I was born in 92. My childhood (part of it, anyway) was in the 90s and I do remember the latter half of them fairly well. These things are never really clear cut, especially for people born around the “change” in generations.

Yes, the constant Muscovite sabre-rattling is why NATO countries are starting to take their militaries seriously again.

A truly shocking number of people don’t use any form of adblock. I doubt that driving off the adblock users will have a significant effect on viewership (and even if it does, why would Google care, it’s not like we’re making them money).

The 70+ age group was the one the AfD performed worst in. It’s young people voting fascist here in Germany, the old folks vote CDU because that’s what they’ve always done.

They probably prefer consumers running pirated Windows over consumers running Linux. As long as most people are more familiar/comfortable with using Windows than Linux, the more likely companies are to not even look at alternatives.

Oh, for sure. I just think it’s funny.

Ironically, .ml seems to be blocked in China.

Oh, cool. That one flew completely under my radar. I’ll have to check it out when I have time.

Are there mobile apps yet? Because if no that’s one huge advantage Lemmy still has over Kbin/Mbin, and it’s why I switched to Lemmy when Artemis started having issues (it went down completely since) instead of going back to Kbin.

Outside is where the mosquitos live.

No, the assessment is stupid as well. It’s just parroting propaganda, while ignoring the mountains of information (in some cases literally officially published by the Kremlin, like Putin’s essay “On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians”) that Russian leadership doesn’t even consider Ukraine to be a real country and very much does want to annex it because it is “Russian”.

All search engines suffer from enshittification because the web at large does. Switching search engines won’t help escape it, Google’s results are getting worse because the internet as a whole is. Bing’s and DuckDuckGo’s results are just as bad. And unless someone comes up with a reliable way of filtering AI generated SEO crap from searches, it’s only going to get worse.

I’m going to have to disagree. It’s forced labour, no amount of pretty words changes that. It’s also not a “break” if you have to work, and considering that you’d be unskilled and probably physical labour with no (simple) way for you to quit if faced with abuse, it probably won’t even be under good conditions or compensated fairly.

Daggerfall Unity.

No, but does mean that Google now knows that you don’t speak Slovakian. It’s “just” the usual Google issues.

Lemmy doesn’t have a left-wing bias as much as it has a far-left and authoritarian bias. Though this heavily depends on instance. Continental European instances tend to be far more moderate than Anglo-dominated instances, probably because at least parts of continental Europe have actual experience with real socialism.

One individual action is. Ten thousand are not.

So what do you think Trump would do?

If I’d believe for a second that he might actually end up homeless I’d say “and making anyone homeless for any reason is a bad thing”. But I don’t. And it’s not empathy for him anyway, I just care about the principle of not throwing people into the streets.

That’s highly individual. I prefer people speaking in vaguely normal tones instead of low key yelling, and whispers actually being, you know, whispers. I have always had exceptionally good hearing though.
