thank you :)

hi, what does FTA mean? google shows a lot of different answers, thanks

companies can’t keep getting away with this

I’ll revise my opinion when Valve changes to a more overtly predatory model of capitalism, but for now, I’ll enjoy only needing to keep a partial eye open.

this is the correct approach towards how a society should support big buisnesses. the companies that don’t fuck us over will continue to get my public support and money

hmm, so… I had the notifications category set to on. by doing this, I could see the different categories, so I think you have to have it on to select the correct categories instead of switching it off like you said.

HOWEVER, check this bullshit out:

I can’t turn important updates off, and there’s one they don’t even let me see. wtf!! I wish there was another company that did folding phones as good as Samsung 😢

this company is about to implode, no doubt. there’s no way they recover from this when they launch whatever comes next (I hope I am wrong, but this is just so messy)

You can kinda turn them off if you silence it like I did

the pain today is real for my IT buddies

yeah, I switched it back. for a split second, I just couldn’t believe they had the audacity to do that… lol

I updated my work laptop, and they put their shitty copilot button on the bottom right and TURNED OFF MY SHOW DESKTOP BUTTON.

nothing more to add, just wanted to vent with people who may understand my rage with windows lol

I agree with pretty much everything you’ve stated except for:

The problem is, too many people keep trying to think, how can we make the Fediverse relevant in the modern world?

I dont think this is a problem. The fediverse accomplishes exactly what it sought to do, a decentralized social network. This is uncharted territory and has been working out surprisingly well. I thought I would be off this 2 months after reddit killed 3rd party clients, but here I am!!

the minute we start to push growth at any cost is the minute the fediverse quality declines, in my opinion.

guess I’ll be skipping this until they fix it

theyre sinking too much money trying to avoid using activitypub

thanks for this! I’ve always wanted to get started on my own self hosting solution

i would say no, as there can be programming you can begin that doesn’t involve math. what I would recommend is to begin your own project by looking to see what you can automate in your life.

when I was in middle school, I told a teacher I wanted to program when I got older, and she scared me because she said that involves a lot of math. at the time, I hated math, so I avoided programming completely. it wasn’t until I was 24 that I gave it a shot and was so upset at how misinformed I was. I wish I could turn back time, but oh well.

is there something you do at your current job that you think can be automated?

I think this is something you’re gonna have to just jump into and start since you don’t have anything to work off of. it’s going to take a lot of work, but at least you’ll be able to work off your own ATFs once you finish. good luck…

remix on glitch? can I edit the html of my page? this sounds like myspace, and I’m here for it
