You wouldn’t download a baby?!

Yeah, I only looked it up because I remembered being charged for dropping off a broken TV at a Texas location.

It looks like they’ll take certain items free, while others (like non-Best Buy branded televisions) you have to pay them to recycle. In California there’s no charge for store drop-off; I imagine because they have a dedicated e-waste recycling fee.

Looks like the pink heart is against federating with meta.

Happy to see that nearly all the biggest Lemmy instances are blocking it, with the glaring exception of lemmy.world, which is the largest by far. lemmy.world is to lemmy as AOL was to the early internet—the default bucket for those who don’t know any better.

Yeah, social media algorithms are doing a lot of damage. I wish there was more general awareness of this. Based on personal experience, I think many people actually like being fed relevant content, and are blind to the consequences. I think Lemmy is great, because you have to curate your own feed, but many people would never use it for that very reason. I don’t know what the solution is.

Oh, noes! There’s only like a billion other instances you can access it from.

I guess it is just some nerdy dude. At first glance, I took it for Sue Perkins.

I really don’t see these $3500 VR goggles (or any other goggles) being widely—or hell, even narrowly—adopted as a TV replacement. There are frankly an exhausting number of reasons why not. For one, it would only make sense for those who exclusively use their TV alone. That rules out the vast majority of television owners right off the bat.

Sure, and when you petition the people they follow, and ask them to drop the platform, they say they have to be where their audience is. It’s an ouroboros of apathy and cowardice.

FWIW, I live in Texas, get Vyvanse through the VA, and have to go in for a urinalysis every, I dunno, 3-6 months maybe? Testing positive for weed will not affect your prescription, ime.

By some people, sure. But Mandela and the ANC were designated terrorists by Reagan’s government in 1986, and this wasn’t changed until 2008. It’s definitely untrue that he wasn’t called a terrorist in the west.Source.

I have to assume this is part of a PR strategy wherein he claims to have been replaced by his evil twin from the mirror universe.

It’s disturbed me for the last decade or two to see people increasingly posting YouTube videos as sources for information. I don’t see how TikTok is any worse.

Can relate. It’s crazy-making the way so many people link some bullshit YouTube video as if it were a credible source for anything.
