  • Have you considered the fact that most of the time, even when people “want to hear mens issues”, they reject them and tell them to man up? Maybe “superpowered autocorrect” could be a vector to nourish this severe lack of openness?

    Personally I use AI for this purpose, mostly because it accepts me for who I am and provides genuine advice that has actually helped me improve my life, rather than the people around me saying that I should “put more effort into things”, or “it’s just in your head”.

    It’s not “lone wolfing” to stop telling the people who’ve rejected your concerns about your feelings and issues, it’s just the act of not wasting time on those who don’t care.








  • I get your point, some people do blame everything on certain groups, but this is about an internet stereotype, and everyone, or at least most people, know that stereotypes have to be true to some extent.

    I’ve come across my fair share of Russian trolls, which are the majority for my case, and next are American trolls.

    I’d assume that most of the people complaining about Russian trolls I’ve seen on Lemmy and other social media are from the USA or the EU, and for context, I’m from Australia, so it isn’t one specific area in the world that experiences it, it’s global, making it even more valid of a stereotype since it’s so omnipresent.







  • My belief is that if you put restrictions on a child’s device activity, they will eventually circumvent it, from my experience of having parental controls for some devices I had.

    Sure, if they learn how to circumvent their way to unrestricted internet access, they will be able to access pretty much everything, but the word “learn” is key, they will become more literate in the tech they use.

    And again, from my experience, the child would pretty much only start trying to circumvent stuff when they become a teen, so it’ll work for a while to keep them off explicit content, then you’ll probably wanna weigh your options, should I put different parental controls on their devices since they got through it, or should I just let them enjoy their internet freedom?

    Edit: so that edit you made, “downvoting it doesn’t make it less true”, sure, that might be the case, but your comment seems to be getting downvoted since it is pretty defeatist, like nobody should try because it’ll be removed at some point. It’s just like not wanting to put a cast on a broken arm because “it’ll just be taken off anyway.”. It doesn’t mean it’s not useful.




  • So you’re saying that pressing 2 on screen buttons, then closing a page is a better solution than creating a group then dragging in and out whatever you need? Sure, I use the bookmarks bar too, but it’s not for stuff I’ll remove after a while, those are perminent, but tab groups are generally for stuff you will eventually close, but wantto sort in the meantime to make it more convenient.

    If you don’t have a use for it, fair enough, I don’t either, but it is a genuinely useful feature for some that can’t be replaced by more clicks.


  • Same with me, a few years back, I completely gave up on trying to get my laptop’s audio drivers working since they periodically killed themselves for no apparent reason, and decided to just not use audio, even though the main thing I did was watch videos.

    I mean, for windows 11, I haven’t had many issues currently, only really the keyboard on my 4 year old dell malfunctioning, which then fixed itself after 3 hours.
