All the new users made Reddit objectively worse. I am not looking forward to when or if Lemmy ever blows up.

Swimming rama for sure.

To get the perfect selfie please pull your tongue back in your mouth. Good, now close you mouth. Perfect, now lower your phone thirty degree. Great, now lower it thirty degrees more. Almost there! Now lower thirty more degrees and put it the fuck away in your pocket.

Congratulations, you now have the perfect selfie.

If only my computer was constantly hooked up to cloud AI watching everything I do! -No one ever.

You can instantly stop yourself from hiccuping.

Pretty sure fascist already broke off the UK. While I will agree the US is ahead, it is everywhere already.

This is a worldwide problem unfortunately.

Governments need to stop giving money to corporations and give it to the people who deserve it.

I heard they love the poor when they vote against their own interests.

Corporations can and do fight for their users. Proton is not one of these companies. I think that says all we need to know about their commitments to their users. You are welcome to continue leading people to a business that have shown that they are not willing to do what is right because profit is their primary motivation.

Proton claimed there was no way to appeal, but Swiss law is not bound by Interpol. I think what it really amounts to is they are not going to protect their users. This is why you don’t pay for let alone use a corporation’s services unless you willing to give up your privacy.

Proton is not your friend, they have and will continue to betray their users. Do not trust them or any corporation that is not willing to fight for their users.

Never talk to the New York Times!

It is clear all mainstream media are just propaganda from the mouth of the wealthy. There is no left or right unless it is to divide us up like the cattle they think we are.

This is the type of scientific method that can put all this nonsense to rest. I really appreciate their work proving that the difference between fast/slow/30-80% is insignificant to the majority of people.

Thanks!

So you feel sorry for the fact they are legacy industry that refuses to adapt?

If you have conservative reps you could try calling and writing their office and demand they compromise on health care. With enough pressure they will cave.

If you have progressive reps call and congratulate them and tell them not to stop until the conservatives start participating in governance

Many of your later questions would rely on too much conjecture to answer. The simple truth is this unprecedented and we don’t know what is going to happen.

I share many of your concerns as many people here do.

I to have tried getting into it without success. Maybe I will be able to return to it someday.

A similar thing happened with Cyberpunk. I revisited it after stopping just after the first act and had the most fun I have had with a game in a long time.

Yes, it is over. The selection is shit, they pull shows that they have the rights to to manipulate people into watching what they want. The value of services like Netflix being a one stop shop for content are long gone. Enshitification in the name of control has reared its ugly head and the value is gone.

How people get investing in this shit show is beyond me.

They lost more money delaying than if they had allowed everyone to unionize. Pathetic.

Money has become secondary to control for a long time now.

The biggest conspiracy theory of my lifetime was the government was intercepting all communication and it was proven completely true.
