words only have meaning because there is reality behind them backing them up
if you have no economic strength, you cannot so easily make demands

Decentralization is an essential element of the Fediverse.
I don’t get how you would get around choosing a server. Maybe make the recommendation algorithm easier? Like, ask clearer questions, ask fewer questions?
- Comment on A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. 3 days ago:
Why are these articles even published? They are so incredibly non-technical that it’s just impossible to get the point as a reader.
Why even link these articles here? Throw that pop-science in the trash bin, where it belongs.

dd if=user-complaints of=/dev/zero
is exactly what apple will do with these complaints
you could just as well burn your money or drive your car into a tree, as a form of protest. it’s a waste, either of time, money, or energy, but nothing is achieved that way.
- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 3 days ago:
I never got StreetComplete
as i understand it, there’s tons and thousands of datasets available about public infrastructure, but for some bizarre reason, StreetComplete asks us to fill in that information by hand? How stupid is that? only to make a ton of errors while manually copying in that information.

- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 3 days ago:
Truth is, these big companies don’t care about you. Or your opinion. You can threaten them about “switching to Linux”, but these companies will think twice and say:
- if we take this complaint seriously, we might retain one (1) customer, which makes us $1000 in the future
- if we follow Trump, we might get some favorable legislation, which makes us $10000000
how, do you think, will apple react?
- Comment on Why do the femcels and the incels not.... date each other? 4 days ago:
Well … just like the US economy is kept alive by the constant threat of unemployedness and therefore homelessness, the US society is kept moving by the constant “winning group”/“losing group” divide. If you would heal incels, there would be no “losing grouo” to look down upon anymore, and the US would have to create a new one, thus perpetuating the probldm.
- Comment on Why was Hitler so mean and hateful toward one group or another? I find it hard to believe he woke up one day and said you and you suck but these people over here are good. Taking it so far as killing? 1 week ago:
I’m not spreading anyone’s propaganda, if that’s what you’re saying.
I never said they were at fault for their own prosecution. That would be stupid to think.
I don’t actually know, and maybe the Jews were the good guys and unfairly used as a scapegoat for the problems at the time, or maybe not, i was not there, i have no way to tell. I only mentioned that they did own a lot of wealth, which I think can be objectively verified. That does not make them in any way inferior people though, not at all. I am not one of the “eat the rich” people that despises people simply because they are rich. Not at all. In fact, i highly admire jewish culture. I was merely trying to lay out an explanation. There can be no discussion when there is no hypothesis. No need to react so butthurt. Now, cheers!

The way i understood it was that at the time Jews did own a lot of wealth, much more than other people, and saw themselves as some kind of “better” or “elite” class. Many people did not like that, and that is the major reason why it was so easy for Hitler to find a lot of people to follow him.

- Comment on No good excuse to still be on Xitter 1 week ago:
It’s not really difficult but as far as i remember, you have to configure everything yourself, which can be tiring. Depends on your mood though, if you’re into configuring your own linux system, then i guess Arch is perfect for you.

you can’t compress most media files again, they don’t get smaller that way as they’re already compressed. you can’t compress files again, that’s against Shannon Information theory.

- Comment on Lemmy.zip Server Update February 2025 1 week ago:
First of all, thank you very much for the effort you put in, it really shows.
It really helps seeing usage stats like this, as i’m intending to set up my own instance. Thank you for the insightful information.
- Comment on Does ur instance proxy all media or do u serve the links directly to users? 2 weeks ago:
I think it depends on the client … you can make the client proxy the images through a tunnel or VPN to hide your IP address, but the network load needs to be on the client; the server cannot simply take that load by default.

- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s because people are overworked. No time for love, no time for friendship, sometimes not even enough time to take care of yourself properly.

no no, in fact i can sell you mine, too, if you want to, for a meager $21 million.
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 1 month ago:
For anyone seriously considering this: don’t.
“The LNG market is set to rapidly grow” is a lie. Economies are shifting away from fossil fuels, and i guess by 2040 no metric ton of fossil fuels will be transported anymore.
This is a waste of money. They just want to get rid of their end-of-use LNG tankers. So they are looking for idiots to buy them.

- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 1 month ago:
some people poop 3 times daily, others 3 times a week, both are considered normal.
- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 1 month ago:
I would guess (without knowing for sure) that it’s because your body absorbs a part of the food, so you poop out less mass than you eat.
- Comment on Is consciousness dependent on input to the brain? 1 month ago:
Well i read somewhere that in absence of signals the brain would just gradually become more sensitive until it even responds to things that aren’t there, basically hallucinating.

- Comment on Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated ‘Users’ No One Asked For 1 month ago:
yeah, when interacting with a project/tool/website/etc. you need to look at who’s behind it and what are their incentives. For facebook, that’s making money with ads. So they push ads down your throat.
It’s important to have communal, public-benefit organizations behind the tool you use
