  • Nah, it's a scam if you look into it. They spend it all on "AI Safety" and "Existential Risk" bullshit.

    It's a shame as the general concept is cool with microloans and crowd-funding, etc. but it's really been taken over by that crowd.

  • Back then they had no cars at all though.

    But yeah he's not personally building the rockets and engines, but he's still far, far better than 99% of politicians and oligarchs who are just using the same money to go to Epstein's island etc.

  • This but unironically. Tesla put electric vehicles on the map. Starship will change humanity forever, and Neuralink is already helping patients.

    He's not perfect (but hey, Von Braun was worse), but at least he's actually doing stuff that matters.

  • I never switched. Just doesn't seem worth the hassle.

    Loads of broken features and extra work shoved onto the individual compositor / WM developers. I don't care about security on my own computer, I just want screen sharing and clipboards to work reliably.

    That said, I use just one (ultrawide) monitor, so even the benefits aren't really there at all.

  • The moderators would rather have absolute power (controlling registration, community creation, all moderation, etc.) in their small fiefdom than foster a growing and open community. It's sad, but hopefully lemmy.world will grow more.

  • This does much more harm than good IMO - splintering the community at such a sensitive time of growth is a bad idea.

    Hopefully there'll be the ability to block images in comments and posts, and better tools for blocking / detecting spammers, and cross-instance bans, auto-moderating hyperlinks, etc. soon.

    But the demand for unilateral access to other communities' content is disturbing. The Lemmy federation works because of reciprocity.

    Definitely won't be recommending beehaw for new users now.

  • Bots are a bad idea, the best way is to alert people and have loads of people signed up ready to respond. This is what Israel does with the parts of the IDF.

    Like targeted brigading for relevant rising stories, etc. e.g. create a bot for Matrix or Telegram that tags the people "on-call" with relevant posts that are being upvoted and expected to generate a lot of views.
