Am I stupid? I don't see a title/label on this chart and I don't really understand what it means. Is it most popular car? I didn't think pickup trucks would be more popular than sedans.

Not just shit controlled by a CEO, literally anything for-profit. For-profit software does not care about your experience. It cares about gouging as much money as it can from you. Open source software, the antithesis, is made for and by the people. It's there to be as useful and enjoyable as possible. Open source software has nothing to gain from forcing you to jump through hoops, unlike for-profit software. They put the hoops in place, then force you to pay them to fix the problem they deliberately caused.

And it's not like open software can't make money. Donations have shown time and time again to be enough for software and servers good enough to deserve them. See lichess.org for a wonderful example of an open platform that even denounces advertising openly, and yet survives just fine on donations. The problem is the for-profit income model.

Ive been using utc personally for over a year and i use it in context of vrchat since it yields one less necessary conversion to other people's timezones because only the offset is needed (as opposed to memorizing both offsets, which is much harder because of that nasty nasty daylight savings and its weird anomalies) but they still hate it and tell me to use a "normal" timezone lol. I had gotten 1 person to switch. And she since switched back. Shit don't work in practicality but I'm still gonna use it out of stubbornness

A post I sent 4 hours ago to lemmy.ml wasn't showing up. After I edited it once with no changes, it showed up as posted 1 minute ago. It's definitely an issue taking place. You can check to see if your posts are showing up at their destinations with the rainbow federation link button next to posts.

I think part of the joke is that lots of the traditional straight ppl out there have wild expectations like not finding others attractive anymore.
