I just give them a thumbs up.

Engineers are rich, right? So let’s blame the working class in this one particular case. /s

Traceur201 said that.

This is part of the reason I moved to CA. As an engineer I’m always going to have some kind of environmental impact, and I think a direct initiative is necessary for the public to consent.

This comment is known to the state of California to cause birth defects.

Absolutely! I totally get that you’re frustrated. I’ll be sure to sorry off more in the future. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Keep talking to him for a while and see if he apologizes or tells you to fuck off first.

Another smarter human pointed this out and it stuck with me: the guys most hyped about AI are good at nothing and thus can’t see how bad it is at everything. It’s like the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect.

WTF happened in 1971?

I just picked that part with the ublock eyedropper. All landscape videos for me please.

In times of economic crisis, friends and family are even more important. That’ll be your insurance policy without being scammed by insurance companies. People in poor countries have big families because nobody else cares for them.

There never were “alpha wolves” in the wild. When a wolf is shunned from the group, it usually dies. The same applied to humans for most of our history, and might apply again soon.

Never fuck with the people who decide your nursing home.

or Bitcoin (I’m open to mining it in the background, but I don’t like the idea of turning real cash into fake cash).

Christianity is in decline. By the next 25/25/25, it’ll just be the release date of Elder Scrolls 6.

“Can’t tell leftists and liberals apart” should be in the same segment as “likes capitalism”.

The stuff that’s falling apart is stuff that I want to fall apart. Smaller servers aren’t going down, Cloudflare is. Linux isn’t betting its future on AI, Windows is. Google was already enshittifying before LLMs and we needed room for competitors.

The clueless suits are all building coffins for whichever suit replaces them next quarter.

That is delightfully gameable. Just don’t do it all at once. ;-)

I hope we never change the Lemmy upvotes.

• No total karma, each comment stands on its own
• No score requirements to post anywhere

Both of these, especially together, created a chilling effect on open discussion. People would even delete their posts to preserve their karma.

Even when you’re reading someone else’s comments, it’s delightfully difficult to cyberstalk them. “Sort by controversial” or “sort by negative” were great ways to find the least popular thing anyone said and smugly quote it years later.

Sure, there’s third-party sites where you can see all that and more, but I’m not tempted to use them, and they reveal their users as losers.

Edit: to the downvoters, jk I don’t care
