  • Hey, I see you have experience with Lemmy and I don’t see any place to ask this type of questions.

    I was checking a community in an instance and realized that there were no federated posts. Are federated posts only visible from the ALL view? I was hoping for community browsing to also have a federated experience to enhance content. For example, if I want to browse the Gaming community of an instance, why shouldn’t I see gaming communities from other instances?

    I understand this type of federation would require more interaction than instance to instance federation, but still, would be amazing to see more content when checking communities.

    Isn’t general relativity just a way to interpret reality instead of what reality is?

    I mean, just a very accurate model of reality. But anything can be anything in any model, which is cool as long as the model has some kind of utility.

    (?)

    Or, are we accepting that objectively gravity is definetely not a force?

    And remember, if the page actually had useful content that wasn’t click bait or some shit. Be nice… remove the adblocker and reload.

    They gotta pay bills too, having infrastructure deployed to serve content is not free. Don’t kill their business if they have quality content.




  • platypus_plumba@sh.itjust.workstoMemesWe can all agree on that, right?

    Capitalism generally allows for a range of ownership structures, including traditional privately owned businesses, publicly traded corporations, and worker-owned enterprises.

    I guess an argument would be that privately owned companies are already too wealthy to allow for fair market competition, but in worker owned companies nothing is stopping them from becoming large corporations that can also do everything a private lobbyist company does. If you don’t believe me, just look at your democratically elected capitalist government. Just because something is democratic doesn’t mean it will be ethical or fair internally or externally.

    Personally, fuck capitalism… But everything that goes against capitalism isn’t the holy grail. Any system can be exploited in different ways, and it is just a matter of time until they are. The problem is not the system we use, the problem is corruption. Capitalism is fine IMO, but corrupted people figured out how to exploit it.




  • This is a discussion I’m also interested in. Migrating a monolith to microservices is a big decision that can have serious performance, maintainability and development impact.

    Microservices can be very complex and hard to maintain compared to a monolith. Just the deployment and monitoring could turn into a hassle for instance maintainers. Ease of deployment and maintenance is a big deal in a federated environment. Add too much complexity and people won’t want to be part of it.

    I’ve seen some teams do hybrids. Like allowing the codebase to be a single artifact or allowing it to be broken by functionalities. That way people can deploy it the easy way or the performant way, as their needs change.


  • And the fact the author dances around an idea is why I hate reading articles online or watching YouTube videos. They need to drag the content as much as possible to maximize profit. In a 10 minute video they can push more ads, the same way that in a 10 paragraph article they can push more ads in between paragraphs or on the sides.

    I think this quality of content problem vs monetization isn’t exclusive to social media.



  • If they don’t like it when people burn their books, why do Sweds keep doing it?

    Yes, I understand, they are trying to prove a point. But objectively, are they solving any problem with their actions, or just causing more problems?

    Let’s assume they stop burning the Quran, what’s the worst case scenario? Realistically, nobody is burning that book because they need to. The only thing they want is to trigger religious people, that’s is the sole purpose of it.

    — “Look how violent they become when we disrespect their God and their culture.”

    — "I know, let’s do it again. "
