Automatics start in park

That’s insane. Starting in neutral is arguably safer.

To many, federation is a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist for them. In their mind, the early model of federation is like email, a problem that was “solved” years ago by having one corporate product that was much better than others (Gmail).

To add, on top of that, the fediverse is like if gmail could just randomly decide to stop receiving emails from outlook addresses and there’s nothing any user can do about it except make another email for when they want to email outlook users.

I don’t think fediverse proponents know just how catastrophically this terminates their entire pitch in the minds of 99% of internet users

Flood the internet with disparaging AI Oprahs and then see what she thinks

Interesting facts in a stupid way or stupid facts in an interesting way. We only have enough for 50%.

The ocean was purple once, and another time the only thing taller than little bushes were twenty foot tall mushrooms shaped like asparagus

I started on beehaw and moved here because they got too defederation-happy. I don’t want to post on an antisocial network, if I want to be alone with my thoughts I won’t go online at all. It’s a valid choice for them to make but I believe in Lemmy because I want a non-corporate non-evasive Reddit, which kinda needs lots of different communities.

It means your life expectancy immediately increases. There are some things that, depending on your age, improving won’t improve life expectancy. ie, a 99 year old doing something that reduces their risk of colon cancer but nothing else will not reduce their chances of dying because something else will kill them first with 100% certainty.

Quitting smoking decreases risk of death for absolutely everyone in every circumstance

Lemmy vegans really wanna kill cats

Reminds me of my Reddit “violence” ban. I said that RFK voters should have their brains looked inside for more brain worms. Admins took this to mean literally open their heads up, killing them in the process.

Reddit will ban you for literally anything if it gets dogpiled hard enough with reports.

Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful

See the reason Lemmy is better than Reddit is because you don’t have 37 people jumping down your throat right now because they didn’t understand the sarcasm

Good advice, I’m sitting on a bunch of old materia and should be able to do the “mid tier” melds from Teamcraft without spending much.

He really wants to make a new god game huh

Didn’t know there was a Lemmy community for XIV, glad to help livening it up.

I finally got all crafters and gatherers to 100 and crafted myself a full set of gear and tools. Probably not gonna bother pentamelding since we’re already so far into the tier but it’s nice to have all that armoury space back.

Careful if you have any Reddit alts. This particular moderator has the ban evasion filter set to the highest sensitivity on all of his subreddits (it’s a Reddit feature that flags suspected alts of banned users based on account details and device fingerprinting) and will report every case of suspected ban evasion to the admins. They normally don’t care but will look into it if a mod reports it. If you accidentally post on any of his subreddits with an alt the admins will permanently ban all of your accounts.

It’s because low level in terms of software engineering is like the foundation of a building, while high level in terms of the skill required to do something is like the top of a podium.

Never thought I’d see the day

To me it feels like Reddit but before Reddit became so popular. That has both good and bad aspects, but overall I enjoy posting here.
