You’re probably underselling yourself. Obviously everyone who can read this made it over this barrier so I knew there was a high probability of responses like “It doesn’t seem hard to me.”
I understand. But I’ve actually had lots of opportunities to sit in a usability lab, observing digital product testing with regular people. And let me tell you, most of them struggle with basics. TBH it can be hard at times to keep from bursting out laughing.
You’re making a good faith effort to inquire into some views being expressed here, and getting a bunch of pompous, hand wavy answers (as well as some reading assignments you must complete before speaking again!).
All I will say is that if these morons cannot even explain their definition in anarchy to you, when you’re asking in good faith, what hope do they have to actually carry out this fantasy with all of humanity? Inevitable, indeed…
It was the way for most of human history. And I’m not saying that in a good way, like “it’s totally normal, we should not be afraid of it.” I think the past was a uniformly awful time that’s slowly been getting better.
Anarchy working well depends on the people involved. Though at this point, we live in such a rules based world that I wonder if anyone would be able to function entirely without.
Stars represent a much much larger proportion of the matter in galaxies than planets. So the answer is that if you really want to capture the most energy from fusion, eventually you’d want to interact with stars or you’ll just not have much material to work with.
Yeah but Plex has also been around for years and established that “lifetime” might be a good stretch of time. I’d never spend “lifetime” level money on some new mobile app.
I’m interested to know if Hulu is under pressure from content owners here. The way this is worded makes it sound like ads are a negotiated part of some of their content licensing deals that they cannot avoid. I’m just curious if that’s in part because of the content owners. Maybe those owners don’t want to give content for a flat fee and instead want a % cut of the business, or something?
Huh? I follow your point about people and their inertia. But I don’t follow this part.
What turns people off about Lemmy is the complexity of instances and federation and clients. We’re talking about your uncle Bob and his level of ordinary people. We should not forget that these people scrunched up their faces at Twitter itself for years and said ”but what is it?” Only in the fullness of time did it permeate our entire society.
If by “corporate social media” you mean “free, simple, high quality UX, and high popularity” then I agree with you. But it’s the simplicity and popularity that count, not the corporateness.
The point being made here is “we feel license to do things we see lots of other people doing, and we hesitate to do things that we don’t see anyone else doing.”
This point can be made without dragging us into the racist policing. If you know a better name for it, by all means suggest one.
It’s something, but there’s really no frame of reference to know if it’s good or how good. Because companies rarely talk about this number. Twitter might have billions of accounts created if we look at all time.
Is this 30 million accounts created? Active user numbers would be a lot more meaningful.
As an illustration, if you have a platform that’s gaining 100,000 users each month and losing 100,000 other users each month, it’s basically going nowhere. But it will eventually reach this “30 million users” milestone too if all it means is account creations.
I agree. I’ve heard people say that they willingly voted for a criminal rapist huckster and I don’t believe that. They thought he was something different. They are fucking dumb, not evil.
The well moneyed sort who buy Teslas also like to change cars more often than the rest of us. Some of them are going to even more expensive brands like Rivian, and there’s a huge array of less expensive, more practical options.
Here’s how I personally see the brand transformation. I don’t believe these people are so principled that they are dumping these cars in protest. It’s more that the appeal that used to be there: of being part of the future, of moving off gas and embracing clean tech to help save the world… that little halo just isn’t part of the brand anymore. I see Teslas all the time where I live with license plates like “BYE CO2” and “LOL GAS.” But no one is going to hop on board that Tesla hype train any longer. They are no longer novel, they no longer virtue-signal and yes have actually become a bit icky. But I think we’re just seeing the end of the mirage, not really any kind affirmative lashback.
Elon is all this company has, just like Trump is literally the only thing going on in the Republican Party. The republicans are going all the way with Trump, straight down the drain, and Tesla will do the same with Musk.
