I guess all the “ENHANCE” we saw in movies and tv wasn’t bs, just ahead of its time.

I always really liked South Park’s Satan when he explains addiction to Stan.

I did. Probably wasn’t worth downloading that app.

No surprise there. Was dating a girl and she asked me to sign up so she can get some discount. I already knew it was a trash app but signed up anyway, because sex.

I’ve never seen a more cancerous app in my life. Got her the discount she needed, promptly deleted my account and uninstalled.

I would imagine some of the worst are rare conditions that take you from the inside out. I can’t find reference to the name of the disease, but I swear I remember seeing a bone condition that caused spiky growths, almost like crystals, to form from your bones.

It would be slow and excruciating and you would beg for death long before it ever came.

What a silly argument. I guess next week they can donate the other half of their wealth for the next disaster and just be a broke poster on lemmy, eh?

Let’s see the receipt for your donation of .03 of your net worth, then?

Wanna see mine? I don’t have one, but I’m not sitting here complaining about people who donated 10M, either.

This is great and shows the whole picture better. I’ve seen people concerned about the drop off in daily users, but a look at the posts and comments per day seems encouraging!

I’m of the mindset, like others, that this place doesn’t need to be Reddit-big to be good, and in fact would be better off not that big. However I would definitely like to see smaller communities grow and see more posts and post variety overall, which more numbers will obviously help.

Huge plot hole that nobody’s talking about, smh.

Yes please! Lemmy.world and lemmy.ml shouldn’t make up the majority of my feed.

I think best case scenario, you have themed instances based around art, tech, politics, news, gaming, food, etc, and the largest communities are hosted there. Then you have “catch all” instances like lemm.ee which federate with everything, there can be as many of these instances as needed as the user base grows. These types of instances should be where the bulk of the new user accounts go, assuming just an average user looking for a /all replacement. Curated instances like beehaw allow for a more fine-tuned experience, but should still function basically as a catch all and not as “hosting the content” instance.

However I understand that building up to that is damn near impossible with the current infrastructure. We would basically need a means to migrate an entire community to a new instance, while simultaneously updating everybody’s subscriptions to reflect the new home of the community.

This is how Lemmy should be, with the majority of the content being hosted on themed instances. Easy to browse if you want to focus on something, otherwise use Lemm.ee or other “catch all” instances if you want a more /all experience. Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml shouldn’t host well over half the content I see. Easy targets for DDOS and then their users are screwed AND their hosted content stops federating.

Spread out is the way to go, it’s the whole point of the fediverse.

lemmyloves.art seems like a name that could catch on. I’m sure if it became a prominent art community on Lemmy people would donate to support the upkeep.

None of this applies to the average user though.

The vast majority of devices sold come with Windows or MacOS, so you’re suggesting that the average Joe should wipe their drive, pick a distro, and self-install and maintain a new operating system.

You and I know that it’s not as difficult as it sounds, but that’s asking a lot from people who can’t even bother to reboot their system when there’s been an update pending for 10 days.

Do they think they have to sit and watch them grow?..

Y’all dumb motherfuckers want a key change?

Really good read, idk what the downvotes are about.

I’ve never seen a more succinct comparison of cats and dogs.

Watched this Kurzgesagt recently, a couple minutes in he basically explains how air acts “thicker” for smaller creatures like insects. They effectively do swim through the air!

Anybody see last night’s new episode? Lmao.

No spoilers- it was a strange one and at first I was unsure how I felt about it, but they won me over with the brief Klingon bit.

Copy that, thank you!

I spun up Ubuntu on a Linode so it should be up all the time. I check the Linode dash fairly often and haven’t seen any issues with it.
