Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.
Shit move from Reddit. Glad I jumped ship to lemmy.
Honestly, lemmy has less users compared to Reddit, yet you still get more engagement.

Fear of cheap Chinese EVs spurs automaker dash for affordable cars
Honestly, just take a basic normal car, and replace its engine with an electric one. No on screen entertainment, no cameras, no AI bull shit, no self driving. Just as basic as it gets.

Now that you have settled here on Lemmy. What is your impression of it?
Less content to go through, so you end up going through posts and comments a bit more thoroughly. This translates to higher engagement from users overall compared to Reddit.
The con of course is less content to go through.

Gen Z is bringing back landline phones because they think they look ‘cool’: ‘I love to twirl the cord’
We all know landlines won't be coming back. They can try and make it cool with some fancy stock photos but mobile phones have killed them long time ago.

What happened to LineageOS? Has it been replaced by GrapheneOS?
No. They are two different projects.
Lineage is about providing a Google free version of android AOSP and supporting as many phones as possible.
Graphene is about making a privacy centric version of android that can run Google apps sandboxed. Graphene only supports pixel phones.

What are you buying now to avoid upcoming price increases?
Been archiving a lot of my favourite shows. I expect a lot of them to either disappear in ten years, or sit behind some subscription.

With discord planning to show ads, how can the fediverse/lemmy benefit from another proprietary program making itself worse? (Like it was with reddit)
Why not promote matrix as a substitute?

Android users switched less frequently to iPhones in 2023, report shows
The US market is such a weird one. Apple owns more than 80% of all teens over there and Android might struggle to expand there in the future. However, outside the US, Android is still prevalent in many markets (and will grow in many third world countries), iMessage isn't that used, and blue/green bubble argument does not exist.

What's the best financial decision you've ever made?
A lot of people are against credit cards which is understandable. But I use them almost exclusively and pay them in full every month.
As long as I don't go over whatever I have in cash, these credit cards help me in building credit score as well as provide a layer of protection should some person or site try to over charge me later.
It's not for everyone, but it worked for me.
