  • It's the inverse that is true actually -

    As Lemmy becomes more popular it will drift from being so tech focused.

    Many popular sites gradually drifted off of tech focus as their user base grew. R*ddit is a prime example of how a very nerdy niche site grew and shifted to be popular (sorta) organically.

    I do think that for all the hullabaloo about Ellen Pao and banning a bunch of subreddits - that actually did more to open the place up to users who were otherwise driven away by /r/FatPeopleHate and /r/Jailbait being on the front page all the time.

    If Lemmy were to change to attract users it would likely be from increased defederation with instances that are less palatable to mainstream society.

  • Not OP here and I'll vote for her in the election 100% but the concerns I've seen raised most often are:

    She was a cop and her history reflects the history of being a cop. Being a prosecutor means that you're pressuring innocent people into jail time plea deals and using cops to back up your arguments all the time. She's the epitome of back the blue.

    That makes her a great choice against the "Law and Order" fascist felon at least.

  • This outage is probably costing a significant portion of Crowd strike's market cap. They're an 80 billion dollar company but this is a multibillion outage.

    Someone's getting fired for this. Massive process failures like this means that it should be some high level managers or the CTO going out.

    1. Tiktok is a company comparable in scale to Google. 130Bn in revenue last year.
    2. Patreon is nowhere near the scale of YouTube. But I also think it's the only viable solution to privacy and supporting creators.
  • The only statistic that matters is sold not occupied and even that is only useful if it excludes houses that just haven't been moved into yet.

    The majority of those figures are just showing that houses are unoccupied in resort towns because there's nothing there half the year or that houses sit empty for a month while a new renter is sorted out or a new owner is moving in.

    We don't need to shove the homeless into a remote resort town where they have no access to services - we need more housing in our cities where support networks can help those in need.

    The fact is that there arent enough houses to house every homeless person in the USA and maintain sufficient housing stock for people to move houses.

    Anything below a 5% vacancy rate is considered a housing shortage - it indicates there's too much demand for housing and not enough supply.

    Very few American cities are sitting at or above 5% vacancy.
