Am I the only one bothered by this?
It’s like when I go to vendor halls at conventions and half the vendors are repackaged aliexpress/temu items

Yeha we were all kids at same point so don’t say f kids. Instead F the societal expectation of parenthood/natalism. My main reason is that there’s already too many ppl on this Earth and parenthood is hard, very hard with no return policy

The internet is great again, thanks to all of you 🙂
One of my favorite features of Lemmy is that there's an actual functional downvote button. So many platforms nowadays are removing the downvote button or straight up making it useless. I remember when YouTube used to have a proper downvote button and it made it so easy to tell when a vid was not good or clickbait. Even on Reddit, the downvote button just changes the total score but it doesn't actually show the number of downvotes. Being able to see the actual number of upvotes/downvotes is such a nice thing to see coming back.

Name a single feature you’d like to see in a Switch 2
Backwards compatability. Getting the 3DS has really made me appreciate how many games I can play on the system since I can play 3DS/DS/GBA games all natively. Whatever Nintendo does with the Switch 2, it should be backwards compatible with the Switch so that I can continue playing my favorite Switch games without having to wait for a port.

Reddit had/has a plan to block mobile browsers in favor of their app
Even now anytime you access Reddit mobile website and see an NSFW post, it would prompt you to install the app without an option to cancel. Literally the only way to continue without switching to the app was by using old.reddit.com

"Google AI summaries"
Worst is when is uses phrases like “widely accepted” for questions I ask that are open-ended. Also Gemini completely makes up stuff when it comes to configuring settings in DAW and Davinci Resolve in my experience.

apparently he helped lead the team behind M-series chips and Airpods which are Apple’s few good genuine innovations of the last decade so he seems promising!

I went along with MAGA and wore the red hat sometimes until about 13
How were you allowed to wear a cap (that too a political one) in school? I went to a public school and we weren't allowed to wear caps or pull over our hoodies when inside.

Doesn’t matter if it's not enforced. We have no holding phone rules in GA and I routinely see people using their phones while driving.

This is a real "AI" ad from the US government about the end of the mandatory use of the auto start-stop.
Of course they conveniently place two blue-haired “liberal” women in the car with the auto start stop to “own the libs”

Anyone else feel like ~99% of their life was kind of wasted?
Covid has made me realize that no matter how much free time I have, I'd rather do nothing at all than pick up something new.

ok then
“This show is not available in your country” is the one that pisses me off the most. The Internet connects the entire world and then we have unnecessary artificial barriers like georestriction for no reason. There’s foreign shows I’ve been wanting to watch but they’re not available on torrents and only on these georestricted platforms so I can’t even watch it even if I’m willing to pay (which I am for few films).
