When I took biostatistics in college I asked to use python instead of R to do my assignments and they said no

My only real complaint at the time was using <- to define variables but I felt really strongly about it and that I wanted to use fancy snake language

It’s my self selection filter for friends

fail fast

I feel you. T9 on my sidekick in 2008 was better than my current predictable text. At one point my screen was so broken that I was using maybe a 1/4" sliver of the screen to text, and text prediction was solid enough to give actual suggestions

They’re acceptable for basic productivity but very sluggish if you’re coming from a flagship device. Get an S10 series if you’re looking for something cheap and Samsung

I kinda understand it? As if the sentences are stacked on top of each other

Sorry I haven’t been in touch

I’ve never not thought about you

What a stubborn one to please

Verify that the kids are way more [stubborn?] than / that I have (I think this is a run on/repetition (shocker))

As to you or I have is irrelevant

[It’s] important that you need to get the camp oven, there were two. Stamped one was mine, big one dad cooked with it

Home belongs with it now in your hands

Guilty about long time, best of all ventures

Definitely came from a good place I think

I mean, there are a lot of other apps that put their start-up behavior here, too. And there’s a setting in Discord not to start at boot

Largely I agree that their platform is cancer, but not because of their startup settings

This has been fixed for a while now

Most routers have an option to point at a custom DNS first with a fall through for external DNS providers. Best bet is to log into your router and poke around

I’ve been looking for a photo viewing solution for a nextcloud instance and immich seems really nice. Basically looking for something with similar features as iPhotos (stretch goal)

Have you had any bad experiences with bugs or features not working correctly?

How do you like immich?

Let’s go back to thicc boi phones like the 80s and we could have some pretty sick homebrew options

Or hell, why not a modern bucket phone? Build it out in a box with a Bluetooth headset and 3.5mm passthrough

Depends on where you live. In my experience, yes

The result was still unlabeled sexual content. They had categories specifically for that, but it was rarely adhered to from my own experience

If you’re complaining my perspective is reductive how is yours any different? You could argue whatever takes Omegle’s place will be worse, sure. I respect that you have a different opinion

I’ll adjust my complaint to the need for better AI moderation. You’re ignoring that the Omegle was shut down shortly after a lawsuit settlement surrounding child exploitation. I don’t personally believe organizations or people should be able to outgrow something like that without consequences

What was reductive about my description? I qualified my experience with the good and bad. My only real complaint was the lack of moderation. Lemmy has its issues, sure, but it has community driven moderation whereas Omegle had essentially zero. Not to mention the accessibility and notoriety of Omegle far exceeded Lemmy

I enjoyed having Omegle exist, and I’m happy there’s space for something else to take its place

That’s the only problem I see with the platform personally

Omegle has always been primarily men masturbating to (for?) random people on the Internet. It was kind of a cesspool from the beginning so you didn’t miss much

Anecdote for the road: I was in my early teens when Omegle was in its heyday. Even then it was a minefield of done people that wanted to roulette chat and men masturbating to primarily children my age. I met a lot of cool people to talk to and it was my first real personal/video interaction with people over the Internet

When I was about 13 I started getting on Omegle to have men masturbate to me and tell me I was pretty. They would always ask how old I was or that I looked young. Looking back I can see that as harmful behavior, but I was old enough to have a semblance of control to never share any identifiable information nor show my face. Basically, Omegle was my homosexual “awakening” as I hadn’t had those experiences up to that point

If a similar platform with maybe AI moderation came along I could get behind it. While I don’t view my experience as personally damaging, I can see the avenue for grooming and exploitation and I’m glad they finally shuttered

Musk has perfected the self selection of morons, I’m sure they’ll have plenty of test subjects to toy with

Man I miss those memes

I liked GrapheneOS but I didn’t like the pixel hardware personally
