The floodgates between Chinese and Western meme cultures are now open. It will be glorious.

please don't use deprecated syntax

Gender is a pointer

If making good software was their goal they wouldn't be in the situation where software engineers are replaceable with AI.

the more the merrier

They are removing them for the same reason they introduced them in the first place. Don't think they honestly believe either way, they just bend with the wind in politics.

• "fine" - really fine
• "fine" - not fine but you don't have to worry about me
• "fine" - not fine and I'm worried about myself, and you shold be too
• "fine" - please help, I don't know how to survive until tomorrow

Instantly redecorate. For best results use one per room

It's a factor. I'm aware my political opinions are in the minority and unlikely to be implemented. Being able to demonstrate that I tried to do something gives legitimacy to my criticism.

Which one is which that's the big question

They weren't before? Instagram was running political ads since at least 2017. It went under the radar because it wasn't in the US, and nobody cares about content not in English.

Because they won't do it randomly. Being forced to participate will make people think: "If I have to do it I might as well choose X". If you ever participated in a mandatory school activity you might know the feeling. You might not have chosen to do it of your own free will, but now that you're there let's think what to make of it.

Also politics is not just voting. Politics is almost every choice you make every day. If I have to drag someone kicking and screaming until they understand it so be it.

Also also, voting randomly is not useless. Keeping the political system functional is preferable to forever pining for a perfect candidate. A "perfect glorious leader" doesn't exist, random votes make those emotionally swayed by charismatic leaders less likely to gain a majority.

I remember most older people appearing "normal" when I was younger. But now that I'm almost 40 most of my peers seem unapologeticaly unhinged. Not fitting into what our parents thought as non-weird at all.

Actually, maybe kids these days see me as "perfectly normal old guy", and it's just a generational divide.

1. They don't get to complain because they refused to do the bare minimum.
2. Contribute to the many reasons I had to leave my home country. Not sure it would be different otherwise, but going immigrant without a fallback plan wasn't pleasant.
3. Mandatory voting - I'm for it as long as it's Australian style - no severe punishment, just light fines. Enough to quietly annoy people into voting.

Only young people think this. Everyone gets weirder with age. Or better said accepts their weirdness and dgaf.

Every company's lineup these days:

Pro > Pro Max > Pro Max Ultra > Pro Max Ultra Black Edition

Better headline: Dell kills all brands

Given that Dell has lost most of it's old reputation in the last couple of years, not surprising that radical moves were taken. Trying to navigate Dells product range was a quick way to get a headache.

Lemmy may be free to access, but certainly not free to host. Am I paying for it personally? No, but someone is.

Kind reminder to donate to whoever is hosting your instance. Covering a share of costs increases the chances they will continue running it.

Usually I delete them immediately after posting while still drunk. There's something about clicking post that makes me immediately feel self-cringe.
