 0% on an AI assignment because the lecturer ran a poorly written script and if you crashed that script, he’d have to manually restart it (which was what he was upset about… doing his job. He didn’t even check the code, or try to run each test independently).

And now AI is about writing buggy code that regularly crashes and performs poorly.

The crap I learnt in AI turned out to be totally useless anyway (especially Lisp, which we had to learn ourselves and nobody ever uses)

Reddit ads have been misleading trash for years

This is nothing compared to the fact that you can’t use Reddit on mobile unless you use their app anymore… Which is probably why no respectable company would want to pay for ads on Reddit (seriously, who limits their audience in that way)

They’ve gone full meta recently, and the moderation sucks worse than ever in general too
