I’m sure then you’ve also seen the basement of Cosmic Pizza

And yet you’re still here

Unfortunately it’s not going to stop ill-informed Americans from sneering “yeah, how’s that communism going for CHEEYIANAH” if you mention Medicare for all

This take is riddled with naivety.

Not only will Meta read, train AI on, aggregate and datamine, and correlate this data with your real identity, but when Meta announces that “the easiest way to be on the fediverse is to just use Threads” then all the people who avoided Mastodon because it was “too complicated” to sign up, all the people who are basically already signed up because they scroll Insta all day, will go with Threads instead of spreading the load out.

As smaller instances start to drop off under the load, under the lack of interest as threads grows and they shrink, merely mirroring the traffic of a centralized corporate entity, users start to flock to threads for its reliability and speed.

Then Meta pulls the plug, since “no one really used this ActivityPub thing anyway, it was too technical”.

Threads isn’t about beating “X” (lol X is in a death spiral, it’s only a matter of time), it’s about ensuring the Fediverse never rises up.

See what happened with Google Talk and XMPP.

Processes that run on the same system can run as different users (including kernel) which is used for privilege separation. This can still allow a program in userland to peer into otherwise restricted system processes or the kernel. Every system is a “multi-user” system, even if there is only a single human user.

I mean to don’t really need your word processor to be a “3D experience”. I think a big part of Vision Pro is bringing your work environment with you. Like, you know where everything is, how to find it, etc.

When you need to “step into your office to draw that up” you can just pull your headset down for a minute.

Lol straight up told on himself live in the comments

Isn’t Hexbear the ex-ChapoTrapHouse subreddit that started their own sub with blackjack and hookers?

I.e. they created (and, importantly, modified) their own Lemmy instance. And, supposedly, they’re working to fix what they broke, so they can rejoin with the larger fediverse without losing their content?

So before we wax paranoid about the intentions of lemmyworld admins, shouldn’t we consider that this might just be a temporary measure to prevent technical issues while they bring their fixes into production?

Let’s just wait until LW admins make their announcement before we pass judgement. I fully agree there is no political reason to defederate from them. I don’t know if their community is problematic but everything I’ve heard would suggest otherwise. And I do not know the timeframe or technical details of their supposed plan to refederate. So again, while I agree with you, I think perhaps it is a bit early for speeches.

Honestly? 3 hours a day at any job should be enough for you to afford housing and food for yourself alone.

Also, fuck those hours, what job does UPS have that only requires 3 hours a day? The only reason they do that is because it’s cheaper to pay 2-3 people the part time pay and benefits than it is to take on a single full-time employee. Instead of hiring 2-3 part timers, and then making all those people also have 2-3 jobs, just fucking pay one person full time. Why does the cruelty have to be baked in? They’re not really making THAT much more profit. Fucking greedy and quality suffers for it.

Be interesting to see how LTT responds to this. Their whole online store is powered by Shopify.

Anyone who doesn’t believe Elon is taking Twitter on purpose is a fucking moron.

Yeah? Then why didn’t all the engineers decry him right then and there? Didn’t see much talk calling him out. Ya’ll just let that shit ride? Especially seeing the popularity he was building?

You don’t think it takes a fucking idiot to be forced into spending 44 billion dollars, some of it other people’s money, to purposely destroy a social media platform because you (and the people who’s money you used) were upset how critical said platform was of you?

As blockers don’t work on Google TV

“And yet, eating a vegan diet still produces greenhouse gasses! Curious!”

“Space Gray”

It’s the reason for everything happening on Reddit and Twitter.

I think a big part of it was that he announced he’s buy it for a ridiculously over-valued price and their stock surged as people bought in so they could get a slice of the pie.

If he didn’t follow through that would have been clear stock manipulation and, unlike dogecoin, there are more severe repercussions for that…

It’s usually not the devs who make the decisions on what to implement; that only happens in the early days of a site when the owners are also the devs.

C-levels looking to make money are pulling the strings. The devs at any large site just have a list of user stories to burndown.

It’s funny how the biggest fuckups are happening to the platforms that critiqued the billionaire class the loudest.

Hmmm
