what a noob, they should have just organised a pizza party.

Aren’t forums technically social media as well?

News headlines gonna be like “millenials are bankrupting an American institution, the fast food industry”

I mean, that’s basically what restaurants do…

My friends and I were hanging out at my mates’ place (he used to work as a line cook), he made us all pasta and it tasted amazing.

Turns out the secret was to add a scary amount of butter, and then add some more.

Salt, butter and MSG is the secret behind half the restaurant industry.

nice try DEA

Next you’ll be seeing bs gaslighting articles saying “American carmakers are being driven to bankruptcy thanks to millenials’ changing preferences”

Isn’t that just a game of whack a mole though? Ban VPNs ending in Charleston, people hop to another location. Rinse and repeat

I mostly use All as well. I have the following blocked:

• all the meme communities that pop up. It’s just spammy posts

• all beehaw communities. Mostly because they were defederated with the largest lemmy communities, and I didn’t want to talk to only a small subset of users. Not sure if they’ve changed anything since

• hexbear because… Hexbear

Many mobile games are just thinly veiled attempts at monetization. Get people hooked, then start adding time-bound gates you can unlock, add PvP with loot boxes and multiple types of premium currency that’s hard to keep track of. Doesn’t matter what the game is about - you can do this to racing games, fighting games, gardening games, whatever.

That said there are still mobile games that are fun and genuinely good gameplay - I used to love Minigore too, after it was available on Android. But these are few and far between.

For people who DON’T need to be in office, forced RTO is stupid because it wastes commute time.

For people who DO need to be in office, forced RTO for others is stupid because it creates more peak hour traffic and lunch rushes, making their own commute/lunch suck more.

For urban planning, forced RTO is stupid because again it increases road usage and creates unnecessary clumps of high-density areas, causing inconsistent use of urban infrastructure.

For landlords, forced RTO makes sense because it props up inflated real estate prices.

Guess what’s happening now?

why do we insist on giving this guy so much free advertising? move on already lol

lol. India is just like Trump - did something wrong and is now throwing a tantrum when they’re being called out on it.

Significantly less unnecessary traffic on the roads

nonono, if all the lowly peasants get a comfortable wage, how would execs be able to afford their second summer homes? Won’t someone think of them?

But it’s possible for a sizeable proportion of workers. Equally shocking!

if only there was a way to get work done while avoiding the commute…

great work!

i don’t doubt that linux has its uses and command-line is powerful. What I’m saying is >80% of users only know how to use a GUI, and that is why linux won’t go mainstream without having a GUI for everything user-facing.

I haven’t seen any ads, so my feelings about Windows might change at some point. But I’ve tried linux in the past, and there’s a reason why it just doesn’t get as much adoption.

First of all, linux seems to be built around the command line. I hate using the command line, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Everytime there’s something to troubleshoot I have to figure out command line inputs and outputs.

Second, the annoying issues with windows are annoying, but I’ve learnt to figure it out. No, I don’t want to set as default, no I don’t want to send data, no i don’t want to create a MS account. Even if I didn’t figure it out, I can still change it later - sending data is annoying af and i don’t like it, but it doesn’t stop me from doing something. On the other hand, i encounter issues with linux that stop me from actually using the OS all the time. Everytime I do, I have to post in forums asking for help, wait 12-36 hours while using an alternate OS/workaround, and dread the inevitable use of command-line that follows.
