  • TikTok Shop Sells Viral GPS Trackers Marketed to Stalkers

    Jump

  • I have just realized that in of 2020 TikTok was about to get banned in US by Trump administration and he even signed an executive order for the ban. But since he lost elections later that year, ban was reversed by Biden administration.

    THE FUCKING SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED IN REVERSE IN 2025 when Biden's admin ordered it to be banned in january and it was unbanned (postponed ban) 3 times with the last one lasting until September.

    I call extreme sus on this one. There are weird powers around tiktok that are/were important in info-war and elections in general.

  • Exactly. Once we are a mainstream page to visit, it will go down as fast as any other page like this before.

  • ‘South Park’ Skipping Another Week Amid Controversy, Record Ratings

    Jump

  • Up until covid, they always had an episode a week. They used to write, compose, voice and release it in less than 7 days.

  • I beg to disagree.

    The reason all these delusional posts getting even upvoted to begin with is due to many like-minded people are gathered together in the same sub. As an example, reddit's r/democrats and r/republicans. One is clearly more sane than another, yet try to say something in a wrong sub - get downvoted to oblivion. But if you spill your delusional shit in a r/republicans - upvotes galore and comments of praise.

    Facebook groups are the same shit. And so is Lemmy. One thing in hexbear that is allowed could/will be the reason you got a ban in .world. Up/Downvotes cant fix that.

    tl;dr Village idiots can join together to accumulate their own conspiracies in a big ass circlejerk, and social media has no power to stop it.

  • YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround

    Jump

  • I got a question in my head just now.

    DNS sinkhole doesnt help with youtube ads but UBO does. DNS doesn't help with twitch ads and neither UBO does. Why is that youtube doesn't do the same what twitch does?

    On a side note, my ads on twitch are basically "ad is in progress" screen and not an actual ad. And lately YT has couple of seconds with no video in the beginning as if it loads (1Gbit connection) but eventually loads up and plays with no interruptions after.

  • The amount of comments thinking that Lemmy is totally not like a typical social media is absurd.

    Guys, we only don't have major tracking of users here.That's it! Everything else is the fucking same shit you'd see on facebook. The moment Lemmy gets couple tens of millions of users, we gonna become 2nd facebook.

  • Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK

    Jump

  • Latest Spotify crackdowns on revanced apps and a very recent GrayJay plugin issues made me look into Spotify cracking scene. I found an app that works. But for how long?

  • What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?

  • You should check out Peter McConnell's (Composer for Grim Fandango OST) other works. You may find some bangers there.

  • OST ones:

    • Pizza tower
    • Jet Set Radio/Future
    • Doom 2016
    • Psychonauts 1 and 2
    • The Binding of Isaac Rebirth and DLC

    With licensed music:

  • Poll: Which abandoned Android phone features do you miss the most?

  • They still have it as a built-in feature. Had Moto Z, g 5g plus and now rocking g85. All of them have it. Too useful.

  • Ubisoft: Microtransactions make games more fun

    Jump

  • if it wasn’t fun for people, people wouldn’t be buying them

    I am not a psychology major or anything, but isnt it that microtransactions are designed in such a way that they hook players in not by being fun but by being a literal gambling? Or in case no lootboxes, FOMO? Like LoL once done with many skins stating "It is a one time possible to purchase, never comes back like ever!!!1!11" to later sell them once again.

    Back in a day you either customize game yourself by downloading mods and models, or you earn your fancy skins by being good at the game. Today it is just a purchase. There is no fun in cosmetics beside bragging about them. There might be fun in pay to win, but not for those who doesn't pay. Neither it is healthy fun.
