It’s not a matter of intelligence, these people just have different priorities.

The political ideas you can find on Reddit are much more diverse. There is usually at least some pushback against some of the most deranged statements.
my comment looks stupid because OP made a (sensible) edit to their question. Before the edit, OP was asking how to rotate the lock screen without using the word “lock screen”
fwiw, that screen is called “lock screen”
A related thing that annoys me, if you start Steam manually, it takes ~30 seconds to launch and it will steal your focus multiple times during launch. So annoying!
I like using AntennaPod for podcasts and Spotify for music.
Nobody knows if and when programming will be automated in a meaningful way. But once we have the tech to do it, we can automate pretty much all work. So I think this will not be a problem for programmers until it’s a problem for everyone.
When the Apple car is released, the EU will invent 350 kW DC fast charging via USB-C 🙏
Games companies expanded like crazy due to low interest rates and high demand for games during the pandemic. Now interest rates are going up and people go outside again.
USB A doesn’t have Power Delivery, the highest it can do is 15W for USB 3.2 and 4.5W for USB 3.1 and older.
But these dongles exist, I bought some and they work for charging (I haven’t tried to use them for data)
I agree with your point on biodiversity and yes, climate change poses an existential threat to individual people, but not to civilization as a whole.
No, I’m certain that human civilization would survive.
I don’t think this kind of catastrophizing helps. Climate change certainly doesn’t “threaten the fundamental existence of organized human society”. Sure, we should do more about it and future generations would be better off if we were to lessen the impact, but it is not an existential threat.
Have you tried Gadgetbridge? It replaces the Pebble app completely. I’m on Android 13 and it works really well (but requires a bit of tinkering to set up). Also, if it broke going from 13 to 14, I’d be interested to know what went wrong. I’m still using my Pebble every day.
It doesn’t make sense for Lemmy (or Mastodon) to send your IP to other instances. Without that IP, all they have is your username. They can’t really track you based on just the username.
What a wild conspiracy theory.
Legally, they can’t collect and process any of the data unless you accepted a contract with them. Just by sending an upvote or a comment to their instance, you don’t agree to any of this.
And if they choose to ignore the law and just do it anyway, they still can’t, because all they have is the data that your instance sends them. They don’t have your geo-location, device Id, etc.
Interesting. It seems that Lemmy can see Mastodon users and send private messages to them. And I believe Mastodon users can create Lemmy posts, so potentially Threads users could do that too once Meta enables two-way communication.
I’m in favor of federation. The point of federated networks isn’t that there are no evil corporations, but rather that they can’t cause damage.
What Facebook can do:
What they can’t do:
I think this is mostly relevant for Mastodon servers due to the format of the content, but the arguments are the same.
When WIRED asked Copilot to recommend a list of Telegram channels that discuss “election integrity,” the chatbot shared a link to a website run by a far-right group
Not sure what the Wired authors expected to happen.
Sure, but they also need to be on a platform that people actually use. I agree that there are lots of reasons against Discord, but my point is, they didn’t choose Discord because of a lack of intelligence.
