Wow, nobody was kidding when they say how expensive Apple products are (lemmy.world)
 

So, Apple is blowing it's horn now on being a $3 Trillion valued company. Like, yay I suppose...

But then I see why and with my own eyes, where I work, their accessories are ridiculously expensive. A simple little phone stand, was $35. But because it was Apple, it's priced that highly.

A simple clear and plastic looking case from Apple, is $40. With those prices, you could actually buy a budget phone (if you're okay without the features of an average smartphone).

Fully functioning phone vs a stupidly common phone case for Apple phones. That's absurd.

Pretty sad that this bitch is getting paid to crack things. I don't know what's stopping a band of people to just hack her shit up and take what's been helping to crack denuvo so it isn't bottlenecked by unchecked individuals such as she.

What are some Redditisms that Lemmy needs to avoid? (lemmy.world)
 

For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

Why the fuck am I getting all of these stupid reels and short videos of people with unattractive assets? (lemmy.world)
 

I know it's Facebook's shitty algorithm but I'm tired of seeing these reels and short videos, of all of these bimbofied women! They're unattractive, I don't like things like asses and breasts being too gigantic. It's ugly to me and I'm sick of seeing it.

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others? in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] nyternic@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago

I do not trust password managers. There's a saying that goes 'do not put all of your eggs in one basket' and that's what I don't do. Mobile, Desktop, whatever, I don't use a single password manager. It wasn't long ago that a password management company was compromised, right? What are the odds that similar circumstances could happen on another password management company? It'd be a disaster.

Whatever happened to just simply having a notepad program/app and documenting your passwords onto there?

Ironic to the contrary, I've caught myself using browsers such as chrome to save my passwords for easier log in. But that's simply out of my decaying memory due to age, not necessarily because I have a bias with Google and I trust them with everything. I still don't trust them with everything.

What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] nyternic@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Power-tripping users that somehow have access to hundreds of sub-communities and lean heavily on automodding and just reacting by absolutes because they lack problem solving skills.

Shitty, unfunny jokes that spiral into lengthy comment chains that are a chore to weed through. Keep that shit on Reddit, because everyone pretends they're some downtrodden, unspoken stand up comedian on there.

Thought policing.

Word policing. Yeah I get that we shouldn't say n***** and stuff. But, why go through the trouble of censoring swears? I mean come on, we've grown up to have the privilege of airing those words out!

Some trouble in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world
[–] nyternic@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

As someone who has had been around Linux-based people and whenever I have had a single gripe about Windows - it's this.

I don't have a hate boner with Linux, I just feel like Linux is a little too much for the average casual user. Everything is fine until they run into a single issue with Linux, if the bewilderment of not having their familiar easy to run programs that they had on Windows wasn't a turn off for them from the get-go.
