This is why pirating is justified. If you want your shows to last forever, torrent them, and keep them seeded.

decicelsisus. It would only be 0.1kC when water is boiling. That’s not very fun.
- Comment on Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous? 2 months ago:
It sounds like everyone but mods should be able to see voters. But of course they will use straw accounts. What if only votes on your own post/comment were revealed to you? Like some pointed out, they are already not anonymous to anyone who wants to try hard enough to get the data because of federation. So the question is who do we want to be able to see that data easily? It’s a GUI modification in any case. Who are we making the gui modification for?
- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 2 months ago:
For this user base it is the right answer. So many petty downvoters. On my site I’m considering a rule that would make it so you can’t be the vote that casts a comment into the negative without giving a reason, and then that reason would be turned into a comment. If something is worth downvoting then it is worth explaining why someone is wrong. If you can’t do that maybe you shouldn’t downvote. I don’t think you should have to do that every time. But if a comment is going to go negative someone should step up to the plate and bother to articulate. That way a comment can’t get hidden away from the public just because a petty mob that can’t even present an argument sees it as convenient if certain information disappears.
So in that case the downvoter who crossed it into the negative would not be anonymous.

Chase the penguins. Cease the day. That’s what I say, because I’m the coked up personality.

- Comment on Texas power prices briefly soar 1,600% as a spring heat wave is expected to drive record demand for energy 5 months ago:
Besides that one time power goes out more often in California. In Texas you just have a temporary price surge you could treat like a blackout if you wanted to. The difference is it’s less often and you have a choice.

There are vegans that were dictators. Therefore veganism should be illegal. Also some people who breath air have been known to be murderers.

I think maybe they are describing themselves.

They think LGBT is benefited by having more visibility. In reality it puts them center stage for anti-LGBT rhetoric and the world is more antagonistic. In the 90s nobody cared about the gays.

Just stop using microsoft. Why would you sign into the cloud to use your local computer. Actually own your hardware with Linux or BSD. Do I own it or do they?

But not with nearly every vehicle being one of them and operated by people with CDLs that understand a lot of the safety features of the road aren’t going to work for them.

If you want society to rely less on cars stop subsidizing roads.

What’s going to stop you from taking over? It’s a completely symmetric situation until you decide the world shouldn’t be defined by effort but instead utopia is defined by someone else applying thought control on anyone but you.

I am trying to make it more balanced. In an ideal world I would like it to be here: img.gvid.tv/i/4EhvD43g.png
But like I said elsewhere I’m not in the market of controlling what other people think so I’m going to let people who decide they want to influence what the site becomes do exactly that.
I think this is one of the benefits of positional posts. On every site it seems that there has to be a conflict over who occupies it in exclusion to others. But what if these people just interacted less? What if people who want to see only posts like their way of thinking could get exactly that. And people who want to see an uncurrated representation of all thought could see that. That’s the benefit of positional posts plus letting people weigh the factors of the algorithm themselves.
Maybe small free speech sites always end up dominated by the wrong people because the right people give up too easily.

It doesn’t have to be. You guys can make it whatever you want ;)

Ok. That will be a candidate for the name change.
- Comment on You guys should check out the reddit clone I've been working on 8 months ago:
Well I screwed up. The other reason why I didn’t worry too much about it is it was at one stage it was just an internal project name and I kept working on it. Yeah, figuring out the right name for it is a step I should do quickly.
- Comment on You guys should check out the reddit clone I've been working on 8 months ago:
Yeah. Giving big corporations control over what other people say or think and allowing them the power to warp people’s perception of consensus is guaranteed to put them at odds with their user base. And it’s always a matter of time before that ends up affecting your particular user group. For what it’s worth I have no interest in controlling what people say or think.

I know. Around the time I did the first bought of development on it matrix decided they were going to become element which was going to free up the name. They decided to keep both. I’m at a loss for a good name that describes that posts have position. That the posts exist in a matrix makes sense to me. I have plans to run a poll on a name change. I know I could always do something completely random. Like Lemmy. That doesn’t tell you what it does at all. But my particular brand of creativity makes me want to name things functionally. And Matrix is just so freaking perfect for what it is. All the other similar options are way too nerdy. Latent, vector. I just need to get down with the truly random.
