Sounds good to me. I’ll have friends and family watch from the outside so I’ll be confident it isn’t some kind of ruse.

I don’t know about hyprocritical, but it is rather selfish. Valuing human lives at zero just because you haven’t met them is quite extreme if you think about it. I don’t see how it is utilitarian either. Saving even 2 people at the cost of 1 is the most utilitarian thing to do.

I don’t like it any more than anyone else. I believe social media has a negative impact on children and likely all people who use it.

Just curious, but what does it mean or imply to be a partnered community in this context?

I don’t have any expectations. I’m not making a judgement. Just an observation.

Kids seem depressingly lethargic these days. They will probably doomscroll tiktok instead of going out with friends.

The situation would have to be rather intentional. Like I’m in a room next to a room with the other people and the fact that my death saves them is an absolute beyond questioning. Ideally I’d also be able to see them.

In that situation probably just 2.

I don’t think this can be extrapolated to any possible real world scenario.

I’d be worried about breaking compatibility across the lemmyverse. The thing that makes the Lemmy a federated system is that they are all instances of the same thing. Also the main contributors are going to be the most knowledgeable on the subject which is why their opinions would be important. They are also the owners of the repository. It’s not a democracy just because it is open source.

It is still an option though if the original project starts doing things that cross some line. The example given doesn’t seem even close to crossing that line. I don’t see how this person thinks this decision by them is unreasonable. Do they believe that their change should be the default behavior of the default UI of Lemmy and that this is the majority opinion on the matter? Seems unlikely to me.

Watch all the videos on this channel and tell me the universe isn’t extremely interesting. 😅

Is this even a good format to archive information? I’d prefer any information worth saving to be written into some kind of formal documentation.

For me I have every news and politics community blocked. I’m not sure how other people use this site, but I thought of all the things I’m interested in seeing and sought out those communities with the communities search and then subscribed to them. Sometimes I’ll check the other filters if I happen to run out of things to read.

Carefully curating a subscription list and sticking to the subscriptions filter has worked well for me.

Do you have an example where using keywords in quotes doesn’t work on Google? I think if the top results don’t contain both keywords then it doesn’t exist in its index.

It seems to be this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Daniel_Shaver

It still pains me to recall that one video of a man in a hotel on the floor in full compliance with everything the officer said, but the officer still shot him anyway for absolutely no cause.

Web pages of today have so much added on nonsense. It’s not necessarily data farming, but also the frameworks used to develop the website themselves. Modern websites are basically entire software running in the browser even when it is used to run a simple seemingly static page. The purpose of these frameworks is to make complex things more simple for developers to make, but then people end up using them in situations that might not call for it. I think there is a general belief that since computers keep getting more powerful that it is fine to keep making software bigger and less efficient.

Wow, taking someones personal property doesn’t even sound legal. That is messed up.

Thanks. I might look into the endless things from 2+ years ago that are on sale now. Probably not though. Too many books to read. 😵‍💫

Being a patient gamer isn’t strictly about money. It’s about not getting caught up in hype and making more calculated decisions. Even so, wanting to pay what you think something is worth is just good practice.

I’ll let you know in 2 years when it is on sale for at least 50% off.
