  • A man is sentenced to death on Sunday and told he will be executed on a day in the upcoming week, but it will be a surprise that he will not see coming. He reasons he cannot be executed on the next Sunday, since if he made it to Saturday and was still alive, he would know he was being executed on Sunday since it's the last day. Because he cannot be executed on Sunday, Saturday becomes the last day and he reasons he can't be executed then either. He follows this logic all the way down to Monday and concludes that he will not be executed.

    He was executed on Tuesday and was very surprised.

  • I understand all of that. The way it is now, compound interest only serves to deepen the pit many people find themselves in financially. The system doesn't work, so just because it can be beneficial to a few people sometimes doesn't mean it's worth keeping around.

  • I came across a highly upvoted comment on Lemmy saying that they wished someone would engineer a virus to fucking murder everyone with right-wing fundamentalist views. Now, I don't like right-wingers and think they need to fuck off, but calling for the presumably extremely slow and painful (as viruses tend to be) deaths of so many millions of people is pretty fucked up and I got heavily downvoted for pointing that out.

    Yeah, this place is even more toxic than Reddit. There was a period when it was new that it seemed like everyone was a lot nicer and more positive, but that has ended.

  • And this is why I leave automatic updates off and stopped updating Gmail as soon as I heard they were inserting ads. I know something will probably break to force me to update eventually, but not today!

  • It's a little embeddable mini-app that you can put on the home screen of your phone along with your app icons. For example, you might display the current weather on your home screen using a widget.

  • they're

    You mean the politicians and those who knowingly support them. Killing every fundie means killing a lot of religious people who don't pay attention to politics and vote R because their parents vote R and their grandparents vote R. It also includes the people who don't even fucking vote! You people are psychopaths.

  • There should be a law that says that if something you buy loses any functionality whatsoever due to a software update, you should be able to return it for a 100% full refund no matter what condition it's in. That should incentivise companies not to pull this shit.

    Same should go with ads being inserted that weren't there before. Imagine how much money Google would lose if everyone returned their Pixels over more ads being forced on them in the Play Store.
