No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"?English
91·1 month agoOr creating the myth it just works. As someone that supports corporate macs this is definitely a myth.
One of the best advice I have ever got is when you talk to people is ask their names after giving yours. It turns people you meet into the start of being friends. It shows you care to know more about them.
At the end of the day you make social hobbies happen and the friends come with that

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When did the Internet come to reflect society? Or has society shaped the internet? Were we always distrusting mean and vindictive before the net? Are we really that bad?English
2·2 months agoThe moment journalists started just reporting social media posts as news was the downfall. The internet has never reflected reality but journalists being lazy or news corps being greedy spent years convincing everyone that it was.

Technology@lemmy.world•Meta Deletes Face-Recognition System From Its Smart Glasses App After WIRED ReportEnglish
31·2 months agoTrue enough the idea is to be long gone by the time something goes down. I’m not saying I would scream in a crowed but just quietly walk up and tell father/husband. I mean if wasn’t being creepy why would he be wearing a hidden camera bon his face.

132·2 months agoI think the plan at this point if you catch some asshole wearing smart glasses. You walk up to the biggest dude around and tell him that the guy is recording his kids or wife with his glasses being creepy.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•is the barter system the peak of economics?English
2·2 months agoMoney is not the problem if it stays a representation of work. money being you used as a commodity that can be traded is the problem. That’s how you get parasites that exploit and feed off others labor.
Bartering is just the stock market trying to get what you have to what you need. Making multiple trades to get what you want and your not going to bring all those things for each trade. Then you are going to bring a representation of the trade and we are right back to money again.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are Independents just embarrassed Republicans like Libertarians Apolitical and Moderates?English
3·2 months agoYour correct I do in 99.5% of cases but depending on your location sometimes you only have the choice of Republicans then it goes into harm reduction mode. I have also had to vote for what I call ratchet democrats as they are put in power by corporate interests to stop any progress when dems are in power. I hold my nose as I do it but like I said at the end of the day its about harm reduction.
