Never trust a rant from a person that can't install Windows.

People who craft intentionally misleading titles with a qualifier at the end that diffuses the statement have been proven to be pedophiles, schwim says.

More guns in the hands of the other children would have kept this travesty from occurring. #hopesandprayers

You can still opt out by opting not to use Dropbox.

You should post this to more groups. You're dominating the front page.

I don't think the issue is performance though. The unspoken part of this comparison is in bold:

"Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games. In the games we could find that work on linux, the performance was 17% faster on average. In all the rest of the games, Windows worked 100% better."

YT's push into ad-blocker blocking did the same for me that Reddit's API change did, that being it was enough of a push for me to stop using their platform. In Reddit's case, I get my fix from Lemmy and in YT's case, I use Freetube to watch videos. In both cases, I'm sure they're not losing money in my absence but I do feel better not giving them the data that I used to.

Trending: adjective

  1. emerging as a popular trend: trending fashion accessories.

  2. widely mentioned or discussed on the internet, especially on social media websites: trending topics on Twitter.

Over the months, I've come to the realization that the trending communities section is absolutely useless. Whatever algorithm is used, it doesn't have anything to do with the community being new, active or changing in participation. Literally, the same empty 0-post communities will sit in that block without change, aside from rarely one 0-post community will get bumped by another 0-post community.

Will there ever come a time where the trending section will provide trending communities or is what's shown actually intended?

Sadly, it seems both sides of any discussion have now mastered hyperbole, manipulating statistics, leaving out facts and stretching the truth to make their argument. You basically can't believe anything you read any longer.

Orrrr.... don't use Google Chrome.

You can still opt out by not visiting the site, which I encourage everyone to try.

But they hate much more than just trans people. You could have said 50% and you would have been closer to the truth.

I won't sit through a non-organic product placement. If I'm watching a guy weld up a body panel and he tells me how great a welder is, it doesn't bother me. If I'm watching and he starts telling me about his VPN or a phone game, that shit's getting skipped.
