Literally what are you talking about??? Why would a company not enforce artificial scarcity, it means they have to produce less and their product is more valuable per item. It costs companies to produce more product, they’re not interested in selling a good product just anything that will keep profit margins high. If anything they’d lay off the actual laborers to keep their executives nice and comfy while “cutting costs” across the board. Why do we subsidize farmers to overproduce and we still have people suffering food insecurity?

I’d like this but I’d hate it if it became like a orphan-crushing machine scenario where it sounds nice that a child sold lemonade over the summer and saved money to pay for kids lunches, but like all kids should have basic nutrition guaranteed at school and options to allow less fortunate students to eat breakfast and/or take home meals. So like genuinely good news about good policy or positive news about anything that isn’t tainted by the typical capitalist bullshit or ulterior motive or quasi-nationalism if you can understand what I’m trying to express.

Wow that doesn’t look like Xqc at all, terrible job

For real! They’re coming for our kids!! Trying to teach them sexual health, and idk about you but nothing with the word “sex” in it is appropriate for my child! Oh the humanity, why can’t we go back to the good ole days when Catholic priests were given free reign to abuse children

I agree with you, companies only care as far as their bottom line goes. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that doing pride displays and showing support, even in superficial support, is a bad thing. And there is no such thing as moral consumption under capitalism, and the only solution is to move towards a more worker centric society and eliminate exploitation from these industries. It starts with how you use your vote and your voice, we should advocate for more people to get involved and active.

This is absolutely gorgeous! Simplistic but also detailed in a nice manner. You have my vote for making this the official logo!

Definitely agree, the people overall over there seemed like fine folks who understood once they saw both mod teams communications on the defederation. There were a few people who took the worst possible interpretation and were trying to run with it, but a lot of the users there were shutting them down and explaining where they might be drawing conclusions. Overall really happy with the interactions on lemmy, lots of nuanced discussion and really just feels more laid back and good faith for a majority of the userbase

Appreciate your input, some of the comments on the shitjustworks thread were kinda wild, people absolutely have been assuming the worst when the mods here have been wholly open and transparent which is absolutely what I look for in a lemmy instance. Make sure your values are in line with the moderators running the instance. Because in the end that’s what will affect your user experience the most and if you don’t like that there’s always the option to run your own instance so you can see all the federated networks you want and none that you don’t. Ideally everyone would be running their own personalized instance where they can see everything and then go to a couple different silo instances where people go to post their content.

Yeah the transparency of the mod team is the number one reason I love this instance so. Completely understood all of their decisions and how they came to them and I don’t think anyone can get mad about it, its a passion project for the fine folk that admin this instance its understandable you would take precautions. I mean if a certain instance is not moderating at all or only has a handful of people moderating that workload gets pushed off onto these guys when those instances interact here. And with them being open and transparent and willing to make changes as development unfolds, it makes me more confident in the whole project.

It’s really fucking sad you guys feel this way and for no good discernible reason other than hate and that you’re a small enough group that it’s easy to bully you with little to no recourse. It’s sad there are many people who can’t get their head out of their ass and look at and hear the actual people affected by this bullshit. Luckily there are many people who are absolutely disgusted by the state of the world and the hate campaign against trans people, hopefully we’re enough to protect you guys. I got a little brother I’m getting gray hairs worrying about with all this shit man, but I try to keep in mind that there are good people out there. Lots of support at rallies and protests I’ve been to

Yeah I don’t know if it’s just the way text can be read, but that commenters comment is very uncalled for. I mean trans people didn’t ask to be made the forefront issue for all these political candidates and “news” stories. They were thrust into the spotlight by republicans and subsequently demonized as is the conservative way, I mean literally they use the same scare tactics as their gay scare culture war bullshit. Implying that people can be turned trans and that it doesn’t really exist but is a fad, just garden-variety bigotry that comes with their culture war bullshit. And your mad at this person pointing it out? Make it make sense

I’d be interested in stuff like this as well, thanks for your recommendations. I was hoping to find a blog or resource for MachineLearning and related topics, so if anyone knows of any please let me know!

Bro it’s Friday, you good homie?

bro your app is super stable as well! I was having a lot of crashes with Mlem, not to discredit their work they’ve got a cool multi profile feature that’s really nice. Appreciate your work!

This game looks interesting but also just kinda looks like a re-skin of Jedi Fallen order lol. Idk I wasn’t super captured by the combat in that game so I might pass on this unless reviews are hella good

I really appreciate all your input, its really helped me connect a few dots that needed connecting so I really do appreciate it my man. I’m aware of the OSI model and I was hoping my work with my homelab would help me understand better, but I’ve still got a ways to go. I really appreciate your explanations on Layer 2 and Layer 3, I understood the definitions but your explanation helps me connect the idea to real world examples. I also understood bridges somewhat but relating it to a switch makes it simple to understand and configure.

Thanks for the links as well, I will be messing around with this config tonight so I will be using your comments as a resource, so really, thank you! Can I ask for permission to PM you if I have any questions related to homelab/networking? You and I seem very similar in our scatterbrain-ness lol, so I figured it might make things easier if that makes sense. I will definitely be doing more reading and research, the first link you provided seems like an absolute blessing of a resource.

I also think the abundance of content is a part of the issue, but with no clear solution. People are bombarded with a thousand stories about a thousand different things going on in their country, the world, their city, etc… But we know that Humans can only reasonably maintain around 150-200 close personal relationships max that you would be able to converse with and empathize with and what not, Dunbars number. I think this is part of the problem why people see everything in black and white imo, there’s an abundance of information out there and our society currently is in a state where everyone has to have an opinion on every conceivable subject but that’s just not feasible. And when there’s so much information to parse through humans tend to group things together as we love our patterns. So if you believe an idea from this group of people, you must believe the 100 other possible interpretations of correlated subjects and what not, or at least that’s how people tend to view others expressing certain viewpoints. I struggle with this and people who espouse hateful ideas and disinformation against Trans people, a lot of people may not know any better or believe that there’s this widespread push to transition people as young as possible which just isn’t the case. It’s something I find hard to extend grace on, it feels morally wrong to prevent people from making informed decisions between themselves and their healthcare specialist and besides that it is such a tiny portion of the population to be focusing on when there are much bigger widespread issues that affect us all. But its also something I feel is fueled a bit by this same issue we are discussing, I’m honestly not sure how you would work against this besides smaller and more tight-knit communities but then you have echo chambers, not that it wasn’t a problem in some subreddits as well. Very interesting thing to think about! Love hearing everyones thoughts!

Hard agree, definitely feels more personable. People are making an effort to understand one another and people are collectively calling out the shitty things. Very nice change of pace

Oh boy, I hope this statement pisses off a lot of people and motivates them to extend the blackout. My only criticism of the blackout was that there was an end date, Reddit only has to wait it out temporarily in that case, but idk this statement is kinda ridiculous. I hope people take it as the spit in the face it is, who tf is getting violent over subreddits going private? no one, extend the blackout!

Persona is very much an anime game, but it does it so well and tells a compelling story and the characters are generally fleshed out well and have their own human problems. Don’t get me started on the gameplay, its fucking fantastic! Reminds me of pokemon but it does things differently enough and the fact there are extra abilites and Bonds help with that as well. I played 4 on PSP as my first delve into the series and that game is still one of my favorites of all time. Highly recommend persona to any that like JRPGs
