Maybe it’s just a sign too that Lemmy is doing well. Dissent and trolling comes with that I guess.

Yeesh. I’m willing to listen lol.

I think there’s a lot of “white people” in America or the EU that don’t feel mainstream media should be consumed in whole or taken at face value. I’d say the same for anywhere is true.

I just wish I could see first hand what is happening in China sometimes and make my own bias. I know that if I see something on the news in the US I can usually guess if it’s exaggerated or not. For example racist cops right

The amount of mental gymnastics to pretend that federated and central content models are somehow different content is insane.

The people that used reddit and twitter before lemmy and mastodon is like 1:1.

The change is in the freedom not in the users. There’s less content even on our platforms. We need to find ways to make Lemmy and mastodon a better product experience than closed source central software to continue to see new faces. Right now Lemmy esp feels like it’s mostly just nerds who understand the tech.

Some ideas I have are more like news bots and things that are harder to do with closed APIs.

More people should start charging for their work and actually staffing security. I like zorin just for the fact that I have expectations for items I pay for where things that are free I can’t really hold accountable.

I know that’s antiFOSS but I’m somewhere in the middle lately. I want to pay for quality but still be able to tinker with it.

If you have a Chromebook and that’s what you need sounds like the ticket! Glad you enjoy it.

When I was in highschool I could only afford a Chromebook and I chrooted mine, which meant putting Linux on it. I believe that’s changed in years past though.

It’s better that you guys discuss it in the comments and the click bait effectively makes me click the comments so it all worked out; thanks all.

I feel as though clearing debt for the select few without actually solving the problem is a weak bid anyways. IMO that’s buying votes.

But Bidens been what he needed to be: neutral and boring, with some attempts to break monopolies on the sidelines.

Trump is insane. The mans selling crypto Pokemon cards of himself in jail. The two braincell populace will have him voted in.

Someone I’m close with ran their EV company on diesel fuel this year. Tesla uses grid power. I’d say even the most ambitious projects have been a scam in green energy.

Hell in the US you can buy and sell solar energy credits from companies that actually have solar usage, which then allows you to make claims about how green your company is.

I’m glad you think so. I remember Richard stallman banging on a bongo singing that charging for software is greed.

I just want people to have enough incentives for their time that things are safe and the workers paid properly. I wish more open source devs got paid.

Yeah I can see an element of that being true. I wouldn’t mind just enjoying it for what it’s worth.

I think though that the mainstream being able to speak what they think without a reddit bot saying “pictures are not allowed on /pics because it’s not a hyperlink and 84 characters long is not allowed” has value.

In other words just unrestricted free speech for the more reasonable part (no threats). But on the other end once it’s picked up by mainstream it probably is ruined by pumping of ads somehow.
