on UK's 'dismal' Eurovision song choices to be examined by MPs in c/europe@feddit.org · 5d ago
None of it matters. The UK can come last. That’s also ok. No need to be a sore loser. Get over competition. No need to be all competitive. Politicians should be more collaborative than competitive. Who votes for these politicians? Thats the real question.

Yes its dumm to stay on there because of family. As your family has then to stay there because you are there, and suffer the harmful experience. You are then to blame for any shit that happens to them on there.
Get off. Close it down. Post your stuff somewhere decentralised and let them know how to contact you. If they want to see your pictures, post them there only.

on It takes 5 cloud services to hear my doorbell · Bit Nebula in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1 Sep 2026
Yes. Sadly you often don’t get any choice. Especially if you are not an IT pro. The whole digital landscape for users is a disaster. With separate silos, incompatible formats, information loss and slow, manual effort with no overview. This is caused by big business land grabs and the total lack of information standards. A shameful state of IT to have in 2026.

on Microsoft totally breaks Windows Defender virus scans in trying to fix a 0-day flaw in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
Keep going Microsoft. Constantly giving users more reasons to switch to a secure OS. One that is not spying on them.

on I can't use Linux! It's too hard! in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 13 Aug 2026
I’m saying it’s never part of my workflow on Linux. I’m sure a lot of people don’t need it. Even if they could find it. You can’t do the things I mostly do, with a command line. And if the install is broken, I wouldn’t try to guess my way to fix it. A reinstall is likely to be quicker.

Not seen any black screen with text. I don’t think all distros have that. I expect non IT users never get to see that.

I think it comes with a text editor already built in. I don’t need a text editor though.
“I went into the shop and said ‘do you sell pervert glasses? I wanna buy some pervert glasses’. So I bought a pair. And I was wearing ma pervies, and walking down the street. But they didn’t work! Everything looks the same. All the people… no different! Still dressed. I mean. What are they supposed to do? Bloody waste of money!”
