It seems useless if I was forced to unlock my phone by someone violent, like the police.
My life seems a great deal more boring and uneventful than most people around these parts.

Considering that leaks have come from militaries around the world that aren’t allies, that seems pretty tinfoil hat.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the answer to the question that’s posted all the time on gaming forums of: “Phones are so powerful these days, especially compared to the Switch, why can’t we have real games on phones without microtransactions?”
Is there a way to individually hide? I only hide the ones I’ve already engaged with or decided not to engage with on Reddit, not every post I see.
I used the hide post feature on Reddit as my main way of browsing to keep topics I was done with from clogging my feed and keeping me from seeing new things.
No option to hide here on Lemmy.
it’s that at any point a decision can be made which you have no control over
This is true for any software you didn’t write. Plenty of FOSS software has gone in directions I didn’t like.
The only real difference is whether decision makers have a profit motive. That’s important, but that said, it’s not everything.
Great, now take the same freedom fighter bots and tell them to argue IP policy on social media online. We can hear all about the right minded ways to think about intellectual property and how all the comments around here are misinformation.
It’s like people lose their minds when you throw an enemy into the sentence. I don’t think these people crafting propaganda bots are heroes, even if they are on “my” team. Go down this road, and you can throw away forums like Lemmy, it’ll just be bots arguing with bots.
Honestly, if you look at it in a vacuum, this looks pretty similar to what the other side is doing.
It’s a bot that draws from its own side’s narratives and pushes that line.
Take away Russia from the picture and think about how often our media pushes a spin on other subjects that isn’t exactly the truth.
Doesn’t look so much like “social media propaganda bots versus AI-driven bots arguing back” as much as propaganda bots on both sides spewing whatever their masters want us to see.
What poor quality journalism writing.
How can you have a headline like that without addressing what makes the contents of the program unusual and what makes the program controversial?
Stay intellectually humble. It’s a huge component of wisdom in my observation. Understand you can always make mistakes that can be corrected, and that you have arrived at your opinions through limited information that can always be supplemented, so stay open to both of these possibilities.
You can be confident in your opinions that you arrived upon through spending a lot of effort thinking about them, and you don’t need to have self doubt when challenged on them baselessly. But when someone does point out an error or something you missed, it’s essential you haven’t become closed to accepting it.
Always remember what the basis are for your opinions and how well-founded they really are. For example: how much do you actually know about a thing when you’re relying on something you read in the news? How much do they really know about that thing?
As a check on yourself believing you’ve put a lot of effort into thinking about something, be on the guard for unwarranted confidence. If a professional has put their efforts into something in their field of expertise they’ve spent their whole lives working on, chances are you haven’t thought of something they haven’t in the first five minutes of hearing about their work. That might seem ridiculous, but you see this all the time on Lemmy, where for example commenters seem to think they’ve figured out key errors in scientific papers after reading a single popular science article about an experiment or figured out solutions to incredibly complex problems like fair taxation.
Again, just anti consumer bullshit spearheaded by Apple and gargled by Samsung.
Samsung was actually one of the later Android manufacturers to drop it is my recollection.
I used to do this. I thought it was awesome but I was literally the only person I ever knew who did this. It was not a popular thing to do.
That’s fair as a definition of genocide, though it isn’t the way I’m used to understanding the word.
Precisely because of the differences though, I’d also find it in poor taste to make comparisons been the Canadian genocide against indigenous peoples and the Holocaust.
I’ll go against the grain here and say I do think it’s antisemitic, for precisely the reason outlined in the parent comment, even though they themselves are also giving you a pass.
The genocide against the Jews, the Holocaust, was a situation where they were rounding up every single member of the ethnicity they could find in order to exterminate them.
Even though we use the same word genocide for the Uighurs, no credible authority I’ve ever come across is alleging that is what is happening in Xinjiang. Uighurs still openly populate the province and roam the streets publicly.
To compare them like this is to directly downplay the Holocaust in order to make a point on the Uighurs. In fact, I’d also say the widespread use of the word genocide for the Uighurs is the same, for reasons we’re seeing from the reactions of everyone else in this thread.
It always blows my mind some people actually found Apple’s defense convincing.
The iPhones didn’t inform users when they were throttling because they had an old battery. Apple kept the throttling a secret and coincidentally it helped them upsell new phones to people with old phones. This type of functionality was also unique to Apple, it’s not like this is the only choice they had and an industry practice.
Games haven’t been truly good for a long time
Meanwhile, here I am loving gaming and thinking we’re in a golden age of gaming compared to my youth…
Genshin Impact has an incredible soundtrack.
Took me a while to figure out how to sign in with my lemdro.id account.
Maybe it’s embarrassing to admit but I must have scanned through that long list of servers five times before realizing I could just type in my own server. Could be helpful to add a line inviting users to type in their own server.
Amazon is making over Alexa the same way Google is doing to Assistant.
This probably means a new lease on life for all of these types of products. Version 1.0 didn’t make money, but generative AI is the new hotness, so they’re getting a whole new chance to prove themselves.
Turns out it costs more to make things in Europe.
