  • The state of SCOTUS is abhorrent. We truly are on the verge of a second Civil War. The terrorists have successfully infiltrated all levels of government. And they are not the terrorists featured on your local Fixed News affiliate. It’s your neighbors and often times rural areas.

    Democrats won the battle (ie, reclaiming presidency) but have lost the war.

  • Posting this guy's ramblings here feels like cheating
  • the reason this person has any relevancy (same with the other shit posters on that godforsaken platform), is because hate filled/controversial trash generates the most engagement.

    Algos can’t tell the difference between “negative” or “positive” engagement. Only “post has been engaged 1M times, must serve post to more people in bucket/cluster 9. Also serve adult diaper ads, and “alpha juice” ads”

    When Lemmy was making waves last year when Reddit pulled an “enshittification” of the platform. One of the first things I noticed was how terrible the experience was when trying to navigate to other Lemmy instances.

    Hopefully this will help bridge the gap when it becomes generally available.

    [discuss] future of this community?

    👋 !cfb@lemmy.world — noticed activity here is low, especially while in season. Prior to my post today regarding UT vs Alabama game, last activity was ~6 days ago.

    I would like to see this community flourish during the season like it does on the pretender “front page of the internet” site. I would be willing to invest time to automate creation of pre-, post-, and weekly discussion posts. But I don’t want to do that if the community is not active or is not wanted (ie, deemed as “spam”)

    Lmk your thoughts/opinions/suggestions.

    People who run on the street when there’s a sidewalk right there

    I see plenty of room to pass. Person running in the gutter lane. Sidewalks in this area look fucking rough (thanks, car centric transportation!).

    What’s mildly infuriating is the asshole taking a picture WHILE operating a motor vehicle.

    Rate my Component Selection

    Context: looking to build a 4K gaming setup and maintain at least 120 fps. Occasional video editing involved.

    Haven’t built a PC in a long time (7-8 yrs at least). Other PC was an Intel but decided to go with AMD this time around since it appears there is minimal difference in terms of performance.

    As far as GPU selection, doesn’t seem like there is much diff between 4080 and 4090 so decided to go with the former.

    As far as memory and disk, I do realize 128G and 8TB of disk drive is excessive. These might be the areas I will shave off some $$$

    For PSU, decided to go with the top tier choice as indicated in this list: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

    PSU is something I would prefer not to skimp on. Also PCpartpicker does not list “ASUS | ROG Loki Platinum” for some reason and just selected a similar model.

    Open to suggestions, critique, or roast 😂

    [opinion] tab groups in safari suck

    Maybe it's just me, but I find the default tab group behavior in Safari to be complete ass. It doesn't have the natural Apple feel to it. It feels like an after thought that Apple developers threw in there to compete with Chrome.

    Why do I have to open up a separate menu to get to my tab groups? Why can't it be integrated into the same window like Chrome does? Every time I switch between tab groups, it has to reload every site.

    Not only is it too high. But this placement is absolutely brain dead. How are you supposed to watch in bed in a comfortable position? Have to do some advanced yoga position to get your daily fix.
