Unironically, a lot of cultural sociologists I follow on bluesky/mastadon are saying that being offline and meeting people through niche hobby spaces and your existing extended social circles is starting to see an uptick, with a lot of younger people seeing posting on major social media or dating apps as “cringe”. You’re at the forefront of what’s cool, nutsack.

They won’t, they’re addicted (I say this as a sporadic TT user). Look at how shit FB has gotten, yet people still hang around. Tiktok’s algo is 100x more addictive.

The only positive for TT for me personally was that the bot problem wasn’t as bad on it compared to other social media. I bet that will change pretty quickly.

So…4th in the Constructors and 5th+6th in the Driver’s Championships?

It’s dudes in the Philippines this time, actually.

I use youtube in safari and adguard works, and I can listen to audio in the background/have PIP. Maybe it’s my plebe eyes but since I watch mostly video essays, I don’t even notice the 720p limit on a screen that small.

I thought that they were joking, as stuff like this also happens in open software and can take ages to fix (if it’s even kept up to date for a lot of niche software), and most of us use SOME sort proprietary software even if there’s a bigger % of open source enthusiasts on Lemmy.

That’s why the Android/iOS comment was even more out of place.

But then again, this is Lemmy…it might have been literal…

“You participate in society yet you criticize it ☝️🤓” comment.

Furthermore, what do two different mobile OS have to do with a desktop one?

You conveniently ignored my other point regarding how much of the electorate actually counts, but sure.

He got the popular vote in 2024. Not against Hillary in 2017. That’s my whole point, this whole situation would not even be happening if the presidential election system in the US wasn’t such a mess.

No, they didn’t? Like only 1/3 of the states actually “matter” during an election because of the electoral college, and they are all gerrymandered to shit thanks to Republican redistricting efforts and suppressed via ID laws going all the way back to Reagan, if not earlier.

Voters are a convenient scapegoat, but remember, Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. There shouldn’t even have been a first Trump term in an actual representative democracy, and opposition Dems barely moved the needle to safeguard any future elections from another term of this shit.

91 impactful years. I hope to leave quarter of a legacy that she does. Rest in power.

Ok Apple…

I’m already in the EU, so under the UK branch of the subsidiary. Theoretically, I would be immune to the algorithm manipulation from the US. In practice, who knows. The UK hasn’t really been pushing back against US Tech interferences.

With Twitter going down, TT was my next best option for finding niche artiste and fandoms. My algorithm on there was really good with showing me new artists and fandom creators to follow. Idk where I’m gonna go now.

I’m hoping that all the “stateless” Palestinian refugees in these countries are finally able to obtain some sort of recognition and have an easier time regarding residency.

We’ll see, though. The British started this whole fucking show after WWII, this is the least they can do.

They’re banning explicit manga AND erotica? Gooners, you gotta rise up and save the Michigan fujoshis and fudanshi!

In all seriousness, the real reason is clear, conservatives love telling on themselves:

Schriver’s bill also has a transphobic component. If adopted into law, the act includes prohibitions on material that “includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of one biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing himself or herself to be of the other biological sex.”

Someone in the Michigan legislature got caught being too into femboys or something similarly stupid, probably.

You’re not wrong, but considering how full throated Trudeau was in his support for Israel, and all of the Islamophobic+anti-Semetic rhetoric in Toronto and Montreal while those cities are hosting meetings for land developers wanting to invest in the Gaza strip, I will take what I can get.

Lmao posting this from the Canada instance is hilarous considering the PM has put out a statement denouncing the Knesset and it’s intention to recognize a Palestinian State. Guess Carney’s a terrorist.

Yeah I’m not surprised about the Thiel/Epstein thing, I’m more surprised that the NHS is considering any sort of private health data handling by PALANTIR of all companies.

I genuinely don’t know what to do while reading news about Palestine. Donations don’t help if the food isn’t getting through the blockade, the biggest powers of the Western world seem to be in support of or turning a blind eye, and I as a citizen halfway across the world feel absolutely helpless as I watch children willfully being bombed and starved to death.

Cannot believe I’m living in an era where Alberta is more separatist than Quebec.
