Windows is always going to get more enshittified and worse as time goes on and they force more subscriptions and AI features into it. Linux is just going to get better and better. Which trend line are you looking to hitch your wagon too?
Scammer uses AI to scam people into buying GLP1 drugs (that don’t work when taken orally anyway) instead of changing diet and lifestyle.
This guys may not be an actual billionaire but he is already just as unethical as one.
You know the way that Nintendo releases an unfinished and barely function game monetized with micro-transactions makes me think capitalism might be problematic
I almost never see politics in my feed. But Lemmy itself was created by leftist communists, it was never built to be a politics free space
It takes manual curation if you want to avoid it
Reddit has a perverse incentive to keep the user base frothing for engagement
There is no such incentive on Lemmy. We are toxic because we choose to be. All natural, free range, grassroots haters
It’s biblical, the love of money is the root of every evil. It’s easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Even if you don’t believe, it’s as clear now as it was 2000 years ago that money absolutely corrupts.
With regard to number 2. Just because a company isn’t abusing their dominant market position today, doesn’t mean they won’t tomorrow when ownership changes.
It would be preferable that market competition forced valve to be pro consumer instead of just GabeN’s good will
Rapidly aging refers to the trend line of average age rapidly increasing over time. Not people rapidly aging.
If you called them out someone could show support if so inclined.
He did lead off with he enjoyed Reddit. The Lemmy corner of the fediverse is a very different culture than today’s Reddit (although I think it feels just like 2012 Reddit).
If a new users were to be outside these norms on Lemmy (such as a AI slop enjoyer or Windows 11 user) then it would probably feel hostile.
I guess the question would be for OP, are you willing to stick around and possibly change some of Lemmy’s culture, your own mind, or possibly both? Or are you just looking for a corporate approved hivemind echo chamber clone of Reddit?
Not that this place can’t be an echo chamber, but federation prevents that so much more than on Reddit. Lemmy has no financial incentive to push an agenda or rhetoric; it’s all grassroots
You are probably thinking of ping times on the old satellite internet services. Those were terrible , barely better than dialup. Starlink is LEO so ping is much better
It’s based off an older incident of incest Folgers commercial
Apple has to have the a record of the email address the alias points too. And if you have given your identity to Apple, I don’t see what else they can do but turn it over to the cops if they have a warrant.
Someone enlighten me if I’m wrong but I don’t see how the could obscure this data without making the system non-functional and I don’t think they could legally not collect this data and be in compliance with KYC laws
Did Violet 08 make a new account?
Is that Kurtis Connor lol?
I’m not trying to yuck anyone’s yum but I absolutely hate that turn of phrase and think less of someone who uses it ^(not really but it is super millennial cringe coded)^
Sounds like I need to start praying for Pete Hegseth…
I think wha you meant to say is that American conservatism was a mistake. Not like Luther had any idea when was nailing his 99 thesis’s to the door that centuries later American conservatives would be so unscrupulous that they would weaponize the ignorance of the congregations to build an unholy malicious political coalition.
Every person that logs in and interacts in good faith in some way is useful to Lemmy.
Unless indie devs are getting guarantees for revenue that aren’t tied to playtime numbers I don’t see how these indie devs aren’t just getting scammed.
It would seem like they would be better off by figuring out how much money they’d need to put into advertising to make the same amount of sales to make the same or more revenue than they would by putting them on a subscription
