Thanks for the insight. Lemmy starts to feel like reddit in the past were some specialist or the author of the paper chimed in on the discussion.

Thanks, very nice of you to send me these links. The thing is for me, I refuse to see my ADHD tendencies (never officially diagnosed, but pretty sure) as any kind of illness or shortcoming at all. It’s just the way I am. Fortunately I have the luck to live a life where it doesn’t affect me negatively, so I don’t see a reason to question it.

The links talk about cocaine having a calming affect instead of a stimulating one. That’s funny, because I’m not even sure if it has an effect at all, I’m to dense to really notice any effect. To each his own.

By the way, i just came home from a nights out and I’m on amphetamine, which definitely has an effect I notice. It cures my anxiety and lets me feel at ease. I’d never write these posts without it. Drugs are strange…

I wish you the best my friend!

Most people don’t care about any of that. Firefox with AdBlock to surfe YouTube without ads? Nah, they want the app, which is basically the same, but at least they can’t block ads. I stopped trying to understand

Also, on xitter are all these assholes I don’t care about. I can’t leave that platform. Pathetic!

People will never understand intricacies like that. On the other hand, the big tech corps do. We are doomed

MDMA doesn’t work for me, nor does cocaine. What does that say about me? I don’t care to be honest… but the pro is, I will never get addicted to either of those, which is nice, I suppose. Anyway, what were we taking about?

The problem is, and I’m pretty sure that’s the reason nothing will change, the problem is that people act like corporations have some kind of obligation to act morally. Then they are angry at apple, Microsoft, Monsanto and co.

Corporations are a fucking tool, that try to maximize profit not more, not less.

What everyone has forgotten is, that there should be people setting the rules and optimizing this tool for the best of the people. Instead we all accepted these neo liberal bullshit, where we allow corporations to influence the law. And, oh wonder, who would have thought, these fucking tools use their money and influence to maximize profit even though everyone but the stakeholder suffers from it.

Renewable energy is an example, how in the world can someone prefer burning coal or oil instead of letting the wind turn a fan? But because big oil companies have a way to big part in creating those laws, we fuck the planet until it’s too late and when it’s too late, everyone will blame the tool for it. Which won’t change a fucking thing.

You should never pay a blackmailer, because that incentives blackmailing. Still, everyone pays, because that causes the least pain

Same with this, they can bluff all they want; in the end, they won’t not sell their devices in Europe, because that would mean lost profit and the least pain is complying.

Go die in a dirty back alley apple, you deserve it

Nice analogy. I used this one in the past: “you can’t fix a full disk by deleting word documents”, but I like yours more

Sounds interesting. Care to elaborate?

non technical people are doing pretty well, because they don’t try to install photoshop or nvidia drivers downloaded from the nvidia drivers page.

The “windows power user” are the hardest demographic, because they expect to know what they are doing but the don’t if they are new to linux.

What did LTT write in the terminal again: “i know that this opperation will delete my gui and i am sure that i want that”, presses enter and wonders why his gui is gone. go figure

That’s the spirit. Reddit and all other social media died for me during the exodus 1 1/2 years ago. Since then i go to lemmy and I’m fine. Tbh I’m not really sure if more user will not also pull commercial interests into the fediverse and if that is something I’m looking forward to, but for now, everything seems like reddit around 2010, not too big but big enough to not being out of content after scrolling for 10 mins.

the more you know what you are doing the less impressed you are by ai. calling people that trust ai idiots is not a good start to a conversation though

There is a big difference. If a platform belongs to a single entity, you can pressure that entity especially if its profit driven. If there are thousands interconnected platforms that only share an open protocol the most you can do is shutdown a single instance. That’s why an open protocol creating decentralized instances is so much different than a centralized platform. It’s like trying to ban email or censor speak: not that has never been tried, but that is a whole different cup of tea.

Dammit, you beat me to it

Why don’t you explain in detail what you mean with “No.”?!

Until then you are just a troll wasting all our time.

Exceptionally well written and interesting blog post. Kudos to FrostKiwi!

So, while the Infinite Monkey Theorem is true, it is also somewhat misleading.

Is it though? The Monkey Theorem should make it understandable how long infinity really is. That the lifetime of the universe is not long enough is nothing unexpected IMHO, infinity is much (infinitely) longer. And that’s what the theorem is about, isn’t it?!

That’s why they invented docker
