  • At least base your distaste on reality. The term was born on 4chan back when it had a mostly leftist penchant (around the time the OWS movement was going off). It has nothing to do with "right wing", that's just you putting political polarization on everything.

  • the expectation would be a better solution will surface in reference to streaming.. the same way streaming was a solution to cable.

    What would that look like though? The current streaming model was pretty easy to predict ~15 years ago with the advent of online video streaming in general, especially mainstream forms of it such as YouTube. I have a hard time imagining how any other business model for distributing video content would look like, but then again I don't have a very entrepreneurial mind.

  • Being good at chess isn't about being "smart", a lot of top chess players will tell you as much. It is however about things like spatial awareness and pattern recognition, and some studies have demonstrated those traits to be, on average, stronger in male subjects. I'm sure evidence to the contrary exists though.

  • Incredible track. Far and away my favourite band. It's incredible how they always manage to sound fresh. måsstaden under vatten is nearly 2 years old at this point and it still sounds so forward-thinking to me.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • A YoY inflation rate of ~10% is most assuredly not natural in most of the developed world. I fully understand why it happened, but that serves no justification for the negative impact on the lives of the majority of the population.

  • They're not, what the attackers are most likely doing is just repeating some regular operation that they know is very costly to the database. It could be something as simple as just spamming the upvote button, for example. Write a script to do that frequently enough and boom, instance taken down.

  • No, I'm talking about the hypothetical algorithm that fills a page with things you might be interested in. Twitter has it (even though it's not necessarily good), even Reddit these days has some of that, it's a feature in most social media websites and sometimes quite a useful one, and Mastodon just lacks it altogether.
