More content is good in a system like Lemmy which is designed around filtering. So continue posting!

Authoritarianism - it doesn’t roll of the tongue though as you can see

How do you get that? Is there a quizz and do you get the hat?

That’s the great thing about decentralization - we can migrate very easily!

It has gotten much better. More content and general activity and nutjobs at .ml and similar got mostly isolated from the rest of the network.

I think fediverse is really shaping up as a strong reddit alternative. Most pop subjects are mirrored here and the vibe is very similar to early reddit so there no real reason to go to reddit other than super niche communities like of a tv show or something.

Most props go to the lemmy.world team as it kept a consistent big sane network running that keeps the project stable! If .world never happened I think Lemmy would have remained cess pool of social rejects like most reddit alternatives like Voat or lemmy.ml

Maybe bit it’s more likely it’s jus5 entertainment based. Women leagues are created to attract more viewers/participants.

Yes abolishing of woman sports if that helps you understand it. We can easily redesign sports grouping - it’s not nuclear weapons, not rocket science. It’s easy.

Change rooms should be unisex either way and professional sports is totally solvable - we already have weight classes etc but at the end of the day sports is just entertainment and not what we should be basing our society about. It can fuck off and disappear for all I care - plenty of other entertainment out there.

Give most of it away to free software foundation and put couple million to an low yield ethical index fund and start packing for some traveling.

LLMs actually revitalized movement to move away from excel. I think it’s done for in the next 10 years.

Not the same issue. Wayland was needed because xorg architecture just cannot be backwards compatible and would be super difficult risky to retain legacy. Not the same issue here

Bet they are not starting fresh. Instead of using 35 year old code base they are using 20 year old code base.

Nextcloud is free software (aGPL v3) though so your worries are very misleading.

I have a native meadow lawn and it’s awesome. Zero maintenance, barely any watering (just peak dry season) and incredibly beautiful. The ecosystem takes care of itself as long as you don’t buff one side by accident.

There’s difference between making an encryption tool and hiring top psychologists to design abusive systems.

What actually might help: hold people who design these tools criminally liable. Everyone knows what they are doing but you can’t really say no to your employer because “don’t worry you’re not liable” so everyone continues on building the Torment Nexus.

Out of the loop:

The systemd project merged a pull request adding a new birthDate field to the JSON user records managed by userdb, in response to age verification laws in California, Colorado, and Brazil.

Lennart Poettering clarified that this is an optional field in the userdb JSON object — not a policy engine, not an API for apps. It just defines the field so it’s standardized if people want to store the date there, but it’s entirely optional. Systemd itself does nothing with the data.

What a nothing burger

Still phone numbers are just really really bad. Like the worst thing you could possibly choose when it comes to verification.

Using phone numbers is the only real criticism imo any service that uses phone numbers is fundamentally compromised.

Once I joined a company with “unlimited paid time off” and turned out it was more like “no time off and maybe check some things on the weekends”. They also fired me day before my equity should have hit then had the audacity to ask me to organize macbook return - it’s still gathering dust on my shelf lol

Either way I still got paid a lot of money and it was a good learning though more in life lessons rather than professional experience.
