There were many theories but people are emotionally stuck on what they were told.

Yeah I don't change my mind on this. I will take the vaccines when there are no side effects.

An amazing reminder of race, identity and self image in c/tenforward@lemmy.world
[–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

I always felt like an outsider too but not because of any special race or identity. Its just normal today to not fit in with the normies, if you have any kind of special interests at all.

But ive had friends at work sharing my sense of humor and way of thinking. It has nothing to do with race for me. Its just that some people naturally just like me and I like them.

I mean, the equivalent of blocking someone in real life is just not having contact with them. It happened to me a few times, but always over things like having nothing incommon. Never over these topics. I feel like the reaction online is 100 times over the top. :)

They See Your Photos (theyseeyourphotos.com)
 

Shows all the information Google gets from just one photograph, using Ai.

Sleep on it: the $700 San Francisco ‘pod’ with privacy curtains and charging ports (www.theguardian.com)
 

This is not dystopian at all, is it? Humans sleeping in pods. I guess it beats homelessness but this seems like a fail on epical levels (unless profits for these pod companies are what we care about).

LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences (x.com)
 

It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Alien Romulus (lemmy.today)

I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?

Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.

I didn't feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.

Just disappointed. How about you guys?

Valve reminds Steam users they don't actually own a darn thing they buy (www.gamesradar.com)
 

I guess it's just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.

Kagi Snaps (help.kagi.com)
 

This is not revolutionary but it saves some keystrokes when wanting to limit results to certain sites.

Personally I don't really limit anything with Kagi. It's usually just finding what I want without having to do anything.

I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people's systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.

All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai...

How is the calories meter on exercise bikes accurate (lemmy.today)
 

The bike knows my height and weight and that's about it. From that it can calculate how my body burns calories?

Every body is very different, so I don't see how any calculation can be accurate.

Hetzner launches s3-compatible object storage (docs.hetzner.com)
 

I can't express how much I love hetzner doing this. There is a huge market for people who just need some instances and reliable/cheap object storage to run their apps.

Explain why the US bail system is not insane (lemmy.today)
 

If you have money, you can pay the bail and get released, while poor people can't.

I don't see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?

Bosses are firing Gen Z grads just months after hiring them—here’s what they say needs to change (fortune.com)
 

Is gen z intentionally refusing to change their behavior for work, or what is the reason for this?

Kind of think it's cool that they remain themselves.
