Burn out on Lemmy?
The developers have made it clear that Lemmy isn't designed to scale and that has been made apparent in their design philosophy and what they focus on.
Also, users minimize the work that it takes to moderate a decently sized community or administer an instance. The design philosophy bakes in Reddit's role hierarchy while trying to present Lemmy as being more open and free.
Beehaw admins pointed out the design issues a while ago and at one point considered building its own backend to replace Lemmy for their use.
Sadly, building a large community isn't just a technical issue.

I would like to write an opera but where do I start?

Most instances of Lemmy have a very low opinion of AI. You aren't going to find AI recommendations here.
Also, regarding music, a lot of music theory is used in the writing of opera and musicals. AI could write music for you, but you wouldn't be able to critique the output to make a decent opera. People educated in music would be able to tell what is missing/wrong and people without this education would still likely be and to tell that doesn't hit.

Airbnb hosts are furious they can no longer make guests do their chores

They're technically independent contractors with some of their own capital. What makes them different than an Uber driver or a truck owner-operator is the amount of capital required to do their job is a lot higher and they generally don't need to do as much labor.

Yeah. The hosts are pissed they have to pay the labor costs of cleaning crews rather than just their mortgages.

Why do rich, low-unemployment cities have the most homelessness? A new analysis points to spare bedrooms, not drugs or jobs.Article
I'm not surprised. I've heard a lot of cases where the way to prevent homelessness is making sure someone has a home, no matter it's condition. If you can't afford a home and no one can accommodate you because they don't have room, you're more likely to be homeless than if you have friends you can couch surf through.

Will we return to analog technology to some degree?
Analog? Probably not. However, I wouldn't be surprised if air gaps become more commonplace. I also wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a feature that, in some instances, you pay for.

HBO Max has really turned to shit since the Skydance takeover

Yeah. Wait a little bit as the new company cuts production while not making anything novel. For instance, Lanterns looked good, so they are going to have to kill it.

Why do I have to pay tariffs for importing the following stuff into the EU now?
Reply in thread
The issue is more manufacturing and trade policy.
China is hitting a point where its economy is going to import natural resources. With that happening, Europe doesn't produce anything of significant value to compensate for Chinese manufactured goods. So, it is increasing tariffs to protect local industry. Closing the de minimus allowance is part of it.

How does one figure out what to do, after getting out and done with high school?
If you don't know what to invest an education in, just start trying different jobs in hopes of finding something you can tolerate.

When has being lazy saved your ass?
A lot of times in my career. It turns out people will ask you to do things that aren't necessary all the time without wanting to pay for it. There are also a lot of times it is better to choose the quicker and less accurate way to do something since it will show the basic feasibility.
