So my workplace is mostly iPhone users and someone asked me what kind of antivirus software I used on my Android, and I said "none" and he flipped out about how unsafe it was. Other people chimed in saying how all androids need antivirus apps and I've never heard of such a thing. I do have ad-blockers and a VPN but never downloaded an antivirus. Should I? If so, what would you recommend? Thanks lemmings, love you.

Smells like they are trying to cut jobs without publicly announcing layoffs. Anywhere that treats its employees like this needs to be scarlet lettered, we need an open source list of shitty employers/shitty practices so they can start paying the meta tax. 😀

Lol. This might not be popular BUT there's a reason he doesn't make the cut in the movies or extended cut releases. Tom Bambodil is basically middle earth's "MyStErIoUs WaYs." This is a hot take but I would almost go so far as to say his existence in the world ruins the book, his songs/poetry are terrible and he's just kind of there. He is meant to be a mysterious figure that lends to the overarching mystery of the world, one who has always been around and is so powerful he is basically a god, but doesn't actually give a shit about the world outside of himself or the suffering of others. I see him as a vestige of JRRT's catholicism seeping through, this ultimate force that could end the war but didn't because reasons.

Edit: grammar is hard after wine

I have long said the KKK traded their white hoods for red caps. Fuck the GOP.

Hmm are you thinking of libraries? Because libraries and books should definitely not be burned and are a monumentally positive influence on their communities. I would highly recommend checking one out near you and researching the historical relationship between the indigenous people and "the church" so you better understand the context here.

Agreed, any mother that would medically torture their own child for years is irredeemable in my book. That being said, I'm glad Gypsy Rose is being released because she should not have been jailed in the first place. She was painted into a corner by her mother when she was "declared unfit" if she called the police they would have likely assumed she's an unreliable witness. That being said, it's awful that her ex is paying the price for her freedom. This to me seems like an open and shut case of "crime of passion" and the sentence doesn't reflect that, at all. It's a terrible situation all around.

I'm not super happy with the lack of supporting data, just colorful graphs and a lot of emotional anecdotes but there is a clear disparity that I think warrants greater investigation. I love the credit union movement and was shocked to read this article. I would love to hear your opinions lemmings!

Merry Happy! I posted a few days ago asking for help with a prelit tree that had entire portions not lighting up, or flickering like crazy. It was a crack tree situation and I could not find anything helpful on my own and you wonderful people came together and saved Christmas/ yamainwitch-mas. I was literally ready to just throw it out and have a festivus pole. You guys are the absolute best. A thousand thank yous! Sorry I don't have a crack tree before picture for you, I was too embarrassed lol. Lemmy is the best 🀩✨

Edit: here's the link to the og post for those who did not see my desperate plea for help lol https://lemmy.world/post/8889123.

Imma ride this high through the New Year! Special thanks to die444die! You literally walked me through how to do this, there's no way I could have done it with out you πŸ€©πŸ€— and Aevironis you helped me source the perfect lights which made the swap ✨flawless✨. Ahhh I'm just over the moon happy right now πŸ₯°πŸ’–πŸ₯³

Dearest lemmings, I have a prelit Costco tree that changes from warm white to color and several of the lights are out but I cannot for my life find a replacement anywhere. I called Costco/Polygroup (company that made the tree) and they don't sell replacement led light bulbs but they gave me these specs: LED dual color 3mm Green Base 20MA 1.8-2.4V or 2.8-3.6V. I tried buying a set of lights at Home Depot but they did not fit and my google-fu is failing me.

I'm insomnia scrolling and BAM this just made my night. I always wondered why they did drew them like that. It gives such a "yes Bartholomew I know what a lion looks like" vibe but then you have real life derps and it's amazing. Thanks for sharing!

I love how so many of us former reddit lurkers found a home on Lemmy/the fediverse. I have absolutely loved being a part of the greater community here, I don't know how else to describe it but it feels like my Internet home. I love all you fellow nerds. Obligatory fuck spez.

I laughed way too hard at this. But seriously most antiquities need to be returned to their places of origin. It's 2023 how is this still a conversation to be had?
