Too much centralization of the Lemmy network happened. A big default choice instance, some others that are medium sized, and several hundreds of tiny instances nobody cares about.
It does make more sense to have a community for an interest too, rather than an entire instance devoted to one area.
I guess it works for porn instances but haven't seen it work for any others. Porn is good for having alt accounts.
Where are the good guys in non-religious (scientific) leaders?
They are all scheming to gain more power and control.
Humans are just not emotionally ready to recognize where all this leads.
It's absolutely horrible yeah. This is 2024. Is this the future people were thinking we would have...
Almost everyone is on Lemmy.world, so.... I don't know. Don't think they made a choice. People who are not on Lemmy.world made a choice at least.
I just feel alone since I don't enjoy any costumes... I'm amazed that people enjoy dressing up. It's just missing entirely in my own personality. Fuck I'm boring.
I'm happy with the current state actually. Too much people using Linux and it's going to become a target for ads and tracking. Currently we are flying under the radar, and it's amazing. We are in the sweet spot of having enough quality software without the downsides.
Who are you talking about that is insisting there can be no deviation from the norm? And maybe you don't realize how teaching works.... You need someone willing to learn to be able to be able to have a teacher. Banning words and discussions is absolutely the wrong way to go. History has shown this many times.
And my point is very simple. Don't ban words. Have open discussions. Don't support censorship of opinions or words. Don't be afraid of what people are actually thinking of things. Stop trying to control what people should think, and stop trying to teach them what you think is right.
People will not read something online and change their minds. Just like you are currently reading my words here, and you will not agree or change your mind. Neither will I. That's how it works.
I can't be your teacher unless you want to be my student.
Well, you were talking about the positive aspects of autistic people only. Maybe it's hard to notice that, but it sounds almost like you think they are a better version of non-autistic people. From my perspective, that's not really how it is... :) Autism or not, people can have a lot of negative personality traits that make them a pain to be around.
My girlfriend tried to use Vivaldi 7, it crashes when importing bookmarks from Chrome (on desktop) . Did it for me too, so I don't know...
Otherwise I like it's nice user interface. And I think it still had support for adblock v2.
Those websites will simply register alternate domains.... It's really not a big deal.
Thank you, but is it really fair to say they all autistic people are like you describe? Just like non-autistic people, there should be a a variety of behaviors in autistic people as well?
I was talking about Elon Musk here, not all autistic people.
I don't see it. Elon is a sociopath and doesn't care about people at all. He is autistic as well. The man would easily sacrifice others in a crisis, not fight for them.
This is how I feel also. This is life for a person? I think it makes zero sense that anyone is fine with this being their life...
Some people on Lemmy are very strange. You will get used to it. :)
Located in a former bank downtown, the facility has had 300 people apply for its remaining 17 rental beds
This is not dystopian at all, is it? Humans sleeping in pods. I guess it beats homelessness but this seems like a fail on epical levels (unless profits for these pod companies are what we care about).
Voting for women's right is like voting for being able to breathe. Who votes against it?
I hope they aren't. Diversity is the opposite of chemistry. It may be great for companies but it's quite bad for finding similar-minded people you can connect with.
I don't think they will answer here... :)
Probably better to go to their official site.
It was too slow for me. Lost interest in the middle of season 1. And I don't think the main actress is very good, I don't actually understand why she is even famous. But that's life.
Thunderbird for Android takes flight today! Find out what's new in the first stable release, where to download it, and how to get started!
New thunderbird available for android now. :)
It. Is. Never. Enough.
You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.
I hate it.
I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?
Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.
I didn't feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.
Just disappointed. How about you guys?
GOG previously said it wants "to ensure your gaming legacy is always in your hands"
I guess it's just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.
This is not revolutionary but it saves some keystrokes when wanting to limit results to certain sites.
Personally I don't really limit anything with Kagi. It's usually just finding what I want without having to do anything.
I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people's systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.
All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai...
The bike knows my height and weight and that's about it. From that it can calculate how my body burns calories?
Every body is very different, so I don't see how any calculation can be accurate.
I can't express how much I love hetzner doing this. There is a huge market for people who just need some instances and reliable/cheap object storage to run their apps.
If you have money, you can pay the bail and get released, while poor people can't.
I don't see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?
Here’s what they say needs to change.
Is gen z intentionally refusing to change their behavior for work, or what is the reason for this?
Kind of think it's cool that they remain themselves.
This will be a vote against competition.
Similar to America, Europe is also artificially trying to make consumers choose native cars, by making Chinese ones more expensive.

It's about debt on zombie office towers.
This article describes the real reason behind the push back to the office. It's about rich people gambling on real estate and now office buildings are empty.
These same people own newspapers and media channels which is why their crying voices are being pushed.
Not long to go now :) Frostpunk 1 was one of my all time favorite games and I think everyone should check out the sequel. It's been getting stellar reviews.
Remote workers often brag about how productive they are at home, but a new survey sheds light on what they're really doing all day.
My favorite quote:
> While employees in the office might kill time messaging friends or flipping through TikTok, remote workers take advantage of being far from the watchful gaze of bosses to chip away at personal to-do lists or to goof off.
> Nearly half of remote workers multitask on work calls or complete household chores like unloading the dishwasher or doing a load of laundry, according to the SurveyMonkey poll of 3,117 full-time workers in the U.S.
Oh noes, people actually doing things that are useful for their families instead of even more computer time.
It's insane that this is even considered strange or surprising. When I work from home, I take longer lunch breaks and I often stop working earlier, but I'm still three times as productive compared to sitting in an office.
At home, I actually get focused time to do something and think. At the office, this is extreamly difficult with all the distractions and noise constantly interrupting my train of thought.
A worker on Tesla's Autopilot team described what it's like labeling the influx of driver videos.
Some quotes from the article:
> There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone's life. It feels odd to see someone's daily drive, but it's also an important part of correcting and refining the program.
> We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you're just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane.
> Anytime you're not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren't working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors.
These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.
Off by default, but never fully gone.
Who is surprised?
Customize YouTube to work exactly the way you want it to.
I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.
And the best part is no ads whatsoever.
There's also a new browser choice screen. Today Apple has announced a new set of changes it's going to implement into its mobile operating systems to...
I don't expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it's nice that it will be possible in a year.
Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p
