I think that’s their point. You wouldn’t have a choice again if Intel goes out of business.

Or chicken breasts. That’s how you end up a greentext.

It’s been that for a while. Tumblr’s had it a while, between the earlier days of the user base, and the site not being the most well-coded thing compared to Twitter or Reddit.

Linking to the evergreen College Dropout GoFundMe CEO skit.

“I run a website that hosts popularity contests, and if you lose, you die!”

Maybe it’s cascade effects? Something depends on something else, which depends on a third thing that depends on AWS for something?

It would be interesting what kind of effects this might have on the mice, since they would be used to mouse estrous cycles, rather than human ones.

What do you like better here than on Reddit?

The interfaces are better, and being able to integrate with mastodon is interesting.

What do you miss from Reddit?

The size of the communities, really. On Reddit, a lot of the subs have grown big enough that they can maintain themselves, whereas here, they’re pretty much dead without input. A few of the more interesting counterpart communities that I would frequent a tonne on Reddit are dead now, and if you’re just one user, it does feel like spam to try and contribute to it constantly.

It’s really only a limit subset of communities that seem very active at all, and they are generally news or politics based.

Do you feel the culture here is genuinely different, or does it eventually drift the same way?

Bit of both. The culture in the larger communities would drift the way of Reddit just by volume, but the smaller ones are a bit more unique, and not always in a good way. Because Lemmy is a bit more tech-focused, I find a lot of the main medium-sized communities tend to have similar abrasiveness you see a bit in tech, though it can depend on both community and server.

They do call it a Hellsite for many reasons. Not being profitable is one of them.

At the same time, it has calmed down a bit as the user base has aged up, and the more volatile elements have left for bluer skies.

Oddly enough, other than the mess of the NSFW filter, it’s been fairly controversy free. You can still use their API without paying globs of money, for example. Twitter and Facebook have all thrown that out, and Reddit has made other bad decisions, in addition to imploding their third party app ecosystem.

IMO the appeal isn’t the actual breakfast in bed, it’s having your partner care for you enough to make you breakfast and bring it to you.

Lately, she doesn’t even wake up and she just kinda turns in her sleep and whacks me in the face like she’s hitting the snooze button. It’s… admittedly been very effective.

Cat energy

I don’t think a non-Fediverse person would be very familiar with Mastodon. They’d be more likely to go “What, like elephants?”.

I would keep it really simple, and just go for “Reddit alternative”. The whole Federation and decentralised business is going to be a sledgehammer if you introduce it to someone who’s not familiar with the concept.

Then you shit out the slop content and hope your channel picks up. If it fails to drive numbers you abandon it and start with the next channel with the next topic variation. If you get lucky and the algorithm blesses you, you continue to shit out hundreds of videos.

I’m not even sure that you would have to do the abandoning part. There’s likely toolkits that let you upload to multiple channels at once. You can just start them up and spread them out as you wish.

Why abandon a channel when it costs nothing to upload to it, and it might go viral one day?

A lot of older videos can be randomly promoted by the algorithm.

Everyone on Reddit Lemmy is a bot, except you.

Firstly, that clip shows nothing about the driver’s current speed, only that everyone is driving the same speed.

You cannot do 140 km/h down the interstate, just as you do not do 100 km/h down a residential street or a main road. That’s a pretty notable difference. No-one does that.

An extra 15 miles an hour is a pretty significant difference basically everywhere, unless you’re on the Autobahn or something.

No it isn’t. No normal person drives 30 kilometers over the speed limit. You don’t go into a school zone doing 40 mi/h.

At the very least, we know that they’re chemically inert, but the current school of thought is that they might cause trouble as a result of that, by physically obstructing things, even if they don’t otherwise cause problems.

It does vary. My Thinkpad (T490s) is awful if you want to do more than replace the battery and main drive, despite being a used office machine.

To replace the keyboard for example, you basically have to disassemble the entire laptop, since the frame is a single unit, and the keyboard sits under it, sandwiched under the motherboard and case.

At the same time, she is also a public figure. If they had treated her well, they would have less of a leg to stand on. Whereas mistreating her just raises the question that if they are treating a relatively known public figure in that way, what happens to the less-known people, who don’t have as much of a platform to speak out on.

It would at least be a little more understandable, what with the whole aborting, terminating, or killing children before the parents to prevent zombies.
