They can’t take your money but they can bury you into the ground and use you as an example so that no one ever tries to do the same thing. Ever heard of Aaron Schwartz?

Absolutely agree! Why can’t we have a show where a strong army wipes out a minority from the Earth with the rest of the world cheering?
What? That exists and is called “Fox News”??
Assuming people upload their code to fix it, that means it’s non working code. Great training material!
I’m joking but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t think that through…
Am I the only one who wonder about a Hamas “genocidal” strategy? That they wish they could kill all Israelis, no doubt, but “genocidal strategy”?
Are we supposed to believe they thought they would get all Israelis on Oct 7th or something??

That’s also my understanding: “Javascript is great because you can use other languages and then transpile them to JS.”

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•conduwuit, “featureful fork of conduit” (Rust Matrix homeserver), is discontinuedEnglish
1 yearReally? Do you realize how many people we’re talking about? This is where the idea that the human brain can’t comprehend interactions with too many people.
“Multiple indepondant people” might be 5% of the people, some of them under the mob’s effect (wouldn’t engage alone).
Maybe we miss another point of view, but maybe we don’t. This may be a screaming example of what you get as a representative of minorities getting a bit of attention.

Alternative answer: "We understand your issue and will fix it as time and priorities allow. Please note that customers paying for support always get higher priority. Given MS contributions to the project, this ticket was ranked 42nd in our priority list.
Have a pleasant day! FFMPEG support team"

Ah, too late! I deleted it right after writing my comment. I missed that opportunity.
Part of me hopes the raw number of users will drop at least a bit, that would be terrible for the valuation of the company…
But the other part of me has already moved on. Lemmy is fine, I don’t really need to look back.

Well, we’re talking about 2 different things here:
1.Does the victim in an abusive reationship ackowledge it is abusive. You’d be surprised how many victims don’t. And that does not make them a tiny bit “less” victims.
2.Once the victim acknowledges the abusive situation, how much support is offered to help the victim, and yes, very often, the answer is close to peanuts, and that’s quite a shame. But that’s a whole different issue.

Spez’s comment on moderators showed the world he’s not a tiny bit better than Marck “They trust me, dumbfucks!” Zuckerberg.
Yet so many people willingfully trust him with their most personal sensitive information until it’s too late.

Even with that, you still don’t see FB users running away from the private data collection and resell platform.
It will be very hard for some moderators to leave because they put so much work in reddit, and leaving would force them to admit they were used by someone who despised them the whole time, and there is no hope he would ever change.
It’s similar to women who can’t leave their violent companion: they want to believe in something that does not exist, and will stretch their perception of reality to avoid admitting they’re wrong.
I do not despise the moderators who won’t leave. I pity them.
With all that said, this remind me I wanted to permanently delete my reddit’s account. I won’t contribute to a BS “users” numbers…

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life?English
3 yearsIt IS literally a Linux distribution, based on Debian with a layer on top of it for easy admin and managing applications. So you don’t install it on Linux, you just install it.

3 yearsSo, if you don’t know yet what you’re doing, I wouldn’t host anything critical yet, but I’m using:
And so far, very few troubles. It’s a layer on top of Debian to ease self-hosting. Comes by default with email and XMPP server. You can add Nextcloud and many other services as you wish.
