They keep making right wing mistakes though. I think that points to something.

Me for Bill Gates and Mark Cuban, back when everyone loved them. Bill Gates was basically idolized on reddit, partaking on reddit santa and all that.

I don’t care, as long as they don’t bring their BS with them and try to hit on gay men. I am thinking of the typical “instagram women”.

Welcome!

Please, help growing Lemmy/PieFed. Create content and engage!

You should/could do a tutorial on how to do these sort of things, both get the dictionaries and format them!

Hey there again! I tried the PT-PT dictionary and in terms of content, it is awesome. The formatting is a bit weird though. There is no formatting, everything is in the same phrase, different definitions in the same phrase gets annoying.

Is there a way to style it? For example, a word “XYZ: 1 bla bla 2 bla2 bla2” would look much better like so:

"XYZ:

1. bla bla
2. bla2 bla "

Is this something that can be done on my end? I use KOReader.

Americans are such a passive people. Their state can commit the worst atrocities, no peep from them. If this was any EU country, heads would be flying.

EDIT: After writing this, I thought and I disagree with my own statement. People suck. All people, generally. Some are a bit more passive than others, but generally, humanity sucks, people suck. We value comfort way too much and are not up to give up 0.1% of it, even in the face of atrocities. Principled people are very rare.

What?

I don’t think you know what centralization/decentralization means.

On matrix, you scan spin up a server/instance and communicate with any other matrix server/instance. On Fluxer, if you self-host, and your friend also self-hosts, your instance/server cannot communicate with your friend’s instance/server. You would have to create an account on your friend’s instance/server and vice-versa. You would also, probably, have to be running two clients in order to chat in both servers/instances.

Do you think a hand coffee grinder (I would buy the kingrinder k6, as I want cheap) is a “buy for life” product? I never had one in my hand, but I would think that anything that “grinds” probably gets blunt in a few years, no?

Another word for “marketing” or “advertisement” is Manipulation. Shady, manipulative, tactics.

Fuck them. I love Lemmy because it seems like the ratio of like-minded people is much larger here. Nothing better than seeing other principled people that would rather give up some comforts than deal with ads and bend the knee to the pieces of shit that try to push them.

Even products in the supermarket (such as bread!!) come with ads in the fucking plastic wrapper. I have changed my bread brand due to this. I will absolutely give up any comfort to avoid your manipulation. I will fucking shower in cold water if it means I don’t bend the knee to pieces of shit.

This should serve as motivation to move away from any and all corporations. Do not lose your community. Find a proper free-libre-open-source alternative and move the community there. Communities are important. Corporations are not.

Slightly Off-Topic:

I never liked Discord. First and foremost, nowadays, I cannot log into it when I am using a VPN. And back when I could, it always felt so laggy and clunky.

I think todays society is not used to performant software. Everyone just buys a new computer/smartphone every year or every 2 years or so, so they probably have compute power to run whatsoever. I run old shit. 13 year old desktops or so, with no dedicated graphics card, old smartphones, etc. I need software to be performant.

Using the QR code is probably still using Mastercard/Visa, no? As long as the money is being transfered directly from your bank account, it should be going throw Visa/Mastercard. Or am I mistaken?

Agreed. I will never understand how these people got famous. I do understand that they are manipulative and all that, but still… For manipulative people to be successful, one needs to be manipulated. I think this says more about the manipulated (and society overall) than it does about these manipulative, stupid, pieces of shit.

We will always have unscrupulous pieces of shit. The fact that society is choosing to make these people famous, and “powerful”, is dystopian. Absolutely pathetic.

I am not sure if you are aware, but there is a “fandom wiki” dictionary maker: https://github.com/Runik-3/core. I have used it in the past and it works perfectly.

Oh, both of those (street complete and every door) are great! I have just answered a few questions. This is a really easy way to improve OSM. We should probably do a “You Should Know” somewhere. I don’t think these apps are well known.

How long until the changes are accepted, do you have any idea? I already published them (by logging in my OSM account).

Hey! That is great!

What sort of apps/software do you use to update OpenStreetMap? I would also love to do something like that. Can you do a brief explanation on how you do it, please?

Giving up those socials is a great start, and often times the start is the hardest part. I don’t see Instagram though. Hopefully you have quit them and just forgot to mention, if not, consider this the universe sending you a message motivating you to delete it!

Of all the “content provider websites”, youtube is certainly the hardest part to “cut”. However, the signal to noise ratio of youtube is so low (small signal, large noise) that I pretty much don’t use it anymore. Even good channels are, more and more, going for clickbait and shitty tactics, and AI content. I didn’t really actively cut youtube, but I did so passively. It just became worse and worse that I don’t feel drawn to it as often. And, of course, when I do use youtube, ads are blocked with ublock and SponsorBlock.

Oh, this is something I don’t do, but probably should. Though I do small grocery shopping, several times, as opposed to one big one, and I do self checkout. It is so much faster to just pay with the card. It never really crossed my mind to do otherwise. I think paying with cash deserves a try though!

Myself, I am becoming as much “anti-consumption” as possible. I am removing myself from capitalism, as much as possible.

I still have to eat, of course, so I buy food. But I don’t buy food from corporations. As an example, I don’t buy anything from Nestle, nor from any big corporations. Gadgets and tech, I will be avoiding as much as possible, and if I do find myself needing to buy, I will do so but not from the usual corporations.
