Memmy is good

I’m out of there for good, but I take a look every once in awhile. That place still looks like it’s thriving. It’s unfortunate.

Poverty doesn’t affect everyone the same. To try to discount the fact that poverty increases crime just because you aren’t a criminal is ignoring the complexity of humanity.

To say that this particular crime was caused by poverty also ignores the complexity of humanity.

We can all speculate until we’re blue in the face, but I agree that lessening poverty will lessen crime of most types.

I don’t know a lot about vserver or borg, but where do your volumes live? On the same machine? Different hard drive?

Fragmentation is, in my opinion, kind of the point.

I think we lose sight of the fact that the Fediverse is new, and conveniences and comforts get added by developers after users have a go at it.

Lemmy is very usable right now in its current form, even if fragmentation makes it a little inconvenient here and there. The fact is, for popular communities, there will likely be one big community with kind of satellite communities that are run slightly different or allow more memes, etc.

Once developers find ways to improve cross-posting and multi-instance feed integration, I think fragmentation will mostly be a background, unnoticed, thing.

I think it keeps mods more honest, because they know anyone can jump ship much easier to another established community - even if it’s smaller.

I’m not saying there aren’t downsides, but I do believe the upsides outweigh it, and it will only get better over time.

I’m one of those c/nfl mods and 12+ redditors that has moved on. I know Reddit probably has some life in it still, but the quality of the communities is going to go down. Decentralization serves users best.

Today is the day I finally move to Firefox and away from brave. No chromium based browser is safe, and I just can’t do it anymore. Fuck google and fuck this entire money hungry system. None of this serves the user.

Makes me sick and sad for my kids’ future reality.

Better for whom? If a CEO is saying this, I tend to think he’s talking about what better let’s his app make money.

The “radiofrequency electromagnetic fields” associated with using mobile phones are “possibly cancer-causing”. Like aspartame, this means there is either limited evidence they can cause cancer in humans, sufficient evidence in animals, or strong evidence about the characteristics.

Aspartame hasn’t been found to be in the probable category yet. This designation doesn’t mean much.

Working overnight and eating red meat are in a higher category according to the WHO.

Lemmynade not available on iOS yet. Looking forward to ares.

Music brains is probably the best we have. I wonder if you can export playlist as a text files and use something like tunemusic.com to move it to Spotify and such
