frostysauce , to Today I Learned in TIL about Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment considered by some to be an "information hazard" - a concept or idea that can cause you harm by you simply knowing/understanding it

I'm dismissing it right now. I'm finding it quite easy to do so.

frostysauce , to memes in It'll end up as "Vote stupid parties, win stupid prices"

That's because there are a LOT of tankies on lemmy, specifically lemmy.ml. In many threads anything slightly critical of Russia or China will get deleted and the users banned. It may have other meanings but that's what it means here: people carrying water for authoritarian regimes while LARPing as leftists.

Seriously you sound like a Mac user in the '90s Linux user today.

frostysauce , to Technology in Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads

So they are introducing ads and removing the download option, both moves unfriendly to consumers. Sounds like they plan to do a "We've listened to consumers and" shelving one of those moves for later (probably the download option) when the hubbub over the worse option dies down.

frostysauce , to Technology in How Airbnb accidentally screwed the US housing market and made $100 billion

I actually was talking to a neighbor at my apartments 20 some-odd years ago. We got to talking about coke and he asked if I'd ever smoked it before.

"No..." So I followed him across the hall to his apartment and took a hit. "Whoa, this is fucking great! ...Wait, when you smoke it isn't it crack?"

"Yeah, it's awesome isn't it!? You know, if you want more I can probably find some..."

So, yup. I got my first hit of crack for free. I never thought that happened in real life before, either, and I've never had or heard of it happening since. Additionally, about six months later I stopped smoking crack.

I hate dogs and would hate to be in an Air BNB where there was a dog about. But fuck yes, Kevin, if you're lonely you still deserve to be treated well. Let's go to bed, Kevin.

frostysauce , to Asklemmy in A colleague sent a video of a murder at work today and I'm still seething. What rights do I have? (UK)

This person will obviously never be professional. How many others you work with are also traumatized by those videos but don't say anything, I wonder. Get this scumbag fired for your coworkers if you won't do it for yourself.

Unfortunately I'm seeing far too often younger people think that having a single beer makes you an alcoholic.
