It's imaginary internet points mate, don't take them personally. Consider hiding the votes altogether if they bother you (can be done in the web UI's settings).
No, as that would be illegal in many situations in my country. I also don't want cameras pointed at me constantly, so I don't do that to other people either.
I'm surprised you see a ton of that on lemmy.world, always found that instance rather tame and moderate, at least by lemmy standards. Certainly compared to Hexbear, ml and Lemmygrad. Are you sure those weren't federated posts from those instances? Anyway, lemm.ee is pretty neutral, lemmy.dbzer0.com leans more anarchist. But you could also just stay on .world and subscribe to communities that align with your views on whatever instance. Unless you have an issue with the moderation on .world specifically, it doesn't really matter.
Maybe look into being self-employed. There should be some opportunities there for a computer engineer. Working remotely for a company in a different area or even country might also be an option, depending on whether that's legally possible in Cambodia.
Depends. I almost always buy clothes and shoes in actual stores, as shopping for them online is a wasteful hassle. There are also some shops that I enjoy visiting, like second-hand stores or Asian supermarkets, where it's interesting to just browse and buy interesting things I wasn't specifically looking for.
On the other hand, I always buy stuff like electronics online. Electronics stores are more expensive and have a way smaller selection, so I don't bother with them. Generally if I'm looking for something specific, buying it online is just more convenient.
I'd be surprised if any of them didn't catch it.
As an Android-smartphone user with an iPad, agreed. Typing and any text operations on iOS are terrible.
People remember, it's more that some people hope that Rockstar will stop their bullshit eventually. PC gaming is in a very different place than it was when GTA V released.
You're posting this on lemmy.ml. Think about that for a second.
Considering the majority of Americans are against teaching Arabic numerals, I guess they should do their calculations using Roman numerals or something.
Usenet is a network communication system developed in the early 1980s. Way older than Lemmy, older than even the world wide web.
Browsing various art platforms, when I see a user where I'm not entirely sure if their art is AI (usually I think I can tell immediately though), I check how old their profile is. If it's older than 2024, I check how their art from before that year looks. If there hasn't been a sudden and radical shift in style and skill, I consider the art human-made. Otherwise, likely AI.
That method might be a tad unfair to artists who are only starting out now, but I don't know of any better way.
