My Gen Z son says these are Alphas and he doesn’t want to be associated with them.

I suppose that depends on your point of view.

Turning office space into living space is often mentioned in discussions like this. It should be noted that converting the space is not as easy as it seems. In particular, moving the plumbing infrastructure to support individual bathrooms and kitchens is extremely challenging and it makes some projects impracticable.

You don’t think that Lemmy and Reddit can both fail to meet expectations?

I mean, if you’re being invaded, doesn’t anything you do to fight back count as “defense”?

I know how everyone just wants to pipe up and say, “well it didn’t crush me hur hur”, but I actually watched the video. It’s a good record of what went down. I wish it would’ve mentioned Reddit alternatives, but it’s still solid work.

And to anyone who still maintains that the protest has fatally wounded Reddit, look, I’m on your side but Reddit is still the 800 lb gorilla of link aggregation, and most folks still don’t get why they should care about API pricing.

Of course, he may not realize that this dries up one of the largest sources of the Unity developers the clients he does care about uses.

I do, too, but it’s out of duty and I’ll stop when other people pick up the slack.

significantly worse than other cities like Atlanta Philly and Baltimore

Wait. Atlanta resident here. There are cities worse than us?

The reviews aren’t glowing, but the concept looks fascinating.

There has almost certainly already been a chilling effect from similar laws in Florida. Teachers cannot take chances: If they are fired for cause, they often have to move to another state to remain employable in their profession.

The whiny bitches to whom you refer clearly do not appreciate your analysis.

It was “Stable”, but money losing. Now it’s unstable but money losing.

Long term, yes, great for the planet. But shorter term, a shrinking pool of working aged adults are going to have to care for a growing pool of elderly. Additionally, the overall economy is going to contact before the age cohort imbalance takes care of itself. Same thing is happening across most of the developed world, but it’s happening faster in China, and they’re less developed to start with.

That’s an interesting principled stance. How should musicians provide for their familes?

c0c0c0 , (edited )

So, because they don’t pay artists enough, you shouldn’t pay them at all?

I’ve got the karma to spare so I’ll be clear about it. I’m not going to say you have to pay for music. That’s between you and the people you want to keep making music for you. You can fly the black flag all you want, and it does make you something of a rebel, but it does not make you any kind of hero.

c0c0c0 ,

When was this? When did people who need to devote their life to a craft long enough to get good at not want, even need, to be paid for it? There have always been hobbyists, and maybe that’s all you want, but there has never been a time when musicians would not have preferred to be supported by their passion, rather than the job they had to do in order to keep eating.

This is utter nonsense. If the US was a dictatorship, I wouldn’t be scared to death of the upcoming elections.

I have never before encountered someone who used the word “bourgeoisie” unironically. So cute! Now say something about the proletariat and the means of production!

Go home, Joe. You’re drunk.

You know that account you set up 6 years ago and used only as a verification email for a site you almost never go to? Won’t you be surprised next time you need to reset your password.

It hides the true cost of the meal and allows both the employee and the employer to avoid taxes on this part of the “salary”

Automaker Tesla is opening more showrooms on tribal lands to avoid state laws barring direct sales (techxplore.com)

Automaker Tesla is opening more showrooms on tribal lands to avoid state laws barring direct sales::Tesla is ramping up efforts to open showrooms on tribal lands where it can sell directly to consumers, circumventing laws in states that bar vehicle manufacturers from also being retailers in favor of the dealership model.

c0c0c0 ,

I’m conflicted. These direct sales prohibitions are naked efforts to protect a market segment nobody likes. But, on the other hand, Elon.

c0c0c0 ,

See? This is Lemmy at its finest, where a lack of (displayed) karma encourages people to just be their honest selves!

c0c0c0 ,

Yeah, I really don’t get why people would care much about branding. It’s everything leading up to that that’s starting to wear people out.

c0c0c0 ,

Begin rich makes one feel infallible. Thinking one’s self to be infallible leads to these kinds of decisions.

Since Poland was restored at the Treaty of Versailles, it has invaded exactly 0 countries. Russia has invaded a few dozen. Including Poland. Twice.

People will do batshit crazy shit if they think God wants them to.

Not sure if this was an argument for karma, but it sounds like an argument for avoiding contraversy and trying to fit in This is why everyone on Reddit appears to have the same opinion. I much prefer a diversity of opinions, and no penalty for speaking one’s mind (while treating each other with decency).

Karma makes sense, in theory, but in practice, it just punishes anyone who diverges from the herd.

c0c0c0 ,

Agreed. As others have pointed out, voting helps to elevate higher quality posts (even if it doesn’t always work that way), but karma takes that imperfect process to its ridiculous extreme.

c0c0c0 ,

Here’s another maybe: It might be a good if all of these content consumers moved on to another server. If they don’t understand/appreciate the point of the metaverse, what are they contributing?

c0c0c0 ,

Funny that 2 days seems too long ago.

PHP is as secure as it’s developer makes it. There are excellent frameworks out there that make security simple. And then, there is WordPress.
