$70 is typical for that, except it's 30GB of data for the month before they reduce you to around 25kB/s.
The classic "why don't people agree with me when I try to blame Jews for global conspiracies?"
At 10-11 minutes they get a second ad roll, so 99% of videos are about this length.
It's almost a certainty that a 2:30 video has more information than an 11:01 video.
DuckDuckGo manages it mostly fine. At least, the results are more consistent, even if there's the 1-in-50 chance it misses something Google would get.
The cynic in me suspects that Google makes their real results worse to increase ad results which are "close enough."
Took a bit for me to even figure out what "moral values" was supposed to mean in this context.
Turns out they just think porn is evil and that children hate being exposed to it or something. https://swisscows.com/en/media-education
Seems like the actual issue was that the law in question would let him be convicted even if he wasn't doing these things and just being a nuisance. It's not that he's innocent, it's that the law used is itself illegal.
Nah, Thomas will sometimes write his own separate dissents when he votes against something seemingly normal just to prove he actually has no idea what he's talking about and that ChatGPT2 would make a better justice.
They literally bought a third party app that they rebranded as the official one. Reddit only has an app because of third party apps.
Yeah, they're not pushing it because it matches some far-right authoritarian ideology Meta itself has, they're pushing it because conservatives taunting libs who fall for it and try to talk reason into conservatives drives tons of engagement.
I keep thinking that should be a logo for a Vbin instead
Yep. Reddit is going to die, the question was how quick and what do we do about it.
Like, reddit might stay around as another 9gag, but that's not really reddit then.
about the Lemmy devs
I mean, the devs haven't made it a secret about how they fully believe Chinese nationalist propaganda.
Not that it really matters though, since if any issues did come up, Lemmy itself would be forked with new devs "in charge" even if the original devs still continued most of the work. The lemmy.ml instance itself would be a different issue, though.
This is how they are
I don't really like it when people think this. Every group of humans has people that would do this given the chance. Otherwise I agree, that Russian leadership really doesn't care what their soldiers are doing, so the soldiers do what they want with zero accountability or fear of retaliation.
FPS’s seemed boring, online games couldn’t keep my attention long enough to get through a match, and eventually I’d just leave a game on the pause menu while I messed around mindlessly on my phone.
My partner does this.
One, you might have ADHD. I can't say, but you could look into it.
Secondly, you need to have some time to let your brain rest. When you bounce between tasks like that, you're never actually not doing something. People think of doomscrolling as taking a break, but really you're replacing your intended task with another task and there isn't a time where you do no task.
I see a lot of people talking about specific parts of 5G but honestly most of them are optional and only some of them will be active at once.
"Regular" 5G uses the same frequencies as 2G, 3G, etc. The carriers will be moving more frequency ranges of older Gs to 5G as time goes on.
In general, we can send more data at once because we have better math for sending data. There's not really an ELI5 that can explain that part besides more math.
Another part is there's also more math so that the phones can take turns talking better or split up frequencies better, so they don't have to re-transmit as much.
If you're in hyper-crowded areas, they made a new frequency range that cannot go through walls, but is way faster than the regular ones that we've been using. It's only good for like sports stadiums and stuff, and you almost never use this. It's called mmwave (millimeter-wave) and you can safely ignore any marketing around it. Not many phones support it yet because it's useless 99% of the time.
There's also not really any penalty for making extra accounts at different servers. I signed up for both kbin and lemmy.world before I settled on kbin.
A whiny trust-fund baby who destroyed their company and image through compulsive lying?
They seem equally worthless to me.
I just realized that in the last few months I haven't even heard anyone talk about the Metaverse in any way, even about how it's dead. The exception was the week of the Apple AR headset reveal, there was some commentary about how Apple was going out of their way to avoid being associated with it.
They're extremely pro-China. They deny the Uyghur genocide, by saying it's just as real as "white genocide". It's mostly criticisms that I would say are valid except that mixing in the Chinese propaganda kinda spoils the whole thing.
My expectation is that some people will just use it as an excuse because they actually enjoy Reddit turning into 9gag with NFTs. If it really becomes an issue, Lemmy will be forked, and new devs will lead it.
(There's also still kbin.)
the boss could technically read anything we wrote
My old work actually ran into some issues because they couldn't see DMs/private channels.
Maybe this is a cloud vs. self-hosted thing? It's been a few years since I've worked there though.
