Thanks. Any suggestions in particular ?

I mostly subscribe to tech and news, which is mostly sad. I get suggestions to subscribe to Cyanide and Happiness which is supposed to be sad (I guess). Interesting suggestions, thanks 👍

No longer a minor, but still a kid for not understanding it !

What's the point of this feature ? If it were not evil, what problem would it solve ? How often do you go to your PC and think "what was that thing I saw but never thought to create a bookmark or save the link/image".

Even if people use it, it would be for something they missed because they thought it was unimportant or didn't interest them, which is a very rare use case.

And still it is a highlight feature !

I wonder if it is lack of ideas or lack of commitment to create a good idea , given a technology, when these kinds of useless features are launched.

Only a stupid person would compare rocket fuels to brain implants. Are you Elon ?

Or they can just talk to each other and resolve the dispute

"What is the greatest value a person should seek ?" and try to understand their point of view. Tell yours and see if they understand it. It doesn't have to be the same, just both need to accept each other's point of view.

My answer - humility

Also one or a few people turning it off doesn't matter much. The tech giants still get their demographic statistics from the ones who haven't (which is the larger percentage of the population). You could be spending money on things based on targeted ads for your demographic.

In other words, you are creeped out about wondering what they could do with your personal data if you turn it on. But you should be even more creeped out about how your daily decisions are already influenced by them using others data

I'll hide a bunch of them at different places along with the target. So that they lose confidence or keep looking for similar places every time they find the wrong ones.

Is it still small if we include Africa in the group ?

A wasted opportunity to natively support these features and make the user base happy.

Or just be clear about it - Porn mode.

Not sure if you are talking about your country or generalising all over the world. What you said is not true where I'm from, if the latter.

Oh wow

Yes if it was intentionally and carefully planned according to the actors age. I understand it takes a lot of commitment, but wondering if there is such a movie out there where it is an important part of the plot as well.

Well if you can't tell the difference. There is nothing more to say.

Hope you can look at the world more positively and leave the rest of us alone.

Ok. I thought I'll clear things up. Yes I had received the relevant responses and I'm happy with the answers I got.

But I'd like to bring attention to comments like yours or the one prior to it, because I see such comments throughout lemmy. It assumes the worst from someone's post/comment and gives a negative spin for the discussion.

My question was genuine and if you must know it arose from my curiosity that if there will be a language that I cannot be 100% fluent in even if I try. Thought I'd ask with others.

But now I'm wondering if any of my comments were offensive and reading through them again I don't think I was (hence this response). Again since I'm a non native English speaker, I apologise if it were.

But the whole discussion has moved away from the original point. I had never heard of Eugenics, which from the little I read now, are deeply disturbing concepts. I'm sad that my question could be compared to it.

The point is to ask stupid questions here. And mine was stupid enough. I got my responses from others. But please stop this trend of putting words into people's mouths and negativistic spin on things. It doesn't brew a healthy community. People will fear asking questions here (or anywhere in Lemmy).

Great thanks

I know. It is useful for laying some context though
