Yes, because I won’t be using their distribution.

fuck the authority, chaining down anything digital because the law is far behind the relative breakneck speed of technological progress.

I agree, and neither do I have all the answers. It is worth exploring, I’m just pessimistic most of the time.

Broad? Is youtube not social? Facebook? Tik-tok? Forums like reddit or lemmy, where people communicate directly, abiding by social norms and etiquette?

The internet and it’s myriads of networks is all information relayed globally via copper, fibre and radio waves. Never did I say that the internet itself is a social network.

55% of any message is conveyed through nonverbal elements (facial expressions, gestures, posture, etc).

Crazy how social media is seen as this thing that we somehow have a beneficial relationship with in such a short period of time. Impossible. The brain hasn’t changed much in the past thousands of years.

excellent take, I never thought of regulation on something digital like an algorithm (concerning social media) to be, I guess, possible when some government officials barely understand what an IP address is.

But that’s the thing, where’s the motivation for this board of experts to exist coming from? There is already plenty of empirical evidence to support the claims of the harms of social media, but in spite of this, change is glacial.

That is why I just generalize and say that social media is the problem, because most people won’t care to hear anything deeper. They are already addicted, and don’t care for a cure.

FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

It’s so bonkers how most of the older generations agree that being on the internet cannot make you social, yet became the default method to communicate.

Ban it for everyone? I mean, lemmy itself is a social network platform, if you want it to be. But I know what you mean: social media being the most used platforms, Google, Facebook, Tik-Tok, etc . . . And for that, yeah, I do agree with a full ban. We need a cultural reset, where we aren’t being fed sensationalist bullshit and pure brainrot as entertainment via an algorithm trained on our insufficient capacity to regulate our attention.

I never really understood the problem with banking apps, can’t people just use the website instead? At least with banks I’ve used, most daily tasks are possible to do online.

Literally why I’m here. Some bullshit in their bot detection flagged me as a bot, and disabled my account, that I had for 7 years.

I find myself playing more and more graphically simple games, like schedule 1, crosscode, jackbox, etc. . . And there are many others. I was worried that my pc would be too weak for gaming, but man, there are so many fun games that dont need photorealistic graphics to run. Even NFS 2015 looks great, and isnt hard to run.

I agree, this is not going to be the final straw for most developers, but I, and others, will never use android again after this.

I moved away from Microsoft because I don’t need a digital overseer policing my usage of the system. Android is moving in that direction, and so will I move, towards freedom.

when that happens, I’ll build my own ISO with that part stripped out, or just move away from systemd

None of the id fields in the systemd db are required to be filled. This is useless. Simply don’t put any personal info in, and bam, you’re already liberated, from laws that aren’t even in effect yet!

I mean, they must comply or face fines, whereas users can modify things however they please. I am ready to leave google, discord and twitter, so for users like me who won’t be on platforms that require age verification, I’d have no qualms about modding my OS to remove/disable age verification.

DoB recording, and ID age verification, are two different things though.

I mean, nobody turns on ray tracing to reduce a games energy demands.

I got a 2nd hand x220 years ago, and it refuses to die. Running cachyOS currently.

My next laptop will certainly be a thinkpad.

Shit i may need to delete my google account before Iran does it for me!
