i loved the toyota 20r

haha boy are you barking up the wrong tree

Monetization in the verse is largely ‘community supported’… ie donations

youre out of your element donny

not if they dont hear about it

thats not anti-elitism… thats sadomasochism

the White House East Wing Restoration Project, headed to a presidential race near you!

i was thinkin of beans for lunch. but were out of chips

there is a non-zero chance that a trillion dollar war was started because a fox news correspondent mentioned something to a pedophile president.

sorry if lemmy doesnt seem that far out there

DNS is controled by ICANN, a US orga. Trump could effectively shut down the whole internet

dude. dont put this in print, he might find out. the guy has zero boundaries, ethics or morals.

if they are well off, when they begin to need assistance with day to day shit they will likely move into an ‘assisted living facility’. there are actually a few tiers of these kinds of places from almost no help to full monitoring.

if they have the money, they dont need you.

personally, i wouldnt sweat it. aint your circus.

some would consider ‘not death’ a win… more than should

they are entirely different contexts of communication. mastodon is a ‘microblog’ platform, where one person tends to broadcast to a group of subscribed users

lemmy is just forums with threaded discussion… many to many as it were.

personally, ive always generally hated the twittersphere (microblogging), and avoid it mostly. but it is nice being able to subscribe to the small number of microbloggers i do enjoy thanks to mbin’s built-in integration.

could you do something weird like take the state with the least population, and set that as a floor for every other state? alaska gets 1, california gets round(population/alaska population) ?

the civil war was never really handled properly

i gotta admit, the last decade sure feels like the confederacy has won a long, simmering war.

i see 404s all the time on deleted threads/comments. when i look in my history i see stuff, when i attempt to click into it, it turns out that thing was moderated and deleted and shows a 404. the metadata technically still exists in places, but in others it is now inaccessible. and thats just my platform, which is not lemmy. every platform handles things slightly differently.

“reliably”? im surprised it works at all…

kinda like email. ever try manually sending an email via telnet? crazy the shit works at all

i sometimes think if ai acted just like humans, it would be considered a failure.

makes sense that it took us a million years to invent the zero. we cant get out of our own heads.

the protocols underlying the fediverse are largely… hmmm… more like guidelines than rules.

there are literally hundreds of different platforms/projects sending around activities with lemmy being only one of those interacting places. somtimes lemmy is just a relay for non-lemmy content. it can get very complicated.

and then add to this that server operators can modify their servers reactions to activities however they see fit. most users would use shit ‘out-of-the-box’, some heavily modify their source projects… for example, to ignore ‘delete’ requests to circumvent moderation.

if you think youre ever going to find the ‘correct’ vote count, youre expecting more accuracy from that metadata than it will ever provide from any source.

Cory generally writes to try and inform, they are the same.

then he has completely failed to understand the concepts for people using him an a information proxy

isnt he supposed to help inform? or is he just an echo chamber to the lowest-common-loudmouth?

came for the beans. stayed for the nonsense.
