Looking back I really cannot fathom how we watched DVDs and thought the image quality was acceptable. I am way too spoiled by HD and UHD.

Don't be naïve. As long as greed is enabled in our society this or worse would've always been the outcome. Or do you think other companies would've slept on the opportunity?

Nice strawmen you got there. Where the fuck did you see me defend a billionaire?!

I am just being realistic here. Our current society enables greed and greed would've always led to this situation or worse. We need to change the system fundamentally to change that.

Yea, right. It would've been another platform to capitalize on the internet becoming more available and digital distribution becoming viable.

I am getting what you are saying. It's not difficult to understand but I understand that for you it must seem like I don't get it.

What I am stating though is that while you assume the relationship of IQ and that feeling you are describing to be linear it is in fact not.

Like most relationships between metric and human feelings it's highly non linear and individual to everyone. I disagree that someone with k+30 IQ feels the same about someone with k IQ no matter the reference IQ k.

No I don't think that of course.

What I am saying is that the meaning of relative differences is non linear. That is 30 IQ points difference is not the same kind of difference from 70 to 100 points as from 100 to 130 nor from 150 to 180.

IQ is not linear enough for this argument to hold imho

Why? I am not living in the us but it's a useful phrase.

Too much US election content on Lemmy? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I hope this is a good place for this. A few weeks ago I started a simple experiment: Block every community in the All feed that is about the US election in some way.

I thought this up after a thread about the Biden debate, as someone kindly (not really kindly) informed me that I should curate my own experience here. I thought about it and realized just how much election/politics stuff there is on the front page. It was quite hard blocking communities I like, especially 196 on blahaj.

Now the quality of my feed did go up in some ways but it's very slow. I also realized that I am feeling a lot less rage/anger than before when scrolling lemmy. I didn't even realize how much the constant political stuff from another continent affected me...

What is your opinion on this? Is Lemmy really filled with too much US political rage bait? Should I continue with my zero tolerance policy?

It would also interest me to hear an American perspective. Is there more or less politics here, on other platforms or real life. How does rage/hate affect you when scrolling through Lemmy and does it take a toll?
