What kind of trash tier journalism is this. Genocide is a real, serious issue. You can't just call something a genocide metaphorically, that's incredibly disrespectful.

I remember using ChaCha. Good times
I'm glad that the government is trying to address the issue of social media, but obviously adding warnings isn't going to do anything.
I think the only way to actually solve the problem would be to regulate the recommendation algorithms to make them less addictive and less harmful.
I don't know much about GTA, but I have a hard time imagining GTA6 being anything less than a gigantic success. It doesn't need to be a massive improvement over GTA5, it just needs to be a noticeable upgrade. The only way I can see it failing is if they get too greedy with their live service model, but even then it's still probably going to sell like 40 million copies in its first year.
Apple could easily do the bare minimum to keep regulators at bay while still keeping the experience as shitty as possible so that Android will continue to look bad. For example they could refuse to implement reactions or typing indicators, or they could even deliberately compress videos. I'm expecting the worst until we see otherwise.
It's cool to see someone making a product like this. I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to use phones more mindfully, and I had an idea for a concept very similar to this. So it's cool to see that other people are on the same wavelength as me.
It would be cooler if the brick was activated by NFC instead of scanning it though. But maybe that's an improvement they can make in a future version.
I just don't like that Multiversus matches you against bots disguised as human players. Instant deal breaker for me.
Wtf is that thing next to Shadow
This article doesn't make any sense. A project's "success" can't really be measured in any objective way like the article is implying. Even saying that a project is "on time" is a vague statement depending on the situation, and it's not a good way to measure the quality of the end result or the efficiency of the development team.
I think this will only strengthen his core supporters because they'll view him as a martyr. It might push away some people on the fence. But I think the martyrdom angle and the increased media spotlight could pull some people back in. Personally I think it probably won't make a difference overall. All publicity is good publicity.
Agreed. Also this law can't even be enforced. Unless they're just passing this law so that abused influencer children will have legal grounds to sue their parents. But we should be passing laws to prevent the abuse in the first place.

The problem: when a new user who is unfamiliar with the fediverse visits join-lemmy.org, they will likely be turned off when they see how few users are on each server. This is because many people will assume that having a low number of users on your server means that you'll have a low number of users to interact with. (This is what I assumed when I first discovered Lemmy.)
The solution: instead of showing the number of users on each server, we should instead show information that feels more intuitive to new users and doesn't mislead people into assuming the user count is more important than it actually is.
I think it would be a good idea to show the date that the server was founded, and show the server's network traffic in terms of Low/Moderate/High. I think this would make the prospect of joining a server much more appealing to new members, and it would also help them understand that it's actually a good thing to join a server with fewer users, not a bad thing.
Here's my quick mockup of what it could look like. (I made up random dates but you get the idea):
Interesting, I didn't know there were so many assassination attempts in the past.
