auzy , to fediverse in Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

Problem is, it actually encourages a hive mind. I’ve already had 2 people try to bully me.

I’d go one step further. Upvotes down votes and totals should be hidden entirely. This would encourage people to post based on their own without external influence It reduces the incentive to use bots

auzy , to fediverse in Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

Already had one person today mention my down votes .

It didn’t validate their argument at all and without context it can be interpreted in any fashion to make it seem malicious

auzy , to news in Elon Musk may have to sell billions in Tesla stock to rescue X

From my understanding he overworks people. Is that correct?

auzy , (edited ) to news in Elon Musk may have to sell billions in Tesla stock to rescue X

The reality is… He is an engineer. Not all engineers have good ideas.

The difference is, he won’t accept criticism

I do software development and have had a few crap ideas (I once thought I could make a optimised OpenGL library using Matricies). The difference between normal people and him, is that when I got told it was a crap idea, I deleted the project. When he gets a crap idea, he attacks the person giving feedback, so there is NO incentive to provide anything but good feedback

When you’re surrounded by yes men you’ll only increasingly become over confident in yourself

I agree partially, but in practice, the LFP batteries should be fine (I would never trust the PowerWall 2).

Unfortunately, been looking at other alternatives, and there don’t seem to be many seamless home batteries that cut in instantly in the event of a power outage (like an online UPS) either.

The reality is though, I expect Tesla to lose this market anyway (they only just introduced the PowerWall 3 in AU… Even cheap chinese manufacturers have been using LFP for a while)

The only real engineering he’s done is likely the boring company (who the duck wants to drive in a claustrophobic one lane tunnel) and the submarine thing the cave divers said wouldn’t work (so he called them pedos)

auzy , to news in Elon Musk may have to sell billions in Tesla stock to rescue X

They won’t a tiny amount… But controlling share they might.

I can’t afford a Tesla. However, my biggest concern is that musk will half arse firmware or sabotage the company somehow.

If he doesn’t have controlling share, that’s a win and I suspect quality control will likely improve too

auzy , to news in Elon Musk may have to sell billions in Tesla stock to rescue X

The problem with Tesla really is Elon.

If he sells his majority stake, I suspect it would be a lot better.

The biggest reason against buying them is him. They also make more than cars (their powerwalls seem alright).

If X fails though, I suspect all those bigots will flood over to here (Facebook and X seem to be distracting them for now).

Let them have their nazi prison. Just make it not profitable

auzy , to programmerhumor in 1 hour in Java

And about 20 in perl. But the return trip is 300 years

auzy , to news in Teacher says contract wasn't renewed because he wouldn't use trans students' preferred names

Sounds like he was actually kicked for being disrespectful. You can use your freedom of speech to be an ass surprisingly enough

    I dunno if it does.

    A lot of these people go around smashing random rocks to uncover stuff they clearly plan to sell.

    To sell them, they’ll likely promote crystal healing and such and anti science, and of course be anti vax

  • auzy , to nostupidquestions in How is Lemmy better than Reddit?

    So… Two things…

    I have a funny story regarding modding on Lemmy…

    Ran into two bad mods the other day (related to the same convo). But, gist of the story is, I got into a discussion with someone who heavily exaggerated and claimed I wanted to kill an entire minority, as I only 80% agreed with them (they were basically demanding government benefits which would cause a huge issue if applied to other communities which was required to be fair , and they couldn’t even set the parameters of the rules for it). A Beehaw admin freely ignored the outrageous comment that the other mod made, and branded me instantly as “starting a fight”.

    As I was deleting my Beehaw account, I noticed that same non-beehaw mod had actually been in a thread I had also posted in a month ago which was discussing more conservative people moving to Lemmy (I’m VERY left). They basically said in the discussion they were constantly needing to remove “conservative” and people who were trying to start fights . This was ironic because doing the huge exaggeration thing and calling someone a derogatory name is basically out of the conservative playbook (and they were certainly the only ones fighting), and anywhere else it would be seen as rediculous behavior.

    People in that thread though also made it sound like the rest of Lemmy was a cesspool. This colored my opinion of Lemmy and I realised my opinion came from that same thread, so, I didn’t want to leave beehaw, and only took the leap recently.

    I was actually hugely surprised by Lemmy World. Everyone is a lot more respectful here than I expected and I think its even a better safe space than beehaw, where . There are a lot more connected instances, so the bad actors get drowned out easier, and it promotes a healthy discussion, where science is encouraged. We might not all agree, but it’s a lot easier to avoid echo chambers. The science memes community is also AWESOME on Lemmy and beats anywhere else imho.

    Reddit on the other hand, doesn’t seem to have good moderation (most mods are unpaid and the power hungry ones will try to manage hundreds of communities). It has degraded into people fishing for karma , and has a higher percentage of abusive people who also likely abuse others on facebook (many aussie subs have degraded into far right wing where science is discouraged and people purposely try to push an echo chamber). THere are a lot of good mods here though, and if you don’t like a community, you can block it and find another one… The cool part is that I suspect over time, this will eventually keep mods honest.

    The biggest problem is that Reddit SHOULD have acted on FatPeopleHate, the Donald and Female Dating strategy. They didn’t act on jailbait either apparently. Those people established themselves permanently into the community, grew to some of the largest communities and the moment mods left, many of those same communities likely did a power grab too. Reddit staff don’t really care either, and since the people running the servers don’t seemingly care (similar to facebook), it simply encourages them

    auzy , to technology in Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app

    Oh ffs… This is the one I have…

    And, you know what? The firmware sucks.

    You can’t even connect to wifi if you have two AP’s with the same name (which is literally everyone).

    I haven’t even installed the app in ages because it’s a PITA and has never worked 100%.

    But, they can guarantee my next one won’t be an anova again. There are much cheaper alternatives now
