good luck convincing communists to give back what is not theirs 😂
but really, lemmy is not good for this. your comment exists in multiple physical copies on every instance from which someone interacted with the thread. it is prime example of once it is out there, it is out there forever…
we are talking about cheap home dsl routers here. i think that extent of the damage here is that someone has to revert to offline porn.
which would be bad for the world if people in the competing nations didn’t have internet access
these people would find out that there is such thing as fm radio. and that lot of their phones is capable of receiving it.

If you are a troll, well done. If you are really that dellusional, please get help.
Didn’t happen.
do some red circles and arrows help?
Also didn’t happen.
Why are you asking me?
because you are the one who started it. people usually contribute information into public discussion with hope it will be useful to other readers.
I’m not the one accusing others of “nOt rEaDiNg dA tHrEaD bEfOrE u AsKeD a qUeStOn”.
no, you are the one AsKIng rHETOrIcal qUEsTioN 🤣
No one has actually provided an on-topic reply to it yet.
you were pointed to the fact that your questions were already answered and you can easily read these answers. that is as on topic as it can get.
you chose weird hill to die on.
Your “rhetorical question” and objections you raised were already answered in this thread before you raised them.
You might have found out if you bothered to read the discussion before sharing your opinion.
Social media has a strict definition social media didn’t come about until after the advent of facebook so yes, by definition it excludes anything before then.
of course, sweetie. and just out of curiosity, what strict definition from some respectable authority other than you are you working with? 😂
social media, n. Websites and applications which enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.
social media, noun : forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos)
long story short, social media is more than facebook.
social media didn’t come about until after the advent of facebook so yes, by definition it excludes anything before then. Forum software existed for decades at that point.
yes, they did. decades before facebook. you just said that. what you probably wanted to say is that the term didn’t come out until… well here is the news for you. the term usually comes after the phenomenon it is describing, not the other way around. it doesn’t work like “hey guys, i have cool term - social media - now we just have to invent some” 🤣
anyone’s social media definition, except it seems like you
nice projection there. have fun.
Social media has always excluded forum like sites. Social media has a strict definition
social media has never excluded anything. it wouldn’t even be possible, and that is because there is no supreme authority that could issue some strict definition that would be legally binding for everyone 😆
yeah, no.
the person who wrote “look at me, i am so cool, i am not using social networks” on a social network didn’t do that because they would be confused by new technology that didn’t exist generation ago, they did that because it worked for narrative they tried to present. and unfortunately it is more and more common and it is not a problem related to technology, just look at any political discussion.
so while what you said is true, it is not very relevant to the discussed problem.
RSS allows you to subscribe on topic you actually like or want and ignore other stuff.
subscription on lemmy allows you the exact same thing. i don’t see how scrolling through your rss reader should be any different from scrolling through the lemmy app.
i am afraid that consensus among general population increasingly is “words mean exactly what you want them to mean at any given moment”. welcome to post-factual age.
core bussines for google is harvesting your data and sell them, having a mail is just one of neccesary tools to achieve that goal ;)
if anything, my advice in such situation would be get your own domain. after that, if you decide to host it on google (i would not recommend it, but it is your life) you are no longer their prisoner, because you can get up and leave at any time.
Gmail is a great option
after you spend two paragraphs explaining how it is inconvinient to depend on someone who can change anything at their will, your conclusion is to move to google? 🤣
i am not a boomer and i am also pissed when firefox upgrade decides to unilaterally change the installed theme to something that looks like shit and i can’t find the old one. so i kinda do understand aunty ethel.
Lemmy not handling errors is just another Thursday…
Hanlon’s razor says you shouldn’t.
yeah, but that applies to a problem where you don’t have any additional information. if you do have background information of any kind, you would be wise to take them into account.
All right, we got a razor fight!
my razor is ready, bring it on! 😆
in my experience - not very well. i have received answer to deleted comment more than once.
