If it's one of my favourite artists; I'd prefer a vinyl. If it's not; it's easy finding flacs online both legally (bandcamp/iTunes) and illegally (piracy); so I'd prefer a different merchandise even if I wanted their merch.
Comparing Turkey, a nation that aims to defend its citizens from terrorism related attacks to Israel; a nation that kills civilians and bombs hospitals just to possibly kill some targets is the worst comparison I've ever seen.
That's a solid one too.
If you dislike an instance, you are free to make an account somewhere else and block that instance. There's nothing inherently bad with lemmy.ml; but check instance rules to see if you'd fit in it anyways.
Hunger Games works in quite a dystopian setting that politicians in US wouldn't allow; so I can see Trump being impeached immediately after this suggestion.
However, assuming that this isn't implemented as a life-in stakes Battle Royale and instead as a sports event improved with Augmented Reality (all weapons are simulated, no real deaths); it could be a fun event to watch. I could see myself betting on athletic people.
Tankie community, think of where all ChapoTrapHouse users migrated when Reddit banned them. These guys post pro communist stuff way too much; and some people don't like to get bombarded with that.
There is literally no evidence in this article to back that up.
Language tags exist in post format, so unless it's marked improperly it wouldn't effect me any way; why not?
My personal opinion is that any app getting a similar dominance to WeChat worldwide is a scary as fuck thing, and should not ever happen.
However, from a developer's perspective; ease of access to development tools is crucial to reach that kind of adoption to the point where other companies are writing software to work with your platform. Telegram provides lots of these things pretty well, and it wouldn't surprise me for them to become a superapp in the future, as opposed to X where it's pretty much impossible.
Though worldwide laws and regulations are quite a hard hurdle for any app to beat in the first place. We're currently seeing the example of "even one of the richest blokes in the world could pour all their money to make such a dominant app and it wouldnt work" after all.
If you want low latency comparable to wired keyboards, it's impossible.
