There are some instances where Reddit is still a great source of information just due to the sheer size of the community. But there’s a lot more shit to wade through after the exodus a couple years back. I haven’t signed back in for years.

43·2 years agoWhile China is considered part of the global south, its economy is so massive and it is so influential globally it really shouldn’t be.

181·2 years agoYeah mate, he tried. Congress didn’t pass single-payer and he didn’t anticipate that level of Republican hostility because it hadn’t happened on that scale in the modern era of politics. So we got the ACA instead, which has likely saved thousands of lives just through no denial of coverage for preexisting conditions, let alone everything else it did.

Technology@lemmy.world•U.S. officials urge Americans to use encrypted apps amid unprecedented cyberattackEnglish
3·2 years agoOk but no one is arguing Windows is encrypted. Google is specifically stating, in a way that could get them sued for shitloads of money, that their messaging protocol is E2EE. They have explicitly described how it is E2EE. Google can be a bad company while still doing this thing within the bounds we all understand. For example, just because the chat can’t be backdoored doesn’t mean the device can’t be.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why I regret using 23andMe: I gave up my DNA just to find out I’m British | Technology | The GuardianEnglish
73·2 years agoIt’s actually kjnd of the opposite: America has the dominant culture going back generations. It’s just that culture is very materialistic, so people try to find something deeper. That’s my theory anyway. Besides, most of us are immigrants and I think a lot of Americans want some connection to their place of origin.

Technology@lemmy.world•How One Chinese EV Company Made Battery Swapping WorkEnglish
11·2 years agoI don’t see anywhere that you can’t also just buy a battery and charge it yourself if you’d prefer that over a subscription.

Mate, it’s a cheese quesadilla. It’s two tortillas, cheese, and heat…
Joking aside, there are a few out there. A lot of people are surprisingly into figuring out copycatting popular fast food.
