Come on. Stop reading the comments. Go check the article.

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.

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

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.

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

Oh no I didn’t mean incapacity. I meant fluency. One could be mildly or extremely fluent. Was wondering if origin makes a difference.

No idea what race theory is. But what you say does makes sense. As an adult, yes it is mostly dependent on not being used to. But as another user pointed out, there are some languages with clicks in it that are difficult for someone outside the community to speak.

Ah interesting

No. Non native. But brought up in the same culture. I guess it didn’t make a difference then. Chatgpt gave a weird response, so I thought I’d check with people with more knowledge about this.

May be. Would things like facial structure impact the fluency of the language ?

But I’m wondering more about communities than ethnicity. For example, my native language is difficult (not impossible) for someone brought up outside the community to speak.

My question is are there languages that one cannot be fluent in even if you are brought up in that community.

Money

Sorry that is not what I’m asking. Of course anyone can learn skills. But there are certain mannerisms that are imprinted on us because we are from a certain community.

My question is if there exists a language that let’s say among two children (one from the same country, but one from a different one) going through the same upbringing, but the non-native child cannot be as fluent as the native child ?

Stadia was destined to fail though. I still remember the key note in which it was introduced. The CEO started with the lines "I don’t play many games, but … ".

I stopped using reddit after they dropped the bomb on the devs and I’m not a fan of the company.

I understand the hatred towards them, but this is definitely expected from a company like reddit, and any other social media for that matter. As users we must be aware that we don’t own the content in their platform.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the same story comes from Instagram tomorrow, though I suppose there will be a bigger outcry then.

Where did I say it prevents monopolies ?

Where I’m from if it goes public I’m sure the govt is going to take advantage of it with piss poor speeds. When it’s private, at least there are companies competing with decent speeds even though it’s expensive. It’s a choice between the lesser of two evils.
