at least welsh and polish actually read the letters that we write down, unlike some languages

thank you ❤️

oh i have feed wide filters for lemmy things in my boost app, hiding everything that has “Trump, Musk, Elon, Israel, Palestine, USA, Genocide” in the title. i don’t mind seeing the same meme 3 times a day, but i am taking active measures against being constantly reminded that the world is shit and misery is at every corner. The internet is great and all but the human tendency to report on tragedies instead of nice things is awful for my, and everyone’s, mental health. It’s always a “16 year old who was about to cure cancer died in a tragic accident” and never “92 year old grandma had ice cream that reminded her of her first love”, just ugh,

I know we’re wired to focus on the negatives and dangers for our own survival, but I don’t think nature ever planned for us to be able to access a constant stream of reports about everything going wrong on earth, this instinct was supposed to make sure we remember where the bears are so we don’t get killed, not make us depressed :(

yeah now whenever i visit reddit (when i run out of fresh lemmy content) i constantly see things i would rather not. I’m doing my best to limit my “bad news and shit happenings” exposure and reddit recommends i watch all the tragic traffic accidents when people post them to r/maybemaybemaybe, right inbetween the freshest news from the genocide frontlines, and the newest bullshit coming from American politicians

steam has changed people’s login names when they cited the fact it contains their deadname and they want it changed. so contact their support about it

i haven’t used apple devices in ages, but if this was an android issue i’d also make sure the way your own contact is saved is updated as well. I mean the way your own number is saved as in your phone. Maybe try that?

oh i meant backdoors and vulnerabilities in the OS itself, hah, i’m pretty sure the system has all the permissions

we’ll never be a 100% safe, no matter what OS we use. We can’t defend ourselves against backdoors and newly abused vulnerabilities in any meaningful way

simple, don’t use an antivirus, stick to windows defender (before the linux crowd comes in yes I know there are basically no viruses threatening you chill), your own brain, and also not an admin account!

Don’t download shady shit, and if your PC asks you for some mysterious admin permission - the answer is “no”. If something does slip through windows defender will most likely handle it no problem!

tumblr will save us from the AI takeover

and we all look up to the people who look like they know what they’re doing (they don’t but they are very convincing at looking like they do)

I’m curious now, what was the justification for that claim?

for the sake of tradition I think the outcome should be decided by a 1v1 classic tetris duel

don’t need to use a VPN when my country could not fucking care less about piracy. Hell, some major chain shops here run pirated windows

when my browser asks me for a firewall pass and i haven’t directly and intentionally prompted that to happen i click “no”

in case of a bank Im sure you can just walk to a physical office and get your account linked to another email

things will get hard with things like steam

300PLN is a week and a half worth of groceries, and not bottom shelf groceries either

honestly, it’s not a pricing issue- until it is. I absolutely adore Starfield, but 300PLN is a lot of money in Poland

but the fact this is the only game I pirated in the last decade also says a lot
