  • It is in California, which is where reddit is based.

  • That's not what I was responding to but in any case, no, I don't think tiktok is a threat to national security or going to cause a war. This is FUD.

  • "Failure is always an option." -Adam Savage

  • There are thousands of instances. I don't understand why everyone is piling on to lemmy.world

  • Yeah I'm going to block this community if something like this comes up on my feed again.

  • This has happened to me the last two years on Amazon with Prime Day and Cyber Monday.

    I'll have a few expensive items on my wishlist that I'm monitoring and holding out on for a sale, only to see the price go up right before the sale.

    I used to spend hundreds during those sales but after getting shat on for two years I no longer participate. All their marketing hype is wasted on me because I simply don't believe them anymore. Amazon has lost my trust.

  • The majority of americans are fuckin stupid and believe whatever their TV programming tells them to believe.

    Who said anything about war?? I'm staying "in this regard", which is about privacy and data being taken and used by a government. Outside of that context yes I think the CCP is absolutely worse than the US in just about every category. There's no question there.

  • As a floridian I can't wait to get the fuck out of here!

  • Because simple people are compelled to say something even when they have jack shit to say. Much like a toddler.

  • I honestly don't miss reddit anymore. For a bit there it seemed like Lemmy was lacking in content. That's no longer the case. Even better is there is less low effort bullshit to sift through to find said content. I don't want more recent users to come over. We've got the good ones already. Let the rest stay where they are.

  • Yes, yes I do. Also the CCP can't ruin my life, unlike Uncle Sam. Deciding which one is more evil is irrelevant.

  • It's also good for accessing the Store on a device that does not support Google Play services.

  • I believe they temporarily defederated while the hack situation got resolved.

  • You don't think Meta, Google etc are passing data to the American government?

  • Same. In fact I tried to find alternatives but there just wasn't one at the time.

  • Nox for president!

  • Why would I want an inferior device?

  • I had to program my first computer for it to do anything.

    Sadly, most people have no grasp what that even means. I've had adults think that means I "downloaded something into the computer" and then it worked.

    It was around that time I just stopped talking to anyone outside of my geek circle about anything technical. Best to play dumb.
