I’m sure then you’ve also seen the basement of Cosmic Pizza

Mick Gordon is in? I’m in.

And yet you’re still here

Unfortunately it’s not going to stop ill-informed Americans from sneering “yeah, how’s that communism going for CHEEYIANAH” if you mention Medicare for all

This take is riddled with naivety.

Not only will Meta read, train AI on, aggregate and datamine, and correlate this data with your real identity, but when Meta announces that “the easiest way to be on the fediverse is to just use Threads” then all the people who avoided Mastodon because it was “too complicated” to sign up, all the people who are basically already signed up because they scroll Insta all day, will go with Threads instead of spreading the load out.

As smaller instances start to drop off under the load, under the lack of interest as threads grows and they shrink, merely mirroring the traffic of a centralized corporate entity, users start to flock to threads for its reliability and speed.

Then Meta pulls the plug, since “no one really used this ActivityPub thing anyway, it was too technical”.

Threads isn’t about beating “X” (lol X is in a death spiral, it’s only a matter of time), it’s about ensuring the Fediverse never rises up.

See what happened with Google Talk and XMPP.

No, the second one says “Sept. 8th 2023” and that last panel is obviously British (you can tell by the teeth) /s

It’s worded confusingly. Let me see if I’m correct here:

If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason

This is not in reference to the lemmy.world users being prevented from using the instance, but instead is about the possible motivation of said attack

then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.

Continuing on to say that you could understand how a person could hold a grudge over a perceived slight

The way you worded it make it sound like you mean lemmy.world users should hold a grudge against the attackers for preventing them from using lemmy.world, which is why people are confused. It might have been better to say like “The attackers are probably retaliating for being banned or something”

It’s easy for really old posts to get necro’d in Active sort. Not necessarily a bad thing, but if you use the “feed” to keep up with the latest then it’ll cloud your listings a bit. A lot of people don’t look at the post date right away (especially those of us from alien site since we’re still operating on old habits).

Hot also had a bug that pushed old posts up, IIRC? Maybe i’m thinking of Active; I can’t remember off the top of my head as I type this. Anyway I think Active is based on recent comment activity and Hot is based on recent voting activity. Nothing wrong with either, but I am honestly appreciating the “Top X hours” methods to keep up with recent news and events and to keep things fresh.

We’re still in the “oh shit activity has increased by a factor of a thousand, we need to make the database not crash” phase of development of Lemmy (and kbin) so I’d expect that eventually the feed sorts will be looked at and tweaked. Just needs a bit of attention to get what you are looking for at the moment.

The fact that I’m still seeing this at the top of my “Top (Twelve Hours)” means you’re probably right? lol

I mean, they probably are technically worth more now…they just didn’t stop to think about what everything else would cost at this point lol

OP:

I run Arch btw

Everyone thinks about the spying as relating to themselves, the individual.

Google doesn’t give a shit about you. Google gives a shit about us. Collectively. They can monitor the collective soul of the world. When people are busy, when they’re not paying attention, when they’re mad, who, and for how long; how they react to certain subjects…how to get them to listen about certain subjects, how to bring them around to certain subjects, how to keep them disagreeing with other viewpoints, etc.

They’re literally developed “a remote control for the flock” and everyone’s out here like “why do I care if Google see my save games I have 500 hours in CoD so wut”

Yeah, Linux users have always had a blind spot for dependency hell when talking about freedom of choice.

Snap seemed like a cool idea until I tried it

Lol straight up told on himself live in the comments

Uninstalling the entire kubuntu package, while reverting to “core Debian” and then installing the Ubuntu package would be more complicated and time-consuming than installing a new OS.

Just partition off your /home and a reinstall won’t be that big a deal.

Honestly? 3 hours a day at any job should be enough for you to afford housing and food for yourself alone.

Also, fuck those hours, what job does UPS have that only requires 3 hours a day? The only reason they do that is because it’s cheaper to pay 2-3 people the part time pay and benefits than it is to take on a single full-time employee. Instead of hiring 2-3 part timers, and then making all those people also have 2-3 jobs, just fucking pay one person full time. Why does the cruelty have to be baked in? They’re not really making THAT much more profit. Fucking greedy and quality suffers for it.

“And yet, eating a vegan diet still produces greenhouse gasses! Curious!”

Right, we’re not magically sucking CO2 from the atmosphere at a rate higher than we combust the biofuel.

The process is not neutral.
