A big issue that I don’t see being discussed a lot is that randomized polling has become more difficult as less people are willing to pick up their phone for unknown numbers nowadays.

Most polling is now opt-in, meaning that the data will be biased towards the groups who want to express their opinions the most (this tends to be the far right). Not saying the polling is wrong but perhaps not entirely accurate

lol. lmao.

Once I started taking medication and doing work that I enjoy, I haven’t been bored a single day.

However, being overwhelmed is an agonizing constant in my life

yeah i’m gonna agree and it’s also the fact that scott is supposed to be attractive and charming (not to make a dig at michael cera), which is why is can get away with being a loser

that’s good, i can’t really remember the movie tbh. i just see a lot of people who misrepresent the story are usually talking about the movie

the film doesn’t explore it as well as the comics did, but the story is about scott being a shitty, under-developed 23 year old. he is confronted with his past and forced to reckon with how terribly he has treated the women in his life. scott is supposed to help ramona defeat her evil ex-boyfriends but is faced with that prospect that he could become one if he doesn’t become a better person. i’d really recommend reading it as the film gives the wrong impression of the story

Me when I write the command to burn down my entire computer and it does exactly what I asked it to

Normalize software letting you fuck around and find out

Fair point

Actually I think it is quite a stretch to call them feminists in any way. 99% of the time they ally with the far right and many of their leaders advocate against things like contraception and healthcare for women

I’m not entirely sure and I could be wrong, but I think it was for security/efficiency and was not a popular idea. From what I can gather: in Lemmy all upvotes and downvotes are tied directly to the post so it shouldn’t be an issue here

Iirc it’s due to the way federation works. You can see the real number of boosts but the favourites only show the amount from people who are on the same server as you. It’s not reflective of the real number

I had a feeling they might. It’s likely the only way to make it possible but it is not without faults either.

Thanks for the info, I’ll look into it more!

I need to know how they are handling the server costs involved… even if you host your own instance for just your own uploads, you are still going to be paying a lot whenever people are watching those videos, no?

Video is a way different ballgame than regular social media imo
