  • Fun true story. I tried EoP when I moved into my townhome to feed Ethernet to my TV. For like 6 months I get weird issues where my TV would stop letting me connect from my phone.

    Trying to diagnose it, I started disconnecting stuff. Finally, I had a single EoP plugged into wall and nothing else. Still had Internet, WTF ...

    Turns out one of my neighbors also has EoP and I was connecting to his network. Crazy shit

    Went to MoCA after that.

  • Yeah there are use cases

  • Yup, there is also Ethernet over coaxial cable TV.

    It's kinda niche, especially with improvements in WiFi over the years.

  • Two different directions depend on the handle orientation. The handle correlates to the pic below it.

    Took me a minute.

  • [META] Community feedback sought on our proposed adoption of a new posting requirement: Providing alternative text with every post and comment that includes videos, GIFs or images

    Jump

  • I agree with the other two replies, while this is a noble endeavor, it will affect participation and growth of the community negatively. Especially if it is a strict requirement.

    I think it will lead also lead to low quality "alt-text" as people just enter "stuff" that doesn't really help any one.

    I think waiting 48 hours to remove posts will also have a negative impact as it cuts off ongoing discussions in comments. I know it would annoy the hell out of me if I was discussing something with another user and our discussion disappeared. If it is going to be required, it should be required to post initially, (if that's possible in lemmy)

    What is the driver of this change? Are you getting complaints of missing text or requests to add it? How many users rely on it?

    I do like the idea of sending a reminder. "Hey we noticed your post is missing alt-text, it is strongly encouraged to help less fortunate users". But just leave it at that.

    Overall I feel that restricting user engagement is generally a bad thing when the community relies on said engagement for content. It's necessity should weighed carefully.

  • Great that is what I thought.

    So it provides, absolutely no control over those making decisions abusing that power power for personal gain. In fact even less so though capitalism...

  • Please give a couple examples of how it does so. I'm by no means an expert.

    If propaganda is your concern, communism relies on complete altruism of EVERYONE just to get off the ground. And then it is a free for all to who grabs power first and turns into a dictatorship...

    And discussions comparing it other systems are useless, because people end up comparing a real system to the ideal theory of communism. Because it's never worked.

  • Guided By Voices

    Jump

  • And communism isn't? It's much worse in fact, as it provides zero control. There's a reason every attempt at communism so far has turned into a dictatorship before it even got started.

    Note, in no way am I saying capitalism is good.

    The real issue no system is capable of controlling human greed long term...

  • Not really at its core, the problem, is like most things humans touch, is extremism and twisting it into an excuse to be an evil piece of shit.

    Same with communism, it doesn't limit free speech or create dictatorships. It's just every attempt at it so far as ended up there

    The overall issue with every system so far. Is they've been completely incapable of keeping the worst humans from rising to the top and ultimately destroying the system.

  • True but most of the places people would be inspired to write anti-communism music, they'd be in jail or worse for doing so...

  • Yeah the tipping point is going to be AI/robot quality and mass production scale/cost.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see "robot" clubs at some point...

  • Ummm private equity firms have been evilly destroying companies since the early eighties at least.

    Police- 1270

    Mass shootings- 500ish (actually a down year)

    While I agree we need police reform, let's be accurate.

    Both problems need extensive work.
