@dessalines@lemmy.ml i would appreciate if you could give me some feedback

it was an exageration, you can achieve fairly good image compression without that much loss of quality, and anyway the content being uploaded now is compressed because you basically can't upload a lossless file like .png because of upload size restrictions.

I agree, I wish more countries would employ a similar model to the Chinese firewall, ultimately it's impossible to fight back against tech monopolization if you don't block access to such egregious platforms. Local alternatives never emerge if they're being co-opted by 3 letter agencies.

that's true, if you want the upmost security you should probably not install anything but ublock origin since every extension you add creates another possible attack surface. in that cases extensions aren't designed for you. i personally try to keep it minimal but have a few for practical reasons.

i didnt know about that! there is some overlap, but ushiro can fetch images in a few more cases. ctrl+i only shows images firefox knows are part of the page. it's also more convenient and better looking imo. if you prefer to have as little extensions as possible ctrl+i may suit your needs tho!

capitalism is bothering you, not ai. there's nothing inherently wrong with ai, this "slop" is just the many forms capital can take. it is not much different from terrible film productions created only with the purpose of capital accumulation.

do you realize ukraine just attacked ukrainians right? just because it's russian controlled doesn't mean anything...

as an argentinian i found this cool 😎

you had to do one search to find most of what you've said is false

Underoccupied developments in China are mostly unoccupied newly built property developments in China, and frequently referred to as "ghost cities" or ghost towns. The phenomenon was claimed and recorded as early as 2009 by Al Jazeera's Melissa Chan and subsequently reported by news media over the decades.[1][2][3][4] Although a feature of discourse on the Chinese economy and urbanization in China in the 2010s, many developments that were initially criticized as "ghost cities" in China have since become occupied and are now functioning cities.[5][6][7][8]

China's government has set a goal to raise the nation's urbanization rate to around 75% by 2035, which may require the construction of an estimated 40 to 50 million new housing units to accommodate this shift.[9] Some observers argue that China's so-called "ghost cities" are better understood as ambitious urbanization projects built ahead of demand.

they don't have "ghost cities" they have something called planned economy. in a planned economy the state plans to improve the lives of the proletariat. so essentially they are creating house for people to live instead of them being used for upping some numbers on a spreadsheet.
