• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  YouTube and Instagram already have identical features. Most creators who post on Tik Tok also use those platforms already

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A literal child taking orders in a fast food restaurant in the US⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  15 year old kids are probably capable of cashier work so long as they aren’t overworked and it doesn’t get in the way of school. It is legal in most places.

  The child in the photo does not look like he is 15 years old

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mint Mobile discloses new data breach exposing customer data⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched to US Mobile a couple months ago and it has been a much better experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Reddit Crushed the Internet's Largest Protest⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reddit is still one of the biggest websites online. Hardly anyone outside of tech circles is familiar with Lemmy or the fediverse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UnitedHealth sued over use of algorithm in Medicare Advantage plans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  UnitedShitcare will milk you for every penny and piece of sanity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We No Longer Need a Big Carrier’s Wireless Plan. Discount Ones Are the Way.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  US Mobile and Visible both offer plans with prioritized Verizon data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon and today's fediverse are unsafe by design and unsafe by default⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As a trans person, I feel far safer on Lemmy and mastodon than I ever did on any other social media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I might replace Microsoft with Linux in Windows 12

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Truth Behind ‘GiantCockNYC’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Been happening to me for a while. Someone on Grindr has been messaging me the same boring selfies of himself from different accounts almost every day for the past year and a half.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPDATE YOUR BROWSERS IMMEDIATELY. RCE VULNERABILITY DISCOVERED⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably so it can still support FireFox sync.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You couldn’t even pay me to use Twitter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do yall go about meeting new people while still maintaining a decent level of privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ultimately you will have to make some concessions in regards to privacy. Most people aren’t going to install Signal just to talk to you because it does not fit their use case.

  I’m also gen z and from the US, I go to university, and most people who I know use Whatsapp or Discord to communicate. While Whatsapp is not perfect, their messages are end-to-end encrypted, which is much better than most other mainstream platforms (I would honestly say that it is better than Telegram). Discord can at least be accessed through a browser with an email alias.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  censor channels that go against globalism

  Such as…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, if advertisers start pulling out then I could see something changing. But advertisers are unlikely to do that unless they stop making money from it as well. So a campaign like that sounds like a good idea but also will be very difficult to succeed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They could pay more staff to moderate, or use their fancy AI that they like so much.

  You might think it is unethical to silence different opinions which is a valid position. But on the other hand I see it as unethical to host dangerous misinformation and hateful content.

  YouTube is essentially a monopoly and there isn’t any realistic alternative for most people, so it’s not like they have to worry about backlash so much. That’s a whole 'nother issue though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Google/YouTube doesn’t care. If they can put ads on it and make money they will leave it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Kids Online Safety Act' will deliberately target trans content, senator admits.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is more than just cruel. It is abusive and genocidal. LGBT youth will die because of this law and the countless others being passed in certain states.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z is ditching iPhones for $100 'feature phones,' and the numbers don't lie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more about wanting to take a break from looking at a screen and watching shitty ads for so many hours per day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The German Rhineland-Palatinate State Parliament has ditched X (Twitter) in favour of open-source decentralised Mastodon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If algorithms are are not the default option and are not designed to generate profit for platforms and advertisers, then perhaps they could be a healthy way to discover new content

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨leaving google⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Skiff is another option to replace Gmail, it has 10 Gb free storage.

  I wish Bitwarden auto fill worked better with this browser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"It has to be Chromium"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It overheats my MacBook and runs like shit on my windows desktop. and frankly too many features for me that I would never use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"It has to be Chromium"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Safari with Adguard adblocker.
