The Toilet Theory of the Internet: Google is serving an audience that wants quick and easy results. That may lead to disaster.

Jump

  • I don't mind looking through several pages of results, but the problem is that many results are the same web domains, which causes glazed-over eyes seeing the same results. So, I think it's the search engine's fault for this behavior, at least for me.

    • Prominent Android manufacturers commit to supporting phone software for 7 years

    Jump

  • What about the battery? I doubt they support free battery replacements for 7 years...

    • Corporate astroturfing is the norm

    Jump

  • I see this on all platforms, even steam. Only the negative reviews are culled and labelled 'review bombing' by the corpos.

    • 4 months durability for an $800 phone!

    Jump

  • There is nothing premium about glass, that's marketing lying to you. It's designed to break easily being smooth and fragile, to make the phones more disposable.

    • Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was

    Jump

  • Sounds like growing pains.

    • Secret Service notified as Trump aide brags about 'causing innocent people to be arrested'

    Jump

  • Hollywood money is highly regulated, and secret service is very strict about it. Adam Savage recently made a YouTube vid about movie money, which has stories about the secret service at the beginning of the video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=drLzVcgnBfI

    • He was evicted and his home was later listed on Airbnb. Meanwhile, his landlord hosted a charity event to end homelessness

    Jump

  • Does Lemmy have a reminder bot? This would be a good use for it.

    • The Price is Right television show is a low-key way to normalize inflation.

    Jump

  • I always cheekily call it 'the price is wrong' show.

    • Streaming is cable now | Seventeen years after Netflix and Hulu kicked off a streaming revolution, it’s looking more like cable than ever.

    Jump

  • I stopped using Hulu when it introduced ads over a decade ago and never looked back. The stock of that company did really well despite the cable-like inconveniences.

    • what lemmy web app do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Paid version of Boost. I could mute things without having an account, because I couldn't decide on which instance to select. Filters didn't reset either when I finally got an account. Non-account browsing was limited to lemmy.word pov though. I'll still shop around if an app catches my eye.

    • What animals do you dislike for unusual reasons and why?

    Jump

  • All bugs. I hate them so much, I don't care if their eradication means the collapse of biological ecosystems. It's probably an undiagnosed phobia.

    • Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two

    Jump

  • I hope there won't be a series of unfortunate accidents...

    • Lemmings, do any of you avoid politics on here?

    Jump

  • I don't avoid it, but also don't comment my thoughts and opinions on everything because of narrative rules. I don't want to be harassed for a difference of opinion.

    Also, I used to filter out trump, but stopped because of the upcoming presidential election. I'll probably filter him out again after the election. I also filter out elon musk.

    • Helldivers 2 CEO Apologizes For PSN Account Requirement

    Jump

  • Helldivers having DRM was the red flag for me to not play it. I'm not surprised they are making more bad decisions.

    • Exclusive: Bernie Sanders worries young people are underestimating the threat from Trump

    Jump

  • Recently came across project 2025, which is a plan to upend the government for trump to run it like a dictatorship. It's actually frightening to even entertain the possibility. And I'm guessing it's derived from how putin got to his dictatorship position, because trump really likes putin and met with him too often.

    • TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

    Jump

  • Corporations have more rights than the people, and rich people hide behind their companies. So, without looking it up, I'm guessing trump business.

    • The Taliban are working to woo tourists to Afghanistan

    Jump

  • Guessing men only?

    • Police clear pro-Palestinian protesters from Columbia University while clashes break out at UCLA

    Jump

  • Ty!

    • Police clear pro-Palestinian protesters from Columbia University while clashes break out at UCLA

    Jump

  • Are there non-twitter links?

    • ???

    Jump

  • I think any voting system can be abused or gamed. Reddit's system created karma-whores. YouTube sucks without downvotes. I have seen game forums with emote voting systems that were abused a bit.

    That being said, it would be nice to see something new on Lemmy, to distinguish it from other platforms and maybe promote engagement, something that benefits both positive and negative voting.
