Right now I’ve completely given up candy and soda for about 3 years now. I hate the business practices of candy companies and how they target children and make their shit as addictive as possible. They use ultra vibrant packaging to get kids eyes to lock to the product and they know kids will beg for it until they get it and they put it on their eye level and on the sides of the checkout lines.
The entire candy thing is just scummy and I hate it so much. I personally see it as legal drugs for children.
It’s not really fair to compare it to the wii u because the wii u was a handheld console while this is basically a hand held gaming streaming device. The wii u is more compared to other handheld consoles/computers like the steam deck or Asus rog ally.
Kinda sucks as having Sean tweet emojis and the community trying to guess what the update will be is always fun do and this kinda ruins the surprise. But anyway let’s go there is another update!
I saw a few of these “vandalized” billboards until I looked it up and realized it’s just an advertising scheme. It’s so fucking stupid because I thought these fuckers got what they deserved until I realize they themselves did it just to get people to look at their ads more and create discussion.
I got banned for 3 days because I told a pedophile in dm’s (he messaged me first and I said I was 16) to kill himself and then a few hours later reddit banned me and when I put in an appeal they rejected it.
But at least it gave me my final push to move to lemmy.
My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.
It seems like most people at my highschool are familiar with their basic favorite apps and can get a not great grasp on new applications and programs. But other than that it seems like a lot of people seem hopeless because they might now how to use their favorite apps well, but the second anything errors out of bugs out or they install a new app that isn’t so user friendly their brain just powers down. They don’t even try to Google it.
This is one thing that kinda concerns me is they people stay in their little apple ecosystem and use the most basic apps they don’t really get that experience of actually googling s error code or a specific bug. Even people who use their phones half the day still don’t know shit about anything because they don’t leave their bubble.
But I know it’s not everyone’s thing to try to step out of the bubble and learn how to troubleshoot and fix stuff. But there is so much cool stuff out there that they just refuse to learn because they didn’t immediately understand the app. It’s like they are scratching the ice with how much they can do with their devices and they don’t even try to go deeper.
I’ve seen the controversy where lemmy.world defederated from 2 piracy instances. So since there is no one big owner what is stopping someone creating a instance that host CP or other illegal stuff?...
Moved to lemmy.blahaj.zone because of this. And also I kinda got fed up with the outages even though it’s not their fault. Glad to see the federation thing is working as intended.

Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology? (dmv.pub)
