  • Can you guys please fuck off with this communism bullshit?

  • It's the entry drug to communism, and then eventually to tankyism...

  • If one instance gets too big they could just ignore the standard and start adding random tweaks to it. And all the others would eventually have to adapt to that or risk becoming irrelevant by being incompatible with the big instance.

  • Meanwhile in the EU: sleep

  • You can go into the view history and remove all the bad videos.

    My mom has a similar problem with animal videos. She likes watching farm videos where sometimes there's animals giving birth... And those videos completely ruin the algorithm. After that she only gets animals having sex, and the animal fighting and killing eachother.

  • This is why I dislike eating at other people's places...

  • Why does that site have to look like a Geocities site that some 12 year old girl made..?

  • The loss of potential growth opportunity... And all the potential negative effects happen anyway, no matter if you federate or not.

  • Both those things literally happen with 100% certainty and instantly when you defederate...

    Meta is not going to go away or fail somehow just because everyone defederates from them!

  • What good does that do the small instances? And how does that harm Meta?

    All that happens is:

    • The small instances won't get the extra activity that Meta users might bring
    • Meta will not get the small amount of existing content on those small instances

    That's more a loss for us.

  • I really don't understand this logic... There is literally absolute no advantage by not federating with Meta.

    Why would users prefer the free Fediverse MORE if it's not federated with the "big and good" Metaverse? If anything it just drives them away into Metas arms, because the non-Meta instances are small and all the stuff is on Meta anyway.

    Defederating is just the worst case result, but instantly from the beginning... How does that do any good???

  • My teeth are just really tightly togheter... I have absolutely no idea where an interdental brush would even go, it just bends and breaks if I try to push it between my teeth. Even getting the floss in there is already hard.

  • connect it to a 5 TB hard disk (initially) and dump all my data into it

    Don't forget about backups! That 5TB drive can die at any random moment.

  • You probably can't judge the loss in user count anyway. 99% of the users never actively contribute anything, not even upvotes or so.

  • Where do those books even come from? And why do the people not just contribute them to libgen instead of locking them behind some obscure tech?

  • The crab is public domain, so you can use it to advertise your own Rust project or whatever. The gear logo belongs to the Rust foundation, which sparked some controversy a while ago.

  • Because that's not how professional software development works. You don't actually get free programmers because most of the time your customers are not techy people.

    E.g. if I develop some special software for dentists or whatever, and I open source it, all I get is that someone else builds the code and distributes it for free so I can't easily sell it anymore.
