No no no there's a large difference, it's "round up all the bad people who cause lasting harm, let them die, and then everything will be better!". Like it or not, you can not measure good with the same stick as you can measure evil. Not when the systems we've built in do favour "evil as default (and worse, up to some point, so do the rules of physics).

Are they stupid or evil? Hard to tell these days.

At scale, or in capitalism, there is no difference.

betcha you didn't see that coming, bitch.

I'm feeling patriotic enough to burn US flags and I'm not even from the US!

The app is only available on iOS,

I feel like the kind of people who are on the Apple walled garden, are the kind of people who like ICE to begin with.

accounting for the fact that Europeans sleep for a portion of the day.

....they get to sleep for a portion of the day????

This is unfair!

Has both a piracy and a privacy community, which is nice and probably leads to fun mishaps / mistypings. It's pretty lean to federate to and fro as well, same with the UI.

Just about the only negative I can consider is their position pro AI, but I can live with that, the world is pretty close to the end anyway.

You could always keep it open for internal usage, or offer it as a backup for when Cloudflare oopsies the internet or smth. It's how we did the meeting that should have been an email at where I work, the day Clownstrike hit.

1. No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative. Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.
2. But each site already has their front page. See eg.: lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively if you meant "each software", that's more-or-less what join-lemmy.org is doing.
3. No but yes.
4. I'm not sure that leads to where you think it leads to. That would require authenticating users financially, for one, else it becomes a dark pattern magnet for suckpuppeting.
5. Mostly absolutely yes. I think I've seen it discussed a few times under "fediverse identity" or something like that.

As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it's time to spread out.

db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country's lemmy.

Jitsi.

The communist presidential candidate in my country has a live interview in one hour. Just in time for the metrics work meeting that could have been an email.

This will be fun.

Does this meme sanction me from the US?

AI is much like smoking (hey, it is killing the atmosphere! ). Even if a good writer uses it, the usage itseld can still cause harm for others.

Oh it's for the correct sound distinction. Compare naïve vs naive (eg.: glaive).

I'd take it part of the problem is that publisher is quite a "unglorious" job to say somehow. Like, it's difficult to make it look fancy or interesting enough that you'd take effort, time and resources from other things you could be doing - such as, ya know, writing the story you want to write - to have to do that.

Cute, but we all know the only way these writers are going to get what they want is if they part ways from their current publishers and start a coöperative.

Sure, I agree with that. However, we also need to consider what a “net decrease in productivity” actually means for the population as a whole, and whether it’s something we want to accept as a trade-off for more free time.

Skill issue. You know turns exist, right? Just hire two turns of people who work 3 days a week, and bam! You cover 6 weeks of work. Heck, you are hiring more people so you are creating more employment!

And that's all even before machines and AI completely replace the need for that work, anyway.

Pfff that's coward numbers. I'll do you one better:

We should get a 3-day work week.

Because the working class is apparently too lazy and coward for it.

Crafting a guillotine is not even that hard compared to most of the compromises taken. You don't even need to build it up to code: if it has issues, it still gets the job done just cause extra pain to the burgeois that goes into it.

Similarly all those thousands of people who are parading up in complain to Trump could easily walk into the White House and solve the problem by themselves. Instead, they are content on just "I was here"-ing for a photo.

One thing the last elections convinced me of: at some point, people at large just want to be let be evil.
