iamthewalrus,

I’m not a mod but am pretty sure this is opinion, not news. Therefore not allowed in this sub.

Do you think lemmy would be as popular as reddit?

Hi, do you think lemmy would be as popular as Reddit ? I mean, many subreddits have much more posts compared to communities on lemmy… sometimes I scroll through Reddit sub top of month and see no end. At lemmy mostly I see 10 posts monthly… I do like concept of moving to lemmy, but it might make no sense if people’s are no...

iamthewalrus,

I generally agree, but one counter example I keep thinking of is Wikipedia. Massively successful site with few rivals despite being a nonprofit. I imagine a social media app could build some degree of success with that model. The main obstacles to my mind are a good UI/UX and a community funding approach sufficient to keep ahead of growth. It’s not yet clear whether Lemmy is “the one” to provide either. As great as the fediverse concept is, it’s harder to use and to consolidate funding for than it perhaps should be.

iamthewalrus,

Lab-grown meat.

“In 2013, the world’s first cultivated meat burger was served at a news conference in London. It allegedly cost $330,000 to make. That figure has plummeted in the almost-decade since, but cell-grown proteins are yet to clock in anywhere close to the same price as conventional meats.” (Source: www.bonappetit.com/story/lab-grown-meat)

The goal is to get the price down to a level the average supermarket shopper can afford, and if the science is successful it has the potential to revolutionize the food chain.

iamthewalrus,

I’m inclined to agree, at least initially. I suspect it’ll depend on how much demand and competition there is in the field once it’s democratized. The other consideration is extraneous factors (e.g. soaring price of meat due to climate change) that could make lab-grown the cheapest/best option eventually.

iamthewalrus,

In fairness, it’s kind of a freaky concept. Real meat, yet no animal was killed to provide it. Doesn’t sound like it should be possible. I can’t wait to try it.

iamthewalrus,

The feature for locating a ‌Siri‌ Remote works with the second-generation or later version of the device, and tvOS 17 is required as well.

Multilingualism shouldn’t be a threat (theconversation.com)

Ninety-eight per cent of Nunavik Inuit speak Inuktitut as their first language. This should be celebrated, not hindered. […] Bill 96 will create greater impediments to accessible health care for Inuit and First Nations people. The bill will worsen health and health care, instead of improving it.

iamthewalrus,

While I agree with your second point, I think the article is arguing that healthcare access will be made harder for indigenous people because they’re more likely to speak English or Inuktitut than other parts of the population. Even though Inuktitut is not available in most cases, a multilingual health care system makes it more accessible.
