  • i want to emigrate to Equestria!!! 🥺

    • Migrants scapegoated as cause of Australia’s housing crisis a ‘disturbing’ trend, advocates say

  • the point isn't really to convince anyone on the spot. that's the insidiousness of this kind of propaganda.

    it's always there. it will always be there. every time you face a problem in your life, there's an article in your periphery that blames migrants, or minorities, or migrant minorities. and sure, you don't believe them. you're rational and aware that this is manipulation.

    but then nothing gets better. there are just even more problems, some completely different in kind. and a bunch of people seem to think it's the migrants and minorities again. but you know that's manipulation.

    then you lose your home because the economy is fucked, and you lose your job due to downsizing, and the job market is terrible, and you're heading for poverty. now you're afraid, and sad, and angry, and wondering where you went wrong. you're looking for something to blame, someone to blame.

    and there's an article making a very pontificated argument about why this economic and social crisis has been exacerbated by "mass immigration" since about when you first started reading those articles.

    a lot of people will start questioning themselves here, and in desperation, look for a way out they haven't tried yet: imagining that the people pushing that message are correct, and campaigning for change. because nothing ever changes for the better.

    the rich toast another vintage wineglass.

  • the fact that i was paywalled trying to read this pretty much says all one needs to know about where such a sentiment could be coming from. HMMMMMMMM

    • Linux DNS settings is a total mess

    Jump

  • not reliable, even if it should be. i've seen updates replace the file in a way that clears the read-only flag. same with other clever tricks like making it a symlink.

    • Lemmy, if you were do to it, which Pokémon would you get a tatttoo of? And why?

    Jump

  • Unown!!! so many possibilities there, or just pick some random ones.

    • Unity backtracks slightly on plans to charge developers for game installs

    Jump

  • i see this as an absolute win.

    • Is Firefox browser's password manager safe? If not, Are there any other free safe alternatives?

    Jump

  • the big feature i use from premium is the ability to use hardware 2fa. i use a Yubikey to secure it further. worth the peace of mind imo, and Bitwarden has never once failed me in the years i've been using it!

    • Flatpak integration is still not great

    Jump

  • "hey guys, I'm having a problem with my Linux install that doesn't seem very common--"

    "YOU'RE STUPID AND I HATE YOU"

    this is EXACTLY why Linux gurus have a bad rep. remember the human, for goodness' sake. don't act like you've never run into a strange problem in your entire computing life that required digging deep into some 2003 forum post to solve.

    • Intentionally chose an open ecosystem for the smart relays in my house, now they crippled the app adding a $4 subscription

    Jump

  • you may be interested in the open-source "Home Assistant". it's a free home automation hub thingy that supports practically every brand and protocol out there, including Shelly. if you're technical enough to set it up, free yourself from proprietary apps!

    • Look guys! There's a Lemmy version of r/place happening!

    Jump

  • kindly grow up. people are allowed to like different things than you.

    • Microsoft in EU antitrust crosshairs over Teams, Office tying

    Jump

  • this is absolutely justified. my company switched from Slack (which we all largely enjoyed using) to the bundled Teams (which causes problems all day every day for everyone) solely because they were already paying for Office and Teams was free.

    on the other hand, i can't imagine how much money we're losing from the lost productivity...
