Yeah lol.. who the hell wants a nuclear power plant near their house?
Is it that hard to understand that people don't want shit like nuclear power plants, coal plants, methane plants and garbage disposals being newly built near their home?
I live in one of the most crowded countries on earth and even here we have plenty of space where a powerplant wouldn't be anywhere near a suburb. Or at least in a place where there is already a similar power plant/industry.
Obviously it's a different situation if you build houses near a power plant that has been there for years.
Sadly I think most will just switch to bluesky so they can see the next disaster of enshittification unfold.
Also it doesn't help most celebrities moved to bluesky as well. Then there is the fact you have to choose an instance on lemmy which scares most people away.
I dont get why people visit it anymore. The censorship, gatekeeping and botposting is just absolutely bonkers.
Like okay, maybe if you only watch memes and cat pictures I can kinda understand. But every single sub I've been in had an idiotic amount of gatekeeping. Just mentioning grapheneos in some subs could get you banned. Just mentioning luigi mangione could get you banned. Oh your post is falsely flagged as inappropriate? Banned, and good luck trying to appeal.
It's become an absolute dystopian shithole. Lemmy isn't perfect but at least if the host of your instance goes insane you can leave for another. And if you don't like what you see you can choose to block it.
Yeah.. I stopped eating out at places that were "just okay".
Like I'm willing to pay 4-5 euros for a "just okay" hamburger. But for 9 -15 I expect it to be top notch. If it isn't top notch I'll fire up the old frying pan myself and make a burger/fast food for like €. 3?
No one (meaning less than 1% of people) will leave windows (sadly).
People are lazy as shit and rather swipe their credit cards and buy something new with windows than to even give Linux a chance.
99% of people really don't give a shit about privacy or freedom when it comes to computers. Microsoft could slap handcuffs on them and point a camera at their screen (yes MS is already spying with telemetry, but try expaining that to a regular person) and they'd still use windows.
Yeah.. I dont see this happening. Android has 99% shovelware crap. I dont see how any professional would be able to use Android instead of Windows, MacOS or Linux.
Android is garbage, and I'm saying this as an android user... The moment a serious Linux alternative is here for phones I'm gone (yes I'm aware Android is technically also "Linux").
Just a few examples: the file system is a mess, good luck trying to easily save on network drives. There is no decent office suite and again using the files system to save documents in Android is a shitshow. There are Adobe products but they're all watered down shitty versions of the desktop ones, the alternatives are even worse. Around every corner google tries to push it's shitty cloud subscriptions, the telemetry is insane even compared to windows.
No Android is definitely not the future chromebooks were a mess too. And knowing Google they'll just give up on anything they don't seem profitable enough so even if they tried on desktop they'll just pull the plug after 2 years.
If people complain about Linux being hard... give android a try as desktop OS it's probably 10x worse. At least Linux comes with a decent office suite and decent networking capabilities.
Imagine having millions of dollars (or billions) and having enough that even the next 3 generations of your offspring wont have to work and still wanting more.

Nah, at least Thanos thought he was doing the right thing. His goals were ultimately noble but psychotic.
Elon doesn't care about doing the right thing, he only cares about money and his ego.
