World news vs US politics (kbin.social)

Please. All of this is mostly US politics. Please do not hijack "world news" to mean whatever new shit Desantis or someone else said this week. Every other magazine/community/whatever is already full of that shit. Please....

YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin (kbin.social)

This is not an attempt to convert Lemmy users, nor is it a slight on Lemmy. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why Lemmy works better for some, and I love the fact that we not only have multiple choices, but multiple choices that allow us to interact with each other regardless! It's amazing. Lemmy is great, no shade....

Rant about Nvidia related updates on Linux (kbin.social)

There are many reasons to dislike Nvidia on Linux. Here is a little thing that bugs me all the time, the updates. Normally the system updates would be quick and fast, but with the proprietary drivers of Nvidia involved, it gets quiet slow process. And I am not even talking about any other problem I encounter, just about the...

Is there any more ethical solution to our current circumstances than "murder all billionaires"? (kbin.social)

Rant: I hate the term “normie”. (kbin.social)

Let me preface by saying, I would love to hear counter points and am fully open to the fact that I could be wrong and totally out of touch. I just want to have some dialogue around something that’s been bothering me in the fediverse....

Does it matter if I skip sponsored ad segments in YouTube videos? (kbin.social)

As in, would the channel be losing out on money? Because I don't want to take away from small creators if there is a retention rate for viewership of that exact segment, but I would prefer to skip any of the "but first check out this shitty mobile game".

/r/NonCredibleDefense recieves automated notice from the admins to remove its NSFW designation, or else. Mods respond by messaging the admins a bunch of death and porn. (kbin.social)

It is not Lemmy or kbin, it is the fediverse. (kbin.social)

I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer....
