Congratulations, you're about as smart as a MAGA republican then. Wouldn't want basic definitions of things to sully your world views!

Here's someone who hasn't ever read a study on population and how many people identify as trans in nations that support it...

Because that's literally what happens. On both "sides". (I kind of cringe at calling them sides, because I don't care about their orientation, but for the sake of argument)

Propaganda is saying identifying as non-cis is wrong.

No, Propaganda is pushing any viewpoint you want to be more adopted. It doesn't necessarily have to disparage anything else.

Like an iPhone ad. They don't put up messages that are like "ew you're an Android user, you're so stupid and ugly"...they just put up an ad talking about how awesome having an iPhone is.

Same thing.

You don't need a facebook theme to feel comfortable in your own skin. It's there so you can make absolutely sure that everyone around you knows your orientation. Like an advertisement.

I say either A: Remove it entirely - and use some generic theming; or B: Open up a theming engine entirely, and let everyone theme it completely however they want; like the old Winamp.

Don't just give a select few demographics their own theme while ignoring others. This is an even-handed approach that doesn't discriminate against anyone or anything.

Nah. I'll be here for the foreseeable future. If only just to make the echo chamber a little less echo-y.

Why would sex be considered 'impure' anyhow? Humans moved past pleasure simply for procreation long ago. You can do whoever you want, idgaf. Are you assuming I'm some sort of religious follower? Nah. Pretty anti-theist and non-believing. Thanks for participating! You missed your mark though.

I don't use any social media with the exception of Lemmy. No Tiktok, No Instagram, No Facebook, No Threads, No Twitter, none of it. I still see constant alphabet-mafia propaganda everywhere.

Good, it is about time we stop shoving this idea down everyone's throats. We don't need the propaganda everywhere we turn in our day to day lives. They can enable it during the month of June when every corporation turns their icons rainbow, and leave it at that.

ICP is visiting the white house?

Cellulose is just plant fiber. You're literally boiling tea leaves which are themselves made of plant fiber! This is silly.

These "materials" included cellulose, which is just plant fiber.

Are we really going to start calling plant fibers "bioplastics" now in an effort to scare people?

Not enshittified. We still pay a monthly fee for access to the internet and it still operates in the same way as it did back in the 90s.

There was auto-playing music, auto-playing gifs, auto-playing banners all over the place, and it was always for time-wasting. It's literally not changed. Maybe its inhabitants have changed, but it's largely exactly the same as it was.

The days of randomly happening on goatse from clicking some link in a chat room are basically gone, and places are far more moderated than they ever have been. Open source software exists for anything and everything you could possibly do, and with an adblocker, you see none of that shit - which you should have been running 30 years ago, as well as today.

Additionally, everyone keeps piling onto this "AI Generated" bandwagon even though a bunch of it isn't. Any time they see a mistake, they think it's AI and not some basement-grown dweeb with a inferiority complex.

The term "Enshitification" encapsulates when a high quality service exists, and is reduced in quality for the purposes of profit. If anything, the internet grants higher quality access to things today than it ever has; for cheaper prices, and faster speeds...

I'm paying $60 a month for symmetrical gigabit fiber access to the internet. Gigabit upload speeds! For 60 a month! How in tf world is that worse than what we had before?

If you legitimately can't tell the difference between the two, I don't think anyone can help you ever understand.

I know it's popular to whataboutism this shit, but neither is right.

When is a violent bunch of psychopaths at your doorsteps NOT relevant?

Do our Healthcare Orginizations lay siege to police departments to murder their officers? Or mayors, etc?

To be fair, Mexico is run by a bunch of drug cartels.

The fact that you can claim this unironically, speaks volumes of your ignorance.

https://huggingface.co/models -- Check out all of the things that various AI models can do. They aren't just LLMs and Diffusors.

When the "Web" bubble burst, were we left without websites? No.

When the AI bubble bursts, it isn't going away either. It replaces too much labor. Training the AI models is expensive, but running them isn't. Especially on Lemmy, too many dullards don't understand why AI is so popular; it's because it's replacing your job - or allowing 1 person to do the jobs of 10.

Most crypto mining outfits undervolt their cards for lower power usage. They aren't cranking them as you say they are. A dead GPU doesn't produce anything for you; cranking it up the chance that it will fail. You're better off running it an extra 4 years at a lower voltage than you are cranking it for 1.

If you're thinking about it when you don't have it, then it's an addiction and it's too much. If you reach the point of trying to watch it in places you shouldn't be, it's probably crossed that threshold.
