As decentralized money, it’s great

It’s not money. It’s not accepted as money anywhere that matters.

It’s a market speculation vehicle built on the fucking aether, that you can currently sell easily enough in small quanties in order to get some actual currency that retailers will accept.

But it sure as fuck ain’t money. It’s just a bunch or techno-utopians huffing farts.

Their own server, or their own router? They’re different.

They seem to know something about marketing, and specifically about how to sell a website to the public, which would put them ad odds with everyone else running AP-based websites.

Kessler syndrome is specifically about LEO, and the damage done by debris from collissions, though. Like, that was Kessler’s whole thing.

Everyone and their dog wants to gunk up LEO with their soon-to-end-space-flight-forever space junk

I mean, none of these people ever question Tesla’s valuation in the first place. Why is the stock losing all of this value?

Maybe it’s because Tesla sells a tiny number of units, cannot turn a profit without government subsidies, and produces by most accounts a really meh fleet of vehicles. There was no sane reason for it to be valued equally to the rest of the auto industry combined.

Even at half that value today, the number is beyond unjustifiable.

They’ve been hiding behind that excuse for a decade now. How far do they get to take it? How far do they get to go before we’re “allowed” to tell them to eat shit?

I like Waterfox. I started using it for the JXL support. But it’s significantly more memory-leaky than the current version of Firefox, and small FOSS teams seem to think the standard amount of RAM sold in laptops today is comically low and believe we’re all hauling 64+ GB or something.

Never have, never will.

So, here’s the funny thing about “never will”. It’s not a promise you can go back on. “Never will” means “forever won’t”.

Changing that language is a breech of trust. Getting all “nuanced” and weasel-wordy about it doesn’t change that.

Folks should start looking into whether the previous promise is legally binding in any way, and start preparing for a class action suit if it is. Because Mozilla’s better dead than it is as zombie smoke screen for this horse shit.

I don’t know where gamers’ hard-on for Valve comes from. They’re a monopolist software developer whose biggest product is a middle-man DRM platform masquerading as a game library utility. Their whole schtick is increasing the cost of your games, and limiting your right to access those games how, when, and where you want. Yet somehow, they’re the darling of the gaming scene.

It’s fucking bizarre.

I can’t wait until someone shuts this prick up.

Hah!

Companies tried to make this a thing 20 years ago, and people just dropped the middle-men like hot potatoes. Bitly thinks it’ll be different this time because people have become used to using their service, but all of the pressures that had people using link shorteners in the first place have already fallen by the wayside.

This probably isn’t going to end well for them.

They gots them at the bulk barn here. And a tub of the candies.

I bought a fistfull to use as D&D monster tokens last week

It’s not about compiling, it’s about testing and support. Each officially supported version needs to be tested - which means having yet another set of test systems sitting around - and supported by the support team. And not only is Linux a splintered market in its own right, making testing and support a significant operation, but there isn’t the same kind of single-point OS support that you get from Microsoft and Apple.

Sorry, the best we can do is always showing you subtitles by default, and not letting you permanently change that.

Business people will do almost anything to eliminate wages

Numbers may rebound, but users having kicked the tires on other options means they’re less tightly bound than they were before. It’s up to us to create a welcoming and interesting environment in the spaces that they’ve looked at to get them to shift their usage.

Win a trade war, then wait for his mind to drift to fanboying for dictators for life, just like last time.

What we really need is for people to put up topic focused sites and promote them as their own thing, not jusy “lemmy”. So many specific interests still have very active forums dedicated to them, populated by the kind of people who want to ask queations aboht and discuss the things they have interest or expertise in, but who aren’t into things like Reddit.

The fediverse is perfect for places like that. Places where you can focus on your primary interest, but also look over the fence. But all anyone wants to do is put up general interest sites and whine about there being more than one “gaming” forum.
