Niagara Falls Uses My Tears
  • Til Larry page and Sergei brin still own alphabet, I was sure they sold it off in my head, and that's when the enshittification began, I can't imagine butchering something you actually founded this badly.

  • New Macbook, hesitant on using Al Dente app or batt, thoughts?
  • I've been using batfi for over a year and its one of my must have apps, I don't even have limit charging or charging protections enabled. The features I always use are the menu bar battery icon with inline % and extra battery info in menu bar dropdown, like: battery %graph, power distribution meter(shows charging/discharging speed over different sources), battery temp, battery health %, apps with significant battery usage.

  • confused about communities and servers.
  • I definetly understand the benifits of this, but a lot of these communities post the same or a lot of duplicate content.

    Also didn't think about the nonsensical moderation in one community, so maybe mirroring them wouldn't be that great of an idea.

  • confused about communities and servers.

    I'm new here, and have been looking into different communities to subscribe to, it's pretty difficult to decide which ones to subscribe to when theres often the same community on more than one server. (Example: internetisbeautiful on @feddit.de, @lemmy.ee, @lemmy.ml)

    I'm not super savvy but couldn't they merge them and have the community hosted as mirrors of each other on both for redundancy? If I'm wrong, do correct me, again, not super savvy and also new here.

    Is there a normal non culty community for macs here?
  • Doesn't this require disabling SIP? Also it's difficult to troubleshoot in general since it happens very randomly, there will be periods of it happening hourly (force quitting in activity monitor brings the cpu usage back to 0) and then it wont happen for weeks or sometimes months, I've started noticing 2 years ago, shortly after buying the machine, and last time it happened was about a month or 2 ago

  • Is there a normal non culty community for macs here?

    I've been struggling to find any resource for mac tech support/general questions. The r/mac subreddit is more of a cult or something(same with apple forums except its non competent apple employees), I've had the problem of siri running in the background (while having siri disabled) and it using over 100% of a cpu core, bringing the temps up by 20-30 degrees while idle, and the only answer I've got there was on the lines of "trust you're computer bro, it knows more than you". I'd love a community to ask mac specific questions and not have people who get personally offended when someone criticizes or points out a problem on apple devices.

    What are some good algorithm free alternatives to YouTube?

    Gratitude for open social media alternatives.
  • Don't they have that thing where you can turn your account into a self hosted website? Maybe decentralized wasn't the best word, I mean users don't have to rely on the website staying up / moderators not going mad or stuff like that.

  • Gratitude for open social media alternatives.

    A while ago I started loosing hope in the internet, even before ai it was mostly bots, and copy and paste articles. Everything is exponentially getting more and more malicious, with algorithms made to suck you in with obviously no care for the human user, just make stock go up, and make comically evil board members happy.

    Not enough people are talking about what lemmy and bluesky have done, I'm not that tech savvy but from what I've understand their decentralized nature makes people always in control as opposed to one company.

    Going on these sites brings me back to the earlier days of the internet, where it felt like interacting with real people, posting to an actual community, rather than being in one of those dystopian movies with slurm drinks and infinite amount of trash being pumped out by bots, to get as many views for monetization/outreach which is what pretty much all major social medias feel today.

    Thinkpad for the win
  • I thought of getting a laptop from tuxedocomputers, the original reason I got a mac was I was fed up with windows, my last laptop was toast, and needed something asap, that i didn't need a time investment to use since uni courses were starting soon. Learning there's a company that makes fair priced, built for linux machines with their own distro, that now seems like the perfect device for me.

    The one good thing about macs is they don't loose that much value, so I can resell it and buy something other than a mac
