Just had my first interaction with Meta Services last night. Thought I'd share what I learned.
  • They are probably talking about Vanced which was before ReVanced. Vanced got popular so Google killed it. Up popped ReVanced shortly later.

  • Tower of Fantasy releases on PS5 August 8 – what to expect in the open-world RPG
  • The game is pretty fun, played it on Android and PC. ToF is pretty generous in the amount of pulls you get, at least for me. It takes forever to get a pull in Genshin.

  • How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?
  • I work in a warehouse and take care of exotic animals on the side. I feel I have the basics down for tech but not enough to do IT or something. My family and friends contact me for tech help so I guess I know more than the average person. Even though I literally just Google everything, most of the time.

  • Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
  • I've been using the internet for over 24 years. I can tell you that the internet can survive without ads or paywalls. Ads and paywalls are a product of greed. Ads are way more efficient these days but many used to take up so much memory. I remember when AdBlock or whatever it was called came out. It made browsing the internet smoother.

  • [Texas Tribune] “We are dying”: Houston workers protest new state law removing water break requirements
  • We definitely went to two different school systems. I went to a school where one of the teachers told my brother he couldn't use the restroom so he had to use a bucket, in his emergency. He got detention for it. My mom with 10 kinds of pissed off.

  • In most parts of the USA most children are taught to ask for things such as water and bathroom breaks at school, up til senior year of highschool. When the kids do not listen they are reprimanded/punished. This leads to brainwashing. Some young adults never do break out of the habit of asking. This leads to situations of dehydration and death.

    It's straight up bizarre having a 25 year old man walk up to me(30F) and ask to use the restroom or get a drink of water. Granted I was also brainwashed til about 22. It dawned on me one day it was straight up dumb to ask for water or to use the restroom.

  • We had a good run, thank you everyone
  • I haven't been on Lemmy in a few days because I can't even login on their website. Broke down and downloaded an app through play store so I could login to comment. I was waiting for Boost for Lemmy, but I guess fate had other plans.

  • I logged in to Reddit today
  • Yep. This is the reason I left all my posts and comments up on Reddit. I can get over the fact Reddit is making money off what I posted if I am helping people in the future.

  • Reddit's API protest just got even more NSFW
  • For myself, the quality in posts has dropped significantly. I'm always challenging myself to learn, I also learn better with things that interest me. I've found since Boost for Reddit went down that not even old reddit is catching my attention. I feel bored. This is for popular or r/all. If I'm on my own homepage it's like Reddit never changed as I'm subbed to mostly all small subs.
