I use both. Can confirm windows breaks 10x more than Debian stable.

I mean Lemmy is pretty neat, I consider it a contender for the next "big" thing (and I'm fine if it never gets a huge userbase like reddit, certainly fine by me)

I mean I was a mod of a couple 50000+ subs and I said fuck em'... I'm sure a few other decent people/mods did too.

💎💎💎🚀🚀🚀 _{...................................................} lol, couldn't resist

Lemmy is only 4% of the fediverse by user %. Most of the fediverse is Mastodon.

Yeah something weird was happening, this comment just posted but it was trying to load yesterday and wouldn't load.

Stand up in the primaries, we're in the general election now. This is the only strategy that works with FPTP.

The 6 months before the general election is the only period when you don't want to create division. That gives you 3 years and 6 months for critical discussion which is fairly reasonable.

So your choice is to lose to fascists...? Because if people don't vote for Biden, Democrats will lose to fascists.

No made up analogy there. Straight up go to jail, don't pass go, end of democracy, Trump dictatorship. This honestly is not hyperbole this time around.

Lemmy is very small in comparison, although every time reddit manages to do another silly thing Lemmy grows leaps and bounds. It's a slow investment in a better internet, and it's going to take a long time to slowly show the world that corporations don't have to control everything on the internet.

That being said I'm partial to !cranetrainexcavators@lemmy.world , it's rockin' (...and climbin', and glidin')

ahhhh... yeah i block all meme stuff, it's too much for me ;)

i do what in the who

hmm, it's a long list but it's a shame they didn't chart them by most votes. It is interesting that lemmy.ca does a census though, pretty cool.

well here goes nothing: !cranetrainexcavators@lemmy.world

well since this is the highest voted comment (at +11) as of this writing, I created that community. Hopefully some people who have the same interests join along too.

https://lemmy.world/c/cranetrainexcavators I was going to Call it cranestrainsandexcavatorsandstufflikethat but Lemmy has a silly 20 character limit ;)

I was actually mistaken in my earlier comment, I meant to say Bypass Paywalls Clean, but actually that add-on was removed previously from the Firefox store due to a copyright claim (it became too popular). I have it installed because it was only removed from the store, not from users who had it installed already.

Like you found out though your searching though, the BPC filter list can be imported into uBlock Origin through it's settings menu.

The thing I love about Lemmy is how easy it is to start communities. All you need are people interested in whatever is there.

Watch I'll start one today (well I'll just seed the idea, the community does the hard work ;) )

I like it. I'm not much into the memes but the communities are much smaller so you get more personal discussions.

It's very much like reddit circa 2008 or so. It feels like the claws of marketing people have no presence here. I dare say the word, it feels like there is freedom of expression. To be free, at least partially, from corporate control.

I haven't experienced the NY times paywall in awhile. I don't mean to sound lectury but there really is no reason to not use Firefox desktop or mobile with ublock origin. It is so much nicer of a web experience, and NY times has some nice articles.

read the article. The writer isn't advocating to ban them now, no one is. The title isn't Why don't we ban fossil fuels now.

The point of the article is that we can try to innovate alongside fossil fuels with renewables, but petro companies are actually finding new efficiencies and reducing the costs of oil extraction. The IMF predicts $15/barrel oil by 2050. Oil will take another century to go away unless it is "banned". No one means they're going to make it illegal, but to effectively put a heavy hand of regulation on industry to cease fossil operations and to switch to renewables.

are they? If you add their utility and total negative externalities they are essentially un-useful. We have the technology now to phase them out over the next 10-20 years. All that is lacking is the political will.
