This is what fascism looks like folks.

They are an embarrassment to Americans.

Yeah, pretty much.

MM-DD-YYYY is the only way. I can’t stand the way you Europeans do it.

Some of it is though. For example, they take forever to update their servers when new versions of Lemmy are released and it often breaks compatibility with apps. They also have constant service disruption. Even if it is ddos attacks, they should be trying to mitigate them.

It has gotten orders of magnitude worse since Elmo took over.

I’m a Linux user, so I use .gz and .bz primarily for compression. If I just need to archive without compression I’ll just make a tarball. People on windows never complain. Maybe it’s just that I’m in the IT field, but most people have an archiving program installed. Plus, I am pretty sure Win11 can open most archive formats natively now.

Damn! Is Pennsylvania becoming Florida?

I’m on Lemmy.world. I just picked it because it was one of the biggest, but I haven’t been entirely happy with it.

Wow. Imagine that. It’s almost as if when you let neo-nazis and far right rats take over a platform it becomes a toxic environment.

Haha now if only they could do it in Times Square. That place is a giant eyesore.

I used to feel bad about using an ad blocker on the internet, but not anymore. I utilize PiHole and uBO for ad blocking now because the internet has literally become unusable without it. I never minded seeing ads, but they have gotten so brazen about it now with the most obnoxious ads possible. When the ads start negatively affecting the usability of the Internet there’s a serious problem. So they can either use respectful ad placement and get some revenue from me, or they can have them blocked and get zero revenue. It’s their choice.

r/Fedora and r/ThinkPad. Those are the two I spent the most time in. I will also really miss my guilty pleasure subreddits like r/gaystoriesgonwild, r/Twinks, and r/GayKink. Haha.
