  • Most chicks (and dudes) would prefer someone with money compared to one of equal attractiveness and broke. It’s part of the whole package.

    There’s something like enough money, where having more doesn’t increase your freedom or happiness that much anymore. At some point you’re just getting the custom gold plated luxury version of a thing. A Cartier watch tells the time same as a Citizen.

    For physical attraction it’s similar. There’s a level of beautiful enough, after which other factor might matter more. An 8/10 with great sex life is better than a 10/10 prude starfish.








  • Exactly. In this case it was db0 users, who had the door shut in front of them and wanted to fight back.

    It‘s totally fine for Lemmy instances to restrict speech in whatever way they like. That’s kind of the point of the fediverse.

    The more restrictions an instance has, the less free speech it allows.

    The right to free speech is about the government restricting speech. Human groups like Lemmy instances and communities always restrict speech in one way or another, as in manners, what topics and opinions are deemed appropriate, etc. That‘s by necessity.

    There’s also a constant push and pull going on about what’s considered acceptable and not acceptable speech in every group. The political overtone window is an example of that.

    Let’s be specific to db0 in this context. Defederating feddit.org isn’t about regulating speech on db0, it’s a political power move. It‘s trying to influence speech regulation on feddit.org itself and indiscriminately bans feddit.org users from db0, regardless of what they have ever said. This is an attempt to discredit speech, that’s considered main stream in Germany. It also affects users from Germany the most, again indiscriminately.

    Feddit.org didn’t demand any restriction on speech on other servers on the other hand. They simply have rules db0 doesn’t like.

    So this move by db0 is directly aimed against free speech of others, and their ability to regulate speech as they deem appropriate. So characterizing db0 as pro free speech is not a good fit.

    To db0‘s credit, their community !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com where people can complain about moderation policies around the fediverse is pro free speech. It highlights arbitrary application of rules, abuse of mod power, makes unwritten rules visible. It’s great that it exists. Certainly one of the best communities on the fediverse.




  • Thank you for providing examples. Some are fair enough.

    file explorer has no way to access the root directory

    It has several ways. From the menu bar: > Go to… > Folder > /

    By default Finder no longer shows your main drive in the sidebar. You can easily enable that in Finder settings though.

    You can also navigate the folder hierarchy up until you are at root. cmd + up is the keyboard shortcut for that. You can also command + click the icon in the window title bar and then select the folder upwards in the hierarchy you want to navigate to.

    There are several other ways to do this as well.

    reboot

    A very common way to resolve problems on all operating systems.

    update breaks all local domains

    Weird.

    release after release the experience would worsen and usability would degrade

    I agree that macOS experience has worsened over the last couple of years. It’s still better than Linux and windows overall.
