I wonder how many of those guys are actually trying to put women down, and how many are just trying to be helpful and talk to another human being.

I'm surprised this is news to people but I guess sex education varies between countries maybe.

How do you know you aren't smart? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I agree :) And I let them make this mistake for that reason too. Just like you say, it's best to go out there and try things and sometimes fail.

I still fail when I go my own way but I prefer it, because when I succeed, it's also my own win!

What seemingly random thing do you vehemently hate? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Happens all the time yeah.

I tried to find where it was but can't find it...

Am I the only one who does this? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

I almost never even downvote because it's an active choice to push down someone's opinion.

I also had bugs around window rules to be honest.

But we need a place to discuss and vent.

It's nice that you are trying to do the right thing, but you guys really got that Reddit vibe here, where moderators "allow" things instead of "serving" the communities.

But maybe others will like this post more. I like the initiative and trying to talk to users in a mature way.

People did this to themselves.

Unless we see some kind of regulation, today's big tech is tomorrow's big brother.

Which dystopic megacorp do we get first in our brave new world? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Yeah I don't see how anyone can not see it's Google... Who else is even close to having all our data? All the web searches, mobile android play backend, maps, Google streetcar, etc etc... They know everything.

In don't know of there is a huge difference to looking up examples in the docs and pasting them into the code. That's what people do otherwise, so... :)

I think this is the perfect analogy for what's happening right now to the open web.

We are part of the Cosy Web here on Lemmy.. :)

Your phone minus the distractions (getbrick.app)
 

This is actually pretty brilliant and innovative.

With other solutions, the "key" that re-enables distractions is always present. Brick allows you to leave that key behind, turning your phone into a new, distraction-free device until you return.

This tickles some part of my brain... The scanning part is so cool. Would you use an app like this?

Things the guys who stole my phone have texted me to try to get me to unlock it - Gothamist (gothamist.com)
 

This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don't like Apple but it's great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

Reddit guides IPO may price at top of range or above, source says (finance.yahoo.com)
 

Get your shorts ready, this will be very interesting to follow. Seems like the stock will appear tomorrow already?

I fully expect a nosedive in stock price but who knows. Maybe a pump and dump.

Who is actually surprised by this? I would be more surprised if young Americans felt it was a great place to live.

I didn't know reddit gave out the personal details of their users, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Cosmic Desktop Alpha - new blog post (blog.system76.com)
 

The floating window stacks looks nice, and also the OSD's. :)

I know this probably won't feel like a compete desktop environment when it comes out, but it's looking promising. I think it will feel faster and smoother then Gnome and Plasma, but that's just a guess.

OpenAI Has Google in Its Sights With New Online Search Product (www.businessinsider.com)
 

This is the first thing I actually believe has a chance to hurt Google. Chat Gpt really succeeded, and it's Microsofts billions behind it. All at the same time as Google has lost its culture of innovation and has become a creepy sleezy company.
