Case in point

See I get that but I also feel like Lemmy in some ways has more hostile discourse. Too many people with incredibly entrenched opinions about something incredibly niche who then proceed to shout down anyone who doesn’t partake in that niche.

Like at least on Reddit the aggressive circlejerks tend to align with mainstream thought. Like you don’t have to point out things like Linux isn’t actually perfect and there are reasons Windows may be better in some circumstances or that invading a foreign country because of something they might hypothetically do is not a nice thing to do.

Nah Essex is our Florida.

Would have been nice to have amended the headline to reflect the actual story.

Yeah but compared to British plugs that have a bajillion safety features.

I mean we do, but blaming them doesn’t make Linux more viable for high end GPU applications.

American plugs terrify me.

I suspect it’s a case of they thought they were getting a good deal out of this when they signed the contract but didn’t realise how much Taylor was going to take the piss until it was too late. Likely when the contract expires it probably won’t be renewed.

Tehe.

At this point being a Republican should be considered synonymous to being part of a conspiracy to commit treason and be treated as such.

And not just the instance admins would be at risk as well. Any time you view an image your device is making a local copy of it. Meaning every person who viewed the image even accidentally is at risk as well.

… I can think of one possibility - an instance known that lemmy.world recently defederated from.

Fuck no, we’re not taking him in.

And the command prompt uses the directory terminology anyway with the dir command.

I’d hate to live in a world where just because something isn’t immediately useful it shouldn’t be researched.

Being able to demonstrate the ability to suppress a sonic boom would be huge.

Oh you originally responded to me but I never said anything about cloud cover.

Isn’t the issue more going to be the solar power generation during winter - which happens to also be when energy demand is greatest?

I’m currently doing it mainly because I haven’t worked out what I want to subscribe to yet.

Also let’s not forget the Hexbear “Russia is good actually” posts.

Let’s be honest this is how it actually usually plays out:

1. Be a huge company

2. Make your employees sign an NDA

3. Make your code closed source

4. Use GPL code and not give a shit because you’re a huge company with a legal team bigger than your Dev team
