  • ironically, replacing shitty clickbait journalists is something AI can and will likely do in the near future.

  • i love this cat

  • this is an ad, guys. look at the history.

    quite unfortunate.

  • signal requires a phone number and won't even allow you to send sms to those that aren't on signal.

    its better, but still not great.

  • third party games. that's what the article is talking about. and what I am talking about.

  • well... yeah. nobody wants to buy a full price game that they already own on steam that they got on sale 3 years ago.

    why would they? the only people those games are marketed for are nintendo exclusive users who have no other game platform.

    the world spins regardless of if nintendo decides to put out a new overpriced console or not. if they're getting left behind, the world will continue to spin.

  • addiction isnt something to pay 440 for. addiction is something to work on yourself or with someone who specializes in mental health.

    i have experienced addiction. smart phone addiction is a mild one and its completely breakable by changing one's own habits.

    people are capable of it. they're just lazy. shelling out 440 bucks for a gimmick that makes them feel like they're helping themselves doesn't seem like a healthy thing to do for one's addiction.

  • 440 dollars for a bad smartphone and the homepage of this site is some guy sitting in a yoga pose to make the company seem more 🙏zen🙏.

    people need to start exercising personal discipline rather than spending 440 bucks for a device with less features when you could just uninstall the crap you're tired of

    you can "dumb" down a smart phone literally at will. at any time. or just put the thing down more often.

    that won't cost you 440 dollars so some random guy can buy expensive yoga mats to pose on, and you'll be better off for teaching yourself better smartphone use habits.

  • honestly the target audience is young 20 somethings. older folks like me grew up having to use different methods to keep stuff together. address book/cassette player/CD player/date book.

    but then the smart phone happened and suddenly even mp3 players were obsolete. so us older folks embraced the functionality of a device we once needed an entire bags worth of stuff to replicate from our youth. I've never looked back from the smartphone because I remember actually carrying all that stuff.

    these younger people were born when tech was getting to that point. and their formative years were spent with smart devices. so their brains seem wired to want to break "free" from it.

    or at least thats just my theory. the 'iPad kid' generation is starting to be adults and they've not had the distance between smart devices that the older generations have.

    again, just my take on it.

  • i use Waterfox. its great. its a fork of firefox that still respects privacy.

  • if you confused about slavery legality in the united states, slavery is illegal.

    hope this helps you.

  • glad to be here =D

  • it can be tracked safely with an app that only stores local data.

    I'm not sure what you're scared of.

  • erm, I do use Drip actually. i have used it for over a year now as I didn't want trackers knowing my cycle.

    women do use drip. we just don't advertise it, usually.

    i have also recommended it to friends who were looking for a more simple app than these google play store ones.

  • doggy doggy what now?

  • imho people tend to exaggerate nowadays when it comes to that stuff.

    the writing isnt "horrible" its just not the best in the series. i found it to be alright, honestly.

  • why get away from lemmy?

  • i know about that. i also know its quite overblown. their EULA is no different than all of them.

    but no malware has been installed.

  • absolutely worth it to get, btw. still play it to this day.

    and Borderlands 3 I think is like 2 dollars on steam at the moment. absolutely grab that.

    edit: here
