Keep in mind that these apps are run for profit by corporations. You meeting someone suitable and leaving the app, means less revenue for them.
So they can be fun to mess around for a while, but unless you’re extremely lucky, don’t expect long lasting relationships from them. - Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 2 weeks ago:
What do you mean ! Women got the right to vote by asking nicely, so did workers when they got the 40h work week. Same for black people and civil rights, all was achieved by gently kissing the ruling class boots.

Percussive maintenance is a real thing!
- Comment on An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate 3 weeks ago:
LLMs and generative AI will do what social media did to us, but a thousand times worse. All that plus the nightmarish capacity of pattern matching at an industrial scale. Inequalities, repression, oppression, and corruption will skyrocket because of it. It’s genuinely terrifying.

Yeah, it’s started to roll out on their new hardware:
- Comment on New server for the family, Proxmox or TrueNAS, LXC or Docker? 4 weeks ago:
I’d not recommend Synology anymore, as they’re starting to implement vendor lock on their drives and NAS boxes. As in, you’ll have to use their drives for the Nas to work.

I mean, if that guy fixed his racism, literally everybody can, so that’s somewhat encouraging

Yeah that would make sense
- Comment on Owners of second homes in Wales are having to sell up. That’s no disaster: it’s a godsend 1 month ago:
I wish I owned my home but unfortunately, I don’t have rich parents :(
- Comment on Owners of second homes in Wales are having to sell up. That’s no disaster: it’s a godsend 1 month ago:
Because it’s not unreasonable to have a primary home and maybe a vacation home, or a family home, or a rental. More than that is absurd.
The scarcity would decrease pretty fast, coupled with a situation where private companies can’t own houses and apartments, that would pretty much solve it - Comment on Owners of second homes in Wales are having to sell up. That’s no disaster: it’s a godsend 1 month ago:
Allow one primary house, and a second one, tax the rest to fucking oblivion if not sold within a reasonable time frame

Zelenskyy should give Trump a plane and a mobile MacDonald’s, the conflict would end within a day.

Pretty much, especially now with NextCloud Talk, which they are working on to compete with teams.
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 1 month ago:
It would be very naïve to think they won’t go against Wikipedia and the fediverse at some point unfortunately…

They watched Conclave too !
- Comment on It would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generate 2 months ago:
It’s bad because it uses tons of space and resources that could be used for other things. It also promotes mono culture and it usually uses fertilizers and pesticides that are not necessarily allowed on other crops, as they won’t be used as feed.
So, it’s bad for biodiversity, bad for land use, bad for resource use. The upside of being a low carbon fuel is completely offset by the impact it has on nature. - Comment on It would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generate 2 months ago:
Don’t compare nuclear and renewables, compare both to fossil fuels and greenwashing garbage like biomass and bio ethanol.
- Comment on Right-wing media generating hysteria over trans women running non-competitively in London Marathon 2 months ago:
They threw tantrums when a cis woman won boxing matches at the Olympics.
- Comment on 4chan has been down since Monday night after “pretty comprehensive own” 2 months ago:
The only reason I could see to fork 4chan would be to be even more degenerate. So I guess that’s a safe bet.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ 2 months ago:
Not shitting outside, and catching or dying from treatable diseases, and income tax if they get a job. If they don’t have to live outside, everyone benefits.

- Comment on France far-right leader Bardella cancels US speech after ex-Trump aide makes 'Nazi gesture' 4 months ago:
Pretty much, smart move from him, but he’s very much on the same side as Bannon.
- Comment on In the Trump era, renewable energy isn’t green — it’s ‘dominant’ | Clean-energy executives are tailoring their pitches for the president and his political allies. 4 months ago:
Whatever works I guess. Make solar panels and windmills manly and strong, green power with testosterone crushing the feminine woke coal !
- Comment on Trump says new US sovereign wealth fund could purchase TikTok 4 months ago:
Wow, what a surprise heh ? If TikTok becomes a new Shitter, that will have devastating effects on younger people… Even more so than what it actually does.
- Comment on Norway on track to be first to go all-electric 5 months ago:
They didn’t get high on their own supply and got a massive national fund from it. A bit hypocritical but definitely nicely played. Better than most other countries who used that money for ego projects or imperialistic madness.
