You can easily make this argument towards teenagers as well, but they're obviously illegible. Yet their rights and futures are being stripped away by the elderly.
There should absolutely be a hard cap and Senators should also be forced to use the services they provide (i.e. stop making millions stock trading) post retirement so it's guaranteed to be beneficial.
Off topic question, don't you guys think splintering the Android community into multiple communities specifically for certain things when there are so few people on the Lemmy platform will lead to the instance becoming driy without content? Not sure if there's been discussion about this yet.
It's also important to note that Google is doing this already as well. It's almost impossible to use Google with my VPN provider as I'm slammed with 5 captchas every Google.
I've had an account for almost 10 years that I use at least every other day at work, and have seen plenty of questions I CAN answer but apparently don't have the "reputation" to.
A month late but - Highly recommend Severance, it's fantastic and touches that same mystery as Dark all around phenomenal. Another really good one is The Devil's Hour. It's basically the exact same genre type as Dark, albeit the directing work is quite a bit more rough. The plot and is still really good though and I love Peter Capaldi.
Definitely true, totally forgot about breaking events in my original comment. I would say it still lands in bucket B as it's algorithmically fed at least in my experience as I don't follow many news sources directly, it just finds its way into my feed via the algorithm.
when people are going to Mastodon with breaking news is when we'll know twitter is completely dead.
Ironically the two are only half way competing with each other. There's two buckets of twitter peeps:
A) People who keep up with specific people, reducing day by day.
B) The for you page peeps. The vast majority of people I know on Twitter including myself are there for the algorithm feeding us memes and content. Specifically the 2016-2021 algorithm.
Considering mastodon doesn't have any form of FYP/For you it's really only competing for bucket A which in my experience has reduced by an incredible amount in the past few years and continues to reduce and makes it useless to a large majority of twitter users.
Unfortunately or fortunately twitters algorithm also sucks now so there's a pretty big market gap here.
Why should Stack Overflow (part of Prosus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosus ) be welcomed when Meta / Threads is shunned for being a big corporate evil company?
Being shunned from the Fediverse for being a corporate (evil or not) company is an inherently bad way to think about the Fediverse.
The beauty of the Fediverse is that it's open to everyone and free (minus hosting prices/your data) to join, if we suddenly say we're banning every corporation, then we're a bit of a joke of a platform as that's the exact opposite intention. While defederation exists it's a joke to assume every huge instance will decouple from every major corporation.
Yes it is not optimal that an application such as Threads can adopt the protocol, but generally unless they destroy the protocol itself (highly unlikely) it'll only affect competitors in direct competition like Mastadon. Even whilst being affected the main user base should remain as it's currently made up of like minded individuals who despise corporations, respect our data privacy etc
Tagging onto this: Does anyone know of the easiest way to backfill Immich with photos from Google photos all at once besides manually downloading them from the Photos site?
Less reliance on a single instance means, the single instance is less likely to fuck over their members (via advertising or data sharing)
Less likely of a situation where one instance can create a sort of monopoly of Lemmy communities and take them private via defederation, leading everyone to join that singular Lemmy instance to see the content.
High interest rates also affect the working class via mortgage increases and Rental properties increasing rent to deal with increased interest rates.
