Opinion: Prediction: General-purpose AI could start getting worse
First of all, you are on feddit.nl and cannot speak for"Lemmy". That said- if anything, "Lemmy" users should be supporting independent journalism like 404 Media.
It's to prevent scraping/harvesting by AI: https://www.404media.co/why-404-media-needs-your-email-address/
They do not ask for a phone number.
It takes some doing, but you can live boot windows from a USB drive for those rare instances you need it. You can also just install it to a VM inside Linux. But honestly these days the times where you'll NEED Windows are few and far between (and getting fewer and farther).
Not liking someone is not a good reason to root against decentralized platforms, IMO. The entire point of decentralization is that nobody gets to control the experience and who is/isn't allowed to participate.
Unless he joins fedia.io you don't really get a say in what he does... kind of the entire point behind decentralization....
It's also an avenue for attacks.

The growth of the network*
There are many platforms in the Fediverse. The fact that the network can survive the collapse of one platform is a strength of decentralization. The Lemmy/mbin/piefed universe can only ever be exactly as big as we, the users, want it to be.
Greetings fellow /u/kirk, nice bike!
I feel like teachers are going to have to set aside time for essay writing in class instead of as homework.
Tinder started as a "hook-up" app, if they went back to that kind of marketing I would not find the company quite so reprehensible.
Today is June 1st, the start of Pride Month. This scene from "Blood Oath" weighs heavily on my mind.
FWIW I agree, but I would say imperfect instead, on account of the many trans people I have heard say they related in some ways.

I just watched this episode recently. If Klingons don't care why should humans?
You are correct and I don't mean to shame but it has been their goal for 7 years now since the redesign in 2018.
Bazzite is a custom image of Kinoite, but I'm not surprised it's taking off, it's great.

While Lemmy is still young we should establish a culture of politely, yet firmly ridiculing the weight of the mothers of users who don't de-clickbait headlines.
We salute you, Loretta.
MASH is a very good show, it's aged (a little too) well and the jokes still land to this day. Highly recommended.

Deep Space Nine season 2 appreciation post
Been watching DS9 Season two and have been very impressed with the quality. I remembered it being "pretty good" but in my memory it was "the season with "The Circle" trilogy, "Melora", "Rivals" and "The Maquis", episodes and story lines that never really did it for me. I think that made me forget how many really good one-off episodes were also here, to name a few:
- "Necessary Evil"
- "Rules of Acquisition"
- "The Alternate"
- "Armageddon Game"
- "Whispers"
- "Paradise"
- "Shadowplay"
All bangers!
Also I love how this season ever so slowly drip-drops dominion references culminating with the season finale "The Jem Hadar"
"The problem I've found is that it's easy enough to create a Reddit clone using Lemmy, but getting people to actually use it is the issue."
Someone should probably jump in and explain what federation means.

A good thread to mention Lemmy in - a Daily Show segment about social media companies, most of the commenters don't seem to realize that nonprofit social media exists!
old.reddit.com Jon Stewart on Social Media: "It's speech incentivized for engagement and profit. It's manipulated. Social media isn't the same as free speech. Social media is free speech in the way that Doritos are food. It's ultra-processed. It's designed in laboratories."

Best/most seamless eReader for Wallabag compatibility?
I have an aging Kindle and am looking for a new eReader to both read books and articles I've saved throughout the day. I use Wallabag to save articles. I like it over Pocket because it's better for paywalls because it fetches content directly from the browser.
I am leaning Kobo because of apps like Wallabako and KoReader (not exactly what that is yet but people seem to like it).
Anyone else have a similar setup or have any advice?

Note that r/coolguides is a very "normie" subreddit and may require extra handholding. There are a lot of people who don't seem to understand what "open source" means. Some looking for "The Lemmy app" etc. Be patient and helpful!
