It’s not all bad though!

Oh I’m willing to have a few comments, I should have been more clear. I was just saying I didn’t want this to just keep going indefinitely. Bye!

I don’t intend to have a back and forth with you, I have reason to believe it would be unproductive and frustrating.

Maybe just consider that people have no better recourse to judge a person than their actions, and mitch has done terrible things. His motivations, and whether or not he is “evil” or just generally trying to do the right thing, are irrelevant in the face of his destructive political actions. People aren’t happy that an old man had a seizure, they are happy the old man might not be causing harm much longer.

Not explicitly, no. It’s just a red flag that if you engage with this person it will be unproductive and frustrating.

Conservatives wish death on pretty much all liberal politicians every now and then, sometimes on live television, and no one even bats an eye. A handful of leftist internet comments have “ding dong the witch is dead” vibes and you start clutching your pearls.

Mitch is a shitty traitor.

“both sides” is the fastest giveaway of a bad faith troll lately. At least the unapologetic conservatives don’t pretend to take the moral high ground

The most convincing argument that elon does a lot of cocaine is just listening to him speak in a less formal interview.

BUT! I don’t think he used to be actually smart, just lucky. Too many people assume “succesful” people had to have done something exceptional to earn it, but 99% of extremely wealthy people acquired that extreme wealth through a simple combination of luck and startup capital (which of course they have because they are lucky).

Doesn’t reddit not make money though? Like, if traffic resulted in them making money, I’d agree, but everything I’ve heard would indicate using reddit with an adblocker literally costs them money.

Exclusively using reddit to protest should be fine IMO, just don’t contribute anything that isn’t a protest (including voting)

Only if you don’t clean them in my experience, and they aren’t particularly hard to clean. Just give em as good scrub when you clean the shower.

You can get shower mats with brush parts. No need to fold yourself in half, just shuffle your feet.

Reading arguments about these concepts while many people completely disagree what their definitions are feels like treading water waiting to exhaust myself and drown.

Maybe the point is the policies and anyone who argues about words is part of the problem.

This is basically why I’m not really using the apps. Firefox mobile browser seems the most convenient way to browse IMO, at least for now. If I want to look at the local for sh.itjust.works I just open a new tab at sh.itjust.works.

Nah, asking it to do math is perfect. People are looking for emergent qualities and things it can do that they never expected it to be able to do. The fact that it could do somewhat successful math before despite not being a calculator was fascinating, and the fact that it can’t now is interesting.

Let the devs worry about how good it is at what it is supposed to do. I want to hear about stuff like this.

It’s kinda meta and more than a little dumb. The “joke” of the subway meme is to have the text have nothing to do with subway, and to show obvious evidence of lots of edits and compression, like there was a back-and-forth argument. Idk why.

Hopefully

Call me boring if you want but this was already overdone and annoying by the second time they did it. Not looking forward to dumb screenshots of hard to understand pixel drama taking over everything again, it will probably be posted all over lemmy too…

They started stacking stones when they got stuck on the island, and she symbolically stopped with the seashell when they were free. It is the intended final addition. Kinda makes it an informative monument, they have a sort of physical record of how many generations were stuck on the island.

You are probably correct… As soon as they can’t deny it it will likely go from “not real” to “the libs fault” so fast it’ll make our heads spin…

People seem to want a lot of things from the fediverse right now but the key to most of them is patience. The platform and userbase are both unstable. Lemmy and kbin are both unfinished software that need more time and effort, and/or more devs. There isn’t any getting around that.

As for the users, there are a huge amount of new ones every day, most coming from reddit, and they want to talk about what is fresh and relevant to them. We won’t be able to get off the topic of reddit until it stops sending migrators. Additionally, people aren’t quite certain how to use this space yet, and haven’t finished finding/setting up the communities they want. It is going to take time, possibly more so than the development of lemmy and kbin.

I doubt they would be willing to let people host and control their own versions of federated facebook, and I’m wondering then what would make it “decentralized” exactly. Are they just using decentralized as a buzz word because they are using ActivityPub?
