tallwookie,

gatekeeping, censorship, shadowbans from commenting in a different community, echo chambers.

tallwookie,

funding is better than monetizing a platform

tallwookie,

willful misunderstanding. absolutely no one should trust anything spez says

tallwookie,

I've noticed that as technology has progressed over the last few decades, it has gotten progressively cheaper - like, it used to cost some serious $$$ to host your own website/community back in the day, but now you can easily get away with it for less than ~$100/yr.

people that like to create things have a vested interest in maintaining their creations - presumably they'd pay some small amount in order to have their creations (or a digitally archived copy) preserved for posterity.

not familiar with DAOs, but it sounds sort of like a form of currency. if everyone adopts it, or recognizes its value (much as American currency is valued in countries with weak economies), and the tokens are redeemable across multiple platforms (or have a real world value), then that, along with other sources of remuneration (crowdfunding, donations, etc) could easily pay for the cost of hosting content long term.

tallwookie,

probably shouldnt have accepted refugees if you have no where to house them.

tallwookie,

presumably new slang will be developed as the communities mature.

tallwookie,

compared to exiting college and realizing that the real world has different rules?

tallwookie,

canadian govt really needs a more active forest service - letting it get out of hand like this is a bit ridiculous.

tallwookie,

classic spez

tallwookie,

presumably it's not seismically active there, but it would be interesting to see what happened if a deep bore hole hit magma (DIY volcano)

tallwookie,

longtime reddit user myself (since 2007ish?), trying to ditch reddit because I cant stand the official way to access it & with all of the impending changes it's good to leave early. today is day1 of lemmy for me. it looks like an interesting platform - especially the decentralized aspect of it.

happy cake day, @RadDevon

tallwookie,

that's one easy way to go right back to your country of origin.

tallwookie,

i'm breaking with reddit. dont much care if it breaks or not though

tallwookie,

how is that not stealing? it looks and sounds like actual theft.

Chinese censors to restrict use of AirDrop and Bluetooth, activists fear it will further hinder their ability to mobilise people and share information (web.archive.org)

Bluetooth, AirDrop and such file-sharing services are crucial tools in China, where the so-called Great Firewall has resulted in one of the mostly tightly-controlled internet regimes. In recent years, anti-government protesters have often turned to AirDrop to organise and share their political demands. For instance, some...

tallwookie,

how? just... what?

bluetooth has been included on basically every communication capable device manufactured in the last 15+ years, easily hundreds, probably thousands of different manufacturers.

this is an unrealistic expectation.

the apple thing though? easy. apple and the CCP are like besties these days.

tallwookie,

I think there's something in the water down there.

tallwookie,

rimworld - so many different things to make your pawns do - endless mods as well. recently picked up factorio, still getting used to it but it looks like a fabulous timesink

tallwookie,

so someone is stealing the MREs and reselling them?

tallwookie,

less of an if and more of a when at this point

tallwookie,

life... finds a way

tallwookie,

https://www.twitch.tv/bobross ;)

great to watch & fall asleep to

tallwookie,

twitter was overvalued. reddit has made a lot of questionable business decisions over the last decade or so but their recent API change will be their death knell. it feel like a cash grab. I personally only use Twitch to watch Bob Ross reruns :P

tallwookie,

i've made mozzarella and ricotta, but never tried that. looks interesting

Reddit has permanently suspended my account for supporting Lemmy.

I have been supporting Lemmy recently a lot and made posts about Lemmy that got big reach. Today, sadly the reddit account through which, I moderated a lot of subs and spent time on, comes to an end. The reason was because I spammed according to reddit, but the reality is that they have censored me because I was hurting Reddit....

tallwookie,

same - but I deleted my 15 yr old account today along with a few others I havent used in years.
