I don’t agree with this network access take. A lot of endangered cultures are simply being assimilated.

I was in a casual quiz in Hong Kong recently and one of the questions required us to know a language with less than 100 speakers. The default answer the quizzers had expected was Macanese Patuá. That sort of regional dialect existed in such a restricted set of conditions and between two different pressures to remove it (between Cantonese and Portuguese), that globalization simply drowned it out.

Hmmmm…

Nothing wrong here.

Literally any doomer mentality is generally considered unpopular the more you elaborate on it. Even if it starts popular.

For example: I would like to explain why I think we need less people. That sounds agreeable. We need less people urgently tho. It’s the fundamental, foundational reason behind a large part of the world’s problems. That is still… somewhat… agreeable, But… But. But but… solving it? And there we go, because see, there’s only three methods to actually achieve it, and every single one of them will get people mad about this thing called “human rights” if we deem any of method worth trying.

So yeah, we’re doomed. Humanity is going to land on a critical point of failure in 300 years.

Which would be correct as Voyager is a Web App

It’s still strange because content format is vastly different between discord and reddit. I can have access to many discords for certain topics I like, but discord is just not good for them.

I basically blocked every single crypto community. But around the time of the GameStop bullshit, a LOT more of them started cropping up. I thought I was safe, then two days later another one pops up. And it was always the same non-discussion bullshit.

Worse than a scam, crypto is a cult.

There’s a slight gotcha here:

I’m in Asia and a lot of traditional chinese medicine you can buy is just regular medicine with a marketing disguise hiding the fact. Why yes, this is a box of whatever the fuck extract, very interesting, old northern recipe to cure the shit, let me just check what’s written on this paper, and, yep, there it is, it’s just Loperamide but with an additive to make it taste like Ginseng. Got it.

The longer the vehicle, the less sense this question makes.

Lemmy getting “one guy”-d is such a story, and I do believe it. Petty assholes doing shit has hapenned a couple times, hell, just this week, Valve had to basically nuke half their Dota 2 Arcade because one guy started filing GDPR complaints after he *checks notes* didn’t get a stupid discord icon. It’s always like this. The “one guy” always has the dumbest, pathetic motivation.

You don’t have to finish a degree before you’re 25 to make use of it. Hell, plenty of people have two or even three degrees.

She does YouTube now, and she’ll have huge financial security to finish the degree later. Hell, she’ll have a degree that’s probably up-to-date with her field at the time she’ll actually use it, as opposed to getting one now and having to explain that her lack of work experience after getting it was due to “youtube”.

Which one do you abide by? Maybe the mozilla one or perhaps caniuse?

Seriously, 10 years ago, the best way to find any info on a video game was to go on gamefaqs, ign guides, the steam community or a dedicated wiki.

Nowadays, it objectively still is the exact same, but google will give results for NONE OF THEM unless if you specify. There’s a truckload of those SEO garbage.

Like, they’re giving users monopoly money, and try to pass it off as control. Like, the fuck are they gonna do with the monopoly money?

Plus imagine if users actually believe the monopoly money is important. We’re back on the days of BB Forums where you can make a factual point but oops, you’re level 2 and the forum regular (4506 posts) just called you a cocksucker.

Edit: Oh god, the moderator wallet thing. They’re letting moderators moderate themselves. This is going to set off a massive amount of infighting as some admins will take the whole wallet and the other moderators will call them out and the seriousness of the whole thing (moderation teams not getting along) will get drowned out with all the people shitposting about fighting for monopoly money.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.

The fact the ad industry doesn’t have people veto the platforms they advertise on is a negative aspect of modern society. I see no issue with this going down. I’m far more lenient to capitalism when they produce sponsorships and financially aid events.

Always has been

There is a difference already tho.

Early reddit didn’t have a gigantic metric fuckload of meme and shitpost users. We do now.

Reddit with their “subscriber” counts

Who cares your community has 100000 subs. 90000 of them are duplicates or gone.

This is just another reminder that reddit didn’t start its life with comments. Reddit was just the links at first, comments came later, and yes, the first comment was complaining about there being comments and how the site would be ruined.

Hell, I would even dare say, the best way to do it is to have the API be free up to a certain usage, at which point it becomes paid. Then the price scales down as you get even more and more usage.

This allows newcomers to the app space to get their footing, and punishes people trying to automate vote bots while rewarding established devs.
