And without fail, every accusation continues to be an admission

There’s definitely exceptions

Gotta say those flippy top ones only look cool if you can pull off a full 80s beach holiday look with it. Those light reactive ones kinda end up giving history teacher vibes rather than cool vibes any time I’ve seen them. Oakley’s when not on a ski slope (and even then tbh) kinda makes the wearer look like an out of touch boomer.

I’m not a big fan of those super thin 90s styles coming back in, but some people can definitely pull them off, I think face shape comes into play a lot more with them

Honestly, what a monumentally shit take from OP

There are people out there losing family members, many of them forever, over politics

There are millions of people who don’t feel safe leaving their house right now due to politics

Millions more worried about straight up losing their house and everything they own over politics

People worried about where their next meal is coming from

People worried if they’re gonna be able to afford to continue to fucking live

Others wondering if there’s even going to be much of a world left to live in

Many people thinking about politics are doing so because they do not get a choice. No one wants to think about any of that, they’re being forced to by the reality unfolding around them.

Wow, so I thought having an explicit 4chan block was kinda silly enough, but finding out it works by running OCR on every uploaded image and looking for the words “Anonymous” and “No” is absurdly silly.

The hell are you on about?

Someone who basically just uses their screen to pull up a recipe to make dinner with is not going to have any problems. Similarly for someone who uses it to keep in contact with friends (directly, not via a social network).

Someone who only spends a half hour a day using their phone, but that usage is scrolling on twitter or some bullshit like that? They’re absolutely going to have problems. It only takes a few seconds to read a post and then a shitty idea might lodge itself in their head.

Focusing on just screen time rather than the content on it is expressly not focusing on the root cause, and we’re not going to fix anything if we focus on just the symptoms. It’s like trying to ban hammers because someone is smashing your windows with one. The hammer isn’t really the cause of the problem, and the person doing the smashing will continue a different way if they aren’t stopped.

Why do people focus on the screens and not what’s on the screens? That’s what needs to be regulated

There is no time limit that will render propaganda ineffective

The screen isn’t the problem, it’s the antagonists on the other side

Depends what industry you’re in, I guess

I’m in tech and there are more Plex guys than people looking for Plex guys

The Epstein distraction war

Edit: damn the pilcrow renders shit on my phone

TBF I more meant they weren’t actively trying to be malicious in many cases

You’re entirely right that they are malicious though

Yes 100%

Wealth generates income, that income can’t sit as cash or it will lose value, so they need to invest.

When the ultra wealthy invest, it’s less important to get the best price for an asset than simply getting it. That money needs to be spent. So if there’s competition for an asset, they will spend more to get it.

When that happens, the price of the asset goes up. Causing inflation

Those assets ultimately determine the baseline cost of everything else. Can’t grow food if you’ve not got a farm. Farms being more expensive make food more expensive.

This isn’t malicious, this is just how it has to be when you have ultra wealthy people. They must invest, they must take property away from everyone else.

The ultra rich are actively pricing us out of living.

The ultra rich need to go

FT going for UBI a decade after we were calling for it to alleviate this

Lol. Lmao even.

Only socialism is really gonna cut it now, ship has sailed with the asset inflation crisis we’re about to hit

Huh, typically you’d set an instance to scale out, not in when CPU usage spikes

Apparently they did have a raw format called RAF and the processing involved “demosaicing” funnily enough given the thread we are in

You prompted me to look it up and my knowledge is apparently a bit dated on that one

I’d apparently read about Fujifilm doing this with some of their older CCD based sensors and they shifted away from that ages ago!

the only stuff that’s really on there is some music, photos, backups. If it gets lost, nothing important really is lost.

Photos are pretty important to a lot of people, I know that’s the most obvious thing on my server that people would miss and not be able to get anywhere else

FWIW, pixels don’t have to be square or in a grid.

Some professional cameras take photos with hexagonal pixels, for example

I believe these actually exist in some form!

The ones I’ve read about in the past are more art exhibitions than a conventional museum, but have a look and see if there’s something like that near you!

Reminder that zero “small boats” have come across in several days

This is a non issue used to keep idiots angry about people who have nothing to do with the people who are actually destroying their lives: the same people funding all this bile.

Wait for the centralised thing to fuck something up (and they will), then say “hey I’ve been using this to get away from all the bullshit of [service name]”

In the mean time, post & comment. The more content & discussion there is, the more attractive it will be to others. If you’ve got a niche hobby you’re passionate about, get a community going or try to grow an existing one if it already exists.

I comment way more on Lemmy than I was doing on Reddit towards the end, partly because the people here are generally good to chat to, but also because I want this place to keep being good so I can continue to keep using it.
