what the fuck is up with all these pansy-ass terms suits keep coming up with? "quiet quitting" and now "soft saving"?

fuck this marshmallow flavoured cyanide bullshit

let me paint you a different picture

i'm the one shoving you into a locker.

he uses 4chan

Now that Web Environment Integrity is shut down, Reddit decides to take matters into their own hands..

Psst,

git add -p

didn't they like... scrape everyone's open source code for an ai and then gatekeep that shit to their own infra?

You download a copy of a photo I took to your computer.

I have a website that lets people see the photo, it's a popular website

Except that photo on my website doesn't point to a copy of that photo on one of my computers, it points to the copy on yours.

Millions of people visit my website, and each time they do, they download your copy of my photo.

Uploading that photo to millions of computers across the world fucks up your internet service. You could also switch out my photo for another one, maybe even an offensive one,, but my website would still point visitors to it.

In the original post, this is what a multibillion dollar corporation, a bank, did to a not-for-profit service that keeps a historical record of the internet.

I hinted at the security implications of what happened, but explaining that would make the analogy too complex.

that study talks about oled displays btw, shit's not gonna change for regular backlit devices

word of the day is greenwashing, fucking engrave it into your brain -- get the words for the phenomena and all that shit

Can I just enjoy a fuckin game without being browbeat on DEI garbage?

The article is about sloppy journalism, not what you, personally, are allowed to enjoy, you illiterate fuckhead.

Why would anyone join Lemmy/Mastodon if they could join Threads instead for the same content? Normal people don't care that your shit is FLOSS or decentralised, they just want convenience.

These maps are reminiscent of the accuracy and care with how the British divided up nations half way across the world.

It is a selfish and short view of the world.

Empathy, cognitive, emotional, compassionate, comes more naturally to some individuals than to others.

What you see here is someone who may not understand the situation and its consequences, or has trouble forming a connection with the people impacted by the situation. But the compassion does show, they're reaching out, asking questions, trying to understand.

I don't think that's a sign of a selfish or short-sighted person.

fuck, you got me there

edit: or maybe not, it's a pretty universal experience

Your argument was that people aren't using servers that run FLOSS federated software is because they're not aware of them. My argument is that the people who aren't aware are also people who wouldn't use those servers even if they knew.

The people who run their own mail servers are massive nerds, the people who are on Mastodon are also massive nerds. This status quo won't change just because a megacorp adopts ActivityPub (in fact, you eloquently bring to attention how everyone uses Gmail or Hotmail, and basically no individual runs their own mail server*). So if that's your argument, the original commenter's point still stands.

*Moreover I've heard that because of this monopoly on email, sending email from a mail server you run to the big providers without it immediately getting sent to spam, if delivered at all, is basically impossible.

If you don't get it, it's ok.

the way you follow up the psychopathic sense of humour by trying to gaslight people who think something fucked up is fucked up is almost artful

i already learned how to use my operating system, now you're telling me I have to learn 30 new libraries that do the exact same shit?

It's a bit of an ordeal on the server-side of things if you don't know what SELinux does. These days "is SELinux fucking something up?" is a regular on my troubleshooting list, though.
