Welcome!

Just like reddit, there can be a ton of downers and doomers.

Just ignore them.

Lemmy’s been great for the couple years I’ve been using it.

Unfortunately ethics is kinda one of those major pillars that separates us from the other animals in the kingdom.

“John Ternus will be great for Apple because he’s an engineer”

A society that refuses to mix ethics with STEM: hold my beer…

Seriously, being an engineer or working on or in something doesn’t automatically make you the best leadership choice automatically. Ethics are kind of an important thing America continues to gloss over at an alarming rate.

Corps aren’t your friend. Apple is just as shitty as everyone else, they’re just better at hiding it.

I’m pretty disappointed in my fellow PC users.

We’re supposed to be at least a little tech savvy.

Linux isn’t even hard to use, heck it’s been easier for me than windows the last few months.

93% of gamers aren’t using Adobe, what’s the excuse everyone?

Have some courage, and then laugh about ever worrying about switching.

What does that mean?

It’s ok, as demonstrated by my complete miss of your joke, we all 12 out here sometimes.

Oh god.

That’s hilarious lol.

Thank you internet stranger.

Just because people remember a measurably better time doesn’t mean they’re yelling at clouds.

This wasn’t even that long ago.

Are you 12?

Edit: I have been regretfully informed that I have in fact, missed the joke lol.

Tim Sweeney is one of the most stupid people to end up where he is.

Dude hasn’t had a good take ina decade and all he has to do is make his storefront not suck but instead he funnels money toward throwing free games at people like a parent trying to win their kids affection on Christmas instead of yanno, by being a damn parent.

Epic store sucks, Tim Sweeney sucks even more.

Hey chat, chat, chet, I just hacked into Russian state servers and launched a nuclear warhead.

Am I cooked chet?

(When they say chat so many times they start saying chet)

Oh absolutely I agree!

I just think the percentage of power these “dumb” people represent is much larger now and it’s hitting a tipping point in a lot of industries, governments, etc.

Yea here’s the problem. The dumbest people you know are in charge right now. No I don’t mean they’re literally the stupidest by definition.

What I mean is that we created a system of nepotism and wealth so that many positions in both government and business are occupied by people WHO NEVER REALLY HAD TO LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD.

This is a major problem. You cannot adequately govern or make decisions that affect everyone’s lives when you have no earthly idea what effect you’re having.

100%

I watched a video about a guy building his own Stonehenge the other day. Using gravity and some cool techniques, the guy moves massive stones BY HIMSELF.

Meanwhile you have people so breathlessly stupid they think that the pyramids were built by aliens because “stone heavy, these people didn’t have construction equipment!!!”.

Modern tech does not mean solutions didn’t exist before. We have forgotten so much in the name of selling products that a simple solution like yours goes overlooked in favor of fucking AI and a third party company that surely definitely cares about 911.

Lol like everyone in here complaining and blocking, when you were presented with facts, your true colors came out.

Softer than baby shit.

Nah you’re also right, and I’ve been in your position as well and it’s frustrating.

It truly is.

Except you forget that the news that YOU view, is not the same news everyone views.

There’s not one central news source nor is there only one newsworthy goings on.

To assume everyone sees the same news and interprets it the same way you do is wild.

Idk if you’re being obtuse, but come on lol.

The assumption of privacy is not the fault of most people.

Stop blaming the average person for the privacy damage done by corporate interests and the government.

The fact that Peter Thiel’s name is an anagram for the reptile is still funny to me.

Why do so many of these CEOs barely look human?
