Heh, I do have link previews on, and I’ll never forget XcQ. But the joke is on you, I’ll always listen to that banger!

Not really related, but I believe this is the first time I’ve seen an emoji as a link 🤯

I assume so, but I’m not sure where. I’ll have to Google it later

Also based in the EU, and mine were turned on

The section Methods on the Cambridge Analytica wiki page explains it pretty well. While it’s not proven to be able to directly influence voting, it’s effective at swaying people’s opinions and emotions about subjects.

The thing with tik tok isn’t only with the data China can gather from US residents. It’s also how they can use that information to influence the populace and send them propaganda, for example influencing the election results.

Nope. I have filtered both grad and hexbear out of my feed though, I don’t need their shit there. And don’t forget that many instances already are defederated with them, so there’s also fewer of them through that!

I was planning to, but ultimately didn’t. I have handed out personal blocks to obvious trolls and a brunch of hexbear users that spammed gifs in every single thread though.

Yeah. It’s pretty good in that regard. It usually hogs a bit, but it’s very good at releasing it if it’s needed elsewhere. FF though, not so much.

And yet since switching to firefox last year I’ve had more problems with FF eating memory and the browser slowing down, than I ever with Chrome. (not that I’m switching back)

For those wondering, ReVanced launcher short after that and is even better than Vanced.

but it doesn’t mean we ignore guns.

Uuuh, you sure about that? It seems like that shit keeps happening and nothing at all is being done about it.

Hey, don’t mix orcas in with sharks! They don’t attack people. (their boats, close to the mediterranean, have not been as lucly lately though…)

Dude, did you even read the (very short, obviously biased and sometimes factually incorrect) article you linked? Breivik is in Norway, not in Finland.

Lemmy, the singer of Motörhead that died 2015?

I have pirated a few games due to cost, since my SO is studying at the moment, and one of us has basically always been on parental leave the last 3.5 years. I bought both Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3 when I could afford it though, since both of them brought me more than 100 hours of fun.

But that won’t necessarily change with this ruling right? Your government doesn’t need to change how their apps function because of this.

I fucking hate how a lot of minecraft mods and modpacks only have info on their own discord channels. If I’m having problems, first thing I do is google it. Now that most of it is on Discord? There’s no fucking way of finding the information if you don’t happen to be a member of the right channel.

ReVanced is also a great alternative for Android.

Fair enough. I'm mostly using "big ones" plus SmartTube.
