Yeah I’ve never seen insta used for group chats, but it is a commonly used app so I see their reasoning of “let’s just use the app that almost all of us already have set up”

Normal people don’t care that much about privacy for a group chat between their room mates. They’re not and they shouldn’t have to go out of their way to fulfill your request for a privacy based platform for a single group chat.

lol cope and be normal I guess? I understand insta isn’t great with privacy but it’s a group chat for your room mates. Make a burner account instead of forcing all of them to download some app they’ve never heard of for one group chat with people they are forced to be acquaintances with.

They’re likely all thinking you’re the odd man out because you’re making a fuss over a group chat.

Linux people will never admit that it’s like that though. I have a few friends on Linux and when we all boot a game to play, the windows users like me sit in the lobby waiting for my friends to trouble shoot why battlefield 1 isn’t launching on Linux, then they give up and just boot into windows and magically the game starts.

Let’s just agree to both stay home voting day instead wasting both of our time just to cancel eachother out.

I’ll admit I don’t know much about European politics, but from a foreign view it’s scary. I’ve always seen the far right in American politics it’s more or less the status quo, but seeing the far right rise in modern Europe is shocking to me. Most of this is informed by what I’ve seen in the news about what’s been going on in Italy though.

Honestly a comforting read as someone who isn’t a huge Biden fan. Things are improving! As a person in their early 20’s it’s felt like the world fell apart right as I was entering the work force, nothing has been affordable and crime has been a major worry. Seeing that crime is down and we’re likely going to avoid a worse recession is like having a weight off my shoulders.

Keep it up Biden administration.

Possibly. I did blue collar work for years after university and became more left leaning.

They’ll grow out of it when they enter the job market. I was conservative in high school too until I moved out of mom and dads and realized that our society has created nothing worth conserving for anyone under the age of 50. Nothing will make you radical like realizing you will likely never be able afford a home and children.

I feel so dumb. Does it say that in their website? When I went to their webpage there was a big underlines heading that said “no emulation”

Shame it doesn’t emulate honestly. It looks incredible but I don’t have physical carts.

I mean i took a programming class and damn near failed it my first semester of college so hopefully that doesn’t disqualify me. I work in insurance for now.

I just switched over because Apollo was my favorite time killer, and I can’t stand the Reddit mobile app.

Gonna have to downvote until you provide a source. As someone from Utah I’d be interested to read a fact checked article or even see the documents referring to this.

The United States is the wealthiest country in the history of the world and yet somehow manages to have more people doing slave labor (incarcerations for minor nonviolent crimes), more children starving, more violent crime, and more homelessness than almost any other modernized western nation. That’s not the sign of a system that works, and it doesn’t work because despite being wealthy as a group, individually Americans are divided into haves and have nots. Those that have HAVE EVERYTHING and do ANYTHING to maintain the status quo by tricking a lot of the have nots, statistically have nots like you, into believing this is the natural order of the world.

You are not a serf, you are not a slave, you are a human being deserving of a reasonable quality of life and so are the other 99% of Americans that are deprived of a respectful life because 1% of the people suck away wealth and vitality like vampires.

Is it illegal to burn bibles, Torahs, and other religious texts? If not I don’t see why any one religious belief should get a pass.

No because they aren’t enemies of western civilization.

Yeah well when you let 10 people have all the money and resources that tends to happen.

I am 100%. Sadly i don’t think most Reddit users will until lemmy becomes easier to use and gets a functioning IOS app.
