Why didn’t torrenting become the go-to file transfer method and a must-have for every computer?

Aren’t you making too big of a fuss over simple humor

Is there such a thing as talent that isn’t a byproduct of a high IQ and personal interest

it won’t be mandatory, unfortunately. Would’ve loved to see another fediverse mass migration

That realization must have been embarrassing haha. It’s okay, friend, we can’t be expected to be caught up with everything going on in tech.

That must have been rough

But a negative consequence of that was the centralisation of email providers.

I’m a high schooler and I’m totally down for this

Keep calling it twitter.

Sure technology may be convenient, but it doesn’t conversely improve learning.

In real life, regardless of what people like to say there is more often than not a correlation.

Only, you shouldn’t take those for facts and shouldn’t make assumptions.

This. Many people feel good about themselves for using lemmy, but not using big tech software doesn’t mean you’re doing better than before.

Social media remains social media and still is a huge time waster and a detriment to your attention span

Though I try to be more lenient on this view because not long ago I was reminded of the benefits of moderate social media use.

As an end-user, how can I make use of this foundation and their work to better my internet use?

But the device makes it easier to lack self-control

I’ve already given up on Twitter, having no real attachment to the platform anymore, so all that remains for me is genuine curiosity and excitement as to what the platform is going to become.

Because “X: the everything app” is an ambitious project done by one of the biggest social media apps, I think whatever happens next is going to be very interesting.

You’re correct and much more reasonable than I am. I’ve learned from you, thank you.

df tube (distraction-free youtube): toggleable options that allow hiding the recommendation feed and featured videos on the homepage, so as to reduce distractions.

To those who allow their free time to be consumed by youtube because they consider it to be a good investment of their time since they’re learning new things, please try this. You might realize that Youtube really just is a poisonous social media amongst all the others and that you really don’t need the suggestions.

It’s great that you’re aware of it

threads really blew my mind

It really looks like the general population is actively looking for new ways to get their data harvested and their attention spans damaged. People are rejoicing over a new social media app (and it’s from facebook of all companies!!!). They’re rejoicing over a new poison and that’s mind-blowing to me.

But then again I use Lemmy so who am I to talk? (Whilst Lemmy is an improvement from most other social networks, I still consider any social media use to be a detriment to my life)

High number of people concerned about privacy?? There’s, like, 5 of us unfortunately.
