We will just have sketchy apps we download happily that trick the phone into thinking we are looking, further bloating them.

I wasn’t calling you out or anything, but yeah, culture changes, what people are used to changes. Also, people have always moved to the path of least resistance through history…hell we don’t use metric in the US because the easier metric system was too hard for boomers and change is frightening.

That is a disconnect the Linux community has. A complete lack of understanding of how little everyday, well known, base terminology is understood by newbies asking questions. They want to help, but are very bad at it until the asked has a certain level of understanding, and people don’t want to make it over that hump without help. It has always been a roadblock into onboarding more Linux users, and a wall many bounce off of.

Yeah, this one gets me, but you are exactly right with “years of experience”. Something goes wrong on my GFs MacBook or Windows PC and she just googles fixes, something goes wrong on her Steamdeck and she hands it to me “I don’t know how to get around the desktop mode”…GOOGLE IT, LEARN, YOU ARENT STUPID! sigh

It’s simpler that all that. Turn on new computer, open browser, install steam, install games, play games. Anything more complex than that makes it unusable. People have zero time to deal with even a slight hiccup. It is annoying to watch as people are getting into steamOS on Steamdeck and every little thing is the end of the world. I have seen “oh, to get that one to run smooth you gotta set the FPS locked to 30” met with “nah, I ain’t got time for all that, I’ll play it on the Xbox”.

I don’t know what the fix is, outside cloning windows GUI and making an ultra safe and familiar entry Linux (the replies will be various lists of “just use x,y,z” and “get this one and technobabble the dilithium crystals into the frondulator” and that just pushes people away instantly…there has to be a tiktok-dumb entry level OS before any real migration happens.

I gotta dust that boxed set off and watch it again.

All media should swing anti-nazi. More movies about killing Nazis, more games about it, etc.

That’s a lot of not making a point. The girl in the OP is still worried about walking at night and the most common threat to a woman in that situation is still men. You didn’t counterpoint any of that, so it is just you shouting into the wind about stuff no one is talking about. Cool.

Yup, and as a guy, I am not going home with two women that approach me in a bar after I flash some cash. Know your attackers and keep safe from them.

Edit: wow people misread that. I agree with OP.

Yup, and we are less likely to be targeted. Also, not a whole lot of women out there murdering around town at night.

“She just got raped, beaten and robbed, that totally isn’t a murder! Women are safer than men!” sheesh, talk about not making a point…

Honestly, never tried the newer Wolfenstein games. This sounds amazing!

Won’t anyone think of the poor Nazis‽ lol

Wow, that makes no point. Neat.

The most common I see is “I love China and their culture is neat, but their government is evil”.

Not for “no reason at all”

Yeah … I said that. Your data can be used and sold, it just doesn’t have anything to do with a tiktok ban. They already have your ad data, especially if you are a tiktoker/social media user. The van stems from security concerns, it has nothing to do with the average user, no one cares about them.

YOUR data doesn’t matter. Information gained from mass analysis of data that is tied to govt workers and military personnel is a security concern and it is treated as such. Nobody cares about your particular data, on either side (well, maybe ad companies, but if you are a tiktoker, you are already fully compromised there).

On the up side for tiktok kids. The CCP will likely order trump to unblock it.

It’s .ml, they have a lot of CCP shills/bots/ops/whatever. I haven’t heard this new spin on it. Which is kinda a funny one because the Xijingpoohbear started in China…you know, by other folks with the same skin color.

I’ll give the CCP social manipulators some credit, they are good at their job. Getting something plausibly called out for racism on Lemmy is a reliable way to get a lot of kneejerk support without any thought behind it.

I would imagine it gets samey day after day and is just a job that pays the bills. I know a girl that does such acting and it really is just a day job, I imagine the crew have even less investment after a while.
