Only because the desktop market will shrink.

I think most people’s computing will go to phones, tablets, or phone/tablet-like devices (like Chromebooks or the Macbook Neo) that don’t really count as desktops. I think the PC hardware market will shrink.

What’s left will be PC enthusiasts and gamers clinging to their existing hardware, and TBH I can see 15% of those moving to some linux flavor as Microsoft basically sunsets desktop Windows.

Business workstations will be stuck with Windows forever, though.

A man of taste.

Also, as a bonus, put a cheap 4-inch AC filter on that box fan.

Now you have:

• Zero dust in your PC

• Noise dampening

• A high CFM air purifier, right in your room.

Or better yet: ducts.

I have zero case fans in my PC.

There’s never been absolute freedom of speech, anywhere on the internet.

There is something you could say that will get you shunned from any community.

That’s my response to “but free speech!” That phrase means you’re trying to say something that will generally inflame Lemmy instances, so specify what you wish to discuss if you want to be pointed somewhere better.

The original is all a parody, though. That’s the point.

Now, I know what the woke deep state is going to say, and I want to save you the trouble of listening to them.

“The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty?” Never ratified it. Even if we did, who cares. Next.

“The environmental impact?” Mr. Secretary, Iranian oil is leaking everywhere. Tankers are on fire near Fujairah. This approach is constructive destruction.

“Radiation?” Radiation is the most overblown left-wing conspiracy since climate change. The Plowshare’s 1962 underground Sedan test fallout reached South Dakota in 1962 and South Dakota is fine. Went for Trump by thirty points. Plus, the residual glow keeps Iran from trying anything funny near the new channel.

The views expressed above do not necessarily represent those of anyone with brain cells.

This is hilarious. Heh.

I don’t buy Gingrich’s earnesty. He must be trolling too, like the article explicitly was. Most Republicans are doing it on Twitter now, and that would fit Gingrich’s history, too.

…And it kinda worked. It looks like Lemmy swallowed the hook here, and I’m sure Twitter did too.

uBlock Origin is the gold standard, but you need something that supports the full version. Plain Chrome (and most forks) are not good enough.

Firefox, Helium, and/or Orion would be my top picks.

On top of three letter agencies, basically every cybersecurity expert that publishes a “basic tweaks” article recommends uBlock Origin.

Well its working, isn’t it?

Lots of views.

Hell, 415 upvotes on Lemmy.

Eh, it makes me worry about Lemmy.

• Polymarket betting

• With no data

• Via a screenshot of a clickbait tweet?

I know this is a “memes” sub, but come on. Ya’ll are really gonna upvote this?

Still doesn’t properly display HDR images for me, but I suppose this is a pain point for most photo software.

Yep.

Cool niche content gets sparser and sparser as attention of more popular opinions snowball, and the “hero” posters holding single communities afloat burn out.

Mark my words, Lemmy (and Piefed) will meet Voat’s fate (amongst other Reddit clones) unless something changes. It’s happened over and over again, and creative filtering like Piefed is doing or “open” Federation as is Lemmy’s focus isn’t going to fix it. Neither will posters. They need more fundamental structural attention/UI changes, in the code.

The results are awful though. Over the past few years, I can hardly even think of a single search where SEO quickly brought me to “the page I was looking for”; searches end in either a wall of spam, or me getting frustrated and more directly finding what I already know I want. Smaller sites I used to love have withered and died, buried from the lack of earnest traffic. Malicious URLs rise above the businesses they are copying.

In other words, what does it matter if SEO is “improved” if the results are junk? It’s clearly not working better, unless one’s a scammer, or a corporation that benefits from the consolidation.

Bender’s Big Score, the first one. I was thinking of the scammer aliens, who have that same attitude SEO folks tend to carry.

No, you’ve got a point… Actually you’re right. To an extent.

I should have qualified my post.

But I’d argue the “bad” part of SEO is just too tempting. It’s clearly winning out, across the entire internet, unless you can look at me with a straight face and say “Google search is fine.” Or that discoverability of genuine services is fine. It’s definitely not; it’s a miracle any legitimate business is surviving from web search anymore, amongts the sea of attention scams and corporate behemoths.

In other words, the I feel like the “honeymoon” where we could trust SEO to happen ethically is now behind us.

When the Digg beta launched, we immediately noticed posts from SEO spammers noting that Digg still carried meaningful Google link authority. Within hours, we got a taste of what we’d only heard rumors about. The internet is now populated, in meaningful part, by sophisticated AI agents and automated accounts. We knew bots were part of the landscape, but we didn’t appreciate the scale, sophistication, or speed at which they’d find us. We banned tens of thousands of accounts. We deployed internal tooling and industry-standard external vendors. None of it was enough.

I love how the SEO industry pretends they’re anything but a caustic cancer leeching off literally everything.

“Oh, but discoverability of small business!” Yeah… I’d punch you if I saw you, SEO jerks. The Futurama movie was right.

That’s because she has money.

Gender affirming care for ultra-rich.

Fixed that for you.
