More than "mildly infuriating", this is deeply depressing.

(And seeing TikTok two times there don't make things better...)

Venezuela is one of those countries that just constantly seems to be in a bad state. I can't imagine living under a government that disrespects its people.

As it turns out unalienable rights are totally alienable

For a colonial power, Spain was a real douchebag. The effects of that douchebaggery seem to have real staying power.

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There are plenty of other former Spanish colonies that are doing much better than Venezuela

A colonial powers in the Americas were real douchebags. They genocided the natives, then went to another continent to enslave people and bring them over. All this was for sugar and tobacco. Millions of deaths and enslaved so some people in Europe could smoke cigarettes while they have sweets. It couldn't get much worse than that.

[–] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 days ago

It's not about the sweets and cigarettes it's just about the wealth acquisition. Same then as it is now. Companies are still using slave and otherwise coerced labor to extract all kinds of wealth from foreign countries.

If any countries try to take control over their own economy by closing it to Western "investment" they get wrecked by the world bank and invaded or sanctioned by the US and/or its allies.

Global capitalism is neo-colonialism.

Same as Florida... but for different reasons.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Oh yeah, I know why lol

[–] quixotic120@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Isn’t tiktok free? Why would you need a lite version. Is it for old phones that can’t run much?

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

Yes, is for old phones and such. A mutual told me the main app is bad optimized, and a lot of smartphone here are very VERY old. Mine have like 5 years or so, I think that's like 5 decades in more "develop" countries.

Third-world shenanigans, you know.

If it's anything like Facebook lite, it's literally a wrapper for the website. Not even a proper app. Usually a worse experience than using a real browser, but the main apps are usually so bad that people with older phones put up with the lite "apps".

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is that because of the political situation? Like repression, internet censorship... Or an unrelated trend?

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (13 children)

Yeah, is political. We can enter twitter (not that I care) and other sites.
