We need something that isn’t THE internet, and is only accessible if you have the patience and knowledge to connect to it.
That kinda does exist it's just that you and I lack either the knowledge or patience to connect to it.
It's because the people making these decisions aren't incrntivised to think about the long term effect for the company. All they need to worry about is if it makes line go up in the short-term so they can get a fat bonus then use how much line went up to get a job somewhere else before the shit hits the fan. Rinse and repeat.
I could but I'm not the person who cares enough to want to look into it. I'm telling the person who does that doing so is a good idea.
I think we need to start reframing it as some sort of combined right to freedom to speak and freedom to not listen. Right now the majority of the time I hear someone talking about freedom of speech is when they want the authority to force people to listen to them.
Yeah the sad reality is that the entire situation is a mess and there isn't really a good guy to root for beyond innocent civilians caught up in it. (Though you can certainly argue about who is the worst bad guy... That doesn't make their enemy not also a bad guy.)
I expect you need to look in the Lemmy.World moderation log to see to what degree lemmy.ml users were or were not problematic (I've no idea either way.)
Just double-checked. My current smartphone that I partially picked for it's 3.5mm socket does have built in FM radio that works great and only functions with earphones plugged in.
One reason is that every implementation I've ever tried relies on using the wired earphones as an aerial and Apple magically convinced everyone that having a 3.5mm port is somehow a bad thing.
It's not about more reusable hardware it's about software being constrained to support existing hardware rather than ditch it to save a fee bucks on development.
Two questions: If it's only tritrium why does anyone really care? Why couldn't they just sell it rather than dump it?
I thi k I just realised those questions both have the same answer...
AFAIK whilst some creatives do fully conceptualise the work in their heads then set out to externally reproduce it, the more normal approach is to have a less complete notion and then create something via the process. IE, a musician might have a melody in their head but then they will play it on the instrument and experiment with different variations and accompaniments to see what sounds good and build on it that way, rather than sit and think of an entire piece based on that, then play it out loud.
I did write a lengthy (nice) response to try to better articulate my own subjective experience for comparison so we could continue to try to better understand one another but then I kinda just lost faith in the idea...
Do you possibly speak more than one language to any degree? If you think of the words "yes" and "oui" (yes in French), there must be some difference in what you experience inside your mind despite the meaning being the same. So what is different between the two subjective experiences for you?
Wrong. The real question is why do we presuppose that the output of creatively driven individuals must generate profit for a capitalist economy to have sufficient value that those people be permitted the basic necessities of life? Frankly I suspect most of our most valuable contributors to culture are never given the opportunity to be bad enough long enough to develop into their potential.
This whole "oh no, AI is going to take away our liveihoods" notion fundamentally accepts the false notion that people are only deserving of a functional life so long as the primary activities of that life is ultimately to contribute towards increasing the wealth of a tiny percentage of individuals.
It's the same mistake that leads us to massively undersupport educators and carers and will have people freaking out about how they'll "earn a living" once robots are able to do everything we practically require to be done.
People are fundamentally entitled to a living. If someone is being denied one, then look at the system that causes that not the specifics of that particular flavour of how it's happening.
But, for you to put the words in "in the right order" they must take some sort of descreet experiential form.
It's a troll account. They're intentionally making bootlicking comments everywhere to get a rise from people.
Oxygen is a good recent French one on Netflix. Very claustrophobic.
No. Wordpad is the one being discontinued. Paint is one of several programs that can now be uninstalled from Windows by end users without any special tricks.
Sounds like they have some level of knowledge of history and have remotely thought their views through yes.
Increase in undetected phishing emails since the hack
As in title. Just wanted to report this in case somehow the Lemmy.world devs somehow aren't already well aware of this. I've had a new, not detected by my email provider (so probably fresh) phishing email on the address associated with my Lemmy.world account almost daily since the hack. While there's always a possibility it was grabbed somewhere else, I assume that means the hackers grabbed the user email address's of the Lemmy.world users to flog cheaply to spammers. Not much Lemmy.world can do retrospectively but might be worth looking at ways to avoid that being as easy in the event of another lemmy software security issue (could the addresses be stored encrypted possibly?) and, if possible, confirm that this has actually happened then issue a PSA to users so they are alert to be wary of suspicious emails to the account they registered with.
NSFW content becoming uncensored
I've noticed that on the main feed that sometimes when the post at the top has an image or animated gif, when it's bumped down by a new one that also has an image or animated gif, the first post's image or gif is sometimes displayed instead for a short time.
The issue is that I just had a NSFW animated gif post at the top of the feed (blurred out) that got bumped down by a SFW animated gif post but temporarily that second post had the unblurred NSFW animated gif from the post below it in place of it's own.
