She/Her - I think the pfp is from Super Alloy Ranger
Do fact-check me on stuff
you just underestimated these general instances of Lemmy
500~ people come to this forum a month
“I prefer a distribution which is supported by game publishers.” feels like it sets bad expectations considering it’s just “do you want a stable Debian/Ubuntu distro?” and ‘game publishers’ might be a little out of date with their wording/justification
They’re not really backing their claim up though in regards to “related to admins” and “admins are deleting other people’s warnings”.
And as far as I know the torrent has been pulled even.
Sometimes I check out /r/technology and /r/worldnews through libdirect proxy, as well as the slightly more occasional tech-support hunt, but I don’t feel the need to interact with it.
Saw a thread of people circlejerking “fuck spez” and giving a bunch of rewards to each other under a thread where /r/space was reannounced, and I was so surprised these people thought they were doing anything
Could be very “useful” for VR hardware I think (for better or for worse)
As the article says, no doubt a snails-pace journey as W11 still needs to expire in 10 years at the very least
Sorry, (now edited) I had stressed it from the sub-title a bit as well
What do you mean doing monotonous tasks for a week so you can get 2 bucks isn’t engaging?!
I think that misses the point of the post as Zizek argues the shaking of order as things are now will lead to more right wing authoritarianism.
nah don’t worry, Manjaro users will tell you they use Manjaro
Who are you and how’d you get into my house?!
Entirely speculation, but I think this might be why some of the dominoes are already falling?
Like maybe all the ads pulled out of Twitter and saw that it didn’t impact the ad companies very much?
If so, it could be the true end to Web 2.0
I’m no expert, but I found this blogpost insightful: BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization
The more I read about BS’s protocol, the more I think this is done on purpose.
Why? Because it allows BS to pay lip service to decentralization, without actually giving away the power in the system.
[…]
Another pretty good sign that BS’s decentralization is actually b.s. is the fact that the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) used by BlueSky are currently “temporarily” not actually decentralized. The protocol uses something imaginatively called “DID Placeholder”. If I were a betting man I would bet that in five years it will keep on using the centralized DID Placeholder, and that that will be a root cause of a lot of shenanigans.
[…]
it decentralizes the cost to the central authority by pushing data load onto volunteers, while planning to keep control by being the biggest kid on the “reach” block.
I’m kinda pissy cause the guy never even responded to being made aware of data like this and that
(i feel confident that he saw my comment cause he replied directly at my first one in the thread)
With that said, it wouldn’t surprise me if Scalability and Funding were big issues. In regards to new user experience, I personally think https://joinmastodon.org/ does a great job, though maybe is a bit wordy in comparison to any ‘sign up and type’ social media

We just need a way to filter posts and everyone would be happy
Kinda weird that they already advertise it as open source when they haven’t done that yet
fuck those officials, what were they doing for 10 hours, what have they been doing since these incidents started? idk kinda easy to be mad still
if it’s mandatory to make an instagram account still, there’s literally no point to use it over instagram
