speaking of old times, wasn’t winamp’s genre dropdown menu had ‘primus’ sticking among all other genres, suggesting how special primus are?

fuck, this is accurate. i recognized myself in everything you wrote. (age 50ies)

yes. being on fedora for last five years, no complaints whatsoever, but i did ditch the nvidia for amd to spare myself the neverending story of nvidia and linux.

Switched to Niagara after Nova was bought off, but lately using the KISS launcher which does the job similar to Niagara when configured, and it’s FOSS.

Lawnchair is quite basic.

keyword filtering.

started the wayfarers by becky chambers.

conservatives like to squeek “that’s against god’s will” but when conservative needs a heart stent or pacemaker to keep him alive, then god’s will is not an issue. when conservative needs a kidney transplant, cancer treatment, or even glasses - there’s no questioning against how god created their bodies.

as always, there’s no biblical preachings when their asses and their life comfort are in question.

updated glibc already pushed to fedora repos.

I can totally feel that sudden clot in the gut the moment you realize on which drive the action is happening, just by reading this.

try to install FossifyOrg gallery and dialer via obtainium who pulls releases directly off github.

commodore 64 with tape drive. later i got 5.25 floppy drive for it, which was the size of C64 itself.

then amiga, which i sold later to get money for my first intel/dos based pc (486dx2), but i regret selling that amiga to this day.

openmw.

same thing happened to me. talked about very specific health-related topic, didn’t googled it or anything, the next day instagram came up with ads for the very same specific health subject.

for a start, you can check instagram’s permissions (and facebook of you use it, it’s meta too) and disable access to microphone.

however, that leaves whatsapp which is also meta and mic is more of a neccesity than insta/fb, but in my case, haven’t seen weird ads for subjects i didn’t typed into any devices since i disabled insta mic access.

Dimebag Darrell.

(aside of social network’s disinformation, conspiracies, hate breeding and false news) this is prime example of what the internet ended up as, to a regular user: how-i-experience-web-today.com

I had similar situation with facebook. In a discussion, I posted a single comment about election results with numbers, percentages and a link to official governmental website containing that very same data, with attached screenshot of it for lazy ones. Facebook informed me that the comment violates spam rules and will be removed. No edit possibility, no peace talks, just removed. At the same time there are profiles loaded with hate speech, bigotry, racism and disinformation for years, and no automod, no algorithm was triggered.

That moment I sad fuck your algorithms, fuck your data, fuck your website, I can live without it. Just pulled the plug and deleted the account. I don’t need that hate-machine to keep in touch with my friends. And as long as people says ‘but my friends are there’, facebook will continue to roll hatred fueling algorithms and never change. No mockery, no subreddits or lemmy communities will change it, but every user less - may lead to a change, or better, a downfall.

Just delete the account.

edit: and try to watch the social dilemma documentary.

thanks, ordered!
