What in god’s green earth about limitting social media usage on a daily time-use basis implies anything about targetting marginalized groups? Things that are detrimental to mental health, like excessive social media consumption, aren’t magically less-so for marginalized groups.
If anything, such media is a distraction and pacifier of sorts.
If you read what I wrote, open source social media is also easier to consume and interact with in the manner I described. Usenet, e-mail, IRC, forums, even private messaging and group-chats are both healthier to interact with and less demanding of our time than “services” that bury the content we want to see like facebook and the rest.
Every single one is still around and in use by the same people who built the internet and others who get more done for themselves and open-source projects than you or I or most of us on Lemmy and the more modern de-federated schemes.
Even if they somehow limit time spent on forums, mastodon, whatever, content can be saved for later consumption, and responses composed for later posting. Instant access to the latest tweet or tiktok isn’t helping anyone but advertisers.
Limitting time is nothing like limitting speech. If I want to write a lengthy post, I can write it off-line, copy-and-paste without wasting quota time or whatever. Same goes for reading lengthy content; Copy/Paste(or print2pdf) and save for later.
Missing the latest short-form content garbage would be a boon for those who otherwise insist on wasting their time, mental and emotional energy like so.
Might as well call peak usage rates for electricity “fashy shit”. Excessive social media usage helps no-one. In fact its the opposite, and particularly so for marginalized groups.
Worst thing about this is it stops at “non-adults”, and puts the burden in individual services(which would be un-workable, yes) rather than ISPs(which have the means). God forbid we do anything to help society as a whole.
Up-shot: The sooner it comes for minorities, the sooner it comes for all of us worthless fleshbags.

Basically, if the app developers bother to maintain their own repository, there is no reason for other f-droid repositories to waste storage and bandwidth on duplicating them and constantly checking to be sure its the latest versions of those apps that have been copied. This is a feature, not a bug, in systems like f-droid.
That said, f-droid could stand to add a directory for known-good repositories, or listings for apps that pull from such repositories without requiring you or I to manually type in a url or scan a QR code, but end of the day, its free softwaree maintained by volunteers.
Many apps on Linux work the same way; However, in my experience, once you’ve downloaded and installed an application’s .deb, tar.gz, whatever, it will offer to add its repositories to your package manager’s sources, whereas on Android, once you install an .apk, it stays that version until you install a newer version manually or let the Play store or whatever over-write it.
They said “pretty sure”, not certain. Statistically, they were right, until routers started shipping with “secured” wifi settings by default. Nowadays, its the reverse.
Weird how my first thought was DOUBT, then I looked at the pic with the question on my mind…
For the prequels, you want the Anti-cheese Fan-edits.
You added a “y” at the begging of the url which screws-up the link, but thanks. My own search had only turned up stale forum garbage. Figured I was out-of-date.
I’ve watched/have the Anti-cheese Edits of the Prequels I-III, and the De-Specialized Edits of Episodes IV-VI, and truly enjoyed both.
I don’t recall seeing 4k versions of either of these available yet, nor am I aware of suitable source re-leases that could be used to make such. Best of luck to you.
Laziness gets a bad rap, stupidly bad when you look at how work-obsessed many 1st-world countries are, and the effects that has on people’s health, empathy, and the ability to leave well-enough alone.
No mention of the estimated date-range of his passing. quality

I never thought I would say this, but its time to stop using that picture of the girl sitting on an arcade game for a while. It’s played out, and I’m sure there’s other art that would do.
Seems like a better fit for lemmynsfw.com
No it fucken doesn’t.
The internet was better before ignorant takes like yours showed up. Facebook, tik-tok, and the like invented nothing that wasn’t done better previously. Are you really so addicted to all this Web 2.0 non-sense? Of course you are. Get help.
