These non-stick pans are usually cheaper then stainless steel and cast iron, so people with lower income are more prone to buy it. Consequently, considering that low education is associated with poverty, poor people are buying more of this type of pans and not using it “properly” so getting exposed to possibly more harm and not knowing about it.

Also, " just discard the pan if flocking occurs", is everything that this industry wants: you’ll continue in an indefinitely loop of trowing away pans and buying new ones for the maximization of their profits. Thus is expected that flocking will occur more soon than ever.

I know, why? But looks cool though

I agree completely. That’s the purpose of urbanism that we have privatized: now the social interactions happen in the shopping mall or in the online shopping mall ( social media). These places are made to stimulate over consumption and to dry out any cultural movement or community identification; it’s an sterilization of thought. In this way the same model can be replicated worldwide to maximize profits

I know but I see it as the special part. In this way we can communicate not about ourselves, but about common interests. Stuff like ticktock and Instagram are too focused on constructing an idealized “you”

I get it, but each instance could have a community called “chat” or something, and people could talk about a specific topic. It’s not a proper conversation but it’s something… I know that we already do that, in some sense, but it’s always more directed to commenting a news article, or a meme.

Recently I saw that some people gathered to read Das Capital, and they had scheduled each week to talk about a specific part of the book. That’s something awesome and a great way to learn.

I don’t feel that people really talk with each other here on Lemmy, what’s your opinion? It seems that we just share preconceived opinions and that’s it.

These days, it feels like every gathering place on the internet is so crowded with content that’s competing for — and successfully grabbing — our attention or trying to sell us something that there’s barely any room for the “social” element of social media. Instead, we’re pushed into separate corners to stare at the glowing boxes in our hands alone

True

Wow thanks, that’s so amazing!

And culture! The idea is to keep people from reading and making the big questions: why my life is a piece of shit while the rich only gets richer?

Not by accident they are also starting to ban books from libraries…

Google rolled out a retooled search engine that periodically puts AI-generated summaries over website links at the top of the results page; while also showing off a still-in-development AI assistant Astra that will be able to “see” and converse about things shown through a smartphone’s camera lens

What worries me the most is that this AI hype is coming strongly to the smartphone market too, and we don’t have something solid like Linux distributions to change to and be free

Wooow, thank you!

thank you so much. your response means a lot to me, and definitely helps me feel less burdened by the struggle 🥹

i’m just glad im aware of the issues and it’s not too late to take action and help myself

Bot spotted!

We can’t federate with something that’s completely against our ideia of “social”. I mean, meta wants a monopoly of the public space. Meta is a shopping center, the Federation ( Mastodon, Lemmy, and stuff) should be like a public square.

Don’t be so naïve man, Facebook makes money promoting violence.
