He’s only 66?! Damn, he looks 80.

Well there’s a focus on American events, American billionaires, and the distinctly American flavour of extreme policing

A lot of people are against it because they see it as the first step towards evil, but I still think we should have some sort of recommendation algorithm. New content discovery on Lemmy is way too manual for normies like me.

The sign-up process should be streamlined. It’s really intimidating to have to choose an instance when you don’t even understand what the heck that is. And then there’s the manual account validation. I’m not sure what the solution is but we might want to find one.

And we need to do something about the extremists. They have a right to exist, but the abnormally high prevalence of American-coded communist/anarcho-communist content that just casually talks about executing the rich and the like is weird and intimidating even to me, a decidedly left-wing person. Americans, who are famously doubtful of communism, probably run away from the platform seeing that. And as for non-Americans… Well the proportion of content that’s specifically about American politics is even higher than on Reddit, which is saying something.

You think they can’t redirect their ludicrous police forces (including ICE) to brutalize millions? Don’t underestimate fascism.

The soot.

They’re a terrible gift. I have a zillion candles they I keep around and can’t quite get around to throwing away

Maybe there should be a mechanism for merging communities across instances.

If two communities set out with the same goal in a community and one of them didn’t get very popular, wouldn’t it be nice if they could come to an agreement to merge the communities and share the hosting burden?

I wish it were true, but no, not really.

Sometimes they’re desaturated.

Sometimes they’re 3:4.

Sometimes they’re straight-up black and white.

Changing something about the appearance of of the image is done often. But I don’t think blurry would do unless it’s a really short flashback. It would either look like a mistake (camera not in focus for instance), not be intense enough to be apparent on smaller or lower resolution TVs, or be distracting and annoying to the viewer (say, some sort of foveated motion blur).

Because my PC is an entertainment box. I don’t want to turn it into a problem to solve.

Also, Nvidia.

You could also see it as a form of greenwashing, making you think you’re buying local, and thus greener, if you don’t look closely.

Did they really not vote for it? I feel like right-wing people might actually want this sort of inhumane mass expulsion.

I think it’ll just keep sinking for a long time. The US has been hell for a very long time. It’s just gotten worse.

It’s illegal to revolt against the state, and it’s illegal for individual states to seek independence. And that’s for the nation with the strongest armed forces in the world.

I predict a slow, boring descent into a corporatist dystopia.

But like what even is a social media for women? I wasn’t aware the ones we currently have were for men

Oof, sounds like we really need a new, better put together version of the protocol. I wonder if the W3C would be good to do that.

Sounds like the protocol needs an upgrade if people are doing funny stuff like that. No?

A book? About programming? Whoa.

They will truly do anything not to admit the problem is cars

Have you looked into becoming a nurse practitioner? You sound like you might feel more fulfilled with more medical knowledge and a job in more of an expert role.

What the fuck, HTML. I kinda like it in a perverse way.
