a less relevant example:

many people in general lack the literacy. my entire school thinks I’m able to hack the pentagon because I accessed the boot menu and installed mint on a school computer for my sanity, because last time I used windows on a school computer, I was going through some tough stuff, so on top of it being clunky I have bad memories linked with it. I did not delete windows or touch system files, but I really, really want to. They all treat me like I could hack government systems, even though I’ve never hacked anything in my life. The average user should be able to access that.

A more relevant example:

fucking everyone at school, staff and otherwise can’t do anything with tech. basic shortcuts? nope (except copy/paste)! indenting in word? nope! using anything other than google as a search engine is seen as suspicious, and no-one can really tech there. most of my school is average in every way, and this is no difference. my english teacher believes that wikipedia still hasn’t added any security to who’s able to edit articles, spoiler: they have (on most articles) such as peer-review and most of them requiring peer-review and account requirements of 500+ approved edits. the list goes on.

“why isn’t the printer printing my 3 page essay done in 30 mins?” It’s out of cyan. really. go change your cyan, mrs. b. “but the essay is b&w (black and white)” the printer won’t work till the cyan is replaced, go tell mrs. b (principal) that the printer is out of cyan. printer says “fuck you, no cyan”

yeah and a lot of bots are filtered whereas on larger sites, such as reddit, most of site usage is bots. It’s also very anti-troll and yeah I agree size matters a lot

hell yeah! linux for the win! I’m working on a computer and might try that one out when I get it to work. hopefully the hdd isn’t dead

Alright thanks! :D have a great day!

like not full send, but the whole thing works better when more people poison stuff. I try to poison/glaze images before uploading (when I can) and whatnot, but scrambling data, even to a small extent, would probably help with how paranoid I am about megacorps

It should still be possible to manually upload in dev mode?

I don’t mean flood on user side, I meant spamming data scraped by corporate. If it’s too expensive for corporate to clean up vs how much it’s sold for, they won’t bother at some point. It’s already been stolen… That’s only true for the data that already exists.

Kinda like if you had a bunch of bots tied to the same IP as you, and you tell them to generate random searches, click random sites, etc, but never post/comment/vote on anything. They’re all tied to the same address, and at some point, it will be to costly to continue stealing data, cleaning it up, and selling it than it will be worth.

They’d either try and clean it up (costs too much, may potentially give up) or stop stealing your data (consumer wins)

I won’t spam online, but I don’t want corporate having scary accurate info/data about me. I’d only want spam going to corporate, not to people.

Do not worry about it, and simply try to not give them much from now on.

Fair, buuuuuuut…

If you hide as much info as you can, whatever info they can get (likely through illegal means) is going to be accurate. They may have less info, but it is all stuff you definitely did (unless you do both methods at once)

What I’m going for is more I prefer to occasionally waste some corporate time, but the user experience isn’t worsened rather than I will do whatever it takes to ruin megacorps

Either way, have a great day

oh thanks! It wont let me upload to chrome, but it’s probably user error. I’ll figure it out

after a quick check on your history, you post too much news and other stuff that I don’t like. I have no clue how true either of your claims are, but I don’t like news. It’s stressful, annoying, confusing, etc.

Windows and ios

School just got 30 new laptops because of the tpm requirement on windows 11 just like Microsoft planned.

I would not mind helping them with Linux of any distro even after Im done learning there because it’s so much better

catchy name

I use the one my dad uses

Remind me to tell you when I’m at home I’ll know then

absoloutely I prefer arguing with ignorant and stubborn people (or jerks) than bots and trolls

I much prefer the “urhm akctchually” here to the content farming there

thanks

I have been here 13 days, already billions of times better

I’m confused what parts of reddit and lemmy you’re on

fair… I was kinda wondering general stuff shared between most instances (like be a decent human being) but thanks anyways

thanks

to be clear: block universal monk, have backup instances (I have a sh.it and .zip and potentially a few more???)

anyways have a great day

I shall check that one out then, I guess

<blink> is definitely something I would use

I’m actually trying to learn html kinda
