I stopped talking about Linux because Winbros would brigade me.

Damn … we really need more people on lemmy.

@neil Right? But we won't stop fighting. 🥲

I noticed something:
People who have traveled a lot tend to judge less.

Pro-tip: You can tell someone to blur their background on Zoom calls without telling them that their home looks like a "junky basement."

Erica C. Barnett is out with a preview of her column for tomorrow... I don't even fuck with Erica(please note how infrequently I cite her) but she's landing based as fuck tonight and that's just plain sad as fuck with Katie Wilson.

If Katie getting getting dragged by Erica... lets just say you're neo-liberal as fuck.

It's a night I pray the ladies handle it bc it's not PC for Black dudes to criticize white ladies doin 1984 🤣

Google is dropping support so an alternative is needed.

yes there is some SRS involved.

my associate can receive to their custom domain email inbox in gmail and "send as" another domain from a mail client.

if you are not interested in this setup, I won't finish the explanation. (I even have a diagram!). But it is the only thing that comes to my mind to keep using google as an inbox and do a "send as" dnalounge,

I don’t know, size made it pretty bad. Subreddits with hundreds of thousands or more users create environments where no one is trying to have a discussion. People are just vying for attention. That creates an environment where comments are either all jokes, or all snark. It’s really, really hard to have anything that resembles a human experience in a place like that. People stop recognizing each other as people, and just treat everyone as an audience.

That makes for a pretty bad experience.

Prezident Petr Pavel přijme na Hradě premiéra Andreje Babiše. Pavel chce s Babišem mluvit o dopisu premiéra ohledně Ukrajiny, situaci kolem veřejnoprávních médií či bezpečnostních tématech, řekl před schůzkou.

And there, forgiving and accepting myself, well, my goodness, that's awfully GeePaw-centric isn't it.

Except, it's not.

Forgiveness and acceptance begin at home, you see.

If you can't do it for yourself, doing it for others is out of reach, it becomes a kind of theater of kindness. One makes these gestures, which is a good thing, honestly, those gestures do a lot of good, but it isn't the same as believing it.

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

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.
