It allows stupid people to have a community where they feel smart, and that they know something most people don’t.

I bet that’s not something they are used to

No no, religion is bullshit, sooo methane?

On the bright side, he should have all the time in the world to code, after going to prison.

One of the techniques is called buffer overflow. Where you target a flaw in some software. Computers are logic, they will do EXACTLY what you tell them. Imagine if an image viewer uses an dll to process jpg. That dll expects a very specific header. If this is not handled correctly and a malicious attacker crafts the header to be slightly larger and the larger part contains executable code. This code spills over in the adjacent memory area. The OS then reads this as code to run… and boom you are in.

This is oversimplified and proberly not explained correctly, but its something like that; and that kids, is why its important to update your OS and software.

Sometimes they find bugs like this, that have existed for many years before being discovered.

British people do…

Nah, at that time AudioGalaxy was in full spring and I was rocking the MZ-R30 Minidisc walkman.

Again, they dont care about privacy in any other way than the want your data for themselves. Are you really that naive?

Nah, Americans just mistake subsidized healthcare and prohibitive gun laws as actual communism

Go watch Louis Rossman, he shoots down almost all of your Apple propaganda, eh ment arguments.

Oh please, Apple doesn’t give a shit about their customers nor does any other major corporation for that matter. Only money matters.

But It’s in no way helpful advice to someone who is lonely or otherwise struggling. It’s almost along the lines of “why don’t you just cheer up”.

Helpful advice would be something along the lines “I understand you are struggling, maybe it would be a good idea to check out therapy”

“You need to love yourself, before you can love someone else”

I rarely see any ads. First thing I do on a clean windows or new phone, is to install adblockers. Simply because they have become so intrusive and takes up a lot of screen realestate. On top of that ads have been attack vectors for zero day exploits into people’s computers several times before.

One place I still see ads are on Facebook, and they never target anything I’m interested in. I suspect it’s because of greed. Because they are absolutely collecting my data, so they should be able to target me with relevant stuff, but they will allow any ads as long as the advertisers pay up. I have seen explicit ads on Facebook… on Facebook! Where users almost gets banned for saying butt. Ads on the other hand, is fine…

The result is I’m bombarded with irrelevant ads, that I never click.

As services gets more aggressive with pushing ads down my throat, the more aggressive methods I’m going use to block ads or find alternative services. They did it to themselves.

I feel old now…

At this point it’s better to put it down, like the sick panda it is!

It’s buggy, bloated, slow and with a horrible UI.

I posted a reply with a “quick fix” to a Lenovo T14s issue, quite some time ago. That reply has kept getting “Thank you” replies now and again. I suspect that that will continue for a long time to come.

There is a lot of that kind of useful information on Reddit that doesn’t get outdated for at foreseeable future.

Hell. I found a 14 year old solution to a Borland database issue I had at work, buried in some old forums, so don’t dismis the value of old information.

Use “Because API changes” instead of “Because lemmy”. But I agree; changing it to a link to Lemmy instead is better. Theres a shit-ton of valuable information buried on Reddit.

Holy shit! Your post made me realize that we are in Dot-com bubble burst 2.0

It the exact same thing, everyone and their dog, had to have a webpage. Investers finally realized that most websites had no way of generating money, and stuff came crashing down.

Same thing is happening now!
