- Comment on Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable 2 months ago:
People said the exact same thing about reddit being only good for technology enthusiasts and porn in the early days.
In my experience that is just how it goes on the internet. Nerds, furries, and porn collectors, are the early adopters for most places. The normies follow along years later.

- Comment on Restart an OOM killed docker automatically 4 months ago:
In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.
And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.
- Comment on Restart an OOM killed docker automatically 4 months ago:
You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.
This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.
We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.

There is still some nice, decently priced, forest land in Canada if you are OK with no services and 4 months of wet snow!

Just be careful where you use it. The active chemical is VERY dangerous to aquatic and amphibian life, and can cause serious problems in cats. Dogs don’t seem to be impacted though.

I grok what you are saying. I just don’t feel that way. To me, music is too subjective to expect anyone to like anything, even if I think it is the bee’s knees.
Maybe it helps that I have always had fairly ‘out there’ musical tastes so I am never shocked when someone doesn’t like something that I do.
- Comment on 400,000 species 7 months ago:
Nah. I’m 46 and have never liked them.
You can appreciate and respect that somebody did something innovative while still not liking that innovative thing.

This kind of bullshit generalization leads me to believe this conversation wouldn’t go very far. I’ll stop here. Cheers.

I would argue they are. My reasoning for this argument would be pointing at the history of the working class.
What is your reasoning for saying they are not?

I don’t think I was confusing the defed from blocking, I was confused about what you meant. Thanks for the clarification.

I will still see the comments from threads users on lemmy. Just not the post from threads.

Like I said, I don’t care what others do. But for me the correct answer is to not interact with users from that platform.
When I start seeing threads users in .world lemmy comment sections I will block .world.

I’m not comfortable with assuming the dregs of Facebook will leave Lemmy alone. I’ll stick to instances that have defederated and I’ll actively block instances that don’t.
I’m not out here trying to stop you from being on federated instances or anyone else. But I will not personally support instances that allow that monster into the ecosystem.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 11 months ago:
Fair. But I’m on lemmy for discussion I don’t want threads’ bobbleheaded userbase fucking up every discussion thread on lemmy. So I will stay on instances that have de-federated that shithole and urge other instances to do the same.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 11 months ago:
Not quite the same result. Blocking the instance stops you seeing their posts, but not the comments coming from their users.
- Comment on Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies 11 months ago:
I will cherish that day!
It will probably happen if this capitalist wet-dream mellows a bit and government is incentivized to provide their own internet infra regardless of profit. But I am 45 and will probably be long decomposed by then.
But in the near-term - I can’t see any land-based ISP covering where I live.
The cost to run 15km of lines to town, when even power poles don’t exist, just to service me and the one other nutter who decided to live up here would be prohibitive even for govt funded public internet.
- Comment on Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies 11 months ago:
That starlink solves the remaining piece of missing infra that a normal person needs, regardless of the choice to live in a city or not. Even if the CEO is a blight on our species.
- Comment on Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies 11 months ago:
But I can build my own power and water infra. And I have. I can’t build my own connection to the internet, which I need to have in order to make money to do the rest of what it takes to live.
