Me not logging into facebook doesn’t require discipline. I haven’t done it in…

checks time

…ever.

Now, I DO log into government nuke code websites. And I also check Burger King’s website. Just to see if they still sell burgers.

As of last week…they do!

I heard Zuckerberg is poop.

Eh, not my best effort, but I’m tired. I just pushed a 600lbs man 2/3rds of a mile while he told me trump was going to save us all.

He never clarified from what trump would be saving us from. Probably because he himself hasn’t been told yet from Fox News. Because it’s more profitable for Fox News to make vague threats in the world, never define them, but pass them off as immediate danger. That way, if they’re ever brought to court, they can truthfully claim that at no point have they ever reported the news. Instead they claim they are a fictional entertainment channel. That’s real. That happened. Fox News, under oath, openly stated that they do not report facts, and are an entertainment company. They were forced to admit under penalty of pergury, that they have as much journalistic integrity as The Onion.

But it would be so great if there were some mark they could use, by convincing him that theres an enemy from within. Then put that man in the white house. I mean, can you imagine??? Manipulating a narcisist who happens to be the president, into doing whatever you want by feeding him, and the rest of the nation, a never ending series of lies? And as an entertainment company, you have zero obligation to report factually and objectively. Instead you can lead him down whatever path you want!!! COULD YOU IMAGINE???

Ok. Back to reality. Zuckerberg is poop.

They don’t even give us lube!

It’s fiiiiiiine! What’s the worst that could happen?

Microsoft: heh heh heh, looks like you’ll be paying me $30 for that windows 10 installation.

Me: Bitch, I’m on Windows 7, and keep ignoring the OS bitching at me to turn the firewall on!

Here’s a crazy fact. Take a digital only ps5 slim. Remove the cover. Insert a disc drive. Now place the ps5 slim disc version cover on.

You now have upgraded hour digital only ps5 to the disc version of the system. And it was desibned to have interchangable covers.

Sony is actually leaving money on the table by not selling custom colors covers, or even different designs with video game characters. They could just as easily sell them for $20 for a full system pack, or $10 for just the 1 plate, so you can mix and match colors.

I wouldn’t exactly call what I was complaining about my first week reposts, but I definately had system shock while I was still figuring out how things worked.

I’d see 3 different communities, all about the same topic, and I’d subscribe to them all.

Well, if you have 3 communities all focused on the same subject, when there’s breaking news about that subject, they’re all going to post that same news story.

So in my feed I’d see the same url posted from 3 different instances. It’s not exactly a repost, but it feels the same.

I still don’t know what the solution for that is. Feels less like a me problem, and more like a systems concept problem. Instead of having 3 communities with 3 users each, I feel like it’d be better to have 1 combined community with 20 users.

Now you may be saying “heeeey, wait a second! 3+3+3 doesn’t equal 20!!!”. In which case, congrats, you passed American public school high school. But I feel like one community with more users to start with would attract more users going forward. Kind of like a snowball effect that a single split community of 3 never got the snowball rolling on.

I like the idea of decentralized, I DON’T like the idea of fractured, and there is a difference. Right now, Lemmy feels like both.

So you take the good, you take the bad, you roll it up, and what’dya get? The facts of life…the facts of life…

Wait …is this why AI exists? So we can type Hamlet in the face of monkey failures?

Dude. Just use a printer.

I’m only 41 years old.

This recievier has been working for my whole life, goes out of service 15 billion miles away, turns on a backup reciever, and is now back in contact with NASA.

…but the ice cream machine at McDonalds is still broken.

My screen says WheelchairArtist. What am I missing?

Soooooo, like do you design artistic looking wheelchairs? Or do you lay down a big white tarp, roll the wheels through paint, and then roll on the tarp making a painting?

Either way, I’ve never even THOUGHT that could be a thing, but it seems so cool.

…wait…that username…are you…?

Exactly! Yes!

