If only that happening once was enough to learn from our mistakes.

I don’t mind this at all. My friends already are not interested in anything I say so I might aswell chat with the AI like I already do with chatGPT.

Lemmy definitely is by-far the best platform to keep up with what’s going on on twitter.

I feel so wise now for having landed as an user of both independently

The only ads I see are physical ones on the sides of the road and in stores. All the rest I either block or manage to avoid by some other means.

I have two but I’m still seeing ads everywhere.

Or just go to a different gas station instead of vandalizing property that’s not yours.

Advertising is among the most studied psychological phenomenoms in the world. It’s not so much about getting you to buy their product but more about you remembering the brand. Ads work. That why they’re everywhere.

Sure I can name several brands that I’m not buying from either because of their ads… …but I remember the brands.

In Finland our equivalence to Wal-Mart also sells cheap gas and they have ads on their pumps advertising their own products but it’s just on the display and there’s no sound with it.

Some people are actually interested in seeing pictures of someone else’s baby?

Just an illustration of what the article is talking about; I can switch to another app and still get the same podcasts. Not the case with Netflix, Spotify, HBO and so on.

Conspiracy theorists are people who believe wild, baseless information, whose only sources are other people who believe wild, baseless information.

Like that Elon Musk is personally responsible for kicking Yulia Navalnaya off Twitter only then to restore her account an hour later and that he’s doing this because he’s a Russian puppet?

There’s plenty of legitimate reasons to not like the guy but what I’m seeing here is a hate cult. The above claim about him is literally wild, baseless information and its source is other people who believe in said wild baseless information. When challenged the response is either complete silence and flood of downvotes or misinformation about him turning off starlink to prevent Ukrainian attack on Crimea.

Would be curious to hear what you think is the strongest evidence for him being on “team Putin”

Conspiracy theorists? I was looking forward to the changes he said he was going to make but how does that make me a conspiracy theorist now?

EDIT: I’d love to read the logs for why I’m getting downvoted for. This is one damn hateful group of people lol

I’m sure it was Elon personally who suspended the account but then had to restore it an hour later because he couldn’t possibly have forseen the blowback this would cause. No way there’s any other explanation for this.

I don’t honestly even remember. Most likely had something to do with the UI

Pocket Casts did some update I didn’t like so I switched to Podcast Republic and haven’t looked back. I do have Spotify Premium aswell but that is and always will be for music only.

Aren’t most of them like that? The one I have records when the car is on and turns off when it’s not. It basically has no features at all except for the capability to record video and audio. Made by Garmin.

I don’t undestand the need to have an app for stuff that works just fine on browser. In my books less apps is always better. The desktop and mobile version of Lemmy on browser gets the job done perfectly and is way more polished looking aswell.

Yeah. I’ll like every video I watch and comment too every now and then.
