I sure hope there's a large group of servers that refuse to federate with servers run for profit. I didn't come to be a product and be manipulated with algorithms.

That's funny, I'm testing YouTube alternatives.

Awesome! I wish them success!

The fediverse is the real internet, it's not a company providing a service. On the real internet, once something gets out there, there can never be a guarantee that it's taken back. Even on Reddit, once you post something, Reddit might fully delete it but someone out there may have copied it.

No corporation can ever be trusted, they exist to exploit you.

I think -- copyright should apply to humans only and be non-transferable from the original artist except in cases of death. Grant copyright to individuals or joint copyright with groups with fractional right for 7 years if the work is distributed, 1 year if not. Legal entities cannot own any copyright at all.

What a sick fuck! A little money for lives huh?

Makes me wish I wasn't so quick to delete my account.

People aren't illegal.

I think walled gardens are inevitable, and desirable, and the walls have doors. I think we'll end up with a big mainstream garden/island of federation of U.S. pop culture w/ Threads and CNN and my mom. Other gardens/islands for things like child safe content, adult only content, servers that refuse to federate with for-profit servers (where I'll be), etc.

Also, I suspect it will (or already is) be common for people to have multiple accounts on different servers for different purposes. I find myself blocking all porn, not because I'm anti porn but it's just not what I'm looking for when I log in with this account. When I want porn, I'll make an account on the nsfw server just for that.

I will remove myself from any servers that federate with Meta.

IMO this and the abortion stuff is about driving blue voters out of state so that Republicans can retake the senate. The senate is a body designed for minority control and they know they'll never again have the majority.

I think we need to take full advantage of this and get them to take down companies for us. Doesn't matter if it's easy to prove wrong.

Some of them could be without gerrymandering and other tricks, they have to ensure they can continue with.

Huh, I think Republicans are immoral after decades of actual grooming and convictions.

As this started happening more and more throughout the years, I’ve often wondered if it was me, if I was so out of touch, but it turned out it was really the children (redditors) who were wrong.

Sometimes Skinner is right.

Beau (of the fifth column) has a cool shirt that says something like "Beyond these borders do not lie a lesser people."

One of the biggest changes in 5g is the separation of the control and data planes, this means downloading pix of kitties doesn't interfere with phone control signals and gets everyone better bandwidth and responsiveness.

This also facilitates "edge computing", which is like a tiny clouds at the base of cell phone towers, this tech is used for super fast facial recognition and things like that where sending the data all the way to the cloud and back is a few milliseconds too slow.

I'm loving the innovation in the fediverse, and all the people seeing issues, bringing them up, and people at least attempting to fix.

Suse here I come!

Is there some way I can support the strike other than by not watching the shows/movies?

If they can wait until their opponents are desperate, won't they become desperate after a couple bad quarters too? I mean, they're corporations.

Wow, that is pretty fascinating.

“If I had another planet and I knew what its star was like, could I guess what photosynthetic life might look like?” he asked. In the code of his model — which is publicly available — there is an option to do exactly that with any selected spectrum.

Nice, we could predict the color of alien plants.

We need to make "Arch Enterprise Linux".

Capitalism has no interest in preservation except where it is profitable. Thinking about the long-term future, archaeologist's success and acting on it is not profitiable.

I think this is where "compartmentalization" comes in. Similar in concept to how you are forced to wall off sadness when a loved one dies so that you can continue to live your life, I think there are mentally competent right wingers, but they wall off the logic and reasoning so that it applies only to machines. They do this because if those ideas of logic and reason get beyond the wall/outside of the compartment, the meaning of their lives falls apart.

mmm fetaverse is goudaverse

I think "owning the libs" is a desirable side-effect and not their main goal.

Their main goal is to keep the lower class voters ignorant and uneducated so that history can be denied and they can be more easily manipulated into voting for right wingers using appeals to emotion (e.g. hatred, racism, patriotism, way of life). This is of course to keep power where it is.

Defederating seems reasonable in this case, until bots can be effectively controlled and are obvious.

Yes, but it would take more work specific to this problem, which if it's not a widespread technique would be viewed as impractical.

This sounds amazing. One mode you can be a cat stuck in a house with 3 other cats that don't get along. You have to try to drop a deuce without getting attacked, you have to mark territory without making your "owner" upset about peeing in the house.

Why would devs remove something like this, at this time? Is it causing huge problems larger than the problems removing it would cause?

Makes me wonder if the devs are being paid to cripple Lemmy. This is where open source shines, we don't have to be held hostage to one product/service.

That's a thought I did not need in my head.

Sometimes I do wish for a downvote.

I feel like I spent much of my youth waiting. Waiting for the weed guy, waiting for my friends to come, or my parents to get home. For a while there I was measuring time in cigs, not recommended.

steel is real

real heavy

I'm so glad to be free of Reddit. It looks so ugly from the outside.

I use Arch btw
