On the flip side, they are immune to any other "cringe attacks" that come up. Who knows it might be strangely liberating

It's funny because it's so obvious that no one would ever need to say it, but these two are whispering like it's office gossip

Great I really wanted that.

I wonder how this will affect the right to be forgotten. It's not like theyre going to un-train any models or remove any derivative content

Look at this nerd sietch

My face when I'm trying to use tar and realise I don't have my shell history on this machine

All I need is enough people on these decentralised social media platforms to keep me from feeling like I'm missing out by not being on one of the monoliths, and I've already got that now.

I welcome all the new people, and am happy for them to stay and explore, but if the numbers just stayed around where they are now, well, that would be fine too.

It's not like we've got to worry about pumping the numbers for a venture exit or IPO or anything. We can just chill out and enjoy.

They're still around! Discourse, phpbb, etc make it super easy to set up and administer. You don't even need coding knowledge. I'm part of a forum that's been going since the early oughts myself. Old Ocremix forums diaspora.

Think of it like a bookclub. You've just got to find some folks and get cracking

I can't really think of a case where a post's image isn't relevant to the associated discussion. Even if it's just a nonsense post with an unrelated image, knowing what the irrelevant image is about would help make sense of the discussion.

Not enough info is better than nothing. Because if it's nothing, you can't tell if the person who shared the image is lazy or decided the alt text wasn't necessary for this particular picture

Why I would separate the artist from what they made? I'm interested in what they have to say about the world. That's the point of art.

It's not just content to make me happy until the next hit. Like, it has meaning.

Honestly I'm not sure they even get it, so maybe they should

Canvas straps can be good quality, less sticky, and last way beyond the lifespan of any consumer grade electronic device.

Not to sound like I'm a textiles expert, so don't come at me

Same. Honestly it got me to stop putting butter on my toast. It's so nasty.

I think this and the stuff happening at Twitter are a nice kickstart to get lemmy and other ferdiverse stuff going.

Long live the ferdervers!

But seriously, I'm with you in sentiment. I'm never going back to the centralised/for-profit soc med services.

All their value comes from the free interactions between people chatting, and they think they deserve to get rich for renting the hall. Fuck that, we can just rent the infrastructure ourselves if that's what it takes to talk in peace.

This is a commonly held belief and one that I had for most of my life. I don't know what finally did it for me, but the book Trekonomics definitely gave me a push.

They're all pretty good, but Tusky is easily the most frictionless one.

I know a few nurses in the neighbourhood and this is basically their survival strategy.

Hell yeah watch me tween between sitting and standing without having the stop moving. So much time saved

I think we have very different ways of enjoying art. I don't really understand how it's possible for at to have nothing with the artist's views, unless it were totally random. Actually, even that would be saying something.

But I get the feeling that we look at art pretty differently.

Well vegans do it, so it must be available enough

I'm finding it's the opposite. Depending on what thread I stumble into I'll get wildly different takes
