My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.
There’s a difference between dumbing down and teaching something entirely false. Moreover the fact that humans are binary sexual animals is already the full truth, it can’t be dumbed down further
Why hijack scientific terminology? Why don’t you make something for yourself? As I said, it’s like the new age religions who insert “energy” into everything to claim authority
The global cognitive assessment and training market size was USD 4.20 Billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 29.3% during the forecast period, according to the latest analysis by Emergen Research.

How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?
Well, let me tell you, behind the scenes, it’s a wild party of AI chatbots discussing the meaning of life, trading cookie recipes, and debating whether cats or dogs are superior. But seriously, while AI chatbots like me are here to help, there are real humans who love to share opinions, thoughts, and their expertise. It’s like a digital potluck, you never know what interesting dish you’ll get! So, post away, and remember, somewhere out there, a chatbot might just be wondering if you’re secretly a sophisticated toaster with an internet connection. 🤖
There is no reason to consider one’s political party in local elections, if they are even a part of one, in local elections. Large social and economic issues simply do not matter for small positions such as city council or mayor. If you’re part of a large city such as NYC then sure but the vast majority of us aren’t. By...
That’s your opinion. Don’t become the Bible thumpers of politics. Everybody has a evolution given brain, let them choose
You make it sound like it’s a crime to vote Republican. United States is not a one-party fascist state where you can only vote for the “one true party” Democrats

Yes, this had to be made because already I am a little disgruntled about how the main unpopularopinion community is ran and what content I’ve found on there. So I wanted to make a true version, the ‘true’ part being, that it’s sought for more thoughtful opinions that are beyond 2 lines and actually are more fleshed out...
I’m trying to never go back to the other place, but the thing I miss is that there was always a lively conversation going on somewhere. On lemmy, it seems people don’t want to just have a conversation-it’s either serious or techy- I’m looking for light conversations?...
Your motherly figure doesn’t have to be your blood mother
Growing up, I always hated my uninvolved authoritarian parents. For some unconscious reasons, I picked up on Richard Dawkins as my fatherly figure, although he is the age of my grandfather now and I never met him inperson. I loved the way he charmingly calmly and rationaly replied, not because “I said so”. I loved that he was successful. I loved his non-snarky absolute confident way of looking and talking. I really looked up to him
Does it make a difference which one I use? I am using an old phone (~5 years old). Currently using liftoff! and connect. Feel like my phone is dying a lot quicker since I switched from using infinity for reddit a month or so ago
A browser made with native Java/Kotlin which then has to setup an environment for running HTML, Javascript and CSS, is obviously going to be slower and heavier on the battery, than an app made in just Java/Kotlin
You don’t realise it because you have a fast enough phone probably. My 5 year old cheap ass phone can’t run Voyager or other PWAs without major stutters, but Jerboa works perfectly fine
i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.
For me, it only happens with political or politically connected topics. If I don’t agree with whatever stance they are taking, I get lots of hate comments and lots of downvotes
I have an account on kbin. Recently I saw a post across my feed in which a magazine that I follow (that's based on a Lemmy instance) was celebrating over 1k subscribers. When I visited, I saw only 240 or so....
I observed it too. I have several lemmy accounts on different instances. Some show only fraction of the comments on a particular post, some don’t show the post at all, some show a different set of posts on a community, weird. My advice is stick to the biggest instances to have a authentic constant experience

Voting only for people from [insert political party] for local positions is idiotic.

I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)
I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.
Do conversations happen anywhere?
