Is sarcasm

Are you kidding? Instance blocking is almost necessary for surviving on Lemmy. Use a different client. Jesus bro, ya gotta block.

Glad to finally see the tide turning here. The ability of the Lemmyverse to ignore the deep seated asshole within Yen and praise Proton has always bothered me. He’s not as bad as scumbags like Tim Apple and Zuckerberg but when things are shiny on the outside but rotten at their core, it’s best to avoid.

Whats wrong with you?! Why aren’t you thinking of the children??!

The characters here resemble children. Reading stimulates the imagination in a way video cannot. It’s a meme not a statement of absolute truth. In my country at least children are saturated with screens and reading is undervalued. It’s not a criticism of art forms, it’s a criticism of modernity, child-rearing, and content. To your statement there is higher volume of shit video content than shit literature.

Bit of a tough crowd for this when posting via a medium people are only seeing on screens. There’s a clear defensive tone echoing in these comments.

They cut his fingers off. It’s definitely AI.

Hey, I wear t-shirts over plaid sometimes. It’s not fashionable right now, but this is a little too judgemental.

That’s a high bar mate. I’m in awe if you can sculpt something that looks like an animal or person or something other than a rock

Seems like a waste of cocaine.

Marketing outstripping reality? Is that even allowed to happen? I hope nothing like that happens with the dick pills I just ordered.

You know what. Fuck Linda Park, fuck this ass-kissing Google loving article. “designed to protect users from malicious software and scams” and the article keeps this tone throughout. This is not about protecting users! It’s about tightening the grip on control of the app ecosystem.

Consider android authoritys article https://www.androidauthority.com/google-android-sideloading-unverified-apps-new-rules-3650343/

That at least has a little survey where you can express your take on this change

If you want a better perspective of the real impact of this for devs :

You’re confusing corporate hegemonies in bed with an ultra-corrupt federal government for software that would respect someone’s privacy.

If anyone could afford to fix a sign…

Does it really matter if checks and balances have been wiped out? Seems like just a label.

Imagine they would at the very least have some sort of double check procedure like a skin color chart they could reference if there was any question.

“Mr. Trump seems aimed at getting more women pregnant, whether they want to be or not.”

That’s kind of always been his thing.

Now I understand why everyone is fighting over this.

Hurt myself laughing at that last line. Are you doubting the mighty power of enshitification? Are you the last true believer in corporate quality?

Looks like another subscription service.

I’ve been using Stirling. It’s a little quirky sometimes but works fairly well. I’ve heard pdf gear is decent too
