Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?
  • I think allot of Banks have a ton of assets tied up in commercial real estate. This is the real reason they are pushing everyone to go back to work. A lot of powerful people will loss money if the commercial real estate market crashes.

    Do our phones listen to our conversations? The answer is complicated.
  • You don't have to even disable it, just turn off voice commands. You can still activate it by pushing a button. Personally Ive been using Bing chat over Google assistant for a few months now.

  • I think it was more that in the early days of the Nazi party they did accept socialists. It was more of a big tent party because they needed to attract members. Hitler was never a fan of socialism and as he gained power he purged the socialists from the party.

    How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?
  • Wastewater Operator. We have an older gentleman at my job who refuses to use computers at all. We still do everything with paper and pen. Nothing is digitized.

    Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
  • For now. The important thing is that there is an alternative place for people to go when Reddit does things they don't like. Everytime Reddit does something that angers their users this place will grow.

    I think I would take monarchy over whatever this corpo hellscape is. At least a monarch can be overthrown. How can you overthrow a multi-national corporation?
  • It would be far easier to start a populist movement that reigned in corporations. The problem with revolutions is you never know who's going to to end up on top at the end. Most likely the new regime will be just as bad as the old. I think what we actually need is more democracy. I like the idea of a democratic referendum that allows the people to force the government into action.

    Unclogging a bathroom sink without removing the P-Trap
  • Thrift is a professional grade drain cleaner a plumber recommended to me. It's powerful stuff so make sure you wear gloves and a mask. It cuts through everything.

    Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone?
  • I had a Nexus 10 they abandoned after two years. Made me never want to spend money on an android tablet again. Honestly I would probably switch to iOS if I could have ad blockers.

    What will Meta gain from fediversing?
  • Don't you think people will switch from threads to Mastodon? I think there are allot of people who would rather not have Meta's app installed on their phone.

    Am I able to personally block .threads on my .world account? I want nothing to do with meta.
  • Isn't threads a Twitter clone? Will it even effect Lemmy? For me personally I don't use Mastodon, but I might if threads is successful. I use Twitter to follow famous people I like. If famous people move to the fediverse because of threads that will only make sites like Mastodon better in my opinion.

    Reddit Refugees on Lemmy, how are you guys liking lemmy so far?
  • Yeah I think In a year or two this will be just as good as Reddit, maybe better. Personally I prefer Lemmy, it reminds me of Reddit before it gained mass appeal. The important thing is now there is a viable alternative to Reddit. Everytime Reddit does something controversial, this site will gain a wave of new users.
