It is bad. Something can be bad and cure people. You see, you are just committing logical fallacies.
Chemotherapy IS poison. It is cytotoxic. The goal is to kill the cancer before it kills the patient, but it is toxic.
A similar argument can be made for the use of bots, as was my showerthought.
Chemo is like poison and you hope it kills more cancer than normal cells, that is not always the case. Not a great example for your argument.
That is the whole point lol
Ya, probably. And they sure have more money to spend on it.
Chemotherapy is bad. A patient is dying from cancer. Patient receives chemotherapy and lives.
Chemotherapy is bad, more chemotherapy is good? What?
I find tuta.com much better than proton. I always found proton unnecessarily expensive.
Wait, why does lemmy.ml block infosec.pub, lemmy.cafe and programming.dev? All these seem innocuous?
I would love to watch something like The Walking Dead, but more chill. More to do with building a community, and re-imagining society. Surviving the zombies would be a topic, of course, but without all the extra evilness of the remaining humans.
And episodes that don’t force me to increase my TV’s brightness to the max.
I am still at a loss of words over the fact that the US has a rapist pedophile as president and a good portion of the population is ok with that. A rapist pedophile that is doing the opposite of Robin Hood, stealing from the poor and giving it to his millionaires/billionaires “friends”.
I just don’t see how society can improve if humans are so fucking stupid and evil. This whole thing literally removed my faith in humanity. I was always a bit of a misanthrope but after this whole Trump and MAGA and Russia thing, my misanthropy is at an all time high.
I recently saw this video/documentary and found it interesting.
I saw this youtube documentary on “Russia’s Most Wanted Hackers” that I found really interesting:
This is great news. However, I am still dumbfounded on how 42% voted for the other guy. He is literally a sexual assaulter and he was endorsed by Trump and Elon Musk! How is it that so many people still voted for him?
Mamdani could not have had a better campaign, yet, he had just ~8% more votes. If the other guy ran a just tiny bit better campain, things could have been very different.
I am trully happy that Mamdani won, but yet, I am left scared at the state of things. He should have had 70/80% of votes. After all that has been happening in the US for the last 9 months or so, there is only a 8% number of votes separating the two sides? Holly molly, that is scary.
This is also something that I deeply value. And even in today’s world, in which anti-consumption should probably be a priority for pretty much everyone, I rarely find someone that values that.
And where is the hate for corporations? Everyone walking around as if they were a walking billboard, with branding in pretty much every item they own… Yikes yikes yikes.
Can I do something like this on a Raspberry Pi?
Something like Syncthing, but for hosting media would be fantastic. No need to deal with opening ports in the router and all those shenanigans. Something that you install and it just works, without any additional software. Is there anything like this?
I looked on the website. This is actually an “early bird” special price that is ~80% discounted. So after a while, it’s going to be $162/year and $310/2 years.
I don’t really pay attention to these “discounts”. It is, generally, just a marketing tactic. Plenty of services/websites/shops have the same discount 24/7.
Never heard of NymVPN. Does anyone use them?
I use Mullvad, and I really trust their devs. Not really looking to change, but having more options is always good.
This just shows that the whole “muh, it is the corporations fault for the climate emergency, there is nothing I can do about it!” is a load of BS. You can vote with your wallet. Become anti-consumption.
Trump is and always was absolutely stupid. But I wonder if he even knows that it was Russia that started, that Russians are the agressor. I mean, maybe people tell him but he is just so demented already that he simply forgets. Maybe his dementia doesn’t allow him to understand the idea that there is an aggressor and a defender?
I would really like to see someone sit him down and talk to him like a grown up, cameras rolling. Ask him what year it is. Ask him what is happening in Ukraine. And don’t accept answers such as “a very bad thing is happening in Ukraine.”. Those are copt out answers by someone who is probably completely lost. Go deep. Ask him what is the bad thing? How did it start?, etc.
It seems to be device specific. On my device, WhatsApp fits 2 more chats. I hate meta/insta/fb/etc, but WhatsApp just looks considerably better than Signal. Signal, as I said earlier, just has huge margins and padding. It looks ugly.
Like you, I also want my messenger app to show conversations. Sadly, Signal shows more empty space than conversations. It really needs a compact UI. I invited several friends to Signal and they all left because it looks bad. I know it sounds like nitpicking, but UI/UX IS extremely important. Making the claim “meh, it looks fine” and ignoring people’s perspective is not the way to run an app that is dependent on the number of users, like signal is. If I don’t have anyone with whom to chat, the app is useless. It needs userbase.
WhatsApp getting ads is great news! WhatsApp, and any other meta/facebook/for-profit-social-network will never be a good product. Therefore, the second best alternative is for it to be as bad as possible, so people finally change to worthy alternatives.
What is the alternative here? Don’t know, perhaps Signal, though the devs are not welcoming at all. The UI is absolute shit. Looks like UI for old people, huge margins and empty space. My screen fits like 3 chats. A compact theme would take a few hours to create and vastly improve the product, but ya…
Find the name of the guy and make him a hero. Positive reinforcement!
