AlexWIWA, in Firefox reader view 🔛🔝

Reader view is also a god send if you have ADHD or just struggle with attention span around electronics.

lichtmetzger, (edited ) in Because customers don't need to easily filter away some stuff from their searches

Aliexpress search is just the worst in that regard. “Hey I want to buy microchip X123457” - “Sure, here are some other totally different chips and a few iPhone cases for you”.

Without site:aliexpress.com and search engines I would never find anything on there.

Not to mention that it changes the actual results if you decide to use any of its shitty filters or even order by price. Like, if your search result had 4 pages and you order by price, suddenly it’s now 2 pages. My bet is shady assholery to fuck with sellers that aren’t paying enough, much like Amazon

Kecessa, (edited ) in Happy Holidays

True story


At work in my department they told us we can put decorations in our (at home!) office but to try and stay religiously neutral. Meanwhile in my friend’s department (same employer) they got an email to wish employees a happy Easter back in April, happy Mawlid (celebration of Muhammad’s birth) back in September and happy Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah in October


I’m an atheist so I don’t celebrate any of these things and to me holidays should just be spread equally to give people long weekends, but I can’t help but laugh at the hypocrisy when it comes to Christmas compared to all other holidays through the year

That’s honestly refreshing to hear that your friends department encouraged them to celebrate multiple different religious holidays. There shouldn’t be any problem celebrating religious holidays as long as they are all given equal considerations and the company doesnt play favorites.

Kecessa,

To me anything religious should be treated as such, something private that has nothing to do with your workplace and only secular holidays should exist considering holidays are imposed by the government and there’s supposed to be a separation of religion and State (in my country anyway), but I know my opinion on this subject is pretty extreme.

can,

The holidays we have are so commercialized they hardly feel religious to me. Christmas and Easter are just times to spend with family, nothing to do with Jesus.

Kecessa,

Then people should have no issue with them being moved around so the holidays are equally divided throughout the year, right? There’s no importance to them happening on the specific dates they do at the moment, right?

can,

I’d just rather add more holidays tbh.

Kecessa,

But that won’t happen

can,

Canada’s done it

Kecessa, (edited )

There’s only five true public holidays applied throughout the whole of Canada

Quebec has their National holiday but no civic holiday. Only four provinces out of ten (two of those only for government employees), the territories and jobs under federal jurisdiction have the truth and remembrance day.

Even counting all of them there’s a big hole after the new year and the next one is
 Good Friday which is 100% religious


But at the federal level that’s 12 holidays that could be separated to get rid of religious holidays and to give everyone one long weekend every month!

can,

I guess I’m luckier than I realized. Thanks for the detailed info.

What annoys me, and I’m Jewish ethnically but I’m an atheist, is the commercialization of Hanukkah. It wasn’t even a major Jewish holiday. People just decided, “well, it’s near Christmas and they used to give raisins. Good enough.” I mean just make up a new holiday or something.

Mr_Blott, in It's funnt because it's true

Yanks on their way to just cover bland, mass produced shite in butter and salt so they can proclaim it “the gradest food in the wuuuurld”

TIMMAY,

to be honest, I dont know a single fellow american that thinks that “american food” (whatever that even means) is better than just about any other variety. Yet what you said is true nonetheless lmao

Clbull,

To that I say ‘what American food?’

Because there’s a massive difference in quality between a Big Mac and a Philly Cheesesteak

TIMMAY,

Very fair, and even from one cheesesteak to another

madcaesar,

I don’t think Americans claim we have the greatest food in the world lol Cheap? Yes. Fast? Yes. BBQ? Yes!

EvolvedTurtle,

Yeah we just kind of took food from other countries and made it worse lol

madcaesar,

We made it cheap and fast and worse lol

jcriecke, (edited ) in Drive aggressively ≠ Arrive early

The most difficult game to play is to drive calmly (almost never use the brake pedal) while leaving plenty of room for assholes to merge in front of you. Requires huge amounts of attention and emotional discipline. Best game on the highway though.

staticblanket,

Kudos to you.

gizmonicus,

The annoying thing is: if everyone did this, phantom traffic jams wouldn’t be a thing, and even real road obstructions would have significantly less impact and we would all get where we want to go faster, collectively. But we won’t, because I got mine.

