I think some of it is liberal media is more artsy and creative, which is more difficult to just pump out. Creation if a lot more difficult than destruction.

Can anyone explain to me what makes TikTok and now this RedNote so much better than the other short form options (YT, Insta... others) that people think learning a completely different and unfamiliar language is not only viable, but the best option?

I want to learn another language for travel purposes, which to me makes sense. I've never had the itch to learn one so I could use a social media platform.

Joke's on him. I quit before it was Meta.

I think that exactly what they are saying, but it misses the whole point. Yes, either protections would be great to prevent against this and no it's not illegal, but it's heinous and TikTok should be lambasted. The poster is essentially victim blaming because of their assumed jobs, pay, and because their misfortune is not illegal. It's just a really bad take, even if it's not technically wrong.

You're not doing your home country any favors. Your inability to understand the situation is astounding really. Where are you from that made you so damn smart?

I agree up to the point that someone could use Facebook for the parties and stuff, and then not use any of the main page stuff. I have Messenger because that's the prime option for those I know, but I don't use it for anything but messaging and don't have a Facebook.

I will give this a good look. Thanks for the detailed response. I'm working on degoogling, but some products I'm not willing to move on from because the quality is just better, so I'm happy to have something to look into here.

Can you give me an alternative that you truely think is better than google maps, not just alternative, something that is objectively better?

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

If they allowed users to select a default, almost everyone would select Google maps and get a better experience. By not giving the user a choice everyone loses, because Google maps is still going to be the top option. I'm surprised that this functionality either doesn't exist already or isn't allowed, because capitalism.

It may be. I really don't know much other than Atmos sounds amazing.

Googles propensity to create and destroy tech at alarming rate aside, what is there to be gained in immersive audio? Atmos sounds borderline real in a good setup. What are the current limitations for high end HT audio that this is looking to improve upon?

Edit: so I read it, and it sounds like this is a push for an open source audio standard. If that's the case, then as much fun as dunking on Samsung and Google is, I support the endeavor, at least in theory.