I get downvoted everytime I point out that a healthy network comes with users. Lots of users. Users of all kinds. Users you don’t agree with. Users you do agree with. I said that the userbase of threads being on Lemmy would be a culture clash, but it would be a sign of a growing fediverse concept.

Everyone else says if the threads users federated with Lemmy, they would personally block the instance. Which just shows how much of a bubble the people here want to live in.

I work at an airport. You will never see a more diverse group of people from a bigger selection of places than at an international airport. I don’t agree with all of them. I don’t agree with the majority of them. But I can converse with them. I can make small talk for 10 minutes.

I treat the fediverse as I treat the real world. I wouldn’t look at these people and say “You’re banished from my existence for having conflicting politic or religious beliefs! Begone from my presence! You do not deserve to exist in my world!”

But thats how people here treat “outsiders” or “normies”.

I want the fediverse concept to grow. I want the idea of a concept that’s immune to corporate ownership by design to BE normalized.

Because right now, it’s a niche interest that 98% of people have never heard of. Corporations want to keep it that way…if they’ve even heard of the Fediverse. They might to be too busy exploiting labor, and polluting the planet with their private jets and resource sucking plants located in places that already have water shortages.

Yes I’m talking to you Nestle, and you Starbucks CEO. I don’t know how this comment turned into a rant against them specifically, but fuck Nestle, and fuck Starbucks.

Now THIS is a lady I can get behind! She’s over here talk about sucking ass!

Not to dox her or anything, but I Think I Found A Video Of Her

Oh, if you follow the channel, it’s CLEAR someone, probably just the one person, has a clear vendetta against Henry And Jeannie (MXRPlays). They used to know one person at youtube. So when they’d get their channel strike, they’d email him, and he’d review what the strike was for.

It was stuff like “Advocating child harm”.

The guy would look at the video in question, and see no evidence of that. No children in the video. No discussions of child harm. Any human without a grudge could see it was a false autobot ID. So he would remove the strike. Then the next day, the strike would be back. He’d email the guy, and the guy would look through the logs, and find it was done by a human working for youtube. He’d remove the strike again, but he’d tell them "I can’t remove it again. If he puts the strike back, it goes above me. Then the strike would be put back…and it would have to be waited out. The strike stays on your account I think they said 30 days. And if you get 3 strikes at the same time, the channel gets suspended.

So they wouldn’t upload any more videos, and then 3 days later they’d get another strike on a video that was 4 years old. Clearly not a bot, since bots generally don’t seek out old content with no activity.

And the same situation would ensue. They hung on, and kept doing this cat and mouse game for 8 years. Until the guy they knew at youtube left the company. And then they had no one to delete strikes. Any calls to anyone at youtube were ignored. And the channel wasn’t even suspended, it was terminated.

And when this other guy is reuploading their old stuff on his own personal channel, youtube says they have no way to DMCA it because the original source file, the proof that he has to say it’s his content, was deleted. Because his channel was terminated.

Basically they go on reddit, and will browse subs like “instant regret” or “maybe maybe maybe” or “yes yes no”. Basically just subs where people post videos of themselves, doing whatever. Essentially it’s just Americas Funniest Home Videos, but with their commentary using reddit as the source of the videos.

So, I’m not sure anything is actually “copyrighted”.

This guys over here using his fingers to rip out his own eyeballs!!!

I mean you joke, but they’re literally doing that to reaction video channels. MXRPlays had his entire channel deleted, despite having millions of subscribers. It was clear for years that someone at youtube had a grudge against them.

Especially since they deleted their channel. Gave strikes to all their videos, and took the videos down. Buuuuuuut, someone ELSE illegally reuploaded their content, and they can’t even report the video because their channel is deleted. The illegal re-uploads have no strikes, no issues, the content stay up, and some OTHER person makes money off of MXRPlays years old content.

looks at twitter

Yeah. Billionaires buying social media platforms. What could go wrong?

And that era started in the 1910s.
