It's a lot of dead internet with most posts being dredged up reposts and celeb gossip/worship (which has gotten way worse btw). It's starting to resemble instagram "memes' and the nerdier shit is definitely coming over here.
I can get out of lemmy what I got out of reddit a long time ago. It only takes a few hundred smart/funny people to make a chat board good. We're here now. Hopefully some of the niche communities get ported over soon enough, but the real greatness of reddit was that it was mostly uncensored and intelligent opinion. That's mostly dead.
Seems like the DNC is basically a dead organization walking and the DSA and other upstarts are going full grass roots. The left operates better from the ground up anyway.
Android features with a UI as dumb as facebook so they can slap their proprietary mix of stupid gestures and menus and where the fuck are my files located and how are my photos on the cloud already I didn't want to do that, who the fuck made this shit, why is my phone facetiming my boss on accident wtf is going on, why does everything feel like a Tim Robinson skit. Ya but if I don't have the checkmark then I'm the loser or something.
I remember trying to get some online account activated that was in the apple ecosystem so I try to do it from my PC and it doesn't work. Call up customer service and they say use your iphone to do it. I'm like, dafuq does it matter what device I use, it's the internet it should work with any device. So i try again with Chrome (which is my default because the safari search or whatever apple uses sucks balls). Still doesn't work. Turns out I not only have to do it on an iphone, but I have to do it using safari browser on an iphone. That's the day I realized that Apple built their entire company on trapping the tech illiterate and keeping them that way. None of the UI makes sense and a lot of the users act like these byzantine features are completely intuitive and superior to all others. No they aren't, you just don't speak any other languages but Apple. Most users probably don't even know what a file is and far fewer could tell you where the data files in their phone are actually located because from what I can tell the user interface just babies you to whatever you're looking for with a crappy search function.
They are the Russians in the Cold War, or basically the Russians now. They are a despotic empire that has spats on its borders, signs treaties with no intention of adhering to them, invades their neighbors, is hyper aggressive with espionage, and sees the Federation as weak for not doing likewise without realizing that what makes the Federation strong is that they have a rule based system and a moral code.
As a matter of fact having something upset their world view is catastrophic to their entire psyche, so they completely ignore reality, most especially when it stares them in the face. It's cult behavior through and through.
It's illegal to posses. Anyone training the models on that is criminally liable for possession as is the company. And it's a conspiracy to posses that was directed by someone, which is now RICO. Will they prosecuted? No.
Oh ya well, go back to your country. Oh you already live there? Well...keep doing that!
