Take that spider republicans
Arachno-capitalist?
The fuck did DQ ever do to you?
He lost his mom to an Oreo Blizzard, I can’t blame him. She was eating one, got lost and never came home.
Activision-Blizzard maybe?
Not unless you do musk as well.
Musk, Tesla, and cybertruck were my most recent additions. I do not have the bandwidth to care about one auto company who is bad at making cars.
I work as a valet driver and omg do I hate teslas. Even if Tesla was run by Bernie sanders himself I’d hate the fucking things.
Take a bunch of nerds who’ve never driven a car before and ask them to design one and poof a Tesla pops out. Horrendous. The fact that visually the cyber truck looks like a four year olds drawing turned into real life is just the icing on the cake.
“Spider, Spiders, Trump” was one of the least successful children’s books of all time.
What’s wrong with spiders?
They lost the election
Them too?
That’s how elections work: one wins, everyone else loses
We are all election loosers on this blessed day
Don’t like em
So you love mosquitos and flies. Got it.
Ye
Is it just star trek and linux left?
Mainly, but some of the star trek stuff is pretty wholesome. Kinda makes me wanna finally watch it
I did not mean ‘left to block’, just ‘left in the feed’
Yeah that’s what I assumed you meant
You haven’t already? I grew up with that shit.
I mean, I used to watch some of the original one with captain kirk when I was young, but I never saw tng and all I had was cable and ADHD so I never was good at sticking to series
I really like Voyager actually. TNG is probably objectively the best though. With you on the ADHD though.
I mean it’s better now but like most brain things, it’s pretty bad as a kid, might check out both
As an ADHD haver you also couldn’t do TV?
Me too! People look at me like I’m crazy when I say I don’t watch tv and with the exception of living with an ex or my mother previously I haven’t watched tv on my own in at least a decade+.
Closest I get is a couple YouTube videos from like vice news or something and then I give up and go read.

Nah, they’ve got head and sand as well.
don’t forget about 196
Arachnids
doesn’t spider cover spiders? Does it look for whole words?
Noooooo, straight literal string I believe, I learned that the hard way
But then wouldn’t you want to put democrats and conservatives and kamalas?
I mean I usually don’t bother adding it until it comes up
One solution to the Scunthorpe problem
thats kinda annoying. I guess good if you don’t want to see anything about toys. Would be nice if you could have an option of how it parses the terms.
Peace or delusion? Like it or not some of those things are going to be affecting your every day life.
How is that delusional? Blocking out stressors is perfectly reasonable. Yeah you miss out on some relevant news, but lower stress might be worth it.
No, were on social media, which means anything you do that’s good for your mental health is neurotypical delusional malicious bullshit
People in the current year literally believe this
Not so much that but there’s only so much one person can do to change the situation and protecting one’s peace is important to have the stamina for the long fight we have ahead of us
Can’t block out reality forever, as I said some of these things are very much going to affect the majority of people whether they like it or not.
I have to eat three meals a day, but I don’t walk around with a plate of food all the time
Just because it affects us doesn’t mean everything has to be about it all the damn time. Besides, it doesn’t affect us all equally.
I certainly would agree that not “everything has to be about it all the damn time”.
Lemmy isn’t the primary source of information for most people.
Bite me :)
You know that there are at least several people in the world who are not Americans, right?
You know that the US is a leading world power that can affect other places, right? I’m not even in the US, myself.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a Jerboa
Boost has it, I think maybe connect did as well?
This is honestly the move
What if there’s a blizzard
If I look or go outside, I’ll notice the blizzard, and adapt accordingly (get a scarf, umbrella…). If there’s a blizzard but I don’t even look outside to notice it, that means I don’t have to adapt to it, and thus not even be informed of its existence.
I wonder how much of Lemmy would be left to view if you added Linux.
Star Trek. Star Trek everywhere.
Ok I’m not a nerd. Grew up in the 90s and started on windows 95… switched to a Mac in 2007 as I went into design work. I always wanted to try Linux and I was gonna install it on an old windows based laptop during covid for fun but couldn’t find the charger for it.
What’s the big fuss about Linux? Is it just an alternative to the big two or is there something special about it that the other two can’t do?
Not the person you replied to, but I do use Linux (arch btw).
Linux is a free (as in freedom) and open source software that basically powers the internet.
A vast majority of servers on the internet are running Linux. It’s powerfully but that’s a double edge sword. It’s easy to cut yourself too if your unfamiliar with the edges.
Because it’s completely open source, there are endless customizations and optimizations you can make. The art is knowing what, how, and where. But that’s true of windows and macos.
It’s vertically less creepy with AI and logging garbage compared to apple and Microsoft.
It’s popular with nerds because it’s free and customizable. IMO that can come at a cost of user-friendly experiences. But it’s all about learning the edges. The other two have plenty, most are just used to it.

So it’s safer from tracking? I have Adblock and anti tracker stuff on all my browsers on my Mac but idk if it really works
So, the big kicker on that front is that most distributions ( there is a whole family tree of different versions built with different goals) are open source, meaning that people can look at the code and see what is running on their machine. Most people aren’t inspecting every part of their system, but every part has been inspected by many people. When something sketchy goes on, it will be called out. Because the code is open for anyone to see, and most versions are distributed under certain licenses, people can take it and branch off their own version if they don’t like what’s being done.
There are some versions maintained by companies (Android for example) and some by volunteers, but they all run on the same open source Linux kernel, or some modified version of it, which is maintained by volunteers. Most Linux distributions are built by people who care about it and want it to work well.
So at the end of the day, it’s all super transparent and there is a lot of accountability through that. No one will be sneaking spy wear in or logging what you do unless you let them, and because there is so many versions, it’s easy to migrate to a different version if the people making one do something stupid.
A lot of power users love Linux for how much you can do with it, but there are lots of versions that are built to be easy to use and as low maintenance as possible. There is a huge variety of versions, even a bunch of gimmick or joke version.
It is yes. There’s no central server that logs are collected to or anything like that.
That’s NOT the same as ad blocking.
Borswers will still be browsers just like any other OS and precautions should be made there.
I set up almost the exact same list this week. I like spiders though… Adding Blizzard now.
Activision Blizzard
Man I was thinking Spiders was the AA dev developing Greed fall
