Man, I don't even. Silicon Valley is so fucking weird
Today, I am defeating creatures from another dimension, by throwing iced spheres of baked confectionary at them.
Go me. One of the first cake pop demon hunters.

One thing the explosion of GenAI reveals is a massive failure to apply the lessons from Theranos and WeWork. These CEOs will lie, deceive, and obfuscate in order to keep the wheel turning. We should assume dishonesty as the default.

@RickiTarr this is Bennie, the Bernie (he's as soft and fluffy as he looks).
@mastodonmigration @lauren I personally support a change in leadership, but I worry that you’re getting swept away by the fire and fury of your rhetoric. “The Schumer stink?” Is this necessary? Is it helpful?
Politics is complicated. Whatever the outcome of this intramural contest, winners and losers will have to work together for the serious business that lies ahead. There’s absolutely nothing to be gained by vilifying members of our own team.
@richardgrant @lauren Fair enough. Was referring to the political baggage of having voted for Schumer when he is so unpopular among the Democratic base. Several of these folks have presidential aspirations and hanging a vote for Schumer, particularly a secret process vote, around their necks will be a potential big liability in the primaries. But, you are right, there are nicer ways to make this point.
I give up.

Mosquito 
(Almost) ready to turn my beloved MacBook Air 2013 - which is gathering dust on a shelf - into a #Linux laptop.
Only problem: multiple people might have swayed me to pick Arch Linux as the distro. #ArchLinux!!! I know NOTHING but from all the Linux memes I've seen over the years, I've always been intimidated by it.
Debating whether to go with it or #Mint or #Ubuntu. Thoughts?
Edit / update: it's now a toss-up between Mint and Fedora. I may try Arch on my Raspi4
@_elena I was running Mint for a couple of years, then MX Linux. Now using Fedora / KDE exclusively.

Its not that big of a deal. Mods do have power to influence and control a community but I don’t think average users care enough to engage in this discussion required to do community governance.
Its hard enough trying to get people to give a fuck about voting for the leader of their country theres no chance they will care about electing a mod for a Lemmy community.
You’ve got instance Admins who can remove mods if there is to much of an issue. You can easily start a community with the same name. We have reasons why this won’t be as much of a problem as on reddit.

So if I create a community and spend my time curating it, it should be taken from me if someone posts a meme and gets up votes?
Usually people who complain about mods are a problem. In face lemmy has lazy mods. We need stronger enforcement in some of these communities so they can thrive
