I totally get that, same here.

But ultimately you can't just blame people. There is literally an entire industry trying to sell you cheap carbs and fat. Down to the sound a bag of chips makes when you open it (this is not a joke).

So on one hand you have evolution, your body still being stuck in the past where food was scarce. On the other hand you have too much food and it's highly engineered to be addicting on purpose.

It's no surprise most people are going to lose that challenge.

You can swear on the internet. Violence? Gore? No problem!

A bad word? Son of a removed, we're all going to die.

Edit: Wtf, there is a swear filter? Fuck.

What is actually your problem with Android FF? I use it every day on my phone.

Yes, it's not as snappy as Chrome, but besides that everything works perfectly. In addition to that: Fully fledged ad-blocker like on desktop, one big reason why I no longer use Chrome on my phone.

Install Firefox (also works on mobile!), add uBlock Origin (also available on mobile!), done.

Discord actually has "Forum" channels that work like Reddit. You can create posts and search for them. So if you use Discord right you could more or less recreate Subreddits inside a single Discord server.

Not a fan of them moving to Discord instead of Lemmy, but anyway, fuck Reddit.

It's also a shitty take because it hypes up Meta. Which basically took Instagram (handling billions of users posting text, images and videos) and creating Threads by turning images and video off. It's the same user accounts too.

That's like Google creating YouTweet by taking their YouTube platform and reducing it to video comments only. Then praising them that they managed to launch a text based service in 2023.

Why not actually talk about Mastodon instead?

This is a shitty take. Twitter ran perfectly fine before Musk took it over.

Turns out if you don't pay your hosting bills, or your office building bills, fire most of your engineers (after annoying them with bullshit) and making rash decisions without consulting people with technical know-how your service goes to shit.

Musk was stupid enough to DDOS his own service because he doesn't understand it. Blocking public access to tweets while having tweets embedded in millions of websites turned out to be a really bad idea. Simply because Twitter engineers always expected Tweets to be publicly available, so they kept retrying to fetch the data. There's probably a hundred+ developers at Twitter who could have told Musk that little tidbit.

This is 100% on the egomaniacal billionaire and has nothing to do with the technology.

That's a weird question, you are comparing a desktop OS with a phone OS (except you are talking about Windows phones, but I don't think you are?).

All it takes to kill your Windows installation is double clicking a random .exe file (and being unlucky that Windows doesn't warn you about this particular file). And nope, if it is a custom program your antivirus won't detect it either. Every time I hear of a company getting a crypto locker on their systems it was over a Windows PC (mostly by email). I haven't heard of your average company getting compromised by a phone yet (but those phones usually don't have network access to shared drives..).

Android is relatively locked down, a lot more than Windows. Even if someone sends you malware per email, there is no easy way to execute it on your phone. It's also not true that you can just install a rogue APK in two clicks, you have to do the following steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
2. In the Settings menu, tap Apps.
3. Tap Special app access (or Advanced > Special app access).
4. Tap Install unknown apps.
5. Select an app to use to install an APK file—your browser and file management apps are the best option here.
6. Tap the Allow from this source slider to allow APK files to be installed via that app.

Definitely not something that happens by accident :)

Overall for your average user I'd say Android is safer.

From the view of a small team that actually paid for GitLab Bronze: Their pricing is a mess and they keep changing things. We went with GitLab at first, Bronze tier, everything was great.

Then they removed Bronze tier (which was $4 per user per month) and only offered a premium tier from then on, $20 per user per month. Which is insane if you look at GitHub pricing.

So instead of paying that much we went with the free tier afterwards. Then GitLab limited free tier repos to 5 users max. Which was yet again annoying and we had to act on that.

In the end the company moved to GitHub, all we wanted was a stable solution we pay for and be left in peace. GitLab kept messing with things and wasting developer hours (Damn meetings with management). GitHub still has a $4 per user per month tier, GitLab.. wtf.. just raised the price again to $29 per user per month. Are they insane?

The graph totally threw me off, first I thought this post was a joke that Firefox got slower and is now as slow as Chrome.

For some dumb reason the y-axis shows the score, but it's inverted..

I've never been called either in nearly 12 years on Reddit (and being plenty active with ~120k comment karma).

Maybe if you often get called that you should re-evaluate your opinions?

Upvotes are not anonymous, same for downvotes.

OP should have made a strawpoll or something.
