resist any draconian measures

Really bro.

I bet you wore a mask and took a dozen jabs during that pandemic and like being a sheep.

Yup, stop whinning that your girl didn’t win the race and just make the best of it.

Get ruled.

Who knew an Xbox and Sony product was classified as groceries.

I can’t grow facial hair

Food ordering/delivery services are a double edge swords. Its convient but it “keeps you in your pod”.

I am not bothered by these services as long I can still go to the restaurant itself and get the food in person.

Only an unpopular opinion to a nariccist.

Dart/Flutter allows for compiling native apps and allows for better device access.

I would not recommend react-native. I would recommened Tauri instead but Tauri does not compile apps for Android and iOS currently but has this on its roadmap.

Gitea and Forgejo are the way to go. Especially Forgejo which is working on federation just like Lemmy but for Forgejo repos and instances.

Would make typing much harder and longer.

However all PC games will have joystick support.

That is an interesting keyboard. Not something I will use but can help many get surfing the web.

If you look at most videos on the internet. Videos that are tall are not usually educational compared widescreen videos. If a content creator wanted to make a video on WWII, they will likely use video editing tools and whip up a widescreen video. When people want to share how their day is, they do not use a video editor, they open up an app and record themselves.

I find tall videos annoying, even on smartphones.

epik offers lifetime plans for some domain names and is a Swiss company.

No I do not use TikTok but I do know videos can be 10m long. However many TikTok videos do end up outside of TikTok like on YouTube or LBRY and they are usually under 1m.

I am sure there are lots of WWII channels on TikTok, but the tall video format, and the effects are just annoying.

People said the exact same thing about YouTube, and people’s desires for fame. The world still turns.

True. The way content was consumed back then was more enriching I guess compared to the short video format now in days.

Rest assured, people are learning on TikTok, (and YouTube, and Facebook).

You can learn lots on YouTube and other simular platforms like LBRY. You can’t learn much on Twitter or Facebook. Tiktok “learning” is short clips oviously like “Did you know” or “Here are 3 thing you can do with your phone” but this is not deep as watching a 20 minute YouTube video on WWII history for example.

TikTok is Chinese spyware. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube is American spyware.

I hate the short video thing. I find many zoomers are into TikTok. The short video length, the subtitles on videos, the filters and the attention span effect it causes does not help. Yeah I get it, social media is bad for everyone in high doses, but zoomers are such a subverted generation and short videos do not help, weather that is TikTok or YouTube shorts.

I am not in favor of banning Tiktok or short video platforms, I wish people will use social media for learning things, exploring ideas and not watching stupid clips of some kid talking about their day. That is what bothers me most about TikTok rise to fame. It is not how it is Chinese based and a privacy nightmare, it is how it changes peoples interaction online and how they use the internet.

We need more people on lemmy from all different backgrounds to balance these debates out. Defederation may still occur, but the majority will not be a bunch of radical lefties.

As tankies would say “diversity is our strength!”, so lemmy needs more diversity of opinion.

I always used Xubuntu or Linux Mint Xfce. Both have access to the Ubuntu package repository and are easy to use and install.

But not for mobile, especially Android. I would like librewolf to maintain a hardened Android app with their own F-Droid repo.

Very true. So many times I find a 5 minute video playing some awful music with text instructions on the screen on how to solve X problem.

As much as I hate stackoverflow, it can be a good source at solving issues.
