That's pretty cool.
I'm truly not being a negative nancy but the last time I checked reddit had 400M user accounts. We should be comparing active user numbers, but either way, this is a drop in the bucket and reddit rightly does not consider Lemmy a threat to its supremacy at this point.
We're doing great though! Good trajectory.
Because as a society we've forgotten how to throw bricks at bad people
Of course you understand some dog barks, you just don't think about it because humans process language innately, we have specialized brain structures for it.
I'll bet you can recognize "I see a threat" and 'I'm in pain" when you hear them. Maybe even distinguish them from "happy excitement"
Ideas for the new logo? I think he should go with a black-red motif, with lots of right angles.
What the fuck are "unregretted user minutes"? I regret every minute any user spends on that site, so it should be zero.
Unironically this would be a great concept for a dark comedy
Why is "98%" supposed to sound good? We made a computer that can't do math good
I guarantee you if he puts a Zuckerberg tracker on Twitter, Elon won't say shit about that one.
I zoomed in on the notes. I couldn't make it out completely, but here's what I saw:
I don't get this one, what's the hol up
After reading the caption I had to look at the picture several times to convince myself it was not, in fact, Ben Shapiro in a garfield costume
Because they're bad people, Jan.
There's no need to root for Zuckerberg either. Root for wasps that only eat billionaires.
If your children would just adopt a can-do attitude while they're mining, they'd be getting promotions
The person who made this is either a troll or a fascist, and to me it doesn't really matter which. Poisoning the meanings of words and theories is an old, old fascist trick and that's all that's happening here.
Elon thinks he's the funniest most Online Boy ever, but he has never posted a meme less than 5 years old.
Pretty rare to see a swastika that's drawn well enough to do this
Literally still better than what he actually did
I wish this was the top comment, I'm so tired of lemmy users falling for obvious parody. Admittedly this one is less obvious than most, given Ben Garrison's whole thing.
The reality of this event was disappointingly less than what was promised by the headline. It was a great throw, though.
OK, the Paradox of Tolerance is a Karl Popper social theory about how society should feel about its subgroups, and made recently famous again in a comic, although I don't think the comic context is relevant to this meme.
The basic idea is that if we tolerate absolutely every subgroup, then we are logically also tolerating the existence of fascists and other types of subgroups that want or promote intolerance. If one of these groups (let's say, Nazis) is tolerated by society, it may gain control--indeed, to Popper, this is inevitable--and society becomes intolerant again. So paradoxically, tolerating everything led to the collapse of tolerance itself.
His remedy is that we must not tolerate the intolerant, we must extinguish groups like that through various means. To be clear, Popper is NOT saying we must kill or commit violence against the members of those groups, just that we must make sure the group structure itself is dismantled as it's being built in every case. And here we get to the rather terrible point being made by the meme. "Minorities", as the meme puts it, would be the Nazi group from the earlier example, because their viewpoint is a minority. And Popper isn't promoting violence against them, unless you consider the enforcement of laws to be inherently violent. (A valid point of view, but very far from what the meme is suggesting.)
This thing's been around since the 70's. I think any generation would recognize it.
This doesn't really make sense. Try it the other way: "It's a shame we don't sleep 23 hours a day, then we'd only have to work for a few minutes."
OK, as long as all the well-meaning people stop discussing it, nobody will ever find out about it.
Son, this is not it.
I'm confused why backups would even matter. Are the servers physically hosted in Mali and the government seized them?
Because if the government just invalidated the domain, that's completely different. In that case a server device with everything on it still exists in the same place it always did, it's just DNS that has changed.
(And yes, I understand that losing the domain name and the certs attached to it would be a big deal, but there's no data loss, hence no need to pull from backups.)
He's already being prosecuted. Pull out the gun or shut the fuck up, pissbaby
We've been at war continuously for the last 20 years, actually. That's not an exaggeration, it's a literal fact about the way post-9/11 America structured the powers of the presidency to declare and then just maintain a state of war.
I know you mean like drinking and dancing, but in my head I'm like "yeah my chess club DESERVES a nice building"
Am I wrong in thinking the original tweet was a joke? Adding the mac speech bubble is just saying "no, fuck your joke, this is my joke now"
Eat shit, 6-year-old
I think it's fair to include jizz blown into your 12 generations of grandmas prior to your conception, though, because that cum was necessary to eventually lead to you being born. Scientifically speaking I think we're talking about all the man mayo that went into your grandma's hoochie coochie prior to your conception, but excluding any baby batter that went into the making of your previous older sibling. So we're only counting the clam sauce that led directly to you, not any of your siblings or any other combination of parents.
Jesus Christ you dumb-dumbs, she's not actually a Meta employee of any kind. She's a tech writer. It's a bit.
No, this isn’t solved by having a whole forest available when you scale up the consumer side too.
You're seriously underestimating how many trees there are. The only reason we're losing forest is because of grazing land. That's clearcutting, where you remove the tree and just destroy it or just burn the whole forest. As a vegetarian I'm obviously not here to defend grazing land, but if you look only at wood and paper production, we absolutely can replace the trees we use with enough time for them to regrow completely.
Doing so devastates ecosystems by turning them into monocultures, but you're only talking about the replacement rate of trees. We don't have to worry about the replacement rate of trees, we have to worry about greed for land and environmental impact.
Why should it care about the religion of man, then?
For that matter, why should it care about the invitation of man?
If there are rules a vampire must follow, and those rules can be satisfied through the agency of human beings, having been interpreted by human beings, then we have to consider what a human being means by invitation.
If a 4-year-old invites a vampire into his parents' house, does that count? It's not his house, either. If you think that a vampire can enter on the invitation of a 4-year-old then you must concede that people other than the owner can invite someone in. If you think that invitation is not valid, then you must concede that a vampire respects a hierarchy of rights.
I think that the state asserts a right to invite other people into your house which supersedes your right to prevent them. We call that overriding invitation a warrant.
Honestly how bad could that job be if you can do it with a pushbroom
OK? You can just call attention to the migrant boat tragedy without making everyone feel bad for finding this story weirdly compelling.
Statements like these always somehow act like an entire group of people all took a vote and decided to focus on one thing over another. I don't have control over what other people think is interesting, so what is he trying to tell me, personally?
When you consider abortion, consider this: What if this baby could have grown up to throw a brick at a cop?
Ah, 25 million per child? Finally a fine big enough to make a tech company feel conseque--
[Touches earpiece] one moment, I'm getting an update--
Lol haven't seen it yet. I rolled the dice
Movie studios: "This is definitely the most important thing we have to deal with right now"
