@TheBreadmonkey we had bagpipes this morning

@drahflow Oh, mother fucker :(

People make fun of vi because it’s hard to get out, but it says right there: “esc : w q”. Whereas getting out of emacs apparently requires the gradual realization over the course of decades that all of your heroes are monsters and the ideological basis of the liberatory movements you championed in your youth are inherently flawed, and they are futile exercises

@TheBreadmonkey I always thought those things were called Schnoozlebops. Thanks again gramps, you dick.

Giving a keynote address in Linköping today at a Scandinavian conference on AI and Automation. Ten provocations for the future of robots and AI, from studying Nasa spacecraft teams. Should be fun!

To be honest, here I’m also feeling that you can’t say some things if you don’t want to get insulted and downvoted.

I have almost nothing positive to say about Windows so I don’t really mind if only Linux is allowed, but I feel like you have to have an anti-state and anti-police stance here.

I’m none of these and I really understood that it’s difficult to have a different opinion here.

Still, I’m enjoying Lemmy/PieFed, but nuance seems more difficult to have here because it ain’t full of « normies ».

About size, I guess it would be nice to have less dead communities, so probably nice to have more people in these.

thats the same time i got bans, the gop in trumps first term was threatening social media platforms, if they dont “censor anti-right wing content, they would be liable to lawsuits”

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

I noticed a profound change in moderating about the time TheDonald became popular. People started getting bans after this for things they would have never been banned for before and it wasn’t the racist/sexist people getting banned.

I eventually received a subreddit ban after leaving a comment in a conservative Reddit effectively stating the Republicans should take out Ron Desantis like the dirty diaper he was. When I pointed out to the moderators that what I said was rather tame compared to other comments they claimed I was harassing them (for exactly one appeal message). I received a 24hr site ban over this which was both bizarre and confusing. I started to disengage after this and after the API changes I stopped using it completely.

Respekt an @ArRo https://www.t-online.de/unterhaltung/stars/id_101522768/armin-rohde-verbluefft-mit-aussagen-ueber-tiere-sehr-beunruhigend-.html
PS Respekt auch an Martin Brambach, der sich um ein neues Hundehaus im Tierheim Recklinghausen kümmert.
Auch hier im Pott. Es muss bloß wieder alles zusammengehen. Zum Beispiel in einer Kneipe oder an einem Büdchen zwischen Bochum und Recklinghausen.
Das Fediverse ist dann da …

Rappel.

@brad There’s an isosceles triangle formed by the two radii and a. So you can compute the third angle, and from there, pi - that angle, and so b. Divide the isosceles triangle in two, a/2 should be r*cos(theta).
