Looking in the oven and seeing yesterday's food is still in there

Imagine actually having seen any Ctrl Alt Del comics other than Loss, can't be me

The best part is that Cox and Zucker didn't give it the name Cox-Zucker machine themselves, because you're not supposed to name things after yourself. A third person, Schwartz, caught the joke and gave it the name.

Anecdotally, the communities I'm interested in are getting more active in a way that seems sustainable (as opposed to last year, when it was a always a single person posting some, getting no responses, and leaving). I'm pretty positive about the state of Lemmy and the wider threadiverse.

Taking a fixed percentage of the profits/revenue is reasonable. Taking a fixed amount of money for every install is insane.

False dichotomy? If so I agree

I don't really expect 4channers to have reasonable opinions on moderation, the whole reason it's the way it is is because of lax moderation

I mean, duh. Everyone on the internet is just women pretending to be men.

Brainfuck: it's technically an essay, but who in their right mind would write it using only the first eight letters of the alphabet?

At least on Lemmy, defederating is also a way of banning all the instance's users from your communities. If you're constantly banning one instance's users and their admins seem fine with it, there's really no other way.

Also, importing/exporting user data will make it easier to transfer your account to a different instance. I'm mostly excited for scaled ranking though.

The show is literally called "the boys," how can it not be meant for boys?

That annoying character

How dare you

Billy got granted a super-powered female alter ego, while his sister Mary got a male one (you may need to have read/watched Shazam for it to make sense)

Honestly, the fact that I can just talk to people on the other side of the world with zero effort is wild

The final bit is interesting. Vaxry says Q (who was openly bigoted) got punished, but doesn't mention prisj (who was slightly less open about it).

#general does indeed sometimes have jokes that some people might treat as "controversial".

And if you really need a place with controversial jokes, split it off from your support server or something.

If I remember right, the game The Talos Principle calls that the Talos principle

I miss the 'normies', I interact with enough tech people in my daily life

Making art is something people enjoy, for one thing. Good art also has something of the artist in it, something to it other than "it was made from this prompt".

I guess you could say the people who actually moved away from Reddit aren't on /r/RedditAlteratives anymore

Yeah crypto bros aren't exactly leftist, neither is the hypercapitalist Silicon Valley crowd, and I've encountered plenty of other tech enthusiasts with worrying opinions.

We'll also let them interrupt each other at any time (somehow, this means the idiot always gets the last word) and not fact-check anything that gets said (in the interest of balance).

The problem is that eventually everything will be posted, and everyone will be banned from the website.

I don't think they see that as a problem, that's the goal

This post made my curious about the instance he's on, monero.town, and the first post I see is Covid antivax shit

Sometimes, it's hip to be square

Out of everything NJB says, they're offended by a throwaway line about a woman they probably hated before she came out as transphobe? Wild.

I think one big reason for defederating is that a specific instance is creating a lot of work for the mods/admins because its users keep breaking rules. Instance blocking doesn't really help there.

It's relevant for Reddit as a home for niche topics, but maybe they're not interested in being that anymore

If so, companies rolling out blatantly wrong AI are doing the world a service and protecting us against subtly wrong AI

At least moving from one ActivityPub service to another isn't as big a step as abandoning Reddit

Maybe the kid was napping, who knows

Between Meloni, Órban, PiS, the True Finns, etc. I think there are plenty of dumpster fires

We're already that close to Mastodon in user count? Wack

It's like the darkest pattern. Making it so that quitting has to be a conscious choice. I see why amoral companies would use it, don't know why FOSS would too.

You don't really notice it when driving underneath, but standing at the top or sailing across such aqueducts is very weird

... is this AI or am I crazy?

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" has a certain rhythm to it. The first half is about the fox and it's all quick, monosyllabic words, then in the second half it's about the dog and every other word is two syllables. ...or something like that.

"I have asked people this question on my own, and I've been told by some that they don't know where the [anatomical] landmarks for CPR are due to women having breasts," Dr. Nicole McAllister, clinical assistant professor of emergency medicine at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, tells Yahoo Life.

Many people who receive CPR training practice on flat-chested mannequins and learn that CPR should be performed across the breastbone and nipple line, she says. "Because people think of doing CPR in terms of a male-form dummy, some of this doesn't translate well and they don't feel comfortable doing it in the right spot," McAllister says.

From the article. There's also an expert that bring up your reason, and there are some more explanations given (people don't realise it when a woman has a heart attack, people are afraid of hurting the woman)
