There's some people on here trying to make Lemmy like Reddit was when Reddit's idea of communicating in 2016 and onwards.

Let's not let that happen.

If allowing over 300,000 people to die by a manageable pandemic didn't change their minds.

If two impeachments didn't change their minds.

If the campaign trail consisting of yelling about babbling nonsense didn't change their minds.

If being induced to get involved in an insurrection where now many members are finding themselves jailed didn't change their minds.

What makes anyone think a guilty verdict would?

Fuck you Intuit. Ha, what're you going to do now? Sue the IRS?

Narrator: They will try.

...That's because maybe you got them used or something? Like, name me one retail store back then selling games for $5 just out of the blue. I won't wait because you wouldn't come up with anything.

You are mixing used markets with retail prices here. Just stop embarrassing yourself.

For all we know, could be some fat teenager doing it for the "lulz" or just "winning" by owning them libs.

One would and wouldn't be surprised. I just abandoned a texas poker app on mobile and it's sickening to see how many people pay up cheaters just to get billions and even a trillion chips. Then I see them on the table and they always win.

And once news stopped covering it, that's when shit hit the fan.

And they'll probably be killed and that'll be that. Yay, China... /s

I read all of this and totally agree. I got a good laugh out of the snippet of the comment you pulled about making a radio out of coconuts on a desert island example. Because you know that's pretty damn true.

What I find obnoxious with Linux and always had to this day, was the pretentiousness of some users that will spend any waking minute to browbeat anyone into using Linux. They always show up whenever someone has something to complain about with Microsoft Windows, big or small. Never fails, both ironically and unironically.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, THE moment people realize how much tinkering they'll have to spend time at the terminal for, will turn them away from Linux. Yeah sure you've got the software library manager which is leaps and bounds an improvement. But by and large, you will still do a lot of installing, configuring, troubleshooting and more with the terminal. You're going to be required to know commands and it's going to require a lot of time at the search engine.

And nearly nobody has the patience for that at all. They want a computer and they want the operating system to do everything they want it to do for them. Windows just does that for them and more.

Linux to me, will always be a OS of choice for any laptop new or old that I get. It will never have a sniff at taking over my desktop because I just know that if I ran a Linux OS full-time everyday, that my limits will have been exhausted and I'll be running back to Windows in no time. All because Linux can't do everything I would want it to do, despite the progress it has made and it's progress that shouldn't be scoffed at either considering the long way it has come to be where it is today.

People who proudly proclaim they're going to Linux whenever MIcrosoft shoots their feet off, is just making a rebellious statement. Who knows for real as to how comfortable they'd really be if they were using Linux 24/7.

I'm on Windows 10 and it hasn't deleted anything I've pirated.

If this was true, my entire music collection, emulated games, the ebooks .etc would be all gone by now and I'd have nothing.

But yet, they remain.

You're not even safe from deleting your account.

You delete your account, come back with a new one to find that the suggested people are people you once had as friends or looked at.

Gee, wonder how they know that? /s

 

For example, I sometimes do want to vote for Trump. Not because I like the man. Not because I find him as a credible leader, in fact, he's a murderer in my eyes by negligence because of his handling of the 2020 COVID Pandemic.

But I want to vote for him because of all of the collective amount of stupidity I see society spiraling into and almost at a stunning level of complacency. We complain more than we do. We nitpick and cherry pick anything from anyone that isn't warranted and make a big deal of it like someone's post on social media.

We continue feeding into the things we cry about being bad. Just so much fucking stupidity at competing levels that challenges the previous record.

And I want to vote for someone who is as destructive as Trump, as a means of just punishment because of this. It's like, society doesn't learn as much as it should, so fuck you, have another 4 years of this asshole and this next set will most likely be the kind where we'll see irreversible damage.

All because of society's obliviousness and idiocy.

Like seriously, where are the current ones at? There's too much trash and clutter posts here.

 

With Lemmy - I can block whomever is bothering me and I will not see their posts ever again. I can see their notifications and they somehow can keep responding to me (which ought to be worked on). But erasing their existence on my end should be a thing when you don't want to deal with them.

Lemmy and other federated spots, allow me to make posts that I would otherwise get faulted for if I tried them on Reddit. Like on AskReddit, they don't like it when you ask a question and try to put something in the message body for clarification or it gets removed.

So you have to spend time making another comment to clarify with the possibility of it not being understood anyways because hey, hindsight users.

The karma system on the fediverse does not necessarily impact how much you can post and where you can post. Probably one of the big differences between Lemmy and Reddit for example. If you had negative karma on Reddit, good luck trying to post anywhere because you'll get nagged with Captcha systems.

And good luck posting anywhere you'd like on different subreddits because they'll just outright remove your posts automatically because an arbitrary karma count wasn't met and no subreddit is transparent about it.

 

I for example, expect him to no longer require nutrition labels to be on packaged and canned foods. We're all just going to have to eat what we can and play it by portion sizes.

I also expect him to roll back and undo safety regulations within the food industry.

I'm pretty sure he's going to roll back just about everything Biden has done.

He'll make sure the filibuster is gone so that everything he wants to do will just be on the express lane.

 

When we sleep, we are technically half-dead. So, wouldn't it be safe to say that everyone currently living has died many times?

 

Especially if you get an entire string of them because somehow you didn't do it right.

 

Look at this fucking mess with these bots and lonely losers with too much time on their hand. They've all taken a dump on multiple instances and magazines.

Is this the kind of future we've got to look forward to on the Fediverse?

 

I forced myself to go back a little to Reddit recently. Because while I endorse and love the existence of the Fediverse, I can't in good conscience, tolerate the instability of it. Any other time I go somewhere, I'm met with a page that says KBin is working on resolving issues, then I go somewhere else and it's fine.

Sometimes commenting takes a little lag, requiring me to click twice, this happens when I'm even commenting to other instances from KBin, like to Lemmy.

I understand that the fediverse isn't as well maintained and operational as most centralized social media sites. But if it could smooth and iron out these issues, then it would be more of an attractant to gain users.

Because not only do users seek alternatives to go, but they'd love it if there was stability in functionality.

 

Social media platform Reddit has struck a deal with Google to make its content available for training the search engine giant's artificial intelligence models, three people familiar with the matter said.
