It’s always a good idea to check out your instance policies. Mine blocks porn, for example. It’s a very important lens through which you will view the network.

It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to register for an instance that has very different beliefs from your own, unless that’s expressly what you want for educational purposes.

Maybe we do want a minimum barrier to entry that involves the slightest amount of patience and forethought.

Maybe just maybe a link aggregator and discussion platform doesn’t need to make money. Maybe it can just be good and make the users happy.

A democracy, if you can keep it, in a sense. Lemmy is healthy. Time will tell if the idea works, but I think it is a huge advantage tearing away corporate ownership and really investing in a platform that is owned by its users.

Onboarding process is definitely smoother, and we fixed a lot of the Federation bugs. Usability is an all-time high. I don’t know what the critical mass is, but we are definitely gaming momentum.

Perhaps he would be willing to offer a public apology and an agreement to step down?

Nah. Still no.

It’s part of a larger trend where technology isn’t serving the interests of the people who use it.

I get that this is the point of the article, but wow seeing an ad in your car makes it look cheap as fuck.

There’s a chance I might tolerate it on a rental, but not on something I own. Absolutely not.

The software is arrogant and needs to know its place. It serves the user. It should obey.

Our computer.

Definitely do not buy Shark products. They used to be good, but maintaining any of their stuff now feels like it was intentionally designed to rip you off.

I have their old vacuum cleaner that I’ve repaired five times and I’m never getting rid of it.

Less guesswork. Of course it’s not going to be complete. But it’s nice.

The memes have always belonged to the people, not to Reddit.

I’m not sure there would be an advantage. The signals are very different. That might be approximately equal to building a new one.

Not just old people. I had a heart monitor a couple years ago that’s only made for 2G.

Alright maybe I’m getting old but that’s not the point.

When I was visiting the Caribbean they also had a lot of 2G infrastructure still operating.

Sure hope that the FAA has the actual people with skills to look into these problems.

Who am I kidding? It’s rather unlikely that issues are going to get investigated properly anymore. A few weeks will pass and they’ll just stamp it as “we didn’t find anything” because we didn’t look.

You’ve also got a 20% chance that there isn’t even a real position open and this is a market survey, and a 20% chance that management already selected who they’re going to hire in advance and is doing this job posting purely as a formality.

For building a quick template that I can tweak to my needs, it works really well. I just don’t find it to be an intuitive scripting language.

Well, I’m kind of stuck with it at this point. I appealed it and they never answered. Not much I can do. Oh well.

That’s OK. Reddit later forced my account from my hands and I no longer have access to it. So it’s not my problem.

They decided to ban me but keep the posts. Their loss.
