New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion
  • Check out https://wiby.me/

    The Internet gained steam through hobbyists and is now that corporate shell as described. In my opinion it absolutely was a better place 25 years ago. Today the internet is filled with social engineering everyone's trying to influence something and it's terrible.

  • The psychological warfare that happens internally when I come to pay my restaurant bill is killing me
  • Workers are now paid 20+ bucks an hour for fast food and the machine still ask for a tip. Yeah, I'm not made of money and we obviously need jobs. I have drastically cut down dining out but new minimum wage laws which are good has thrown tipping culture into chaos. You don't know when to tip and when not to tip and what someone gets paid and what they don't get paid. It sucks. Everyone should just be paid a living wage so we can call it a day on tipping.

  • Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?
  • When people are content what is there to say? People tend to post about topics that anger or frustrate them. The quality of the post varies on the sincerity of the user. Anything from shitposting to actually articulate arguments. You're unlikely to find the latter on any form of social media. Most constructive conversation happens face to face. It's just too easy to derail an online conversation and there are powers that be that are literally troll farms because it works.

    There was a message yesterday about the game werewolf. An informed minority will generally control the uninformed majority. You get a small number of people to troll and that's all it takes to derail conversation around any topic they don't like.

  • All my real Americans from US State stand up!

    There I was ... lotion at the ready .. then .. suddenly .. I have a strong craving for soup and cigarette.

    It tasted fishy though but hey .. it was good for me.

    Thank you.

  • All my real Americans from US State stand up!
  • Does Lemmy need a "people of Wal-Mart" group to remind people who the real American voters are?

    We're here. We're fat. We're voting.

    Pew Pew Pew .. 'merica.

    Source: am a fat American (US citizen not to be confused with those "other" Americans)

    Edit: readers can attribute /s based on their philosophy.. Pew Pew Pew

  • Despite Microsoft's push, Windows 11 and Edge see decreases in user share
  • Win11 is why I'm using Linux Mint. Gaming was the last barrier for me and Steam is doing God's work.

    MS is positioning Windows as an ad platform. Start menu is now a cluster fuck without regedit and deep dive into settings.

    I prefer an OS that doesn't ask about advertisement IDs on install.

  • Roku disables TVs and streaming devices until users consent to new terms
  • Is there a FOSS option to turn something like a pi zero into streaming device? My assumption is a flavor of Android is required?

    Edit: referring to streaming services such as Netflix. I'm aware of that home plex and jellyfin servers exist
