I don't really follow content creators. YouTube ads are more annoying than tv and half the content feels like an ad.

I'm more into prestige tv shows. I just look at critics top lists for different years. Whatever looks interesting goes on jellyfin. Generally HBO is good or at least was.

It means you aren't waiting for shows to get renewed or see if they iron out the kinks. I don't bother with anything that hasn't been renewed unless it's getting ratings over 7.5 or critical acclaim, preferably both.

If I run out of new content, I go to old reliable a, like the west wing or ab fab or six feet under. I'm not a big fan of reality tv but the traitors, especially the UK one without celebrities scratched an itchy and I've binged them all. I think it will drop off in quality as people learn how the game is played successfully. Too quiet or too loud and you're out.

You mean like this: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/11/australian-with-us-working-visa-detained-insulted-deported

I get that, but even if by some miracle, no more damage occurred, the damage this far, reputationally, is not fixable by a change only.

It looks like china is ready for a trade was in a way that the US is not. China doesn't depend on a USA supply chain and their exports there don't make a huge portion of their GDP. A lot of American goods need china as a supply chain partner. So inflation will be a big problem in the foreseeable future.

America is not just fighting with its competitors, it's fighting with its partners. Without partners, it has limited leverage. If the USA wanted to place sanctions on anyone now, they would struggle. Another war, they won't find allies.

Europe is planning alternative consumer payment options. China wants to end dollar hegemony, as well. BRICS are all on board with that. America will find it hard to throw its weight around with less ability to punish or reward.

Great, they can use that to pay for any future healthcare needs. Under a USA system, that's houkd last a year.

Yes, but even if Trump was to do an about face to orrow and everything was above board, the damage to the dollar and to America's reputation is long lasting. Trust is hard earned easily broken.

You're missing the point. This anecdotal evidence is where it did happen and is verified by the media It's painting a patter of vis refusal for online criticism of Trump.

There is lots of anecdotal evidence of people who have been critical of trumps on social media being denied entry, including high profile cases.

Yes, but the data isn't being used to silence criticism, like in the USA. However, that just goes to show how important privacy laws are in principle, not just based on who's in power. Who's in power changes.

I think a large portion of lemmy is too focused on making lemmy popular. Fake engagement and posts that nobody cares about don’t create engagement. Instead, more focus on just enjoying lemmy would ironically lead to better posts and discussion. Likewise, people post the same articles to the same communities seeking engagement. It leads to dupilication which waters down the discussion, ironically, also leading to less engagement. I think federalised communities, as has been discussed would be a good solution. However, it strikes me that they don’t want to miss out on karma, for some reason. So, short term gain, for long term hassle of multiple posts. If some of the most prolific posters posted to the most relevant community and cross posted elsewhere, then maybe communities would coalesce more.

She should start calling him a coward before they start negotiation. He can't stand women talking crap about him. A woman of color, he'd have a canary.

I'm surprised they made 440m. However, investing in r+d is not unusual. This amount is not a huge investment for them based in overall revenue.
