Yeah, in addition to the other million benefits. Like being much lighter, isn’t a giant spyware, decent scripting engine, covers all features that office has and more (it had PDF export way earlier), … My bachelor degree dissertation was in libreoffice in 2013. Since then, nobody can convince me to go back to Office.
these fucktards who happen to be the actual terrorists really think the world will be amused by the videos they recorded? Bear in mind there is a starvation going on. Aid provided by other countries is blocked by these thugs.
Tell how chatgpt 2.0 isn’t enough to replace these people, save a lot of money since they are overpaid & rid society from scumbags? You don’t need to wait for chatgpt 17 to replace everyone else.
I agree with this. What would make people jump from an evil corporation abusing its users and creators to another evil corporation abusing its users and creators.
It s a good start ngl.
What about taking a different route altogether and not be greedy? what about charging a flat fee (your costs plus some profits to run the infrastructure like yearly or monthly). What about not being evil?
There is a huge business opportunity IMO to do just that. Have a store, charge a flat fee, add whatever percentage wire transfers take (1-3%). You make money, you out-compete everyone and you are the good guy.
I think there are better places to discuss what science says about fasting and how applicable all of that to Ramadan. Neither my comment nor OP question are about that so yeah. Peace.
There s a place where you can name and shame in a permanent searchable record: https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/Main_Page
Be the change you want.
I do agree. Maybe we could normalize having bots that duplicate the good posts from there and discuss them here. But yeah, it’s not so obvious how to measure a “good post”.
Not gonna lie. The analogy of native americans vs palestinians doesnt click for me. There were jews christians muslims living in relative peace before the plan of an israel was shoved down people throats in the region. This wasnt a new big island discovered by accident.
I would agree though that human life is equally important and displacing humans forcefully is always a terrible crime if this is what the analogy implies.
I was having trial fasting (ramadan) days when I was a kid and another kid offered me some almonds, I ate them in a heartbeat and forgot entirely about the fasting. It was really early in the day. So yeah, healthy and delicious food gets me even when I am deeply committed to something.
“Polls show that 99.9% of people like to take polls”
That’s true. Scrapping is a gold mine for the people that don’t know. I worked for a place which crawls the internet and beyond (fetches some internal dumps we pay for). There is no chance a zip bomb would crash the workers as there are strict timeouts and smell tests (even if a does it will crash an ECS task at worst and we will be alerted to fix that within a short time). We were as honest as it gets though, following GDPR, honoring the robots file, no spiders or scanners allowed, only home page to extract some insights.
I am aware of some big name EU non-software companies very interested in keeping an eye on some key things that are only possible with scraping.
I remember the millionaire who wanted to prove that he could rebuild his wealth if he started from scratch again. He cheated a little bit because he used his friend apartment for free.
Fast forward, he gave up after a couple of months and understood what the rest of us knew for ages.
Wealthy people are delusional and no amount of reasoning will work with them.
To me it’s a feature and not a problem to have less people. I had more online human interaction in lemmy than I had anywhere else (except maybe facebook in early times). Look at Reddit now, good luck interacting with real genuine people. Everyone is shilling something and nobody is honest, plus the low quality posts count growing.
I saw some studies a few years ago on how people are less interested in traditional social media and more interested in instant messaging 1to1 and small group chats. Also something about how group chats become dead after they exceed a couple hundred members.
Just to say, I am more happy with the way things are in lemmy. I appreciate all aspects of Lemmy really.
I see. I can use torrent without VPN in my location but I get it.
Blocking VPNs is a nightmare for governments. Some companies rely on them for normal operation. I doubt western countries will take such path due to the economic impact of it. You got also ways to bypass blocks, new obfs protocols popping up everyday, residential proxies, tor, i2p,… So yeah, you need a full time large team working to keep up with some of that for a full implementation. How China didnt give up on that yet is beyond me TBH.
IMO, it s not something we should worry about it now.
mmm cracking how? turning off the internet?
well said. I would add his clients too.
You are not wrong. But there are things you can do to make a point. Make Reddit as a 2nd class citizen and drive people to lemmy, mastodon and the others. Like add posts with no comments, just relay bot, … Make it clear.
Same with GitHub, it’s mirror to my Gitea instance. You can see stuff but you have to move somewhere else to contribute and report issues. Not a terrible thing to use these proprietary services and yet make them 2nd class citizens.
Humans aren’t physically violent enough to survive a much smaller creature (30-50kg), let alone fighting something just as violent but 10 times bigger.
I would really pay to watch that fight.
