- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 4 days ago:
GLP-1, omezpic, and WEGOVY also is a threat to alcohol industry.
Why? Do thin people not drink?
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 4 days ago:
not a single right you have that wasn’t won via violence.
Same sex marriage. Transgender rights.
Could make you wonder how much power the elite had to shed for those.

And tanks are too heavy for the road anyway
At some point that doesn’t matter.

I think the Brave browser does it with Chrome. Wouldn’t the source control tool do most of the maintenance?

Microsoft should double down on data center construction.
Yes, Microsoft should invest big in hardware!

ITS HARDCODED so it affects every instance.
It’s open source. Every instance can change it and if something is common, people can maintain the patch together.
Lenmy devs who are unpalatably heavy handed in their “moderation” on the ml instance.
Which is their instance. I don’t like the hate they receive. They have established a social network that allows everybody to run their own instance with their own moderation. To present them as the villains must be nurtured by the establishment.
So it’s funny that it’s even stricter
Absolutely
- Comment on Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social 1 week ago:
But why is hardcoding shit code for open source code? The code is easier to read because no if or switch statements are needed to distinguish between the options. No configiration menu has to be maintained.
- Comment on Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social 1 week ago:
lol hardcoded shit everywhere
It’s open source. Why not? People who want a configuration menu can create a patch.

People eat this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisp_sandwich
It’s essentially the same.
They even have it pre-made.

That’s why toast with crisps is the more popular food.
- Comment on TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture 1 week ago:
Worse than spying - manipulating politics and social cohesion.
Which could also be manipulation. Young TikTok watchers are only a fraction of the voters. The change in outcome could mainly be driven by excluding the right-wing candidate from the second election.

What made evolution accelerate that dinosaur evolution took so long, but turning little mammals into humans was fast?
- Comment on Teach me 1 week ago:
It takes a lot more exercize to burn food off than people think, especially to burn fat off.
It’s not necessarily the intensity but the duration. The exercise must be long enough that fat is metabolized.
Depending on several factors, there can be a 10–20 min period of time after the onset of exercise until fat metabolism can catch up with carbohydrate metabolism.
- Comment on Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public 3 weeks ago:
Would instances federate if Digg would implement the Lemmy protocol?
- Comment on What a great idea 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think that. I think that a good society comes from interacting with people and helping them develop. There is no need for separate spaces if people teach each other how to use credit cards or how to pack bags efficiently.
- Comment on What a great idea 3 weeks ago:
For a place as left as Lemmy, the idea of shopping without disturbing people is surprisingly popular.
It’s like Socialism, don’t call it by its name and everybody likes it.
- Comment on Maybe the trauma you experienced is actually just you being bored and thrill-seeking in an immersive VR story, and you'll wake up and everything will be fine... right? ... Right? 3 weeks ago:
Was my joke so bad?
But seriously, everything will be fine.
Have you tried letting go of your attachments?

and as a way of interacting with thoughts.
Better?
But then, are numbers real?
- Comment on Haste/Impatience should have been one of the deadly sins. 3 weeks ago:
No, not that summary.
(Please excuse that quip)
There is a difference between the usage of the story as explanation of the physical reality and as a way of interacting with the spiritual reality.
Law works because we assume free will while there is not much room for it. Similarly, a society can be constructed by telling more elaborate stories. Those stories don’t have to be true but they can be formed by many hours of critical thought.
- Comment on If the protests in Iran win/topple the government what will it look like immediately afterwards? Also what would be the good or bad about installing a monarchy again? 3 weeks ago:
My guess is that it is about establishing this supply line for a war with China and Russia.
en.wikipedia.org/…/Anglo-Soviet_invasion_of_Iran
I can’t imagine that the protests succeed. If they do there would be a power vacuum which should allow for the independence of the Kurdish and Azerbaijani regions and maybe also of smaller regions of other minorities. Contested land, e.g. with Qatar or Iraq could also be taken.
- Comment on we need more users 3 weeks ago:
I would do it myself but I can’t get an AI to code apps
Ask the app devs. They know how to easily set a default. There can still be an option to change the account and server deep down in a menu.
Their win is that if that modified app becomes popular it essentially still is their app and they will attract new developers and support.

Very little critical thought went in to the construction of that belief system.
What’s your argument for that?

The Connection: Use Tailscale.
Be prepared that this can be shut down.
There is no way around talking with politicians and other citizens to make sure that human rights and democracy is not further abandoned.
