i’m not gonna do it alone

it actually takes more energy to launch stuff into the sun, than to launch it out of the solar system. just saying.

so who is this for?

for myself, for example. i want to see more diverse content.

what if you are the overlord yourself? i.e. you manage your own life, kind of like in a video game. but also you’re in a (different) simulation at the same time. yeah, confusing, i know.

i’m pretty sure that most people wouldn’t. that is simply due to the reason that some kind of exotic overlord cannot be trusted with my actual wellbeing.

we all know how capitalism goes. it starts well, until they decide that you’re no longer of use, at which point they dispose of you. and that’s exactly what would happen in this case. so no.

omg that was a hilarious read. painful, but insightful.

1. block all news

2. post stuff about things that you care about? gardening? horses? wildlife photography?

just block all “US politics” communities and downvote every single post that mentions trump (or the democratic alternative candidate) that appears outside of those comms.

i think we need better federation with mastodon. at least, mastodon users should be able to see lemmy content and interact with it. (i can understand that the reverse, i.e. seeing mastodon content from lemmy is technically challenging)

that would give more exposure and interaction.

also not federating with mastodon would mean to break the promise of the fediverse, that it’s all (somewhat) compatible.

web-scraping is. however, ai companies pretending to be yet another instance and getting the data through federation does not cause much of a slow-down, since that’s what happens with other instances already anyways.

you sure they cost 600 dollars?

has 1 GB RAM:

bad idea IMO. i did this once, the device has to be permanently plugged in, which strains the battery. after a few weeks the battery inflated. that stuff can explode and set your house on fire.

better buy a raspberry pi. last time i checked they were $20 each.

i’m not sure how large the distance between us has to be sothat you have never made any of these observations when you actually look. how different can things be over at your place?

for a minimal window manager / desktop environment i can also recommend fluxbox

yeah, you’re right. it’s not all just about economics. it’s also about religion.

• “the right to self determination” stems from e.g. calvinism which advocates the “priesthood of all believers”, i.e. that every person is able to conceive what is right and good themselves, without needing the instruction of another. this effectively translates to the right to self-determination in a modern democracy, since a person who is physiologically able to make their own decisions should also be practically able to make their own decisions.

• the whole rest of the rights that you listed are more or less direct consequences of the right to self determination.

i used to, that was 10 years ago when i still believed that feminism would actually improve the world. instead, it has just made the world shitty in different ways.

women today all have mental illness. that comes from instagram, where they learn that the world is bad and they have to fear everything. women get told that the circumstances are unacceptable, that other people are out to hunt you, that you can never be satisfied. all of it contributes to an general unwellness.

on top of that, what has feminism actually improved? has it improved the relationship between men and women? no, it has just caused women to be angry at men all the time for being “predators” or something. sexual harassment may have gone down but so have serious attempts of starting relationships.

“hey, somebody logged into your signal account on desktop about an hour ago. might want to check that that was actually you”

i just logged into signal on my desktop app about 4 hours ago, and about 90 minutes after that i got a message from signal to my phone to inform me about this.

tldr: it’s to have nicer, less complicated I/O operations

it enables just having two API calls: read() and write() to do everything

in fact that gets used in abstract mathematics to first introduce the natural numbers. the empty set (nothing) (which you define as 0) is not itself nothing, so you can define the set that contains just the empty set, which now is not empty itself, but contains one element, so you define that as 1 …
