I hate antichrist meme template.

two people wearing helmets with logos of big corporations are raiding a house. The text below them reads, "we've got you surrounded, use our dis-services".

the person whose house is being raided is hiding, holding a gun with logos of GNU, Linux, Lineageos, Firefox, and Lemmy. The text above him says, "I hate corporations, I hate crony-capitalism."

NotVladimirPutin69: How to make brownies for my birthday?

johansson55: so you're gonna need a baking tray, preferably one about 8x8 inches, some parchment paper, 1 cup of sugar, 3/4 cup of AP flower, 2/3 cup of cocoa powder and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, about half a cup of chocolate chips, a teaspoon of sea salt, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract start by preheating the oven to 325 farenheit (-163 celcius), lightly spray your baking dish with some cooking spray and then add the parchment paper (this makes it easier to remove the-

johansson55: brownies when they're done. mix the dry ingredients (and the chocolate chips) in a bowl, remember to sift the powdered sugar and cocoa through a fine mesh strainer to avoid clumping. and in a larger bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of water, and then slowly add the dry ingredients. stir until combined, but not too much, then pour the mixture into your baking dish. bake for —45 minutes, and voila, brownies!! (let cool completely before removing from the baking dish)

johansson55: Hope this helps!! Let me know how it goes if you do decide to make them I haven't used this recipe in a while, but hopefully it works out

Just doing my part 🤡 by lemmesay in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 50 points 4 months ago

plastic waste per capita: the US is at top(if we exclude small island nations)
plastic waste in absolute terms: the US is not far behind China, with India at a distant third place.

the reduction is plastic waste generation in China is far more than that of US^1^.

so, what I mean to say is that more people ≠ more pollution. but I do agree that the problem is to be tackled with active participation of the government, which won't be there because of muh economy.

[1]: By 2016, China's overall plastic waste production had fallen to 21.60 million tons, a reduction of nearly 28 million tons (for comparison, U.S. production fell less than 4 tons during the same time period). Moreover, despite being one of the largest overall producers of plastic waste, China's per capita production of plastic waste was one of the lowest in the world in 2016 at 15.6 kilograms a year per person.

classic opsec mistake by lemmesay in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 59 points 4 months ago

it was late 2000s(he was arrested in 2013, before snowden leaks). and the guy wasn't a "hacker". he created the website where stuff(both legal and illegal) was sold. so, you have to keep that perspective in mind.

you're underestimating people's capability to make such mistakes. remember silk road? the guy used the same username in two places, and gave his email id(which had his full name) in one of them.

Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. by lemmesay in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 102 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

please take a look at the replies under zuck's own post in threads.net and determine if that's the type of content you want.

for those who don't want to visit, majority of the commentators are bots. some advertising crypto, and others asking for money.

even if you think you can individually block those accounts, keep in mind the size of threads compared to fediverse.
for Lemmy: monthly active users are barely ~~150K~~40K, while for threads it's 100 million. there's no chance you can control that inflow of bots.

and if it still doesn't convince you, you can read threads' privacy policy, which states that they'll gather all that pii if you interact with their content.

most of the internet is already bigtech, I don't want Lemmy to become another arm of it. though I have faith in my instance maintainer and dessalines, the dev.

I love vim by lemmesay in c/[email protected]

explanation for the command ci":
c: change. analogous to delete(d) followed by insert(i)
i: inside
": the double quote
so, it's basically change inside double quote(easier to remember as it sounds exactly what it does).
you can similarly do di((delete inside parenthesis).

an inferior alternative on vscodium would be shift + alt + right/left arrow

Jon Stewart’s Apple TV Plus show ends, reportedly over coverage of AI and China by lemmesay in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 55 points 8 months ago

another reminder that apple's "privacy, that's iPhone" is a marketing gimmick. they profit from surveillance and censorship in China^1^. elsewhere, this catchphrase has allowed them to suck Facebook's as revenue into their growing ad business, surpassing even tiktok in terms of ad revenue^2^.

they'll happily do pink washing, but will try everything do dilute labour rights^3^.

so, apple is just your average big tech. nothing exceptional about them(except for them suing regular people to oblivion^4^).

in case of hitting a paywall, either disable JavaScript, or use bypass paywalls clean.

YouTube cracking on ad blockers. by lemmesay in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 136 points 8 months ago

to people saying YouTube is a moneysink for google:

yes it is, if you just look at direct expenses of running it. but you're overlooking the fact that it has enabled google to amass so much data(we're taking about 500 hours worth of videos being uploaded per minute) that they can train anything with it.

it's a service that's too big to fail. even whole governments, courts, and other institutions depend on it. so, I refuse to believe that YouTube will be non-existant because a sliver of users refuse to be profiled by invasive advertisements.
