You could vote for a different party for example

Not in the US you can't. It's basically the same as not voting. You can argue that it's in favour of republicans, even.

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! (pawb.social)

I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

Trarmp ,

Yeah, that only works if such third party is nearly as large as the republicans, which it isn't. Until then they'll sooner try to appease right wing voters.

It's the opposite of that one Black Mirror episode lol

Nothing justifies burning kittens alive. Not Even Doom Music.

Won’t work because it doesn’t have the -r flag.

wait, has that been there the whole time or did you edit the image? Didn't know Lemmy could do that.

TikTok OBJECTIVELY collects far lesser data than Big Tech apps and services

This is not true for a number of reasons, first being that once the data gets sent to a Chinese server, it's gone. It's like a void. Those "data collections analysis" can speculate, but they truly have no idea what happens with that data.
Another reason that TikTok is as bad as Instagram, is that they farmed all the data from the in-app browser. Every click, scroll, everything.

You can argue that they have a different approach to data farming, and they do: they try and rope you in, trick you into giving them your data. But it's demonstrable wrong to say that they collect less data. I wouldn't say they collect more data than typical west social media platforms, but I think it's disingenuous to say they're somehow better.

I've been guilty of this, but do get how it's a bad thing. It's like calling people NPCs.

It’s almost like politics touches on every aspect of the lives we live, from the brick we stand in to the air we breathe.

    I like WebKit browsers for linux.

    Trarmp ,

    IIRC it changed its name to the GNOME Web Browser, and it's decent enough. It doesn't have exact feature parity with Safari, but the rendering and web stuff is nice and efficient.

    What if I told you that throwing more developers at a problem != that problem getting solved faster?

    If it’s within your financial means, please donate to Yuzu

    Are you absolutely joking? I'm not donating one cent to those clowns. I hate Nintendo and corporations with a passion, but Yuzu coding their emulator to support an un-release game -- and making money off of it -- is obviously the most illegal shit. There's literally no way for emulating a pre-release game to be legal -- how would you legally obtain a ROM of that? They did this to themselves. They're going to way of Bowser rather than other emulators.

    Edit: Oh would you look at that, looks like Yuzu settled and is paying Nintendo 2.4 million dollars. That's weird for a """non-profit open source project""" to do.

    btw I use gentoo

    ...haaaaa, couldn't keep a straight face, nobody uses gentoo.

    sell all my data, they’re all the same

    A lot of it is also lazy writing, often crossing over into negligence. The Japanese magic school being literally called "Magic School" is an example of that, where she just ran it through google translate or something.

    Now that I think of it, I shouldn't be surprised that someone so intellectually lazy is such a big transphobe.

    Trarmp ,

    Same. I’m glad the ‘default’ instances are federated, since I want to follow a bunch of folks on threads. And I’m glad that I dont have to give up my personal info to zuck to do that.

    Trarmp ,

    That’s a pretty good example actually. React has been a boon to webdev imo, and I love using it. Yarn too.

    It’s like people don’t want to email people with Gmail addresses because Google at some point killed off XMPP*, in fearing that email altogether would be killed off.

    • which it didn’t even do, XMPP was a terrible protocol by itself already.
