Im honestly confused. Youre mad that the post youre making in a public space so that anyone can see it, is seen by anyone? Youre mad that people want rules in these spaces, so it can be a friendly place instead of devolving into a cesspit? If you want to talk privately, yes of course this isnt the space to do so.

Theres plenty wrong with the surveillance state the entire world is moving to, but your take seems to be a hot one.

Yep. Dont use Opera. They are known for being an incredibly scummy company that has done illegal things. Im 98% sure opera gx is spyware

A guy named bowser being the villain. Why cant this be the timeline with bowsette?

Everyone praises them? The only times Ive heard (from westerners visiting/moving there) is that it is very annoying that there is never anywhere to throw away their trash

I moved to MN about a year ago. Its a good choice

I dont think there are multiple privacy communities because of the donain names. Its because people disagree with and dont want to be on or associate with thise instances lemmy.ml is a tankie instance, dbzer0 is specifically only for anarchists, etc.

So its actually doing what the fediverse was designed to do, and allow people to have spin offs in their own flavor. Whatever the reasoning behind creating multiple of these communities is, Im almost certain it has nit been because the domain name was too unfriendly. This is especially apparent if you look at all the popular 196 communities and why they were made.

My memory says that both vent and teamspeak were way better for audio, but this was also a time where no one had a mic remotely close to the average you get today. Video, yes. But skype was really buggy and often did not even work

Cant read the article due to paywall, but, nothing “went wrong” with skype, it was and has always been utter trash. Just having your username leaked was a security breach. Skype’s only merit was it was the first easy to use video calling platform that combined text, audio and streaming in one.

Theres a reason why it was so easy to move my friends group off skype to discord right when discord launched, but I havent been able to convince that same group to move from discord.

I would rather be unemployed than in a job I enjoy. So it really just comes down to can you afford to be out of work for that length of time?

If 5% of all US workers striked, it would be the largest strike in US history by magnitudes. This says there are 170m workers in the US, which would put 5% at 8.5m. The largest single strike seems to be the 1946 steel strike which consisted of 800,000. 5% of everyone striking would not be third page news, and it would do damage to the oligarchs. I would absolutely consider 5% to be generalpopulace buy-in. Youre right half the country would actively oppose it, though.

Thats what it stands for, yeah. Theres not any erp in the game. The poster above you references not liking kira (the game dev) because of something early access they dont want to explain about. I could be off on my timeline, but iirc thats about when they added pronoun options for the characters.

Doesnt like the game? Thats fine, despite it being my favorite indie game of all time I do think its niche. But I wouldnt hold this posters views with any merit.
