Try not caring. The more Reddit users come here the more it’s going to suck.

This is just bot-driven FUD anyway, Lemmy is nothing like old Reddit and it wouldn’t be disqualifying if it was.

Ounce for ounce, this shit is wildly expensive. You could eat far cheaper and not be you know… eating fucking cat food.

It’s not like Reddit stopped existing. Lemmy will (hopefully) never be Reddit. That means that some itches Reddit will still have to scratch.

I’m rocking an SE2 and probably next year I’ll reluctantly upgrade to an SE3, which I will keep for at least two more years. After that, I’m fairly certain I’m cooked, as all available phones will be faceid phablets. FML.

Frankly, whatever secret sauce it is that makes social media popular is also what drives them to be such shit and be so shit for society. I like Lemmy way more than I like Reddit, and even though I have to go back to Reddit from time to time to fill the needs of my niche interests (which can get no traction where there are not mobs of participants in the greater whole) I never ever look at my interactions there and go “I wish Lemmy was more like this.”

It’s a conundrum.

One of the few conspiracies I actually subscribe to is that there is no legitimate stock market anymore, it is 100% under price control. Wins and losses - such as they are - are being determined by huge banks and hedge funds using AI algorithms, dark pools and phantom shares to maintain an iron grip. I got started down this path when I read Michael Lewis’ book Flash Boys, which, like this video was made over 10 years ago.

It’s OK, you’re wrong.

The iPhone came out in 2007. That was the year the worm turned, imo.

Personally I never even considered installing it because of its stupid name.

Not sure if serious, but there’s a million ways to do this, some that require importing thousands of lines of code and none of which are guaranteed to work in all possible circumstances. But here’s a simple one.

I don’t think this is legit because even as I was reading it, I was expecting it to sound a lot worse than it ended up sounding. Like, it didn’t sound great or anything, but it didn’t sound nearly as fucked up as I would expect firsthand descriptions of piled-on legacy code to sound after almost 50 fucking years.

Would no longer matter in these United States one whit. Godspeed, Europe.

Did he vote for Trump? Not trying to be provocative, just curious.

How do you feel about blaster? I had it recommended to me and some old spark plugs I hit it with came right out.

While it’s true that people can’t take a joke anymore, it’s also true that back when an ad like this might have appeared, these kinds of jokes were considered vulgar and wouldn’t be in print, at least not hawking a product from a reputable company.

You’ve got the right idea, that video is spot on. I quit software for “work” in 2010 and moved to a job working for myself (self directed) doing work that I felt mattered (purpose driven) and that was work that required constant self improvement, both mental and physical (mastery). I’m no longer behind a desk, I meet new people every day and I am much happier. I also write more software now than I ever did at “work,” because I write software with the express intent of supporting my self-employment endeavors - and not for anybody else.

Nobody said they are. However, “a great fediverse alternative to Facebook” does not mean, in the minds of most people who might read it: “you could host a website that would serve as a great fediverse alternative to Facebook.”
