Aspirational brands

“noo-cu-ler” --> “nu-clear”
“loo-tenant” --> “lef-tenant”

Thats probably where the LLMs picked up the idea. All the online jokes about nuking everyone

thanks for the explanation. would be nice if ALL links would open in a new tab, even the comment section, or opening a community link. but i guess that’s something to reported to the lemmy devs.

thanks for the update and all you do in maintaining the instance!

Grim fandango is the GOAT adventure game. Pls post your thoughts when you finish

What is the solution? Am i stupid?

Can confirm ctrl-shift-c opens dev console

I keep mixing up the shortcuts because ctrl-shift-c is copy in the KDE terminal

The reason i adblock the shit out of everything is not because i think i’m smarter than everyone, it’s because i KNOW i’m susceptible to these things.

What you’re describing is not immunity, but an avoidance strategy. Almost nobody is truly immune to ads, thats why we avoid exposure

Nobody is immune to HIV, so we avoid exposure

Being influenced by ads is not some moral failing.

I really doubt people who think they have some special willpower to resist advertising. Advertising isnt simply “go buy this particular thing”. Brand recognition alone is very powerful.

The person you replied to thinks their shopping list is somehow immune to advertising, i highly doubt it. The lack of self awareness makes me think they are MORE susceptible to ads than the average person.

The bitter sarcasm of a veteran who saw this coming by virtue of having caused it?

a bit of this. Although in my defense, I wasnt working in advertising at the time (my company didnt even have an advertising division)

also, i dont work for one of the big tech companies that have their claws in your digital life. But i can see how it contributes at some level, however minor.

Getting out of the grasp of big tech.

Been self hosting for over 10 years before anyone coined the term enshittification. When i started, i could never imagine things getting THIS BAD with tech companies. I am happier and happier with my decision to self host things every day

I work in advertising

Either this or a fairphone would be an instant buy from me if they were smaller. Modern phones dont fit into my pockets comfortably anymore

I imagine it’s a point of pride for many americans

Make compact phones again…

Every time i see big cats in zoos (😢), or on TV or whatever, i think “so cute!”…

If i ever saw one in real life, i would say “awwww, kitty!!! 😍” just before being mauled to death…

Some of the things in my house were set up so long ago, and running so smoothly, i havent looked at them in years (other than auto updates) now i’m afraid i’ve accidentally left some security hole without realizing it

For example, i set up cerbot 10 years ago and back then there was no DNS challenge, so i had to open my webserver to port 80 to renew… well since everything was running from https/443, i decided to block port 80

so i edited the systemctl unit for certbot to temporarily open port 80 for the renewal, and close it right after…

It was only 5 years later i realized i made a mistake and port 80 had been open for 5 years to the open internet

Probably no harm since its a public server anyway… defense in depth is the key

Finland already has very good datacenter companies, as one would expect…

I moved my VPS to a finnish company almost 10 years ago before data sovereignty was cool

Libs vs tankies is just another distraction by the owner class to keep us divided… so tired of these memes on lemmy…

We are all working class

There is no war but class war
