This package of bagels I bought expired on a date that doesn't exist. (i.imgur.com)

I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

It’s usually easy to determine which order the person commenting observes too, just from context. I’ve never understood the confusion.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Ayyyyy

LinkOpensChest_wav,

After seeing this post, I’m determined to more than double my potato salad consumption

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I used youtubetranscript.com/?v=NgGLFozNM2o and did a ctl+F for “Mendel,” and there’s nothing

LinkOpensChest_wav,

My heros will only ever possibly be my neighbors wherever I live.

That’s what I’m always saying! I know so many good working class folks in my friend group and neighborhood. I don’t feel compelled to look up to some celebrity who’s ultimately a complete rando to me.

There are artists and other famous people whose work I respect and admire, but my heros are people I know irl

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Hmmm. I feel like it’s more a deliberate distortion of reality.

The way I see it, it’s closely related to the approach used by segregationists who would use things like gerrymandering or poll tax to exclude Black voters and then claim that it’s not racist policy because they didn’t expressly mention race.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I’d like to add Lakota People’s Law Project and Minnesota Freedom Fund

Is there a Spotify alternative that has no ads?

I pay for Spotify for 7 years or so now and i'm so sick of all the ads. After every update there seems to be an: oops, sorry, you have ads now. Podcasts are filled with ads. I was just listening to a podcast where they shoved in 3 ads mid-sentence. How long until musicians put ads in their songs. I'm just so sick of it.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I second Spotube. I actually do pay for Spotify, but I’ve considered moving to Spotube entirely. I was really impressed when I tried it.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Don’t do it

LinkOpensChest_wav,

My co-worker goes to google.com and types URLs into the search field, sometimes not even the correct URL (e.g., when she’s trying to sign into her Zoom account, she’ll search for “zoom.com”)

I’ve tried gently persuading her to try typing it in the address bar, but then she will mistype it and tell me, “See, it’s not working!” and I’d like to show her how to use bookmarks and try to make her life a lot easier, but she insists she knows what she’s doing and isn’t having it.

Sadly, she’s also fallen prey to numerous obvious scams, including a pig butchering scam that drained her resources for years.

I’d really like to find a way to teach some basic tech literacy to older people. I’ve been able to help my parents recognize scams at least, but some people are aggressively unwilling to learn new things.

Time to ditch #duckduckgo (lemmy.world)

In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened....

LinkOpensChest_wav,

You can easily spoof the location on most search engines by using a VPN, but I’d much prefer my search engine solely respond to deliberate input from the user

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Try this one: searxng.no-logs.com

LinkOpensChest_wav,

That’s what I think. I’ve noticed it’s people with certain opinions who complain about too much politics.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Do you happen to have a Samsung? I recently learned that stock Android 13 does allow it, but Samsung’s OneUI removes this ability. I was absolutely livid when I learned about this.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Skyrim was my chill game for years, but now I’d say Elder Scrolls Online. Everyone I know who plays ESO is super non-competitive and chill. It’s just got a great vibe.

LinkOpensChest_wav, (edited )

Same on android 13. There’s not even a “Mobile data & Wi-Fi” category, just “Mobile data.”

You could use an app like NetGuard to block internet access, but I’ve not found that to be a very practical solution, especially for VPN users.

Edit: Looks like it’s a Samsung thing.

I really wish I didn’t have a Samsung. What a horrible way to treat consumers, removing a basic function of the OS.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

rich “people”

LinkOpensChest_wav,

What the fuck. I’ve been to many, many clubs and shows with creative lighting, and never once heard of or experienced a problem like this. This had to be reckless ignorance on the event planners to result in something like this. Holy shit.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Maybe I’m not very knowledgable, but even Monero seems sketchy to me. I’ve clicked into what I thought were blogs about privacy that ended up being sites that exist only to promote Monero, once you look into them. That and the way certain accounts will do nothing but praise Monero just seems very greasy to me. I also wonder how it solves some of the other problems inherent to crypto, such as the environmental concerns.

For things like drugs like the person mentioned below, I don’t think I’d trust someone who didn’t just use cash.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Yeah, I never thought I’d use a dedicated email client anywhere but work, but Thunderbird is really good.

I also use K-9 on mobile, which I like even more, but marking messages as spam never seems to stick. I still keep getting absolute trash from Google, even though I unsubscribed to updates a long time ago.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

My current employer is fully into Google’s ecosystem, so we don’t use a dedicated email client.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

What’s wrong with anarchists? I’ve never seen anarchists defending pedophilia. Anarchism doesn’t mean you just freely cause harm to others; quite the contrary.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

So does this cause advertisers to lose money since their ads are being clicked but never viewed by human eyes? Because if so, I’ll install ad nauseum asap

LinkOpensChest_wav,

This whole thread is weird. I think it’s hilarious how people are arguing with you, saying it’s impossible and then linking sites that list every brand owned by Nestlé. You’d think it would occur to them that if one is able to consult a list, that makes it possible to avoid Nestlé products, since one can merely consult the list.

I think there are some synapses not firing here 😅

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I have a flashlight with a mode that does the same, and I had it for two years before I noticed.
