A lot of it is in the design stage tbf. If features/UI can be cut or simplified then it can make a big difference. Performant code is good and the tech stack you choose also matters.

Fracturing the space is way more destructive than whatever you mean by destructive moderating, since the moderating will only affect some communities and even within that, some users while defederating will split the user base.

Old.reddit still works

Fast charging is 100% convenience for the end user and marketing material for the company. Fast charging is just dumping more electrons into a battery quicker than slow charging. I don’t think battery tech has adapted that much to be able to handle this so AFAIK we’re just normalising abusing our batteries. Did read an article that batteries that we’re slow charged, also discharged slower as well.

Gonna add on to this, most people are right in saying get a low amp charger(amps are the more important that volts afaik) 1A is easiest to source but did see a .5A one time. Don’t leave charging at 100% for long periods of time.

What is missing from the comments IMO is anyone talking about how you use your phone. Minimise screen time and bloated software that is always running/sending data. Lineage (or graphene OS since you’re on a pixel) with no google apps will prolong your battery. For now I’ve just got some banking apps, molly(signal fork), jerboa and slack on my phone. My 3000mAh battery from 2016 is now lasting over 24 hours instead of less than 8 hours when using mainstream social media apps.

But they are useful and completely valid ways of dealing with the problem.

It is not the end of the world if I have to click am extra once or twice to change the language. Hell most websites have much harder processes just to reject cookies.

Personally I would rather err on the side of slightly extra work the odd time I’m not on a website not in my native language than have an extra bit of information that can be used to track me.

Again take a look at the Gemini protocol, its a perfectly fine browsing experience without all the cruft.

I just used it as an example since it’s pretty much the lingua franca of the internet and it’s what we are currently using. The same argument applies to any other language.

My main point with that bit was that a lot of content exists on the internet without any translated versions and the world hasn’t ended because of this, look at non English Lemmy instances.

Some widely spoken language I imagine, Chinese, Spanish, English I don’t care. Since .com is intended for commercial use, the language of the companies biggest market makes sense here as well.

You’re also forgetting that the likes of google.ru, google.nl and google.every_other_country_code exist.

Also there are plently of websites the have language selection in the site that overrides that header, look at Wikipedia.

There are plently of sites in non english languages that cater to non English speakers only, not every site has or needs 10 different translations.

At this point we also have translation engines in the browser so for pages in languages you don’t know, that you absolutely need to access, you can use it to understand the page to a decent level and/or be able to navigate to a version in your language if available.

Fuck that shit.

• You can do language codes in the URL to serve different versions of content
• If your browser can do TLS then it should be able to handle gzip content or alternatively if the internet didn’t allow cookies and scripting in your browser then it would have been safe to use TLSs built in compression

Check out the Gemini protocol if you want to see that a lot of HTTP spec stuff is completely unnecessary

In this analogy it could be that:

• the filesystem is git and the porn is source code
• the file is git and the data is source code
• you don’t consider the source code because you can host anything on github
• we shouldn’t be reading into the analogy this deeply because its a silly analogy meant for absolute beginners

I agree that porn is a nsfw way to explain something in a lot of scenarios but I disagree about people needing to know at least the names of a technology from an explanation.

Most people don’t need to know or care about the names to understand or use them. Knowing the names after I learnt the commands did not give me greater insight into how the tool works.

If they are just being introduced to git and github then they are likely new to programming and have much more important things to care about like learning their first programming language or understanding how their teams project actually works.

A place to host gits is a perfectly good explanation for anyone who is new to it.

How many people use Pornhub for discovery though? I usually find interesting content through a search engine, through word of mouth, through posts on here, etc. at which point it doesn’t really matter where the porn is hosted. A lot of the useful content I use aren’t even on Pornhub.

Seriously though, I agree with you, githubs value to open source is not it’s discover-ability. Personally I think its value comes from the stability, as much as I’m an advocate for self-hosting I know from the amount of dead links on the internet that we could have lost a lot of projects or at least they would move about as hosts went down.

I quite like the idea of federated gitea, although technically there is already a federated platform for porn if you count Lemmy and/or mastadon.

I’m not a fan of either and would advocate everyone not consume large amounts of video content because of how heavy it is from an environmental point of view and move away from corporations from an anticapitalist/freedom point if view.

Let’s not kid ourselves though, as shit as twitch is, it does not come close to having the same grip google has on the internet and our lives.

Peertube is a completely different platform, perhaps you’re mixing it up with YouTube clients like newpipe or invidious?

Should be called intensely_inhumane 🤣

School shouldn’t be like prison and neither should prison tbh.

Prison is designed as a punishment, its pretty problematic to want children to go through a similar system in their formative years, nevermimd that there is so much evidence that prison doesn’t even work and just causes worse outcomes.

Treat someone like a criminal they will act like a criminal.

There’s no two sides here, the aguments about distractions and agency fall apart when you compare countries like Sweden and Denmark where they don’t have uniforms and allow the students lot more agency, against countries like the US, UK and Ireland where they infantalise their students and in the UK’s and Ireland’s case uniforms are mandatory.

The Nordic countries have way better school performance scores.

On what?

There is nothing on there that you couldn’t find an equivalent of in text form(web or paper) or in the millions of hours of TV and film available on and off the web(both legal and not so legal) or on other platforms like twitch/nebula/peertube/lbry.

Peace is a white mans word.

Injustice will continue to happen under peace, just as it has on and off for 75 years in Palestine.

Liberation is the term used by black civil rights activists in America. Liberation is the tern used by indigenous rights groups the works over. Liberation is the term used by anti-colonial movements. Liberation was the term used by the resistance in ww2.

You trying to paint someone advocating for the oppressed as a Nazi is one of the laziest piece of shit moves when you don’t do the same for those perpetrating a genocide.

Hitler did not liberate Germany, you’re projecting your genocidal views on the rest of us.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/liberation

an occasion when something or someone is released or made free:

The first fucking example:

the liberation of France from Nazi occupation

And you’re a bootlicking fool who’s argument doesn’t even hold true to what we’ve seen in Israel.

Even after what Israel and western media have made out to be the biggest horror of our time, Israelis are still risking police violence and imprisonment to protest the injustice of Israels actions.

I’d rather preserve my rights because if I lose my rights, I can do jack shit for anyone else.

You might as well have lost them for as much good as you are doing for anyone else.

I support liberation you just support peace so you can sleep at night.

There can not be peace without liberation and violence is a tool to be used when every peaceful method has failed.

Violence got Irish Catholics self determination and equality in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Violence got the civil rights movement in America to where it is now.

Violence keeps neo-nazis underground in a lot of places.

Resistance to oppression is not an end, it’s not even a means to an end. It’s a right enshrined by international law.

No, there was a massive Arab immigration into the area following WW1 and the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

and the fall of the Ottoman Empire

This was a claim you made it turned out to be false.

The claim that there was mass immigration after ww1 I don’t think can be proven because the first modern census was in 1922.

I’d love for you to provide a source for your claim and prove me wrong.
