I don’t see the lemmy model failing. So, as others, I think is more of a solution in search for a problem.

In general I don’t see any reason to leave Lemmy right now.

Also I don’t think things will keep simple with that model. I see a lot of underlying complexities that the current formula does not have.

Maybe it would be a better to try that model on a fediverse area with less success than lemmy.

Peertube is really struggling for instance. Not really on the developer side of things but on the content creators. Maybe a coop of content creators for peertube could me something that is needed on the fediverse.

Full price Stellaris is 322€… Let that sink in.

I’m physically unable to make 8 in binary with my fingers.

My finger just refuses to go up by itself, it will just go up with its friends.

Why rely on google which is going down on reliability so quickly.

What we need is a GOOD lemmy based search engine. Which I think is entirely possible with current lemmy implementation.

Have you ever lived in a building block?

I don’t know in other countries. In Spain we have horizontal property law, that means that a building block is managed by all it’s members. Probably the same in other countries but IDK.

The thing is that it is a NIGHTMARE. We have not one, but two of the most famous spanish comedy shows are about how hellish building block communities are.

I know cases were old people have to walk stairs everyday because other members of the block refuse to put an elevator. I wouldn’t want to know what would happen if a few buildings could just choose not to put plumbing, or not to put traffic lights.

And if I’m correct the US equivalent would be this communities in the suburbs that make “law” that you cut your lawns at 3 inches tall exactly every sunday a 7:03 am, exactly. And become extremely anal to everyone complying to their ridiculous aesthetic ideas.

People in small communities can be incredibly shitty. I feel like bigger communities tend to grant more rights to people and ensure those rights are applied.

Everything is already decentralized if you think about. There is no central Earth government.

We may be thinking about what size we want communities to be. My answer is that it depends on the community. Climate change council? Probably needs to be a global community. Street cleaning? City level community. And so on.

Instance picking can be overwhelming. Making people just not even try it.

I do think a big challenge for the fediverse is how to ease that. And make it like e-mail where @whocares is not that important and it’s easy to actually have a custom domain/instance.

And, of course, to achieve this instance admins should be really be responsible with defederations and bans. And only use it as last resort, probably only because of legal reasons. Not because “I don’t like that instance admins main political thesis”. Probably that kind of blocks are better to be left to the user.

Thanks for make me realize that I had that big of a timespan to live in a beautiful mossy earth and I just missed it and landed on scorched land earth.

For small boilerplate or very common small pieces of code, for instance a famous algorithm implementation. Yes. As they are just probably giving you the top stack overflow answer for a classic question.

Anything that the LLM would need to mix or refactor would be terrible.

In Spain we did have to memorize it. Truly idiotic. People just invented mnemonic phrases to get through the exam and that’s it. It served no educational purpose whatsoever.

I’m pretty sure that telegrams do collaborate a lot when it comes to crimes.

Pretty sure that this is a copyright thing as always. I get several scams tries each month on WhatsApp and phone call. But they don’t care about people trying to steal actual money, they just care if I use telegram to watch a TV show without letting Disney murder my wife.

Oh no! Putin please do not take homophobes away from my country, oh no…

I would be so mad if suddenly homophobes went to Russia. They would really own me if they all decided to go to Putinland.

Being able to prioritize what needs to be done now and what could take 4 days, and what can simply not be done is an art.

Both on the sender and de receiver.

Yes. The act of voting a comment up or down shouldn’t be much different to hitting reply to that comment.

Upvote/downvote systems do exist to overcome those “+1” “-1” posts on old forums. You are not voting for the legislative elections. You are just interacting with another person comment/post in a way that does not require writing. If post comments, are not anonymous, upvotes/downvotes shouldn’t be anonymous as well.

All my homies search for apps first in F-Droid and only use google play if there is no other option.

I’d love to keep doing so, but never found a quiet place to do so on a regular basis. My new house is too noisy at all times.

And I cannot meditate with neighbors noise.

When I used to do I did before sleeping and greatly improved sleep quality for me.

Probably by people conquered by him. People riding by his side probably would have a different view of him.

A good though to have in ones mind when thinking about this topics is that you will probably be seen as someone horrible and barbaric with evil-morals by future standards.

AFAIK if you open an instance videos are hosted in your instance, and may be replicated in other instances via Federation.

Also it supposedly can work p2p if mutiple users are watching the same video it distributed the download. In my experience nowadays it always end using http download.

Moderation an everything about ita users fall into the instance host and moderators. I don’t know if you can do an approval system, I would suppose so, but I’m not certain.

Everyone say to use an AdBlock. And while for now they work it’s a lose battle.

Youtube ads vs adblockers does not have the happy ending of adblockers just always prevailing.

As now embedded serverside ads are a pain to deal with. I don’t know if any adblock currently can surpass those.

But next step will be youtube just putting a fence up and not letting you watch content unless you are registered, and thus banning any suspicious activity, or even just becoming a paid service.

The only win here is moving to a open platform like Peertube. That’s the only future we can ensure. Adblocks won’t be able to always win.
