Very true, good point. I’m looking at it from my own selfish point of view. 😁

Personally I have zero interest in influencers and I’d rather use a platform that isn’t designed to amplify their content. That’s just me.

Our universe is but one Pringle in a can.

Wouldn’t it be bizarre and ironic if the universe is shaped exactly like a Pringle?

Joe Rogan laughs as Trump fails to give specifics on stolen election claims in c/pleasantpolitics@slrpnk.net

Why doesn’t everyone laugh loudly and publicly in his face whenever he whines and makes his false claims? Grill him, ask him for specifics, over and over again and then laugh in his face when he fails.

Surely the title should be “Ford is removing…..”?

I didn't realise (or more likely I forgot) that Fossify forked the Simple Mobile apps.

Bit of a long shot, but are there any in person ASL (sign language) courses in #barrhaven or perhaps south west #ottawa?

Help finding budget gaming laptop (lemmy.ca)
 

I’d appreciate some assistance in finding a budget gaming laptop from a reliable source. I can pop into BestBuy (who enjoys that anyway!) or Canada Computers but are there alternatives? I’m look for something to play older games, like strategy games as wargames, but I’m not bothered about the latest games. I also want to do some development, likely using Eclipse+Java and also use docker-compose in VirtualBox. Maybe I’ll also mess around with Unity3 or the Unreal engine.

A reasonable spec is: 16 or 32Gb 512Gb+ SSD Decent discrete GFX card but not the latest Current or previous gen AMD or Intel 2+ USB 3 ports FHD monitor Nothing too heavy though I won’t be travelling Budget is probably $1100+tax

Is that reasonable? Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.

Best chipset for Linux laptop, Intel or AMD? (lemmy.ca)
 

I’m considering picking up a cheapish laptop for development, with the intent of installing Linux on it. Typically it’ll be Java development or other stuff in docket containers. Is there a best chipset to pick for Linux or are they pretty much identical these days?

Ghostery browser and android? (lemmy.ca)
 

I was looking at browsers in the Play store and saw the Ghostery browser. It's now apparently based on Firefox, and I assume the Ghostery (plugin/extension) functionality is built in. Does it protect privacy better than other browsers and is it worth trying out? I currently use Firefox on android but I detest it's UI decisions. I've no idea if Ghostery has a different UI or not.
