  • I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me?

    Jump

  • If you aren't buying premium, maybe you are instead saving money to buy some of the things that are advertised to you. I have plenty of disposable income and could probably buy some of the things I see in ads; I don't like wasting money on things I don't need, so I buy neither YT Premium nor most things that I see in ads.

    Also, if some of the things that are advertised to you are things you do occasionally need (like food), then your argument likewise doesn't work.

  • Not a lot, even the argument in https://xkcd.com/504/ doesn't really work for this. First Amendment meanwhile…

  • transitioning to closed intranet

    I think that's the goal of governments around the world, especially that of the UK.

    We, as humanity, had a chance to create a utopia of unrestricted worldwide communication. We are currently letting our governments destroy it.

  • Games with loot boxes to get minimum 16 age rating across Europe

    Jump

  • The UK government decided in 2022 not to amend the Gambling Act 2005 to include loot boxes, saying no evidence showed a "causative link" to harms.

    Since when is that something that stopped the UK government from trying to regulate technology and curtail its citizens' digital freedoms?

  • Meta Platforms: Lobbying, Dark Money, and the App Store Accountability Act

    Jump

  • Absolutely incredible that Meta, a company whose founding was dependent on a free and open and unregulated Internet, is now funding lobbying against such an Internet, supposedly in order to make sure no one can compete with them who have the money and lawyers to comply with any regulations.

    When https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence was written, Mark Zuckerberg was a preteen; I wonder if he ever read it and is now consciously working against the ideas that made him rich. (I have nothing in principle against people getting rich from founding Internet companies. I do have something against them then engaging in this kind of lobbying.)

  • Explain it like I'm 5: Why is everyone on speakerphone in public?

    Jump

  • The way I remember it, on old phones before smartphones, speakerphone was a very obscure feature that many users didn't know how to turn on. I certainly didn't (I was a child at the time) unless someone showed me.

    On modern smartphones it's very easy, maybe that should be changed again. 😁

  • Explain it like I'm 5: Why is everyone on speakerphone in public?

    Jump

  • I use speakerphone a lot in my own home too when no one is around. It's just more comfortable to hold my phone in front of me instead of to my ear. Never in public unless specific other people need to hear it.

  • Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question

    Jump

  • Seriously though; most citizenship tests I've seen in my life (on the Internet; I've never changed my citizenship, so have never actually taken one) ask about things like how various governmental institutions work, not the dimensions of randomly selected landmarks. Is this a well known piece of information in the UK?

    A major difference is that Lemmy doesn't allow following individual (microblogging) accounts, only communities. The other three allow following both AFAIK.
