As COP31 is destined to be another meeting filled with empty promises, here are some cartoons I did about COP30, 29, 28 and 27.

Thanks for including https://coding.social/blog/prosocial-web

Though linking it as "mainstream appeal" misses the point of the article, I think. Mainstream appeal is what 'growthhackers' of the fediverse are seeking. Prosocial web isn't about that.

It is about finding a new way, gaining a different perspective, on what social networking entails. It is about "reimagining social" online. Social networking is what we do for ages offline. We need natural extensions of that into our digital worlds. Where that becomes seamless, we shape a peopleverse.

Right now fedi is one big microblog, soapboxes on public squares where I can only shout this msg to you.

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.

@s_wilson @jannem I want to get better so specific critiques are always welcome! What I don't like, but get all the time, is "your Italian sucks". Ok great, so what do ya want me to do about it? Stuff like your telling me about the double consonants was super helpful!

@publicvoit Normal relativ, kenne den KV jetzt nicht, ich war früher Service und Kundendienst Leiter von Laufen AT und Geberit. Gerade bei den Geberit Produkten mit Elektrik hat man so KV gemacht was es sein kann Anfangs, das kam nie gut an bei Kunden.

Klar vom Fehlerbild und Erfahrung kann man es eingrenzen und ich würde spontan die Steuerung auch mit vermuten , aber eben nur mit.

Ich hätte gesagt Anfahrt kostet Betrag X, Wir analysieren vor Ort , haben alle Teile dabei und machen nach der Analyse ein Gespräch und sagen Kann das oder das.

J'adore ! 😂🤣

Olisi kiva itsekkin saada oma vuosipalkka kolminkertaisena, jos viitsin tehdä töissä töitä.

"Katsauksen mukaan suurissa pörssiyhtiöissä keskimäärin 36 prosenttia toimitusjohtajien palkkioista on kiinteää vuosipalkkaa. Loppuosa muodostuu muun muassa kannustinpalkkioista, jotka maksetaan vain, jos toimitusjohtaja täyttää hänelle asetetut tavoitteet."

@CCC ich wollte gerade korrigierend eingreifen, "das ist doch erst morgen", aber morgen wird im Plenum über die "Reform des Nachrichtendienstrechts", die den BND mit - und ich zitiere wörtlich - >>"pezifischen Befugnissen“ zur Abwehr von unmittelbaren Gefahren, die er im Rahmen seiner Aufklärungstätigkeit entdeckt<< ausstatten soll.

Man kommt ja gar nicht mehr hinterher.

@tinker no wonder I am single, if the CEOs take all the women.

Making an MR on sourceforge which loosely depends on another one I made on gitlab.com… feels a bit like joining two completely different corporate-forge eras.

@divVerent @tuban_muzuru they hadn't invented baritones yet back then

No seriously, "baritone" as a classification didn't arise until the early 19th century

@Xibanya @jannem I'm so happy about this, TY

Another one! (I reckon it is a different mouse...)

Bach doesn't do much distinguishing between baritone and bass.
