Sometimes I wonder how it would feel like to be an ordinary citizen in the star trek universe. Every week you hear the weirdest stuff in the news. Oh, the enterprise crew literally found god and then killed him? Well okay then. Some cyborg zombies tried to eradicate us? Sure sure. Now we're at war with an empire of shape shifters from the other side of the galaxy? Whatever you say. It's only about 10% weirder than the real news we get in the present.

I'm not an expert but my instinct says you should never take any digital device over the chinese border. No matter in which direction.

What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me? in c/[email protected]

When you have enough personal info about a population you can engineer advertisement so effectively that you can convince that population of almost everything. See Brexit.

Does the American accent or British accent sound better? in c/[email protected]

This is just my very biased opinion but if somebody has a US-american accent I immediately respect them less lol. It's an instinct.

How to make the poll feature on social platforms not suck in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I understand what you mean. If we asked like 2% of all active users (which might be enough), you'd get a pop up on average once every 4 years, which is probably not enough to annoy anybody.

How to make the poll feature on social platforms not suck (kbin.social)
 

I just had an idea and would like to hear your opinions: I always have to roll my eyes when I see how useless the poll feature on social platforms is. It's just a gimmick. But what if we make it better?

What if there was a kbin magazine where everybody can ask questions and every month the five most upvoted ones are shown as a pop up to some random accounts on that kbin instance? That way we could get a representative answer for at least the whole instance.

I created an account on an alt-right social media platform with a burner email and fake IP address. Give me ideas of how to fuck with them (rule) in c/[email protected]

While I kind of understand the allure of messing with idiots, I think it's also a waste of time.
It's completely counterproductive to make angry people even more angry.

Ja, ich bin Europäer, aber mir ist auch klar, dass ich damit zu einer sehr kleinen Minderheit gehöre.
