  • Anyone else about ready to give up on the internet?

    Jump

  • Just don't read news. News push negative narrative because it creates strong emotional reactions and people engaged. Problem is even here on Lemmy, people share and discuss these toxic news instead of writing their own view of it that is more modest and objective.

  • British people, do you think at some point in the future the UK will rejoin the EU? If yes, when and on what terms?

    Jump

  • It is, no doubt. But she failed to see the benefits that came with it. It's not pick and choose, you get the benefits in exchange for also taking the downsides.

  • The best of democracy - if people choose to abolish democracy it and appoint a totalitarian cult leader for life - it would be undemocratic to prevent the will of the people.

  • But then the price increases by 150% per month :D

  • How to Gently Move Your Non-Tech-Savvy Parents Away from American Big Tech (Without Starting a Family War)

    Jump

  • Change happens in waves - first come the early-adopters and enthusiasts, then the curious, then the majority hits, then after the majority come the initial sceptics until everyone is there.

    If you apply the same logic in the past, our parents were probably the sceptics who initally said why would they install an app to communicate when they already had perfectly fine cellular calls and SMS, and they had no reason to use WhatsApp.

    The same tech we try to move them from, were the same tech we probably spent the same amount of effort trying to get them to use it in the first place.

    Jump

  • Is the problem the content or the platform? I thought it was the platform because crap content can be found everywhere, even in the non-US platforms. But I mean, as average people, what benefit do they have from switching their life? You would feel better, but what about them?

  • Why do people always talk about Ubuntu here instead of Kubuntu?

    Jump

  • We could ask why not any other *buntu distro. Ubuntu is simply the default / most popular / most well known. Also, comparing desktops, Ubuntu seems modern (UI / UX) while KDE kinda gives me Windows 2000 vibes. I really prefer nice UI so KDE is just not pleasent to (my) eye.

  • Looking for a European Tablet

    Jump

  • Nokia / HMD tablets are trash. Like literally trash. I had the T20 and T21 as my company needed a ton for the workers in the field. We moved away from them ASAP. They are extremely slow and full of bugs. Avoid at all costs.

  • Looking for a European Tablet

    Jump

  • Just to ask, is it important to be European, or is it enough to be non-american?

    I mean... Samsung is a South Korean company and has great tablets. Software will be American whatever device you buy.

    Jump

  • Let me give you the perspective of your parents - it's frustrating being forced into changing everything I know and is working perfectly fine for no obvious negative consequences of keeping things as they are. The entire thing seems purely ideological. Why change everything and make things break and make me basically start from scratch learning all these new things?

    Instead of wasting time changing people who do not want to change, why not focus the time and effort on people who are bit more modern, tech-sawy, aware of the situation and at worst, evaluating the switch but still unsure? Instead of walking through a creek, you are frustrated because you try to drill a tunnel through a mountain.

    Jump

  • Focus on the future, not the past.

    Let your parents live like they used to, since they are probably not really impacted much anyway (until we are all impacted). Focus on teaching your kids who a) understand tech much more and b) will teach the next generations.

  • /r/BuyFromEU: "Let's settle the Reddit alternative discussion: Lemmy doesn't need to “beat Reddit”, it needs to feel effortless"

    Jump

  • It can't feel effortless and it never will. Why? Because Reddit is like having every person in your telehone book, easy to find and communicate with. And Lemmy and fediverse in general are like phone numbers without a phone book. You and someone else might both have telephones, but unless you meet in person or another way to exchange contact details, you can't communicate with each other.

    So, people need to put a bit more effort in it to understand it, or we need a fediverse telephone book.

  • How to motivate people to be part of the change?

    Jump

  • All people have that in them, just "life" gets in the way. The things you probably want are not necessary, but additional. And most people have already so much stuff to do, and going on in their lives, they just try to keep the work and burden to the minimum. And by going that way, you would either need to carry more burden, or let something else fall down.

  • How come residential power lines aren't buried underground still?

    Jump

  • Cost and ease of maintenance. Isn't it obvious? The only ugly thing is instead of having separated multuple conductors without isolation on the wire, you can have isolated wires, and twisted together, so instead of 50 wires throughout the air, you would have one thicker.

  • I think the focus is digital media, and in that space media is the short of multimedia.

  • Media is more audio, video, image. Which fits social media.

    Most forums and blogs are text-based or primary text. There is no blog sharing only images/videos/audio as posts. Also no such forum.

    That would be my key differentiation - forums and IRC is social, but not really media.
