What a depressing story

Smart Monitor is the same as a Smart TV, not surprised

Sorry but this is wildly oversimplified. I walk and take an e-scooter almost exclusively and couldn’t possibly hope to gather all the information about my city happenings.

Proposed plans by my councillors are often not posted on posters or billboard on my street, and the ones that are may not give me sufficient detail.

And aside from politics, cafe’s a 60min+ walk away are never going to be advertising their events on my street lol.

Also yes of course far more people should go to council meeting in-person, but often work or other responsibilities can get in the way.

You realize you’re shaming people on Lemmy, the people who clearly already support a more privacy centric and less profit-driven approach to social media.

We don’t live in a Utopia where all 7 billion people have already followed suit, and shaming won’t help. Providing a welcoming community will.

lol what a silly statement.

I like being up to date on what my city councillors are doing, events my local cafes host, local art exhibits, etc. Things that have tangible benefits to my community.

If you can convince them all to share that content on Mastodon be my guest :)

Reddit has communities without active alternatives here 🤷

I have switched to using a WPA version with Adblock

For staying up to date on my local shops and events, Facebook is just the easiest and more reliable option.

Not sure we should be shaming people about what social media they use lol

I’m in Canada, this would mostly be free

Isn’t it really expensive in a lot of places?

Yea sadly the kid was an aggressor here

But the cops should be using tazers or something non-lethal to deal with this kinda altercation

In what way are they better for the environment? I’m confused

Can someone with more knowledge than me explain how this might differ from Canada’s system

Controversial thought maybe, but I indeed have many friends who should and could afford to save, and choose not to.

None of these friends are wealthy or have high salary’s, they’re just bad with money

Not quite that expensive but, my LTT Water bottle is super nice tbh, no regrets

It’s not really about analyzing someone’s pay, just choosing a place that hires employees, not contractors

Yea DoorDash and the like are inherently reliant on tipping. If you don’t like tipping in general then fair enough, just order somewhere that pays minimum wage+ (aka not doordash)

I’m not sure id just hire some random guy without some middleman providing me some kind of safe guard for being scammed

As a Windows user, I can’t relate lol I don’t have this happen to me

It’s fast, supports sending large uncompressed files, has fun stickers and great UI

It’s a great messenger really, just not E2E encrypted. I’d happily use Signal too but most people don’t care about the E2E encryption advantage and prefer Tele

I use it for y’know, messaging