ElPussyKangaroo, in Take that YouTube

YouTube won’t work with ublock on Vivaldi


can,

Guess it time to switch to Firefox.

ElPussyKangaroo,

I can’t. I use fairly PWAs regularly and Firefox is NOT great with them.

13617,

What is a PWA?

radioactiveradio,

Progressive Web Apps. Basically websites but with icons on your desktop or app launcher.

SVcross,
@SVcross@lemmy.world avatar

Progressive Web Apps.

can,

Agreed. I use Firefoxfor my braising but I install my PWAs under Samsung internet.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Oof. Samsung Internet? Damn.

can,

I don’t use PWAs enough to warrant installing another browser for them.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Valid.

Smegh,

Gotta disable Vivaldi’s integrated Adblocker and use uBlock only, at least that’s what fixed it for me.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Worked for me as well. Thanks!

VicentAdultman, in Happy Holidays

like I am gonna say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. The guy in the $4,000 suit. COME ON!

WaxedWookie,

The man on the TV said people would get angry at me for saying merry Christmas - the guy in the $6,000 suit - COME ON

Omega_Haxors, in Gonna impress the doctor

As an anarchist I found this extremely offensive.

@ares35@kbin.social avatar

at least once a month i have to dodge some moron passing on the right (and through empty, marked, parking spaces..which is not legal), someone who is either turning left or had stopped for me---in a marked crosswalk, and literally right in front a fucking sign that says 'stop for pedestrians'.

Starglasses, in Get Bread Get Dead

I would do so much to improve the world if I had even one billion dollars. Rocket ships don’t help the homeless. Mars won’t solve the lack of money in education. A car flying through the void of space does not create public transportation. A mega yacht doesn’t feed the hungry.

Please let me handle your money, billionaires. You’ll look so good at the end of it.

Jorgelino,

While Musk is undeniably a massive dickhead, let’s not devalue space exploration because of him. Many things we rely on today such as GPS, certain types of medical treatments and drugs, even eye surgery, were only possible due to the advancement of space technology.

Rocketships don’t help people directly, but for isntance, they put satelites in orbit that help farmers have a more precise control and understanding over their crops, putting more food on our plates.

Starglasses,

You’re right. I don’t mean discredit all space-related activities. Satellites help make our world function, and rockets are needed for that.

I meant to emphasize the desire to go to Mars. I see no net-benefit for the world. It’s a vanity project.

    Of course. It lacks Joe Pesci “dressed like a chicken.”

    Hylactor,

    It could be interesting to cut all the movies into even pieces making one movie with the average runtime of all of them and see if it’s cohesive.

    EvolvedTurtle,

    Im down Too time consuming to do tho lol Maybe I could make a python script or something lol

    I was in traffic on the weekend that was doing about half the speed limit, and passed a car that had been pulled over. I thought they must have done something pretty impressive to manage that.

    In that amount of traffic? Probably driving on the shoulder.

    Not trying to be racist but it’s almost always a man and a woman who are both White - and probably a Black side character if they are feeling generous.

    rgb3x3,

    Hollywood’s (meaning movie and TV producers in general) default is white and straight.

    The hetero norm is changing slowly, but the white norm is still very much a thing. Typically for a movie to feature a predominantly POC cast, it’s directed by a POC and listed as a POC movie, rather than just
 well, a movie.

    pigup,

    They have ones with black protagonists, the white ones just have a few token black people, often for comic relief. This is TV for Karens essentially.

    const_void,

    If they do have an interracial couple it’s always a black man with a white woman. Never the other way around.

    1847953620,

    gotta get that bbc.

    British Broadcast Corporation - they’ll sure give Hallmark a run for their money.

    grayman,

    The channel viewership is 99.999% overweight to obese older white women. This is functionally their porn.
