Why the fuck does nobody know the difference between loose and lose anymore? I swear this wasn’t a thing that was commonly confused a few years back.

Damn the lead researcher is brutal! Using this opportunity to shit on the interns like that.

Sure I guess. There’s plenty of things better about Linux so why lie? This meme misses the mark is all I’m saying.

*Holds power button on windows device

Weird that there’s no mention of what these people reported on that got them to receive said threats.

Jokes on them, if you have a shitty enough computer that’s doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, you get to stay on Windows 10 forever!

“I gambled on a thing now I’m having a meltdown that it didn’t go my way!”

I hope in response to existing trends (PlayStation going digital only) that their console sales plummet warning to Xbox and Nintendo theirs will tok if they do the same.

I feel like this happened years ago for me and now it’s just the norm to not spring for any cereal regularly.

I don’t get it. You literally have the choice of any dumb-phone out there, why buy a new one?

They’ll just do it illegally and conveniently leave out how they tracked down whoever’s location but it’s a nice sentiment.

Poor Zuck. As a robot, he doesn’t understand why his workers are so upset. They still have a job. He cut the inefficiency, placed more work on the remaining employees, and probably tells them to pick up the slack by using AI or something like that…

He also probably saved billions.

In his robot brain: “Why aren’t they happy for me to succeed?”

Fake, cheap, and plastic with a huge price tag. What a perfect representation of the United States.

Would he have said anything at all or apologized if he wasn’t called out? I doubt it.

We need an Internet 2.0 invite only. no bots, governments, or companies allowed.

Oh yeah I totally get it! The only reason I’m in the “know” is because I work in IT. I used to love computers growing up but uh… Now that I do it for a career, I don’t have much interest in computers as a hobby. I used to lie at work in entry level positions saying stupid shit like “computers are my life!” Because I thought that’s what I needed to do to “fit in”. But, these days I’m just honest. When I get off work I don’t fire up my gaming pc (don’t even have one), I fire up my grill!

Glad you like it here! I’m pretty new myself. My only issue is there’s not much traffic sometimes but what makes it so “real” is how empty it feels sometimes. You know people read your comments instead of getting buried in thousands of bot comments.

Yeah agreed. But if you’re in a 3rd world country or some broke teenager that money goes farther. Bot farms buy “legit” accounts then influencers pay them for likes and interactions on social media platforms fooling The algorithm into thinking the content is popular then putting the bought content into real human’s social media feeds. I have watched YT videos on how the stuff operates in the past. It just goes to prove that the internet is fake af. Going viral can be bought. Algorithms can be manipulated. It’s all bullshit.

Lemmy seems pretty legit so far though! I’m pretty new here but it seems like a small corner of the internet that’s not yet taken over by 90% bots!

…yet…

I checked my first one (that was banned later) once out of curiosity. 8ish years over 100k karma and it was like $20? You’d have to really grind to make any money like having a bot farm or something. Granted I never actually checked my account specifically, just similar accounts with similar age and karma.

This was years ago that I looked. I wouldn’t be surprised if the number has gone down since then.

That’s cool and all but if true, why use an animated photo instead of a real life example?

That sucks, sorry to hear. Hopefully you’ll be able to create what you want someday.
