That would require every government worldwide to be on board. Then you’ll have a couple holdouts, and they’ll take in the dough from everyone wanting to host their content there. While there is a mile-long wishlist from the powers that be, they’re still going to chase what’s profitable.

Luckily for the male, the sociopath woman gives fierce blowjobs

Honestly that’s a 50/50 shot between fierce and dead fish. I have proclivity for crazy, and a good half the time it’s all for show and a real disappointment at game time. That all said, always test drive the car before signing the paperwork.

bobs_monkey,

It’s also 10x easier to achieve IP67 water resistance with the battery sealed off. Having a removable battery would require more engineering contrary to shareholders’ wishes.

My Xperia 1 V has one, but it shares the same space with the 2nd sim card slot, which I use.

bobs_monkey,

No I haven’t, learn something new every day

bobs_monkey,

If Windows users had to deal with the dependency issues, it likely would’ve never taken off. That’s kind of the problem I’ve seen around various Linux distros, though I wager it’s gotten a lot better in recent years. For the record, I’ve been out of the Linux game for a good 6 years, and I barely ever boot up my computer much. I’m able to run my business completely off my phone (except tax season), and I haven’t made the earnest effort to get back into it due to time constraints.

bobs_monkey,

If you’re ok with living in the middle of nowhere, then it’s entirely doable. Some folks just have different priorities.

For instance, here is a property in Yucca Valley, CA that has a hanger in the backyard, where you can head out right on the runway from your yard. Just under $300k. There’s an entire street of houses that are adjacent to the runway of a small municipal airstrip, I think they call them fly in/fly out communities. They’re often well off the beaten path, but you don’t have to pay for storage when you have a hanger out back.

bobs_monkey,

it’s the kind of material that keep a monkey occupied.

I think that’s kind of the point. There was an article a while back that said the CCP/Bytedance intentionally serve up braindead content to everywhere outside China, while promoting educational and uplifting content at home.

bobs_monkey,

No kidding. I just find it ironic that the generation that kept saying “TV will rot your brain” is now completely consumed by social media.

bobs_monkey,

60 Minutes did a spread on it way back when, it’s on YouTube I believe

bobs_monkey,

From what I can see, it seems like their opinions go against the grain of the Lemmy userbase. They don’t seem to be intentionally antagonizing people.

bobs_monkey,

I think it’s more in that each platform has their differences as far as consumption, and possible behavior setting/modification, in which they’re both detrimental. It’s not secret that algorithms are used to keep the user engaged, and that so-called ragebait is a huge engagement driver. Facebook is somewhat of a link aggregator meets microblogging (ie status updates), while tiktok just feeds an endless loop of short videos. I would imagine (though I don’t have stats or sources) that videos keep people glued to their screens more effectively (easier than reading), and could be more troubling.

I think you don’t really grasp the concept of a hivemind, where users of a platform tend to have collective set of views deemed acceptable and unacceptable by the community. It doesn’t necessarily make them wrong, it just means that it is a view or opinion that runs contrary to that of the community. Reddit was a shit show for that (and I know you came from there due to your use of karma), and Lemmy has it too. The entire purpose of the up vote/downvote system is to increase/decrease comment ranking based on users perception of comment quality, though people tend to use it to show disapproval (as you did with my previous comment). There is no "normal’ when it comes to this, as it is entirely dependent on the instance and subcommunity’s collective views.

Furthermore, let me introduce you to the actual definition of gaslighting, per Merriam Webster:

1 : psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one’s emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator
2 : the act or practice of grossly misleading someone especially for one’s own advantage

Now, in what way did I gaslight you?

bobs_monkey,

Nice. I’ll be honest, I never bothered with tiktok, only Instagram. And even that got to a point where I just gave up and tossed it. Even Reddit was weird like that.

bobs_monkey,

This was verified by a number of independent researchers. 60 Minutes even did a full segment on it.

No no, that’s a very valid point. Get an llm to write this article, submit it $techcurrenteventszine and someone pay this man!

I'm getting doxxed by a troll

I got doxxed by a troll on a forum , the troll posted my real full name and school including my grade level , pics of a Facebook account which the troll thinks it’s me but isn’t because I don’t have any mainstream socials. The troll keeps pasting my name and pics from the Facebook profile everywhere on the forum, what do I...

I don’t mean to be a dick, but if a troll is able to pass your information out, you need to adhere to better personal information security practices.

bobs_monkey,

Shit I ain’t a saint, we all can better about it. My point is that if you wanna go in the offensive online, be sure it can’t bite you in the ass, at least in this regard.

bobs_monkey,

Failure to compensate for gravitational pull, and a lean to the right

bobs_monkey,

Oddly enough, these are smaller independent studios instead of the Hollywood behemoths.

That said, the major studios will probably reignite their antipiracy fervor against individual users if they begin losing more money in the streaming market. But it’s important to remember that a very small segment of the population is privy to the torrenting world, while the masses will just keep watching the studios’ ad-infested crap because they see no other options.
