When Indians want to chat online, I don’t think they’ll speak English with other Indians.

American culture has and likely always will dominate any general audience English speaking online community. It’s just a matter of population.

I never missed a US instance because LW is so US focused I assumed it was the main one.

We don’t need a US instance, we need more users to support active local communities.

You can’t give away free software as open source and then start demanding royalties. Fuck Matt Mullenweg.

It would have to be something like a per-community karma score to ensure it can’t be used out of context and to reduce the benefits of gaming the number.

I could also see a use for per-instance karma which only counts upvotes from users on that instance.

For example if I make a mainstream post on the election at lemmy.world and all the users from Hexbear downvote it, that shouldn’t affect my rep with lemmy.world admins, but Hexbear admins would appreciate knowing their local users consider me unacceptably capitalist.

It was taken out of the API about a year ago if I recall correctly.

It’s a good thing because people tried to use it for moderation decisions like Reddit, but it’s even more of a useless riggable metric on Lemmy.

So the community decided we’re better off without it.

What’s wrong with a little gamification to encourage civic responsibility?

I need another sticker for my coffee jar:

It’s a clbuttic mistake.

Yes that’s exactly what I said 🤡

Movies have flopped this hard before, it’s like when they made Catwoman and decided they’d rather shelve it and take the tax write off.

I checked the publication date and it was not April 1, so I assume they’re serious.

Sabotage does not cause “avoided emissions”, those products are still going to be made in a different factory, PLUS additional CO2 emissions to repair sabotage.

It’s like claiming you stopped clear cut logging by burning down the forest.

That’s a slightly revisionist history. ATI was by no means “circling the drain”, they had a promising new GPU architecture soon to be released, and remember this because I bought ATI stock about 6 months before the merger.

It boggles the mind that AMD realized the importance of GPUs 20 years ago when they bought ATI and in all that time Intel still doesn’t have a competitive GPU.

So… “most people don’t challenge their own beliefs”

Wut?

Or maybe it’s the wrong language for the task. Macromedia flash is pretty good for animated websites, an enterprise asset management system, not so much.

My current cross to bear in an app written in Mulesoft because “it’s great with Salesforce” but completely unsuited for bulk data transfers.

Sucks to be stuck with bad choices made before you got there.

But people are constantly buying millions of both, so makes sense to have small yearly updates and major revisions every few years.

Which is basically how both phones and cars are developed now.
