That’s when the malicious compliance kicks in. Start a new ticket with a picture of your monitor, with the entire screen taped off. Ask why you can’t find your mouse
YouTuber who ran a charity for something like 10 years, recently it came out that he kept all the money that was donated. What was supposed to happen is that he takes the donations, then donates that to another charity. When called out, his excuse was that he “forgot to donate the money.”
Not an answer, but I do want to point out that your question may be missing a crucial point. Primarily: There are different types of capitalism. When people mock or complain about the current economy, you might hear about “late stage capitalism.” That’s because that’s referring to the current type of capitalism that we’re operating under. And Bernie Sanders believes in capitalism, too. But his belief is in a different type of capitalism.
This is all to say, when people complain, it may not even be that they want to replace capitalism, but even shifting to a more friendly type of capitalism would significantly remove a lot of strain from workers. I don’t mean to imply that that’s what the people you’re referring to meant, but I think it is important to consider that criticism against capitalism does not necessarily mean a full shift away from capitalism
I’m personally not in favor of Mastodon posts, since the format (and therefore type of discussion that occurs there) is different than on Lemmy. That being said, my understanding is that many people would disagree with me, and I’m generally in favor of having options as opposed to not having options.
Strangely, the opposite for me. Recently (and I mean a couple months ago), I’ve been noticing that YouTube’s recommendation algorithm changed in some way. It’s now recommending me things that I’m not particularly interested in, or things that I would click away from more readily. I used to like educational channels (SciShow, PBS Spacetime, Deep Look, PBS Eons, etc.) and I’m noticing that these videos are almost never recommended to me anymore. I have to go to their channel to even see that they posted a video.
I think social media has the ability to make things impossible to ignore, things that previously people were able to ignore.
Things such as police brutality, mass shootings, for instance, probably were just as common back then as it is now. But now we’re paying attention to it. I think it’s the same thing here. People have always had a different public and personal life. It would be incredibly odd if someone didn’t. But social media is making people pay attention to the fact that there’s some people whose private lives are ugly, but who try to project a perfect public life anyways.
I think it’s a combination of low development cost (so a single update can bring in enough income to last at least several months to a year), and the fact that they target a particular audience which constantly has an influx of new players.
Minecraft is a good example - they primarily target the younger demographic, and as long as people are born, there will always be new young people who haven’t bought Minecraft yet. And every update will be talked about on media and on YouTube, and that’ll convince those new young people to buy Minecraft.
We see the opposite side of the same coin with Pokemon, where there will always be people willing to buy the new Pokemon game, even if it’s essentially just the same thing as the previous games. It’s not because the new game is good, it’s just because there’s always going to be children who want to experience Pokemon for the first time
Braid was one of my first games, and still one of my favorite puzzle games. I’m legitimately pretty hyped about this, even if it doesn’t really need a remake
The one advice I can give you is, women are closer to men than you may think. Whatever you find interesting, there’s someone out there who would think so too. Whatever disgusts you, probably disgusts women too. IMO, dating advice that includes phrases such as “as a man” are misleading, because they imply that women are fundamentally different and must be treated differently.
Treat them as you would a friend, rather than something to be won, and you’ll find that people will be more receptive. 25 years old is still plenty young
Social media owned by companies, by their nature, undergo enshittification. It may not be now, but it will happen sometime in the future.
If we make social media that is owned and controlled by the people, we can avoid enshittification
The Fediverse is an attempt to create social media owned by the people.
All the analogies about email and whatnot, or the comments trying to explain how federation works, they’re missing a big part of the question. They’re not technically wrong, but those answers are exactly what put me off the Fediverse initially. And I suspect those answer will put off other people, too. And it should be relatively clear why, if you think about it from newbies’ perspectives: the question that newbies are asking is what the Fediverse is. Trying to answer how the Fediverse works is avoiding the question entirely. You can’t explain the “how” to someone if they don’t even know what it is. It’s like explaining how to design a software to a caveman, without explaining what a software is.
My understanding is that fish are relatively high in omega-3 fatty acids. I believe they’re important in neuronal function and cardiovascular function. Regardless, the media took the 2 facts and conflated the two to say that eating fish = lots of omega-3 fatty acids = good neuronal health = become smart
You’ll find that the media does this quite a lot - they take reputable scientific research and extrapolate it so far outside its intended use case that the resulting news report is complete garbage
