  • All the death from COVID was just "fun crazy", eh?

  • Ah yes, let's link up a college town with a bunch of drunk kids with a complete lack of inhibition and a similar perceived lack of consequences. It will surely work great.

  • Indeed.

    Fuck Trump.

  • Didn't even read the story summary, huh?

  • I'm sure you and the five other people who agree with you can have a riveting conversation about how wrong the millions of fans are.

  • Friendship is a two-way street. If they resent you for the time when they could just as easily contact you too then they're not a good friend.

  • Lemmy moment. Isn't federation great?

  • Four*. FICO is another one and at one time was most commonly used for home mortgages. Not sure how true that is today, but it's still very much in use.

  • Given what I know about Senator Warren and her political career, especially the fact that she is one of the very few that isn't actually doing it despite the opportunity and is trying to prevent it at the same time? Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

  • I think you're confusing her with Nancy Pelosi.

    Elizabeth Warren has introduced legislation to prevent members of Congress from trading stocks.

  • You're right. But, the Fediverse is ActivityPub, and Threads is using ActivityPub, therefore Threads is part of the Fediverse.

    The beauty of the Fediverse is you can defederate from whoever you want. But don't confuse that with thinking that you can change the definition and rules of what the Fediverse is.

  • They can't bother you if you block them.

    For example I just blocked the entire Linux lemmy.ml community 1 minute ago.

  • Greedy little pig boy

  • Something something could, something something should. Centralized Wikipedia is not a problem in need of a solution.

  • This feels like a hasty "solution" to an invented "problem". Sure, Wikipedia isn't squeaky clean, but it's pretty damn good for something that people have been freely adding knowledge to for decades. The cherry-picked examples of what makes Wikipedia " bad" are really not outrageous enough to create something even more niche than Wikia, Fandom, or the late Encyclopedia Dramatica. I appreciate the thought, but federation is not a silver bullet for everything. Don't glorify federation the way cryptobros glorify the block chain as the answer to all the problems of the world.

  • To be fair, I tested this question on Copilot (evolution of the Bing AI solution) and it gave me an answer. If I search for "those just my little ladybugs", however, it chokes as you describe.

  • GDPR is no joke. Storing a handful of comments is not worth the penalty if they get caught.

    Note that I speak from experience as part of a company that needs to comply with the regulations. We do it because the risk of violation is 10000000% not worth it no matter how annoying and arduous it is to comply.

  • Worth it how? I feel like every post that claims about how much better Linux is after handling a bunch of tweaks and hacks and workarounds to get into baseline functional doesn't really get into what actually makes it better. After all of that heavy lifting, you're already at a disadvantage and I still hear nothing of the benefits. I start to wonder if the "better" is justification for all the effort that goes into tricking it to work rather than being meaningfully superior.

  • Opera IS a Chromium browser, you doofus!
