Revealed: almost half of British teens feel addicted to social media, study says

Jump

  • This is just social media working as designed.

    • Watch a 13-year-old become the first person to ever beat Classic Tetris

    Jump

  • It reminds me of if you look up a trailer on YouTube and the first results are usually a bunch of videos of people "reacting" to the trailer, with a stupid shocked face in the caption.

    • Bluesky posts are finally open to the public

    Jump

  • Now everyone can see how shit it is.

    • When/how do you think capitalism will be defeated?

    Jump

  • Why would you want it defeated?

    The most successful and happiest countries in the world are the Nordic countries, which are capitalist economies.

    • Another great advert from Threads. Not really looking like my kind of place.

    Jump

    • 'The Last of Us' Was the Most-Pirated Show of 2023

    Jump

  • There's also Now TV, or NOW as it's called...err... now.

    • Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free

    Jump

  • Not to mention the shockingly bad picture quality.

    The 4k stuff isn't terrible, but anything that's in HD is bloody awful.

    • How could the EU do this??

    Jump

  • This is from the Daily Express, which is a paper that's full of these sort of ragebait, horseshit headlines.

    • What do you like about socialism?

    Jump

  • Pros: It's nice in theory.

    Cons: It will never work in practice because human nature is a thing.

    • The weather is here, wish you were beautiful [OC]

    Jump

  • I wish I was beautiful too.

    • Britain likely to generate more electricity from wind, solar and hydro than fossil fuels for the first year ever in 2023

    Jump

  • What it means is, the UK can go fully renewable and it will make almost no difference to global emissions.

    Climate action doesn't work unless every country is involved.

    • Britain likely to generate more electricity from wind, solar and hydro than fossil fuels for the first year ever in 2023

    Jump

  • Yes, because supporting this decarbonisation means I'm pro-oil. Obviously.

    The eco nuts I'm referring to are the "Just Stop Oil" and "Extinction Rebellion" types, who like to pretend we're up there with the likes of India, China and the US in terms of pollution.

    • Britain likely to generate more electricity from wind, solar and hydro than fossil fuels for the first year ever in 2023

    Jump

  • Yes, despite what the eco nuts tell you, Britain is actually very good at decarbonisation.

    • YouTube is doubling down on its distracting ambient mode

    Jump

  • Yeah, I don't care for this feature but I'm not going to get wound up by something that I can switch off in about three presses.

    • YouTube is doubling down on its distracting ambient mode

    Jump

  • Turn it off then.

    • US commits to landing an international astronaut on the Moon - This decade

    Jump

  • If you think humanity has the power to reverse climate change, then you're going to be very disappointed.

    • US commits to landing an international astronaut on the Moon - This decade

    Jump

  • If the planet was on fire, leaving it would be a good choice.

    • Block Meta/Facebook from Mastodon

    Jump

  • "We don't want to interact with those toxic people from Threads"

    "But I'm okay with Threads federation"

    "WTF? You must be a fascist. Go suck Zuckerberg's dick, loser".

    The irony is hilarious. And they wonder why more people aren't open to joining the Fediverse and instead stick with the corporate sites.

    • Block Meta/Facebook from Mastodon

    Jump

  • FFS, all the constant hysterical posts about Threads on here are worse than all the Elon Musk ones.

    • Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net.

    Jump

  • This is why I don't understand all the hysteria about this.

    If I don't want to see Threads or I don't want Threads to see me, I can go to a Threads account and click "block threads.net".

    But obviously that's too complicated and it's easier to just whinge to your instance admin about how Threads federation will be the death of us all. 🙄
