To add to that. Meta has been found to have used a man in the middle attack to gain acces to data from competing services. Intercepting and selling that user data before it got encrypted. They literally are evil. Do not let them in.
I don’t own either current gen consoles. But I do have a rather up to date PC. I don’t have any current gen consoles when I owned some before (360, PS4) because I don’t like how they handle those consoles. I don’t run windows anymore because I disagree that MY PC that I built is somehow Microsoft’s property if I use their software. I used to be a Halo fan but ever since Halo 4 the series has been rather… Mediocre and I just don’t have time for sub par experiences. In fact I have not touched any AAA titles in so long because they have all been overly save and boring.
I don’t hate every big company making games,in fact I miss the old Ubisoft from the early 2000s or valve or blizzard (save of a few things) or…
Either way, the market isn’t infinite and at some point keeping the existing player base is probably a good idea. So is not pissing of customers with practices that are predatory. Ultimately wild uncontrolled growth is also known as cancer.
Iirc I did that for roughly a year and then proton hit. It was a bit of a different experience for sure but even at that time it was not all that bad. coincidentally that time also taught me a lot on how to troubleshoot stuff so I suppose it had it’s benefits despite the added hassle that it was sometimes.
It recently struck me recently that a number of users mostly scroll the All feed. This came up in a conversation where people were discussing how their main usage of lemmy was to scroll All and then rely entirely on blocking to refine their feed....
So… As someone who uses the all feed and that includes finding this post and subsequently interacting with it. There are reasons to use all. I use my subscriptions more as bookmarks to have an easy return path to a community should I feel the need to really check up on that particular community. I then use all to browse for interesting content to read and possibly interact with. I don’t use local because that feed gets stale with things I have already seen very fast and I don’t look at only subscribed feeds because I don’t want it to be an echo chamber of my own preferences.
I block communities that don’t interest me, can’t interact with reasonably anyways or that are simply annoying. As it is I don’t see a problem with using all since it still drives interaction via comments like this one. You can’t really restrict voting either since that creates more issues than it solves. Remember that voting on a post is interaction too even if there is no comment from someone. Perhaps that person is short of time or just doesn’t have anything to add.
At the end of the day it is personal choice how people choose to discover and interact with content.
Ich hab ja jetzt keine Kinder aber ich würde das nach wie vor mir Bargeld machen. Wenn das weg ist war es das eben. Im Internet müssen Kinder in jungen Jahren noch nichts kaufen können und große Ausgaben sollten da auch eher noch nicht so spontan möglich sein.
Später erstmal mit einem Konto auf Guthaben Basis und Karte. Aber dann ist es auch OK solange es ihr Geld ist. Immerhin kann man dann ja erwarten das sie wissen was ihnen wichtig ist.
The EU’s climate agenda is in trouble. The Green Deal, which aims to slash the bloc’s carbon emissions by 55% by 2030, had started off promisingly after several major pieces of legislation were adopted, including its ban on the sale of new combustion-powered vehicles from 2035 and new carbon border tax....
If we only had a market lead in solar power in Germany. Oh we HAD that! we also just happened to have conservative politicians who decided to sell that technology to China. If only we had corporate structures in Germany building wind turbines that were competitive. Oh we HAD that…

Meiner Meinung nach sollte man das Wahlergebnis nicht anerkennen. Genauso wie man sich solange der da an der Macht ist sich auf einen Krieg vorbereiten sollte. Totalitäre Autokratenstaaten verhandeln nicht mit einem. Und versprechen auf Sicherheit halten sie ja auch nicht ein.
Basically… The theoretical risk of a mutation occuring that is unwanted. Here is the thing that graphic hides though. With gene editing it’s a company that decides what is desired and what is off target. And we all know that big corporate is primarily interested in making more money. Not the well being of the people.
Ich glaube so langsam das es echt ein Problem ist das man nur für verfassungswidrige taten belangt werden kann aber nicht für den Versuch immer und immer wieder verfassungswidrige Gesetze durchzusetzen.
Wenn sowas auch Konsequenzen hätte würde diese Diskussion wohl nicht zum drölfbrillionsten mal im Raum stehen sondern wäre schon lange mit einem Satz aus einem oder weniger Worte beendet. Nein, niemals.
It’s also completely unnecessary since there are better devices for tracking and shenanigans available. Why bother with a shaver that has neither a camera or a microphone or is tracking location for anything when you can use a device that has all of that. Like pretty much every modern phone on the market, more so smartphones.
Regarding that other thing… In practice it could be that you are staying in a hotel room for any reason really but you forgot your power brick, still need to shave, but have a PC for one reason or another and a spare cable to use. However unlikely that is, but it’s not unheard of to forget the phone charger when going on a trip.
I mean… If it has a USB socket and I can plug it into my PC… Surely it was intended for that. After all the USB ports on a PC are just as capable of delivering power.
Sure may be an unusual solution to charge a shaver but you could do that.
For what it is worth. Entire less than legal dark net markets get shut down and all their assets seized for facilitating exactly that kind of trade with ill gotten data. Facebook is literally evil.
Du kannst doch nicht einfach den armen Weltkonzernen ihre Profite wegnehmen! Das geht ja mal gar nicht! WIr brauchen die 168 Stunden Woche ansonsten geht es der Wirtschaft so schlecht! /s
Geil! Noch ein Projekt das richtig teuer wird und Geld das eigentlich für alle gedacht ist wohin pumpt wo es nur den wenigsten was bringt. Vorrausgesetzt das start up hebt ab und ist erfolgreich…
The bigger mistake was not ensuring that the standards that must be met to even get into the EU also have to be maintained to keep your rights within. If that were the case Hungary may not have a say anymore and would not get EU money either until they fix that. After all it seems like the only thing or an cares for is his and his accomplices money.
I read about WhatsApp and how people can’t part with Meta because of it, however no one on my continent uses it. Why is it so popular in the EU and other parts of the world?
AFAIK: First one to be available on mobile and was independent too. Yes there was a time when WhatsApp was not infested by what we know as meta now. Also people are LAZY DUCKS and don’t want to put in the most minimal of efforts to switch to different platforms.
