Yeah but almost every American I meet here traveling in SEA or Europe is a perfectly reasonable person.
Dunno I just am in such disbelief that my world experience doesn’t match reality at all. I even consider myself pretty well traveled with 20 years of experience traveling around the globe though admittedly I’ve never been to the USA yet and I fear I might not get to see Yellowstone or Big Sur ever at this point or do I even want to?
Kinda sucks to be a fan of US now ngl.
That’s what I gather from his wiki and some chatgpt queries. Never heard of him before (not an american) but honestly — I’m a big fan now.
US is system is so bad. The constant pandering to “founding fathers” as if it’s even possible to have strong enough vision that it would last 200+ years and refusal to innovate past the ridiculous two party system is just sad tbh.
Yet nothing will change because you can’t change these things without a revolution apparently.
Yeah but basically everyone I follow from podcasters to tech developers are all non-idiots and I assume their following are also mostly non-idiots. Where are all of these idiots hiding? The contrast between US soft power export and actual average americans is colossal.
Why are americans so stupid and yet manage to export so much smart stuff from tech to podcasts to scientists. Is it some sort of dystopia where 1% rules, 20% live in a bubble and 79% are just brain dead idiots?
Lots of non-answers but to clarify - yes but no comments.
Sometimes a login wall might block you but if you refresh a couple of times it should work.
no invite and I’ve been on the waitlist since it’s been announced :(
That’s exactly what will happen.
Apple absolutely harms other companies to the point where are taken to court all the time.
There’s no such thing as “their own ecosystem”
As someone who writes on Medium ocassionally — no.
Medium like all other blogging platforms has a problem of incentive. The pay is too little for quality writing and there’s always a gamble on whether your article gets views as you don’t control SEO or even formatting for that matter.
It was always filled with low effor slop because most are either:
I feel for Medium here as it does have an unsolvable problem really and AI has nothing to do with it.
They’re just jumping the newscycle for the propaganda machine. Russian government doesn’t care about tech or linux unless it can help them deliver more bombs to Ukrainian babies and you don’t need to fork the kernel for that.
The way Apple gets away with stuff makes me feel very conspiratorial. Like, how?
How is Apple getting a pass every time and my tin foil hat would say that they are protected by the US government. Maybe because it’s just an important corporation for the US economy but maybe it’s an important corporation for US spying too.
It’s incredible how long Apple has gotten a pass which makes me wonder why are they so protected.
100% this is not technology Russian citizens will ever see domestically. It’ll be some front for the propaganda machine.
One tries to make money by gathering data and targeting advertising to people intentionally addicted to a platform. The other is, you know… a blog.
but that’s not the issue in question. The issue is social media is introducing negative mental effects into teens life. Which we can all agree is true to some extent.
Now, how should we address this? Should we target specific elements like algorithmic timelines and lack of anti-bullying moderation which btw are 2 things that are scientifically proven here or we prohibit teens from accessing all social media even one that has no these harmful designs?
Do you see how this is just a shitty policy no matter how you look at it? It doesn’t prevent big corps from making a bank and does zero things to address the actual issue. It’s fucking stupid.
Where are you getting “corporate website”? when it would affect all social media websites including Lemmy and Mastodon or your moms blog comments.
The idea of online social exchange of opinions or experiences is absolutely a social construct. We literally didn’t have this and now it’s part of every single person’s life in some shape. How can you just prohibit that? Imagine prohibiting phone calls lol it’s incredibly stupid.
Again you compare this to substances and driving? You can’t be serious here? If you can’t even understand this issue then you shouldn’t be parenting let alone tell other people how to.
comparing substances to social media is fucking stupid and you should feel bad.
How would this even work globally and on places like fediverse tho?
it wouldn’t work. I’m betting 100$ right now that nothing will come of this law it’s purely populist virtue signaling.
Now Meta not only knows your name and where you live and your darkest secrets but your legal ID too — fun!
Yes I’m perfectly familiar with “survivors bias” but never seen it so extreme.
