ME was a king compared to anything microshit makes these days

no it isn’t

in this case reddittors made it up. so, yeah. very reliable

unfortunately can’t jet across the country regularly, as much as i might wish. and sometimes calls happen over (guess what) fb messenger. not everything is a conversation, but meta products cover a lot of ground beyond status updates at this point.

my grandma is still alive, some other family as well. with AI voice cloning and things i just foresee a lot of negative possibilities. maybe in another decade nobody i know would be on those places as well, hopefully there is some alternative for keeping up with family and old colleagues etc.

yeah that is definitely part of the appeal!

another part is that the self selected crowd is a bit… cooler

i worry about (future, AI enhanced) impersonation attempts so I just keep it secure and don’t post anything.

i tried to avoid it and deny it forever but facebook marketplace has really destroyed craigslist. so lame

i deployed a Lemmy instance to use… not sure if there’s anything better

paper profits

when you buy from yourself instead of from a different market participant that is considered wash trading and it is fraud

but the article is about exploding batteries, no?
