if it’s mandatory to make an instagram account still, there’s literally no point to use it over instagram

It’s joever

you just underestimated these general instances of Lemmy

500~ people come to this forum a month

“I prefer a distribution which is supported by game publishers.” feels like it sets bad expectations considering it’s just “do you want a stable Debian/Ubuntu distro?” and ‘game publishers’ might be a little out of date with their wording/justification

They’re not really backing their claim up though in regards to “related to admins” and “admins are deleting other people’s warnings”.
And as far as I know the torrent has been pulled even.

We’re definitely nowhere near “fuck it” levels, as the article says, we sure can make things a lot more awful if we decide now that we can’t do anything about it anyway.
But maybe we need a stronger example than… Bike lanes… Though I get the point he’s making.

Sometimes I check out /r/technology and /r/worldnews through libdirect proxy, as well as the slightly more occasional tech-support hunt, but I don’t feel the need to interact with it.

Saw a thread of people circlejerking “fuck spez” and giving a bunch of rewards to each other under a thread where /r/space was reannounced, and I was so surprised these people thought they were doing anything

Could be very “useful” for VR hardware I think (for better or for worse)
As the article says, no doubt a snails-pace journey as W11 still needs to expire in 10 years at the very least

Sorry, (now edited) I had stressed it from the sub-title a bit as well

What do you mean doing monotonous tasks for a week so you can get 2 bucks isn’t engaging?!

I think that misses the point of the post as Zizek argues the shaking of order as things are now will lead to more right wing authoritarianism.

nah don’t worry, Manjaro users will tell you they use Manjaro

Who are you and how’d you get into my house?!

If there’s something that interests you or you think will benefit others, post it

Entirely speculation, but I think this might be why some of the dominoes are already falling?
Like maybe all the ads pulled out of Twitter and saw that it didn’t impact the ad companies very much?
If so, it could be the true end to Web 2.0

I’m no expert, but I found this blogpost insightful: BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization

The more I read about BS’s protocol, the more I think this is done on purpose.
Why? Because it allows BS to pay lip service to decentralization, without actually giving away the power in the system.
[…]
Another pretty good sign that BS’s decentralization is actually b.s. is the fact that the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) used by BlueSky are currently “temporarily” not actually decentralized. The protocol uses something imaginatively called “DID Placeholder”. If I were a betting man I would bet that in five years it will keep on using the centralized DID Placeholder, and that that will be a root cause of a lot of shenanigans.
[…]
it decentralizes the cost to the central authority by pushing data load onto volunteers, while planning to keep control by being the biggest kid on the “reach” block.

… Switch Up!

I’m kinda pissy cause the guy never even responded to being made aware of data like this and that
(i feel confident that he saw my comment cause he replied directly at my first one in the thread)

kbin.social hasn’t been exposed to this community yet, but I looked around and figured I’d shoot my shot

19 Things A Real Man Does When He Is In A Real Relationship

I think the headline is provocative in that it may make men worry about not living up to a certain standard, which seems to be what got the comment-section riled up. The wording of the article suggests that men who don’t live up to these standards shouldn’t be worth the reader (presumed woman)'s time

Men […] they have a natural tendency of being the provider in the family

Highly debated statement

A real man is one who has been through different experiences in life and does not let those experiences limit or define him. He has lessons from the past only to humble him rather than dwell on insecurities or in fear of those experiences. He looks at life not wanting to define it, judge it or to put it in a box. But he’s a man, who sees through it all and still finds and appreciates the good in life anyway.

It is generally good for any person to not dwell on insecurities. It is understandable to feel fear due to what you’ve experienced

Real men:

• knows himself, is confident and has a spine

It’s important for everyone to be well-realized people (or at least on about as well-realized a level as their partner), and it’s beneficial to be someone who doesn’t back down immediately when challenged, but everyone has their preferences, and it’s definitely unfair to the non-confident men to say that they’re not good enough to be real men. Wording like this can undermine people’s self-esteem or sense of identity, which is really unnecessary. ‘Let people who see themselves as men be men’ basically

• never gives up on you and gives you his all

This can be very unhealthy, and I’ve seen in real life people who decided they would keep pursuing a relationship with someone who has dropped them who continues to say no. Imo this can quickly lead to being caught

• respect you
• honors his promise
• appreciates you
• not afraid to be vulnerable
• trusts you
• loves you for your personality
• takes initiative
• he’s not going to be your yes-man
• protect you emotionally and physically
• will consider your needs over his

I would hope these are mutual behaviors, setting up these expectations for only men would be weird, and while the article clarifies stuff like “women can of course protect themselves”, it feels like the framing of “here’s what men ought to do for you” leaves out the question of what a thriving relationship itself has to be.

Now you know how linux users feel
