Technology@lemmy.world•Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDsEnglish
4·12 hours agoDeleted this very morning, goodest of bye’s.
Good on them for stating it upfront though. (The mention of “alt-right” indicates a more recent version?).
Back in the 90’s/early 00’s it definitely attracted people both left and right winged.
However from my personal experience right wingers was more prevalent in wargaming compared to rpg’s. (Which really sucked because there you were enjoying a nice back n forth about Warhammer and then out comes the racist nazi talk…)
Games Workshop did good by making a pretty strong statement a while ago. But I’m afraid it’ll always be a thing.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•What's your current situation with Google?
5·15 hours agoOh we’re way past “it’s complicated”. I skipped “on a break” and were now cleaning out the appartement.
All that’s left is double/tripple checking that mailbox for any loose ends and it’s bye bye!!!
I’ll answer the Europe question:
Illegal. North America is, and will forever be, stolen land.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•"i am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising"
8·1 day agoThat’s right, refuse this pollution for the senses to rob your time.
Die advertising, just die.

3·2 days agoI hear ya, getting into it can be messy. And having a VM on the side is a good choice.
My current idea of a solid setup to manage long term:
*A main machine that has a bare-bones, lightweight Distro on it. Just the stuff you need to work + a VM program to run:
VM1: a copy of your main OS, test stuff out here first if you think it’s risky.
VM2: big tech corp spy software IF you need it. (Keep that sucker offline)
(And make backups/snapshots of your installation every once in a while).
If you have it: second machine: this one is for degoogling ect, save your social media stuff here before you take it out back.
If you have it: 3rd machine to run as a personal server (working on that myself)
This can all be old gear. In the process of getting to know Linux better and better (which is an ongoing process for all of us) you’ll get more and more fluent.
You got this! Don’t give up!

6·2 days agoHave you considered slowly transitioning to another account/service?
I’ve been going through my google account for almost a year now, taking my time to really deal with all that stuff so I can close it for good.
Last year they announced updating their policy to include data usage for AI purposes or something => deleted the next day.
It’s never gotten me a job, it doesn’t mean anything.
All it is is people posting their “look I’m an influencer now too” takes written in semi corporate speak. Boring, meaningless meanderings of self importance.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What desktop operating system would you recommend to the average user?
81·2 days agoMint, even though it’s becoming a bit of a boring hyped up answer. It does work out of the box and it’s got a good balance between being familiar enough for newcomers and a full Linux distro.
Also, I imagine the community must be HUGE by now, meaning lots of help out there if needed.

3·2 days agoI don’t know what is more dispicable and sad, that there’s people who would watch this or that there’s people who make this kind of low brow, knuckle dragging sleezebag content.









Too late mfr, you’ve seen the K-pop demon hunters movie and you’re obsessed.
