As much as I understand beehaw admin has every right to defedorate with any instance, and I respect the decision for beehaw admin to look after the community.
However, it seems this instance is no longer for me. I want to see more content by more people. I understand there need to be a balance of content quantity vs content quality. I personally think that beehaw is leaning too much towards quality for me.
cough, cough, lightening port.
As much as I share your centiment about tech. I don’t quite realize how is TPM scary? It physically separates security-critical operation from the main CPU.
Cookieautodelete is sooo underrated.
WHAT?! That is a new low, even for steve
In my experience I find niche community are very well “centralized”, like there is only one gnome community.
However larger community are speard between servers like tech etc. That really is not a problem for me, as any of these larger community can give me the news I need. Also sub to all 3 of them is not a big deal either.
Like everyone on reddit sub to at least 3 art communities, 5 dank meme communities, and 10 music communities.
Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site.
“And the opportunity cost of not having those users on our platform, on our advertising platform, is really significant,”
By “significant”, he means 3%??? That is not factoring how much profit these 3% of people’s content can provide.
So all of these fuzz just to have a one time increase of less than 3% of the profit, even at the cost of more than a million (57 million * 3%) user’s privacy, that is freaking ridiculous.
How was the food, I was told that was not dutches’ strong strong suit.
How dare you suggest that children and our future are more important than old millionaire boomer trolls, that uses every fiber of their being to screw everyone over so that they can have enjoy free vacations from their CEO friends?
I am not surprised from the quality of text they are generating. In my class, at least half of the class are using clearly generated text to fill the discussion form (repeated use of word, slow development, extremely organized style, nonexistent reference etc.). It is really hilarious to read them.
One of the reasons I want a colored eink is that I can finally starting to draw my slides instead of writing it.
Although I have never tried a Wacom tablet connecting to my PC. I heard they have pretty good Linux support. Maybe that would suffice.
If you use markdown format you can actually display the image. I think like this 
I think colored eink is a great idea, unfortunately I will never buy a boox device at this point. Their business model is similar to phone model, pushing out new model is much more important than maintaining old model.
IMO this practice is very wasteful, extremely bad for the environment (electronics are in general very toxic), and ultimately just anti consumer.
That being said, different people have different needs, and have to face different trade-offs. Absolutely no judgement if anyone decided to get one. I am just saying personally I would much prefer the supernote’s business model than boox.
Reddit needs to be replaced sooner or later. Unless they stay true to their goal and never have capital screwing the community.
A federated and community-based services is the better way to keep useful conversation on the internet to help everyone.
I don’t think that is a good strategy to convince people to leave. Also it adds strains to the Lemmy instances.
Political jargon is confusing. But I think this case they refer to economical right-wing, who typically support deregulation of market.
I think calling “modern left” “liberal” is kind of confusing, since most modern left support social freedom and economical control, which is not really “liberal”. But that is the terms we stuck with.
Regardless, we already have electricity, self-driving vehicles that barely kills any person, it is called a tram, and it cost 7 bucks to commute. Cheaper than most car insurance.
Maybe instead of begging billionaires to come up with things that are not much worse (just slightly worse), we probably should just build more tram?
Are you using a Lemmy client or a mastodon client? I think it is better to use a client that can sort through these “Lemmy” like federations, otherwise you will get every post.
I don’t know if it is possible for Lemmy to only federate posts but not comments with other apps like mastodon.
Sounds like a fun idea, basically a better “all” page.
That being said, if you are on a well-fedorated instance, all page would likely be pretty similar to that. But I think such a community can potentially help smaller instances.
