DOGE official at DOJ bragged about hacking, distributing pirated software

Sorry, it's far too late to try and get me to like these guys.

Gen Z are over having their work ethic questioned: ‘Most boomers don’t know what it’s like to work 40+ hours a week and still not be able to afford a house’ by johndroid in c/[email protected]

I know many people in their 50s who are Boomer as fuck.

Nova Launcher, savior of cruft-filled Android phones, is on life support by johndroid in c/[email protected]

It's still my launcher of choice and I'm going to ride it until the wheels fall off.

How many hours a day do you actually work? by johndroid in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

When I used to work in the office I probably worked about 5 hours a day at most. The rest was spent on personal projects, fucking around, whatever

Now that I work from home it varies between two and four.

My production is exactly the same.

Mike Pence tours Iowa state fair in search of votes – but who is his candidacy aimed at? by johndroid in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago

His "candidacy" is to have his living expenses covered for another year while squirreling away enough cash so he doesn't ever have to be an AM radio talk show host again.

Matty Healy: Malaysia festival cancelled after The 1975 singer attacks anti-LGBT law by johndroid in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago

think most people can tell that majority of African and Asian countries have anti-LGBT law without needing "international attention"

Until I read this very article, I had no idea that being gay in Malaysia was punished by 20 years in prison.

What is your opinion of online moderators? Do you think of them as an ally or an adversary? by johndroid in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Allies.

This isn't the 90s anymore. Today, unmoderated/poorly moderated online spaces are breeding grounds for the usual toxic assholes who ruin everything.

What series did you rewatch most often? by johndroid in c/[email protected]

Elon Musk says Twitter’s ad revenue is down 50% and cash flow is negative by johndroid in c/[email protected]

Maybe he should cut more checks to right-wing grifters. That should help.

Must resist by johndroid in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Since I left Reddit, I've had a few searches yield very helpful Reddit results. I read them and move on. I'm running an adblocker and I'm not providing value by commenting. I see no problem with this.

Beehaw defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works by johndroid in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So just like that a bunch of communities I'm subscribed to are gone? I guess I could make another account on beehaw but this is quickly becoming more trouble than it's worth. I've broken my Reddit addiction. Maybe it's time to leave lemmy before I get attached.

Going back to Reddit feels bad by johndroid in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

I popped into one of the few subreddits I participate in and the consensus was mostly, "Who cares about the API/third-party apps, I just want my Reddit back." Whatever, they can have it.

I've been working to curate my RSS feed in the last couple of days so I never need to visit Reddit at all (outside of being directed there by a Google search result).
