The current audience for Lemmy/Fediverse is a niche group.

A niche group who is here because capital destroyed other platforms we loved.

I don’t think my statement is untrue but I also don’t think it will remain true for much longer for exactly the reasons you put forward.

remember kids, a protest without the threat of escalation is no protest at all.

do you think any of that could happen if it was beholden to capital?

"…and does not depend on venture capital to survive,” wrote Rochko, subtly jabbing at one of Bluesky’s potential weaknesses with that last bit.

it wasn’t a subtle jab, it’s the primary reason everything else has gone to shit. it is the MAIN selling point of the fediverse.

MFW: POV is used incorrectly. SMH my head.

someone smarter than me needs to backronym this

right? end of support has never meant end of useful life in my experience. I went from 98 to vista. don’t inconvenience yourself is my main advice to people looking to switch. Shit I’ll probably be installing win 10 LTSC at some point even though I’m all in on Linux as a daily driver already.

She calls it decoupling of scales, and it’s essentially the same problem I have with simulation theory. These programs might form a model of reality but that reality would be at best human produced descriptions of reality and most likely just a model of how best to guess the next word.

tl;dr: put glue on your pizza to stop the cheese sliding off

I think they mean WE struggle to understand these things have no understanding, probably because they are struggling with it also.

it guesses the next word, that is literally all it does, it’s not trying to build a model of reality to more accurately guess. It has no fidelity and anyone taking it seriously has themselves failed the turing test.

organising violence against the state.

I’ve already said too much.

Came here for this. Cotton took over the world because it’s initially softer than any alternative. once linen or hemp wear in they are better but that can take the whole lifetime of a cotton garment and capitalism demands you buy more sooner.

I’ve recently in the past few years moved to bamboo socks, basically wool socks you can also wear in summer.

I’ve grown in the same direction and think it’s their best work but I can also totally see how people who liked the earlier stuff might fall off hard.

Desire was so good I was expecting at least 1 other good song

Yeah, the adult thing to do is destruction of property that actually contributes to the problem.
