Ok, I’ll give you that one. Japan is a unique country in that regard.

That’s true in extreme circumstances but we’re no where near any threshold for having a lack talented people willing to work for a fair wage.

I can’t recall the exact timeframe but the world’s population has doubled in the last few decades. I’m not advocating for removing anyone but if we could slow down the making of new people that would benefit everyone.

Virtual Reality and related subs are pretty small/nonexistent here still.

I thought Flash was surprisingly good! Like I didn’t even want to see it because it’s DC but I laughed my ass off the whole movie. Perhaps I’m in the minority.

Exactly this. For now while lemmy me new my default is All. In some months when things are more established I’ll stick with my Subscribed communities. Things are still new right now.

Another cool feature is you can spoof your device’s name. This can allow you to install apps that daddy Google does not approve of for your device.
