I've watched an 18 minute video of an Indian scammer talking to an answering machine randomly repeating one of like 10 pre-recorded voice lines. This one is most likely much better and will steal hours of their time.

Also for a lot of people, their social circle is partly there.

I get that, but at this point I'd actively try to get them to use a different site/app. I managed to move large parts of my friend group and my whole family to Signal. I'm now trying to get some to transition from Discord to Matrix, though moving there has definitely been not as smooth.

It should be much easier with Twitter, there are a bunch of very similar and usable alternatives. You just have to put in some work and convince people with solid arguments and support.

There are a lot of leftists still "fighting the good fight" on Xitter, even if the platform is pitted against them and all they do is drive engagement to it. I never understood why some people can't bring themselves to leave. I left reddit for much less.

The whole thing reads like the ramblings of someone with paranoid schizophrenia tbh...

Nope, Lemmy is just the software after all. It would be up to the individual instances to set up some kind of TOS or age verification.

I've never even used AOL mail and I still know exactly what the notification sounds like.

Regulations on fossil fuels have become very strict in Europe and any manufacturer wanting to sell there is going to maximize aerodynamics. Not to mention the increased range for electric cars. Most people still view cars as utilities, they care more about how far it can go on one charge instead of cool angular designs.

I've tried a number of fitgirl ones and had only around a 50% success rate with them.

Modern cars are designed in wind tunnels. We'll never get the cool designs back.

A lot of repack installers won't work in Linux, not even with proton. Use the original scene release instead if you can.

It's too heavy to ever get replaced. It'll still be there after the house is long gone.

The problem is not that the deer was hit, a human driver may have done so as well. The actual issue is that the car didn't do anything to avoid hitting it. It didn't even register that the deer was there and, what's even worse, that there was an accident. It just continued on as if nothing happened.
