What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?
  • No, you get spam because the email protocol doesn't stop spam. You could create a new email address but then you have to give that to everyone who might not appreciate yet another contact method they have to remember for you.

    I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure DeltaChat uses PGP, which leaks all of your metadata to your email provider, ISP, and governments. It isnt private but is secure.

    These days the best thing you can do is use Signal.

  • 'It just exploded': Springfield woman claims she never meant to spark false rumors about Haitians
  • This is the kind of outrage response that is ruining society. Everyone gossips and it sounds like she was repeating something she heard elsewhere instead of making it up on the spot.

    The blame for the violence against immigrants falls squarely on the shoulders of Dotard Dump for taking a single soundbite (probably out of context) and blasting it to the world and directly inti into the brains of his nazi followers. This lady wasn't orchestrating a disinformation campaign, she was victim to one.

    If one person told Adolph one time that "Juden sind schlect" would you seriously blame them for the entire holocaust?

    I do think there's a lesson here about the dangers of social media, disinformation, and republicans though.

  • Could you do me a favour and make this post look like a Reddit post?
  • One summer when I was a teenager, my friends and I decided to take a road trip to the next town over. We packed up my old beat-up car and set off, eager for a day of adventure and mischief. As we cruised down the highway, windows down and music blaring, I couldn't help but feel a sense of freedom and excitement. Little did I know that our carefree jaunt would take an unexpected turn in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

  • Meatspin
  • Same here. Raised by fundamentalist catholics. Its funny you mention pumping gas though haha. I couldn't pump gas because my cousin did once and got soaked in gas. I learned decades later its because he wasn't supposed to pump the gas but did anyway when no one was watching and squeezed the handle as he pulled it out of the pump and sprayed it everywhere.

    I couldn't play Magic: The Gathering because you "summoned" monsters and that meant summoning demons to my mom. Same story with YuGiOh and Pokemon.

    Halloween was the devils holiday and was a somber affair. I wasn't allowed to go trick or treating until I was like 10 or 11 or something. I think I eventually wore them down.

    Harry Potter was the work of Satan and was going to force me to be wiccan and eat babies or something. I literally had to read it in secret like Harry studying magic with his aunt and uncle. My parents weren't abusive like Petunia and Vernon, but I related a lot to Harry's oppression.

    I had several straight crushes in middle/high school that I wasn't allowed to date or even really talk to.

    There's probably a lot more that I've finally been able to forget.

    That's not even getting into all the abuse I endured as an LGBT teen.

  • Wikipedia is facing an existential crisis. Can gen Z save it?
  • This is reads like anti-labor propaganda. They hired hundreds more employees and subsequently paid them (presumably) decent wages which drove their expenses up. Personnel costs are pretty much always the biggest expense in (almost?) any organization.

    This article smells very much like elon "fire all the engineers to increase efficiency" logic, right down to describing the employed as a cancer.

    Repugnant.

  • Hakeem Jeffries rejects GOP spending bill as ‘unserious and unacceptable’
  • Oh man I bet repugnants are fucking thrilled for a shutdown in Oct. Not only do they get to turn off the government (a big goal for them) they ALSO get to interfere with the election at the same time! Win-win for them!

  • What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?
  • You know, I've heard a lot of good things about Helix; if it gets more people using modal editors then I'm all for it. Personally though, I haven't seen a convincing reason to leave Vim yet.

    The biggest reason though is that my editor works literally everywhere. Even without my custom vimrc, vanilla vim is hugely powerful, and to have that on every random server I need to access is a gamechanger for me. Even if all you have is Vi, you still have a very capable editor available.

    I mean uh.... Crushed by a boulder! Which on Lemmy means you'll be downvoted into oblivion until they run you off the instance haha.
