People complain about its complexity and the fact that it has everything including the kitchen sink, but that is exactly why I love it. It gives you choice.

Inaccurate, the manager is AI too.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.orgto Privacy@lemmy.ml•On Politics and Proton - a message from Andy424·6 months ago“Thought policing” is when you coerce someone to change their thoughts against their will. It is not boycotting a service because one does not agree with the service owner’s thoughts. That is not thought policing. That is a purely voluntary transaction on both sides, and that is one’s right as a consumer of said service. He is not entitled to customers.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.orgto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What are some privacy mistakes you've made?29·6 months agoUsing a VPN for torrents and forgetting to set it up to kill the network connection when VPN is lost. Got a couple “love letters” from my ISP that way.

TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.orgto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•It's a Unix system! Elon knows this!89·6 months agoOr, as is most likely, he is in fact, a big fat poser with everything. Shit like this is like the “code” I used to pretend write on loose leaf paper in elementary school that was just computery-sounding gibberish.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.orgto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•File failed to copy due to reason: Success8·6 months agoIn C/C++, it’s very common for a function to return an integer corresponding to any errors that occured within the function, including a “success” error code, because it has to return something, otherwise it’s undefined.
I’m not sure that’s what happened here but that’s why “successful” errors are a thing. Somewhere it got misinterpreted maybe.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.orgto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Proton is dead (for me). Let's collect and discuss alternatives! ✊🛡161·6 months agoWe aren’t in an age anymore where differing political opinions are harmless. People aren’t debating mere tax policies anymore. Wake the fuck up.
“Go away! ‘Batin’!”
TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Responds to Leaks: "Not Official"241·6 months agoBut in this case they have had their lunch eaten by the steam deck, Rog ally, etc.
I see tons of people still using the old Switch. I have so far seen none other than myself and my kid using a Steam Deck.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.orgto Technology@lemmy.ml•Mastodon CEO calls Meta's moderation changes 'deeply troubling,' warns users cross-posting from Threads12·6 months agoYes. But they didn’t have a megaphone to reach millions with one post. They were rightfully looked at as crazy assholes and mostly stayed in the dark.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.orgto Technology@lemmy.ml•Mastodon CEO calls Meta's moderation changes 'deeply troubling,' warns users cross-posting from Threads3·6 months agoThat’s the idea, overwhelm people with massive amounts of information and misinformation, and people start tuning out and not caring anymore. One thing I did learn from those “propaganda” sources of days past was that the Holocaust was real, a fuckton of minorities were brutally murdered, and Nazis are fucksticks who need to be stamped out at every opportunity.
That is something I’ve actually seen actively changing in the past 20 years. When I was a kid/teen, we never fucking questioned it. Now the Internet is full of Holocaust deniers. Just spreading that shit from person to person like a virus.
We didn’t blindly trust other sources either. Filtering and research is a skill you learn to use on any source of info you’re given. Public schools used to teach us how to do this. Do they not anymore?
TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.orgto Technology@lemmy.ml•‘Gift from heaven’: China astronauts develop super niobium alloy for aerospace2·6 months agoThe world’s space industry would be even more impressive if we didn’t have these stupid fucking hangups and worked together with them on that front. Just like Russia and the US working to build ISS.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.orgto Technology@lemmy.ml•Mastodon CEO calls Meta's moderation changes 'deeply troubling,' warns users cross-posting from Threads166·6 months agoBack in my day we were perfectly capable of checking our own facts. A rare skill these days.
I have an idea. Make it so every time you create a social media account, you have to check “agree” to a giant banner that says “if you take anything you see on here seriously, you are an idiot.”. That’s how we used to automatically treat things on the Internet at first glance.
“Maybe I’ll try learning more about C++ templates today…”
Wall of incomprehensible errors
“Maybe not.”
Yes, look out for the leg bombs.
