Activists say Israeli troops have boarded aid ship bound for Gaza

  • I'm assuming the lack of /s is what's getting people here

  • The I implies intelligence; of which there is none because it's not sentient. It's intentionally deceptive because it's used as a marketing buzzword.

  • Interesting use of quotes. I wonder how it was "paid for"

  • Its compliant because they write fekin standards (or at least have significant sway about what becomes standard). It's almost like monopolies are bad ^^

    • the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high

  • I understand your point. I don't agree, but I see what you are getting at.

    Addiction and enjoyment are not the same though. The millions of league of legends players are evidence enough of that 🤣

    Either way, each to their own. I shall leave you to enjoy something you enjoy, but I still believe it is evil.

  • You misunderstand the key design principles though. They are designed so that people struggle to have the strength of will to put the apps down, because every third thing they click through is generating ad revenue.

    Lemmy isn't perfect, but I, like many others, have no issue putting it down when I'm done with it. I personally check it for about 10 minutes when I wake up and before I sign off for the night.

    Its worth noting that Lemmy doesn't have an algorithm, it just shows you posts in chronological order (technically not true, as there are community ratios and such, but it's true enough for a general statement).

    My disdain for these apps is born from watching family and friends waste days (sometimes 8+ hours at a time) on them, and then often being totally incapable of recalling anything they've watched or learned. It's actively harmful to their health.

  • I think realising something is specifically designed predatory addiction engine and then practicing self restraint to avoid that product isn't being misinformed or something to be ashamed of.

    TikTok, YT shorts, IG, they are all the same, and are categorically unhealthy for anyone; much less the youth.

  • Dropshipping isn't a real career and is categorically rent seeking behaviour.

  • True, but sadly the kind of one they must take to avoid being hit with a cease and desist.
