Radical centrism strikes again!

Don’t a lot of places also have limited data plans, but unlimited data for using Meta and other big tech platforms? That’s still a thing right?

We’ll need a critical mass of well distributed nerds to make this happen.

This is why I like SomethingAwful forums too. Open since 1999 and an account costs $10. Just a little barrier to entry keeps out the worst people and trolls help fund the site by reregistering!

It’s not an alternate way to view Youtube, it’s a totally separate service. You’re not missing anything, if no one’s using it to post content, then there’s no content. Youtube is a tough one to compete with because the infrastructure needed to host that much data and distribute it is insane. Peertube is super niche and not many know about it, but I do wonder how fast scaling would become a problem if it suddenly got an influx of new users.

I also like how Lemmy has the “modlog” at the bottom. If conservatives are being treated “unfairly” you can see what got them banned and decide if the mods are being fair.

Shit! Was the gorilla wrong?

A book review of the Unibomber manifesto! 4/5 stars lol

Didn’t Musk find that out the first time too? He was advising Trump in 2016 and had a falling out after Trump left the Paris climate agreement.

“Must have confused us with Mexicans again. Damn Mexicans!”

Do you put in a fresh pair every night?

That probably depends on the instance.

Every few years I just create a new folder of the artists that I actively listen to and keep the older stuff out of my library but still in storage.

It’s not renewable but we have something like 200 years worth. It’s a cleaner stopgap than fossil fuels until we figure out fusion and build up renewable capacity.
