It’s not bad though. Zoom is great. Apparently their leadership sucks, but as a product its always done what I needed it to do without issue.

This happened in April…

Taking concern for someone’s well being when it is quite clearly not in a good place has very little to do with the accusations being levied. I hope the right people are at least aware of that and are reaching out to her. I said in my reply the accusations need to be explored.

If you read that full thread it sounds like someone who was let go from a place I worked years ago and just rings of serious mental health concerns. Slicing open your leg so you go to the ER to avoid going to work is not a sign that someone is of sound mind. All accusations need to be taken seriously and explored regardless given their severity, but I also seriously hope she can get help.

Why would this be a bad thing? Doubt it happens at any scale but this seems like a perfectly viable way to cool data centers compared to how energy intensive they are today.

I’m with you. If we keep migrating to something else we’ll never actually settle to create a real community. I’m sticking with Mastadon. It’s grown into something pretty stable and decent at this point.

Lemmy/Kbin really don’t function in a way that make megathreads work though. This won’t work here and we can’t be thinking about trying to adopt Reddit behaviors in a platform that works very differently. Unlike Reddit, there isn’t a singular community around Technology. There are dozens that we can all see built across every instance. I had to scroll just to see I was looking at the Beehaw one.

I believe his main goal is turning Twitter into something of an “everything” site where he’s looking to combine the likes of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Discord, and Venmo/Paypal into a single service. I don’t know if it was his goal when he bought it or if it has any chance in hell of working, but that’s something he at least said (while probably drunk) fairly recently.

Why are you even there still? Mastadon has been a solid alternative for me for a while now.

At least they can sell it to pay for some of the damages. King Alaskan Salmon ain’t cheap.

I’d prefer not to leave Apple with pretty much no competition in mobile OS if Android were to fail, unless we’re just referring to Google the search engine, and not the parent company Alphabet.

It’s largely a problem of government that is exacerbated by the influence of the businesses themselves. It’s the governments job to enact policy change that force business to address these issues and develop more sustainable production process and product offerings, but since the government has essentially been bought out by those same businesses, nothing happens at all.

We can’t decouple business from government without policy changes that would place limitations on such influence, and we cannot enact those policies because of the influence from businesses. I don’t see a solution unless people wise up and elect a lot of people in the same election cycle not beholden to these groups, but I don’t know how that can be accomplished.

The challenge here is the instructions were not very clear. All they said was go to college. They didn’t tell you what to study, and it turns out there aren’t a lot of jobs in medieval literature, gender studies, etc.

This is literally an ad for a website that sells tshirts. Don’t be so easily mislead. My gooodness, people.

This is literally just an advertisement for a website that sells stupid tshirts.

If you look at it by median household income it doesn’t really get any better. From 2009 to 2023 it’s only gone from 50k to 56k. That being said, I understand this whole thing is a bit more complicated because median income in Boston is considerably higher than that of say Albuquerque. The same is true for median home prices, but no matter how you slice it, you’re probably not buying a house unless you make Boston money and live in Albuquerque.

My growing concern for this community surviving is that it develops its own identity. My fear is that it’s becoming a dumping ground for Reddit infighting and not much else. Obviously, it’s early days still, but I don’t quite remember this when migrating over from Digg years ago. I feel like the community mostly just made fun of Digg and went on to post new and engaging content. This feels different, and not in a good way.

This is tremendously helpful thanks for posting!

I wouldn’t say currently because I deleted it after moving to Kbin, but I was using RIF for as long as it existed and was a daily Reddit user for over 12 years. I’ve been happy using Kbin though this past week and have quickly seen subreddits migrating over and a lot more activity just in the past few days.
