It absolutely is. It's not the place to learn the basics obviously, but members need to learn what is expected of them, just like on any other team/organization.

Linus's outbursts absolutely hinder growth. He's lucky that his project has become so important and people will work on it regardless, but he and the Linux kernel would have been better off if he was wasn't driving people away as much as he was.

I see this as proof that we don't really live in a democracy. Most people are anti-genocide but a politician asking for a ceasefire is a fringe position. Most people want a higher minimum wage, but it's considered a fringe position in Washington. Most people want universal healthcare, but it's considered a fringe position.

Biden clearly doesn't give a shit about winning the next election.

Never heard this sentence before

Ratings in general are heavily biased. For example, critics have a very different point of view from most viewers. And even the typical non-critic who goes on sites to rate movies isn't the average viewer either. People like that tend to over-analyze every detail and try to look for a deeper meaning in the works. But that doesn't correlate with your enjoyment of something.

I think it's humorous how many people are getting offended at such a silly post

It's frustrating since by using your tethered connection you're using the same data that you already pay for. If there's a limit on how much data, why does it matter how you use for it?

Right but it would be an even better alternative if you had the choice who to block.

Btw blocking instances at the user level is a feature that will be coming to lemmy soon.

At least they're personalized now

All that means is that they're tracking everything about you to figure out what ads would work on you. They share your data between companies to build a profile on you.

I used to think the same as you but after enough time I just got completely fed up with everyone constantly trying to sell me things. Basically every interaction online is someone trying to take money from me. Not only that but they go out of their way to make things shittier because you're more likely to part with your money. Like how article websites wait just long enough before you start reading before covering the screen with an ad and breaking your concentration. You can't just scroll past those and mind your business.

I use both and I can tell you that is rare. Mac gaming is trash.

Maybe if you keep saying it, it will come true ✨

I would call this cheating. It's anti-competitive behavior to prevent another company from building a product similar to yours. The irony is they never would have done it if he hadn't destroyed twitter lol
