That would be a good option if the social networks didn't have a long history of acting in bad faith. I think it would be an up hill battle. This seems like a reasonable response

Unpopular opinion but I support the intent of this bill. Kids shouldn't be exposed to algorithmic content. As it's currently written it looks to be limited to platforms with a certain threshold of users. Which might actually encourage fediverse growth. Any slippery slop argument is silly and just benefits Zuck and friends.

Life bites lazy people in the arse. They will have some short term wins but plateau. But honestly, if they're just there for the piece of paper then I think you're going to struggle to change their minds. Why do you want to convince them to change? And what is your school doing to curb brain rot AI usage?

Maybe you have a small package

Use isolated browser instances instead. I want to be able to install useful addons for YouTube without having to worry if they're monitoring me when I'm online banking etc. All modern browsers offer this. And I use a mix of browsers for different tasks. Like Firefox for most things because of the ad blocking / privacy. But I still use chrome for compatibility as some websites are lazy.

I opened Lemmy today and my front page was half TIL posts from Don_Dickle about genitalia

I made, "Strait to War", where you have to get a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. You can't pick your side, you just spawn in as either a tanker, an Iranian drone, or a US frigate. You have an objective but there is no real winning the game. It's an anti-war game disguised as a war game.

Sound doesn't work yet. Let me know what you think. I will add Iranian speed boats next. And I have no idea how it will scale with lots of users.

I feel like on mainstream social media this is done pretty thoughtlessly and it's a norm but on Lemmy, with the much smaller userbase, I kinda felt like... it's like riding on someone else's coat tails? Or is it just me? > > Edit: of course if it's artwork or text, obviously then I'd make it explicitly clear it's not mine but I mean news articles, memes, things like that.

I'm going to a cabaret show tonight and I wanted to get in costume. I tried to make some fake cigarettes but now I'm worried I'll these will make me look like a perverted vampire. What's the consensus team?

This may be an unpopular opinion but we should consider moving the Canada / US border 250km north along the Detroit river. Moving the border north 250km would reduce the amount of cross border trips for the automotive industry negating a lot of the tariff issues. And I don't think the geniuses ruling the US would realize that moving the border north along this stretch would result in Canada gaining over 9000km² of land.

The reason this may be unpopular is because Canada would inherit the Detroit Red Wings.

My 3yo wanted purple mash potatoes, it didn’t really work because I used yellow potatoes. Then my 3yo decided she didn’t want potatoes so my wife and I were stuck eating prison gruel.

Google has become an awful company. I'm in the process of degoogling but it's not easy given all the monopolies they have created

I'm a Demodex folliculorum and I'm currently dating a Demodex brevis so I'm somewhat of an expert. Our host is pretty gross and rarely showers which has made the real estate in this area really expensive. We've been trying to move to another host but the opportunity hasn't come up yet. Anyway, to answer your question, we have scuba gear.
