I think I get the point you’re making but climate change will fuck over the same people who end up getting fucked over by war.
As is often the case, the wealthiest can deal with the side effects of climate change. The ones who will be most affected by famines and natural disasters are the poorest, most marginalised, most deprived.
I suspect it’ll make conflict more likely, not less.
I was quite active. But less and less as time goes on, sadly.
The content is drying up, the only really active communities are either tech or political, and my main interests either never left reddit or have a home elsewhere. The nail in the coffin for me will be when my instance dies, which is looking increasingly likely given that the admin is AWOL.
It’s ok here, but it’s too fragmented to be a full replacement for anything else.
I know Google is a big corpo but its hardly the only reason behind the state of the internet. It is a major factor, but to single out Google when Microsoft and others have played just as significant of a role is odd.
Daily fail
I won’t even open the link, I know it’s outrage bait.
This should be a sign of whats in store for GB news. Cleese is a sign of times past, they’re appealing to an aging and dwindling base.
This man is trying to roast the woman for something she’s clearly not ashamed of, while publicly outing himself for spending $30 on a single wank.
On Lemmy it is more like 40 something year old neckbeards that haven’t seen the light of day in 2 decades. They claim to struggle to make friends at parties but could easily run a country.
Neither of the two points you’ve made address what I said. Maybe you misunderstood. By “MySpaced” I mean “become irrelevant”.
Being open source won’t prevent this, sadly. 4 years is still young, but if a critical mass shifts back to Reddit then Lemmy will be considered a failure.
It’s time for Lemmy devs to really think about the pain points and how to address them.
It’s clear that federation isn’t working as intended. Because of that, moderation is too difficult. Defederation has been a major drama for Lemmy, which is only being made more likely given these complaints have not been addressed.
Then there’s the curse of choice that makes gaining non-tech users a lost cause. It is leading to extreme fragmentation which makes people drift back to their busier platforms.
These issues need to be addressed or Lemmy will be MySpaced within a year.
I said this was a bad idea when we first moved here. Nobody wants to interact with a bot. Especially if it is a discussion that involves the OP… people realise the conversation is taking place on Reddit and go back there.
When I was learning programming I wrote a small program that I called for_you.exe. It printed an animated ASCII penis ejaculating on some boobs. I emailed it to my girlfriend and thankfully she thought it was hilarious. We’re still together.
It went offline, as do all of those platforms that only cater to one subreddit’s worth of users (especially the edgy ones). But it wouldn’t surprise me if the admin had three letter agencies breathing down their neck and just packed it in.
While you’re correct that he owns Twitter and can do what he wants with it, your analogy doesn’t work. Nobody else uses your Toyota and the colour provides no functionality. Twitter has been the platform for breaking news and political discussion for years now.
A better version of your analogy would be if you replaced the exhaust on your Toyota with one that pumped out visible smog. You let people hire it for a drive, as you did before. But they drive around our homes.
Originally, we could say “You can’t drive here anymore!” but now you let them drive anywhere regardless. Oh, and some of these drivers now play Hitler speeches through the sound system while they do donuts on our driveways.
You can. I’m not by my desktop but I’m sure I use ublacklist in Firefox.
LTT is one of the biggest YouTube channels and commands a lot of influence in the PC gaming community. The parent organisation actually has a lot of channels on youtube and they pump out a ton of videos under a few different names so even if you don’t recognise the LTT name you might have seen some of their other videos just in passing.
Why is it a big deal? Because the accusations are big, given their influence on peoples’ purchasing decisions.
I am going to continue not having an account and not having to deal with this.
Millennials were born after nukes were invented and while the cold war ended (supposedly), nukes weren’t exactly removed from existence.
Sometimes I’d settled for a simple description of what the tool even is. Sometimes the readme is just straight into compilation steps and I feel like we’re rushing into something.
Games publishers are in a war of attention and don’t want to compete with themselves. They won’t sell you an old game if they can get you hooked on the new version with microtransactions and DLC with no story and sub-par multiplayer.
The next point is just making the case for open source.
