Yeah, I don’t think neither Firefox nor Chrome do that on Linux

Edge runs in the background so it opens faster when you click a link somewhere. Chrome and more recently Firefox do the same.

Imagine: pirating ebooks but donating money to the author at the same time. Win win.

Can you actually download a torrent without seeding it?

He didn’t even kill. He’s innocent.

Me too. When I read “season pass” my mind goes to scams and games riddled with in-app purchases. No thanks.

Good luck from Italy. I hope you don’t end up with a nazi party… again.

Yes, I also hate it!

The Italian version of Excel had the brilliant idea of translating the MID() function into STRINGA.ESTRAI(), which means “extract string”.

Seriously, what the fuck.

I think Lemmy should display a simple warning on sign-up that everything you post on the fediverse can’t be reasonably ever deleted, because it’s going to be shared to possibly infinite different parties.

Yeah, that’s what I also wonder. Lemmy is still too small to attract any attention from regulators, but I wonder how the GDPR would work with federation.

There are some differences with normal social media though: every instance is managed by different people, so in theory you would have to ask every federated instance for your data to be deleted.

Or, maybe, posting on the fediverse may be compared to spreading pamphlets with your messages to many different people; you can’t expect a reasonable way to “recall” everything you shared with the public.

I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer. But it’s going to be interesting. Meta, in the meantime, decided not to risk it at all and their fediverse integration just doesn’t work in the EU.

As Elon Sucks says, “you’re the media now”.

Yeah. I think that Russians feel the same inside of their country, because they’re been fed with propaganda.

Probably a new smart way to force sell you printer ink.

P.S. buy a Brother printer instead

Yeah, that’s sad, but in this case the product itself squashed the startup, not HP.

“Free speech but only when it’s aligned to my objectives”

Yes, me too. My phone is always silent and with Do Not Disturb on. Only few family contacts can get through, and only with a phone call.

I don’t even know what’s the sound of the notifications of my phone. It’s blissful.

I’m waiting for a Mario.

Explain more, what is this pink stick? I’m out of the loop.

History is doomed to repeat itself.

I didn’t say we should stop immigration. But everybody can see that some immigrants don’t come to Europe to work, not at all. And people are angry about that; left wing parties should tackle that problem in a rational way. Otherwise people get fed up and then they resort to vote for extreme right wing parties.
