Some additional context:
It was made by 4chan users over a decade ago, when that sort of thing was accepted there as “edgy humor”. Make of it what you will. I think there’s been some growing up, since they don’t offer/support those domains now.
Context is important.
It was made by 4chan users over a decade ago, when that sort of thing was accepted there as “edgy humor”. Clearly there’s been some growing up, since they don’t offer/support those domains now.
Domains you could register an email with them at.
Ugh, yeah.
They were started by 4chan users, back when that sort of thing was more accepted there as “edgy humor”. Glad they grew up.
Yeah, I don’t know why they don’t have the normal “what is this” text from their main page at least at the bottom or something.
cock.li offers free email service with no personal info needed for signup. They’ve done this for 11 years, with no major outages to my knowledge, relying only on donations without explicitly asking for them or bugging their users.
I think at some point they also offered paid VPS services.
Very useful for accounts that you don’t want connected to your other “identities”, but where you’ll still need them associated with a real email for things like password resets.
It’s also tor friendly.
My guy, I’m a grown ass adult that does sysadmin work for a living in a full Windows/Microsoft environment. Just stop. You’re wrong about how Windows works.
Your meme is simply not how Windows works, unless you intentionally choose to disable the security feature of UAC while leaving Windows Defender on. At that point you’ve accepted the risk that you could do something to break your shit.
You turned off warnings for all the shit you say Windows sleeps through, but left Windows Defender on which keeps the exe warnings. The only way to get Windows to work the way in this meme is if you configure it in this non-standard way.
Your willingness to poke around with computers will serve you well, especially in the modern age as people are less willing to do that, but don’t assume you know everything just because you know more than the people around you day to day.
You can embed other images in the post body, and in your comments.
So once again we have someone who doesn’t actually use (modern) Windows making false statements about how it functions, upvoted to the moon because Microsoft bad. They are, but this is embarassing.
Never change lemmy.
All of those things require admin rights, which is an explicit acceptance that you are now working with things that could fuck your shit up. Modern Windows, unless you disable UAC, asks you to confirm you’re sure you want to use admin rights before you have the opportunity to break any of the shit you claim it’s chill about.
Running an exe doesn’t require admin rights, hence the extra warnings. Plus a malicious exe could do all that shit without asking for admin first through a privilege escalation exploit.
I swear, people find more uninformed shit to complain about with Windows every day.
If all else fails, you can try using whatever the lastest community supported fork of Universal Android Debloater is. It uses ADB to remove bloatware, which bypasses vendor locks on keeping certain apps installed.
Obviously no real replacement for custom ROMs, but it’s better than nothing.
The only reason that’s any different than any other time Microsoft has released a new OS is that more people own computers now than ever before, improvements in hardware power have slowed significantly, and people are more outspoken online now.
It’s still not reasonable to expect them to support all hardware forever on an aging codebase.
I understand the frustration, but this isn’t some new thing for this new OS in particular.
Good luck getting that message across. A large portion of lemmy seems to consider it acceptable when they do it.
I’ve found my lemmy experience greatly improved by just blocking and moving on, with the exception of a few users that overwhelmingly post other useful stuff instead of just shitstirring.
Flashing your lights or highbeams to pass is seen as quite agressive in the US. It isn’t taught in drivers ed, and the general interpretation I hear most people have of it isn’t “Hey, could you let me pass?” but instead “Hey! Fuckface! Stop driving so goddamn slow and get out of the damn way you shithead!”
Doesn’t help that in my experience, the only people flashing to pass are aggressively tailgating me when I’m already 10 mph or more over the speed limit.
Better to just pass on the right if there’s room. And if there isn’t room, fuck off telling someone to get out of your way. Not like they can get over anyway.
EDIT: Fucking hell, nevermind. I found it. He posted it himself.
Don’t you know that it’s entirely unreasonable to expect your users to have hardware that’s a standard feature on any machine made in the last ten years, that can be added to existing systems for around $30 and a free card slot? /s
I don’t think I’ll ever understand the insistence that a TPM module is a bridge too far.
I mean, it definitely is, but it also has been since Episode 2 came out.
No, we don’t see how well voting works. Trump got less votes this run than he did in the last election where he fucking lost.
Some supposedly do, and then have been found hallucinating non-existent ones.
I think you want to direct that at the people who voted for Trump, not the people pointing out why others voted for Trump.
Unfortunately you can’t expect the entire voting public to be aware and knowledgable about all this shit, and the candidates still need to appeal to those voters to win. Which plays a decent role in why Kamala lost.
Yep, and in the statement they’re referring to, it explicitly suggests that their users should set up PGP.
