-for humanity to survive, it must eliminate the rich

-pineapple can go on pizza. You can put whatever you want on pizza. You don't have to like it for it to be a valid topping. Some people just hate things because they heard about it online.

-new York pizza is not the best pizza in the universe.

  • the people who want to change the date of celebrating Halloween to the last Saturday of October (or anything similar) are childhood hating assholes who think that it's more important to keep the capitalistic society going than celebration human culture. They would rather things be convenient for them and their bosses than to let people celebrate things when they please. There's also probably a bias against non Christian religions. If you find it inconvenient you should be mad at the system that makes it inconvenient for you to do something on a Tuesday night, not a holiday that's centuries older than your job. Work should work around holidays not the other way around.

I’ve seen crushed boiled eggs on pizza. Also ones with green olives on top that still had the pits inside.

Apple products aren't any better than anything else, it's just marketing and branding. They're like the Starbucks of computers.

[–] danielsan256@feddit.org 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

With the exception of intel macs, they are the Lexus of computers because they are Overbuilt and long after they're discontinued you pop Linux or even Windows on them and they keep on ticking and due to the metal body they survive children better πŸ˜…. Not sure about newer apple silicon though.

[–] TheRealKuni@midwest.social 6 points 10 hours ago

Not sure about newer apple silicon though

Apple Silicon is impressive as hell. The power consumption per performance is remarkable. A buddy of mine said on his M2 MacBook Pro, Factorio ran better even through emulation than it had on his other laptop. And much better once recompiled for the ARM architecture.

(That said, I’m sticking with the x86_64 I know and love to hate, since while I like other Apple products I’ve never gotten the hang of OSX.)

My hill: Laws that give β€œunnecessary” rights to people are still good overall and shouldn't ever, EVER, be reversed. Laws that give β€œunnecessary” rights keep society stable and have come from past times soaked in blood. If you reverse 60-100 years of these gains, then society will collapse.

  1. The big hill in my neighborhood park.

  2. Capital Hill

I don't really know of any other hills or why I would be near them so if I die on a hill it will probably be one of these.

You should have to get a special license to drive something as big as a modern pickup truck.

And you should have to have a justifiable reason to buy and own one.

And there should be restrictions on where they can be driven.

Basically most people shouldn't have pickup trucks.

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago

Instead of trucks, this should be based on vehicle dimensions. All vehicles around the size of modern pickup trucks.

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 2 points 12 hours ago

Its even worse in SEA. Some countries like Nam have these small dick pick-up driving shitheads but what they don't have is America's huge roads and streets.

Paid refers to money. Payed is a nautical term.

Phones have become boring and are all the same. I want options like we had with Nokia back in the day. So a music phone, gaming phone, business phone etc. but with a modern OS. All we have now are camera phones. Google announcing that they've added a second possible function to The Button in settings just doesn't excite me. Smartphones have become shit and it's not because we've perfected them or some shit, it's because chasing lines on marketing graphs and playing follow the leader has resulted in no choice anymore and everything being lowest common denominator, mass produced slop.

camera phones

Why are all "modern" phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back. I just want a phone with no cameras. Even 1 might be O.K., so long as it's on the phone's backside.

[–] TheRealKuni@midwest.social 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Why are all "modern" phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back.

Because different lenses are good at different things. On a three-lens setup, one is usually a telephoto lens for distance, another is a standard wide-angle lens for normal photography, and the third is an ultrawide angle for capturing more of a scene and for macro ultra-close-up photography.

Also you can film in 3D using two of the three.

Multiple lenses are a big part of why phone images are as high quality as they are these days.

And the one on the front is obvious, it enables things like video chat, selfies, and sometimes facial recognition (though that can also work by infrared and lidar).

But many people don't use any of those features. I get that many do, but every single smartphone with features I require has them.

I found out that they give military personnel such phones.

Oh no, I think I might've missed my chance, then.

But seriously, I have abslutely no use for a "selfie camera" & feel uncomfortable with the whole concept of having a camera constantly facing you. At least with laptops it's easier to put something in front. Even with a back-facing camera, its use is very limited & would prefer to be without one, let alone a handful.

Dampening is making things wet. Damping is reducing oscillations in something.

Every time I hear or read people using them interchangeably is infuriating.

If I do not have or cannot easily get root access to a computer, I don't really own it.
