Is there any point in having the dislike button at all in YouTube when nobody but the creator can see the dislike count?

Jump

  • Which is a perfect proxy for me.

    • The future is now

    Jump

  • Why though

    • If you could travel the multiuniverse, what would be the first universe you would visit?

    Jump

  • Eh, I don't know, I'm not yet convinced mind uploading is philosophically unproblematic. I'd rather get as much use as possible out of the ol' meat mecha before considering that.

    • If you could travel the multiuniverse, what would be the first universe you would visit?

    Jump

  • some scifi universe where they hand out anti aging perfect health pills like tic tacs. That would probably be a pretty interesting place to check out for some time. If it's an innate ability to travel and I don't have to worry about getting stuck in a universe, I'd probably want to check out some questions like "what if the Roman empire collapsed way earlier?" or "what if someone killed Hitler as a child?" or "what if religion didn't have such an appeal to people?" (though I suspect I'd be going back to the first universe with the last question).

    • OSS Notetaking App: Notesnook

    Jump

  • It will be a cold day in hell when I consider using any software running on Someone Else's Computers (tm) for journalling or note taking. Even less so when there are a number of FOSS, self-hostable, highly configurable and feature-rich solutions out there (I personally am partial to Trilium).

    • OSS Notetaking App: Notesnook

    Jump

  • How is it a "trap" to spend an hour or two configuring a tool to your exact needs, which you will then probably be using literally every day for years.

    • Leak: Elon Musk said he wants X to be a dating app, too, in an all-hands meeting on the anniversary of his Twitter takeover

    Jump

  • Literally who gives a shit about Twitter at this point.

    • What is the Alabama of your country?

    Jump

  • Found the Romanian.

    • anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

    Jump

  • why linux will never be a viable solution on the desktop

    Has been pretty viable for me for the last 7 years or so.

    why self hosting will never take off

    Literally who cares, the community stands to gain nothing from another few million novice users who don't even know or care to learn how to formulate a question or usable bug report.

    • World shift to clean energy is unstoppable, IEA report says

    Jump

  • The more pessimistic (already prior to this report unlikely!) projections of climate change are conditional on sustained heavy investment and development of fossil energy sources, which seems to me would make little sense if the alternative is significantly cheaper. So there's now an even lower chance we're in one of those truly apocalyptic timelines.

    • World shift to clean energy is unstoppable, IEA report says

    Jump

  • According to estimates, PV including battery storage will be the cheapest energy source to develop for nearly every country in the world by the 2030s. Surely even the most determined doomsayers won't go so far as to say we'll "kill the planet" until then.

    • Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?

    Jump

  • If only I knew...

    • Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?

    Jump

  • I was recently on holiday where most of the other guests in our hotel were 50-70 year old Germans.

    The breakfast buffet at our hotel had a large scale coffee maker which could do some surprisingly good freshly ground coffee. What it could also do is spit instant coffee into your mug and pour hot water on top.

    In two weeks I never saw someone (other than me) draw anything but fucking instant coffee from that thing.

    • So how much "bad" debt are you in?

    Jump

  • No debt since we're only now looking for houses (yes yes, great timing, I know...) and I frankly wouldn't know what else I would need to spend so much money on that I would have to go into debt.

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Man I wish my friends were still using teamspeak.

    • How do you spend your idle time?

    Jump

  • While commuting, I mostly read ebooks, listen to fiction audiobooks or long-form history/pop science podcasts/youtube videos. Depending also on whether I am driving that day or taking the subway. Breaks at work, I just chat with colleagues, and scroll lemmy or the birdsite on toilet breaks.

    • How long would you live if electricity for the whole world went out permanently?

    Jump

  • I'm not too concerned. Worst case, my brother is a competition shooter and has a number of guns and the components for lots of ammo at home (he makes his own custom tailored ammo), while gun ownership is otherwise quite unusual in my country.

    I suppose a major issue would be realizing early enough if things are not going to improve, and that it's time to bug out to his place and switch to Fallout mode.

    • How do you deal with the after lunchtime sleepiness at work?

    Jump

  • The same way I deal with morning sleepiness. A quadruple espresso.

    • Why was the post about that weird lemmy contributor removed?

    Jump

  • Lemmy core devs found to be left wing extremists, more news at 11.

    • How's your daily commute?

    Jump

  • About 25 min across the city by motorcycle, or ~35 min by subway, twice a week. I enjoy driving so I mostly do the former unless the weather is truly shitty.

    What I like about it: splitting lanes in the morning traffic jam. Wheee!

    What I hate about it: Nothing, but I'd prefer 25 min across the countryside instead of the city
