The jokes used to annoy me when I was younger, but now I appreciate the ice breaker they provide and just do a fake laugh and move on
It used to be something good back in ancient Greece, before we had the need to make a supershow out of fucking everything and each time trying to one up the last in pyrotechnics and gimmicks
I am biased saying this, but I really don't think Lemmy is bad behind the scenes. On the contrary, I think it's revolutionary from a technological perspective, not only because of the Fediverse but because of the way it's implemented and all the great new technologies used.
Keep in mind that this is a FOSS project, and there is obviously no budget to be hiring moderation teams for CSAM like software giants do.
CSAM was an obvious problem from the start, but when it comes down to it, it's a moderator job and not a job for the actual software to do.
Thankfully there are new tools now to help moderators deal with CSAM that are possibly going to be incorporated to Lemmy afaik.
TLDR: Don't blame the software for people being shit
We don't in my country, and I'm 100% sure people would complain if there was one. Even if they attended it, it would go completely over their heads probably.
A shitty capitalist society with deeply rooted individualism can't be treated unless it's done from the root of the problem.
This belongs in a capitalist propaganda bingo card
I recently started very casually learning Chinese, this absolutely blew my mind along with the fact that verbs don't have a billion different forms depending on time and the object of the sentence like all the other languages I know.
I don't agree with people here not caring about this. Why should anyone earn below the poverty line?
If producing value is what gives you the right to live, then why do managers and manager's managers get so highly paid? Does that also mean that artists shouldn't get to live either unless they're doing graphic art for a company?
I wish it didn't but historically and logically speaking, there's no other way. The unethical stone cold people rise to the top, and the few who are powerful yet maintain their morals are not nearly powerful enough to fight the rest. Critical change has always come about with revolutions, either violent or technological. And I don't think technology can improve anything for us at this point, if anything it will make things harder.
Fuck ther shit up until they gain a conscience
ELI5 how this works?
I know there are well meaning marketing people out there, but marketing departments, managers, investors, HR crap, and the rest of the corporate parade are exactly what most open source devs want to avoid by working in OSS projects
