Aren't the devs of Lemmy Marxist leninist or something and .ml is one of their instances?

It might just be that, since BYD is serving such a large domestic market/population, that allows them to have cheaper cars? Something something, economies of scale. I'm no expert though.

Sigh...at least Apple is getting screwed over though. They've been impeding right to repair for a long time, perhaps their karmic debt is finally catching up to them.

I mean, you could probably solve this shit by restricting the types of phones used to dumb phones. Phones only capable of texting and calls. Perhaps some basic access to school websites and Wikipedia too. Everything else default blacklisted.

I mean, I don't even think it's a matter of privacy, and moreso a matter of spreading out the amount of influence that one person can have as a whole on a public platform. If it's more spread out, there is less direct control that billionaires and corpos will have on these platforms that have basically become very important in terms of public discourse and public opinion.

Dunno why you're being down voted so hard. Didn't Bluesky literally cede to Turkish demands of censorship or some shit?

I mean I thought thorium reactors were figured out already? The economics of it and lobbying by big oil was the problem. It ain't that surprising that China could make a thorium reactor though.

The hackers who took 4chan down come from an imageboard known as soyjak.party or "the sharty". They are unironically, in terms of politics, more far right, and in terms of culture, far worse than 4chan from what I've heard and seen from the website.

Bluesky has a lot of artists. Posting this video here: https://youtu.be/I4mdMMu-3fc

It'd be hilarious if egg imports into the US were blocked because of the global tariffs.

Bro, older cohort Gen-Z is around 27 years old man. Unless you are talking about Gen-Alpha.

Basically, although base intelligence/smartness perhaps has two parameters that make it? Effort and speed. Everyone can put in a bit more effort, but base speed may be baked in, unless one trains it, and max reachable base speed will depend from person to person. Hell if I know, we haven't really created a definitive definition for intelligence yet.

Edit Addendum: As for what can be considered dumb or smart? I agree, lack of effort can be considered "dumb". Though the word dumb is a bit broad. I guess we can say many people are, out of habit, "intellectually heedless"
