“Won’t support Lemmy” is a bit strong, but we should probably de-federate lemmy.ml

Bold of you to assume I am American, did you not check the instance I am from ?

Yes, there are many lies about China, but don’t get stuck in second opinion syndrome. China is both worse and better than you know.

The fact the government lies about China, while China is still bad behind the scenes, can both be true. During the cold war, both sides accused the other of being evil, and both were right.

Don’t let anyone who puts a “communist” sticker on their own forehead fool you into supporting them.

China bad. US bad. Russia bad.

All three can be true at the same time. (And they are)

Skill is (almost) a linear function of time spent.

Want to get better at something ? Just do it more. Learning about it can increase the factor, but it won’t actually increase skill directly.

This is why I chose to get a Corsair Virtuoso, which has a removable microphone.

Idk about emoji, but other obscure unicode symbols would be very useful. You wouldn’t believe how often one needs the alchemical symbols for the 4 elements !

Summer was not meant for being productive.

I’ll subscribe, since it’s about the real kind of football (the one that’s played with your feet, and a ball. Not an egg, and your hands)

I’ve been trying to get into sports. Always enjoyed parricipating sports, never tried watching.

Not enough people for even slightly niche communities. Wanna talk about smash brothers ? 732 people, only 2 posts in the last month.

This is why people still use reddit on the side.

I hope they will atop doing that eventually…

Nope. “Content unavailable” no matter what I do.

Every video fails to play, the only solution I’ve been recommended SK far is to disable my VPN but I don’t want to for privacy reasons.

That seems like a good solution for some people, but personally I would like to keep Google Play off my device unless I’m actually forced yo install it.

If only NewPipe worked…

The most important thing about social media is the first word : it’s social.

This sounds like a technically impressive medium, but if it fails to get a healthy community (which means, not just 4chan bros) then it will die.

Turns out “free speech” on a platform controlled by one guy can only ever be a lie.

CloudFlare keeps blocking me, so I take their accomplishments with a grain of salt.

Their mitigation comes at the cost of legitimate users being blocked, despite correctly identifying the bicycles in 16 different captchas in a row…

I’m not going to disable my VPN, I’ll try again later to see if it’s fixed.

NewPipe simply does not work for me. Every video fails to play.

The best YouTube experience I’ve achieved so far is still using the official website with a ton of firefox addons.
