Their products require their app, would this effectively turn their devices useless when the servers die?

I know it supports a single button to start cleaning, but I wonder if that will work properly without being able to call home.

Might be time for people to look for alternatives.

Banning people in games is extremely difficult, annoyingly so.

Hopefully our AI overlord will be benevolent

Great! That should turning myself into a cyborg in the future all the more simple.

Maybe, but I was on the internet as a teen and that went fine, being careful is a general thing in life.

But more importantly: adults have a phone and use it during work ALL the time. So I’m not so sure about the average age of the people commenting on here.

Interesting report. Might give Mastodon a try someday, I quit Twitter a little bit before the acquisition.

Breadstick

For Russia, this ceasefire is most likely more helpful to re assess than it is for Ukraine.

It would be odd if Russia would decline it, and it might just be to provoke a reaction from the US, in whatever way that might be.

This context is so important!

When called out on your lies, and you are unable to prove otherwise, you should concede your argument. But I suppose the point wasn’t to be truthful.

Sounds like a good solution for people who are on larger instances, my instance does not host any communities sadly.

I feel this lol

I do have some personal experience to ‘prove’ the contrary, since I gave my grandmother an iPhone, it become much easier to deal with. That might be bias though, as that is my primary device as well, so I might just be more used to it compared to troubleshooting Android devices.

I like that view, and it made me think of a possible “implementation”/“fix” as well:

1. Combine the post somehow (Based on attachment/title/something else?)
2. Filter/categorize the comments by instance that the comment was originally posted towards (Not by user, as that would be awful)

The largest issue here that I can see, how do we treat “new” comments to a post?

My annoyance is primarily with the fact that I see the same image 3x in a row, on a fairly regular basis. I might unsub from a few communities that share the same content.

One of my largest pain points with Lemmy is that there are multiple active communities for the same topic, causing quite a few duplicate posts to show up in my feed that is difficult to filter. Hopefully there comes some kind of solution, outside of userbase, this is (what I believe) one of the larger issues compared to Reddit.

However, I still switched over to Lemmy for my primary ‘Reddit’-needs.

“ You load 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go I owe my soul to the company store “

Just don’t buy a cyber”truck”? I am genuinely baffled why anyone would choose that over any other truck in America. There are so many better priced, and higher quality vehicles on the market.

Only two alarms would cause me anxiety, need at least 5 to make sure I wake up 🥲

You’re potentially right, which is why for my own account I host my own instance. Which I truly understand is not for everyone.

When it comes to communities themselves, that’s a bit more difficult but I am hoping that we (the ‘inhabitants’ of the Fediverse) will ignore those attempt and actively block their instances if it does become a “threat”.

For scraping, I made this point before in a different post, but: the internets public, if we do not want to get scraped, stay in private local communities. The public nature of most communities means you’re out of luck trying to block scraping altogether.

Ok, fine. One more then…

“Putin will now be forced to decide whether to conclude a temporary ceasefire or risk souring relations with the White House under the new Trump administration.”

Honestly wonder if they’d care at all. I really hope there can at least be a breather for a minute, even if it is short lived.

Illegal to prefer buying an alternative in a capitalist society? 🧐
