Naw, that’s what shitty AI is for

I’ve seen it several times on Lemmy, Reddit, my news feed, my bloody RSS feed…etc

And I block ads., I don’t see ads, but now social media in general is just half astroturfed ads.

Ah yes, an internet classic.

Instead of engaging in meaningful conversation when the topic gets tough, you would prefer to fall back to insults.

👏

Have we collectively forgotten that Facebook tested manipulating users emotional states all the way back in 2014?

Where they tested to see if people with depression can be even more depressed if their social media feeds are manipulated to take away positive interaction.

I mean, yeah, so is electricity, aerofoils, and explosives. Old tech.

I’m not sure what your point is…

Whoosh

I mean probably because the scripting languages typically don’t provide the lower level utilities necessary to securely wipe files?

You’re not deleting files in a typical sense. You also need to scrub over those files so they cannot be put back together forensically.

You don’t really need to justify why you want to use Windows in this case.

You use Windows because you want to, That’s reason enough.

Any further justification just provides points for folks like this to latch on to

Lemmy is essentially just like Reddit at this point. It’s just a bunch of the lowest common denominator circle jerking a lack of critical thinking.

You cannot have intelligent discussion, and group think is all that matters. Folks will not read your comment, they will find the single phrase they disagree with and hold onto it for dear life, missing the entire point.

And then ignore the whole premise and idea behind the discussion and reply in a way that makes absolutely no sense if they had average reading comprehension…

I miss the old Internet, where you could actually have discussions and pass ideas back and forth.

No they didn’t that’s not banning advertising but that’s regulating a specific type of advertising.

There’s a pretty big difference.

You cannot get away from advertising, ever, in any society, in any financial system, at any point of time in history after tribal societie.

It’s a concept that you can’t just “ban”, nearly all the problems we have with it today is because it’s uncontrolled and abused. The concept itself though is as unbannable as the concept of “selling” something.

The concept:

“trying to find someone who can use something you made”

Is literally as old as humans moving away from tribal societies.

You can make the best thing in the world, but if no one knows about it, it’s still useless.
