I’ve told people about Lemmy before. I got the same reaction everytime.

“It looks like it’s just people talking about computers.”

And their interest dies. Which tells me there needs to be more diversity of active communities. No one wants to come to a small platform, create a new dead community, and talk to themself.

I thought him and musk had a falling out?

Soooooooo…no restraint then? I don’t believe people who fuck kids HAVE morality.

How is this meant for THIS sub? I already have this same story in my feed 3 other times. But those 3 other posts are in news related subs. SOME overlap in content is to be expected as some subs content overlap.

But THIS post, shouldn’t be one of them.

BTW this message is not in any way meant to be a pro-ICE defending comment. Fuck ICE. They are criminals. They are American S.S.

The point is there are places we SHOULD discuss this story. Put all your comments in those posts. Not here.

In the early 90s, my grandfather assured me that he fought and killed nazis, so that my generation would never have to deal with them.

He didn’t say he cancelled the nazis. The word he used was “Exterminated”.

Maybe we should all do that again. Exterminate the nazis. Because quite frankly, this government is lousey with them.

Well…here’s the thing. Step 1 of your plan is to install windows 11.

In the words of Manny Calavera:

“I don’t really want to do that…”

Orrrrrrr, what if instead of cramming 4 million people onto the streets of NYC to watch a big ball drop, we instead rent out madison square garden, and have like…500 naked women on the floor, and dozens of other naked women in the stairs of the stands.

Some kind of dance routine, that involves lots of jumping and shaking.

I’d watch that. And I’d be warm.

Thats not what that means.

Also, thats not how that works.

You got me like oooOOOoooo!!!

Well well well. Seems a nice payday to WRITE a book using AI, and sell it. It doesn’t need to be good. In fact it should be terrible. That way people will learn to STOP TRUSTING AI TO RECCOMEND THINGS FOR THEM!!!

Yep. That tracks.

Ok…but what happens when a squatter has a gun?

When reddit first started, it almost failed because there was no content.

So what they did was had staff members post, and reply to each other. They made sure to reply to any actual new people. And then they did this from hundreds of automated accounts.

They simulated activity to promote actual real activity.

I know everyone will disagree with me, but I’d say DON’T flag them as bots. If the bots fool humans, and cause growth of the fediverse/lemmy? Great. In time you can turn off the bots. But only once actual humans are here.

Something like 173 million users.

A bowl is most usefull when it is empty serving your personal data to our overlords, the corporations.

That is an important step, yes.

However another important step is that the default distro needs to basically not even highlight that terminal exists.

If you’re trying to learn how to use linux, and step 1 of the tutorial is “open terminal”, you will lose 97% of your new install base. Then headlines will flood that linux machines are being returned in high numbers.

As much as you guys hate to hear this, the first experience for a new linux user needs to be intuitive. Before they even turn the machine on, they have to know how to use this software. Not because they are experts, but because the space and experience guides itself.

Then as you learn, you can customize a bit more, and from there linux can become a rabbit hole. But the point is, let the individual user control the depths which they dive. Because I suspect 90%+ won’t even change the desktop background. And thats ok.

Make it easy for the dummies, but then you individually can tinker if you want to. And it’s linux, so…ya know. Go nuts. But some people don’t want to do all that tinkering. That vanilla experience is what gets remembered to represent that OS. Even if you customized it and experienced it very differently.

Found the guy whos 6 year old somehow spent $900 on their credit card in minecraft

The internet foesn’t forget, but half the country refuse to believe anything not told to them by fox news. Thats how they know what their opinions are.

I hate how everyone treats Budh like a jolly lovable old grandpa.

And not…you know…A FUCKING WARMONGER!!!

I don’t know man…with all the shrinkflation, full size snickers are almost what halloween size was when I was a kid. And costs 6x what full size bars used to.
