I’ve been around for this kind of thing. Similar to grants. When the money is flowing, management just goes around and earmarks various things on the budget sheets and asks the data folks for reports to back it up. Some of it could be true. Most of it is a stretch.
Wowww really hope these guys face consequences. Totally inappropriate behaviour.
I basically only go there when DDG hasn’t indexed the Stack Exchange/Overflow Q&A I’m looking for.
Also decentralized SE/SO when?
Yeah I’ve seen this happen in real time. Maybe a little slower, but still inexorably.
keep…going
But I really really agree with it. I’d like to see the culture around here step up a little bit. Circlejerks and shitposting communities are one thing, but not everything has to be a joke. And certainly not the same joke, over and over again and again.
What’s wrong with Discourse? I ran a server during college for a couple of buddies and it was totally owned and operated by us, no corpos or anything. It’s just like phpbb or any other forum software AFAIK.
Proof the system works right here.
I can understand this perspective: wanting to spread the gospel of federation, etc.
But I’m starting to come around to the realization that the growth mindset is rotten. It’s what leads to these big centralized/unified platforms that concede on their core in order to reach a wider audience.
I can’t blame corpos for conceding away all identity, because engagement is how they make money, but what’s our excuse?
These aren’t refugees. They’re free to make a lemmy or masto or whatever account any time they want. We don’t have a problem with most of the people. It’s the platform, and all the fucking out and proud racists who are on it.
My grandma who owned a diner used to say the same thing, but about cops
I might join you. I know some k8s and shit, if you need a hand admin-ing. Actually since my instance is likely federating with threads, I was looking at pulling my account and donation eventually anyway.
Don’t be obtuse, you know exactly what they meant: low effort “quippy,” dare I say it: Whedon-esque comments, that you can predict before even opening the comments.
A flawed democracy is still better than no democracy
It’s not over yet, friend. There are still things worth fighting for, and still so, so much more we could lose. Don’t give up hope.
It’s exactly the kind of cynical doomerism I was looking to get away from
I think you can disable taskbar notifications. Nice wallpaper :)
UNacceptable
Sounds like they have Rick Sanchez is custody over there
