  • Why the no?

    It's local only, and actually used to improve the product as opposed to being another shitty chatbot.

    This is how it should be done.

  • You just completely switch the argument with a red herring.

    It doesn't matter whether that person is a safe gun owner or not here. And a lost round of ammunition is such an armchair take it makes me question if you should even have an opinion on the subject...

    A round of ammunition in your bag should not equate to years of prison, end of story.

    I had a box of .22 rounds in my backpack that I was bringing back from the gun store. Lo and behold it was loose, and some had unknowingly fell into my bag. I didn't notice they were there for years until I did a deep clean of my backpack. No one counts throw-away ammunition.

  • Oh look, another "We're not doing enough" doomsayer dismissing good news because no one else is allowed to celebrate positive things.

  • Oof, this is definitely a:

    Every lie incurs a debt to the truth

    Sort of thing. It's not going to be fun when your child understands that there is no school on weekends, you'll lose a lot of trust overnight with this.

  • Same. I have 5G off because it's just so bloody slow and unreliable.

    Let's not even talk about the problems where periodically I can't make any outbound calls and no one can call me. Which has been a problem for at least the last 5 years, for both me and my wife.

  • Ah, the circle of life

  • They usually do yes however it's all about prioritization.

    You may have hundreds or thousands or open requests and issues.

    With tens of thousands of closed issues that were either not reproducible, not actually problems, or largely indecipherable.

    There's usually a feature roadmap which is where most of the development money and time is spent. If it's an older business application then certain bugs might easily take weeks to find, fix, test, validate, go through user acceptance, A/B test, and then deploy. But fixing is expensive work, so if the bug isn't severe it's usually deprioritized next to higher priority work.

  • If north America & Australia's biggest exports start having effect they will be very pro-regulation. Just pro-regulatory-capture.

  • How does taxing revenue from digital technology where it's generated work?

    Can you explain what that means for me.

  • I like how they say Taiwan Independence is a dead end.

    Taiwan is already independent. China wants to undo that, but they make sure to word it as if Taiwan is a rebelling State instead.

  • Yep, and Google does the same shit.

    On Pixel phones you have the search bar at the bottom, which you cannot remove, replace, resize, or configure.

    In the EU you can configure it to change your default search engine. In North America you cannot, and are forced to use Google.

    And on Google forums anyone who complains gets attacked by a wave of simps saying "Then just don't buy a pixel then, go somewhere else if you don't like it".

    So tired of this shit.

  • Seriously and it's a hot topic so it's going to get this sort of attention.

    Let it sit for a while and it'll become normalized and these sort of antics will die off.

    Just let people express themselves as long as it's not dangerous holy crap.

  • I mean, that's not surprising though is it? If a FOSS tool I made has an additional feature that requires my own backend to support, then there has to be a backend to support it.

    The FE that uses it is still FOSS, and one could always build their own API to the specs outlined by the client.

    They could OSS their server side code ofc, that'd be cool. But that also takes sometimes double the effort to do well, and keep custom tweaks and changes either separate and proprietary, or build out a complex way for them to be dynamically injected. So I don't really blame them on that one tbh.

  • Can you list some of those, I'm curious.

  • I thought I explained that pretty well no?

    If you had a grain of rice that tasted unimaginably, unmitigably, good. The highest quality grain of rice ever seen in the world, in all of history.

    It will not change the flavor of 30k bowls of rice.

    We're talking an absolutely tiny amount of users here. And we shouldn't delude ourselves over it, circle jerking for being the "higher society". Reddit didn't change because we left, the number of users on Reddit change more on a daily basis than 5 Lemmy's.


    That said, the smaller niche subs definitely saw some hits. I won't deny that. However, by definition, a small number of users leaving from small subs isn't a "gotcha" moment for what I've stated. That's is, almost by definition, what would be expected.

    The discussions here are of higher quality for sure. But you'll still notice that in many threads it's almost indistinguishable from Reddit in many ways.

  • I last did this math a while back so let me redo it.

    Lemmy != The fediverse. Lemmy is fairly small with 45k monthly active users. https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

    Reddit has 430 million monthly active users (70m daily) according to their disclosures for IPO.

    So a 0.000104 multiple. Or 0.01% a little less than 2x my previous calculation. So, still a tiny number.

  • I think you're grossly overestimating

    Lemmy shaved off 0.0057% of reddit users. An actual inconsequential number.

    This would be like you losing a grand total of 1 grain of rice, from ~35,000 rice bowls.

    Even if that was the best tasting grain of rice of the whole bunch, you wouldn't notice.

  • For real, we need unions. It's a slow boil now, knowledge workers are the next factory workers.

    Soon to be displaced as corporations gobble up another chunk of worker wealth.

  • ... Contacting someone makes you an: "unhinged fucking freak who does not respect personal boundaries"?

    More people need to go touch grass, this is insane.
