I'm sure revoking the sailor's pay will right the ship.

Gutting education is part of the plan for any authoritarian takeover. Knowledge is power. Why give the people the power? How very unauthoritarian.

As though CAPTACHA's are that effective, and Joe Blow is personally responsible for the rise of AI.

Here's a better idea for a movie: Sarah Connor kicks the teeth in of tech billionaire bros at Open AI, Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA. And Elon too of course, fuck that creep.

When the ruling class finally extracts the last of the wealth from the working class, what are you bringing to the feast? by SkyNTP in c/[email protected]

You expect to own your body? Hah, that's cute.

Just wait for the enshittification of Neuralink.

Music industry’s 1990s hard drives, like all HDDs, are dying by SkyNTP in c/[email protected]

It's funny that with all our technology, paper is still the most durable storage medium (under normal conditions) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Sophistication often creates fragility. The human mind marvels at sophistication naturally; appreciation for resilience usually only comes after that fragile thing has broken. Of course it's too late by then.

All them young whipper snappers will continue to learn these life lessons the hard way, it seems.

Anybody watching the US Presidential debate right now? by SkyNTP in c/[email protected]

Unfortunately, the fate of the world kinda rests on the outcome of this election. From Ukraine and Israel at a minimum, to severe climate change and WW3 at the extreme end. I hate it too, but this is just too big to ignore.

Sounds an awful lot like most trilogies out there.

Former federal judge: Supreme Court ‘dangerously betrayed’ democracy with Trump disqualification decision by SkyNTP in c/[email protected]

The SCOTUS and other institutions will not save democracy.

This bears repeating. The SCOTUS and other institutions will not save democracy.

Institutions are corruptible. SCOTUS has been corrupted. That is where the US is.

Only citizen action can safeguard democracy.

What does Lemmy do better than Reddit? by SkyNTP in c/[email protected]

3rd party app support...

There are many other reasons, but let's be real. A lot of us ditched reddit because they dropped support for third party apps. Having an interface that isn't trying to constantly milk you for all sorts of monetization schemes matters a lot, as it so happens. Enough to say goodbye to a lot of familiar and large communities with otherwise good information.

Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges by SkyNTP in c/[email protected]

Just yesterday here on Lemmy, I mentioned the dangers of violating privacy, and some commenters went on about "what dangers?" Implying there were none...

Is it not enough to gesture broadly?

[Feature Request] Clearly identify what instance I am viewing (lemmy.ml)

This is currently my primary frustration with Connect: complete opaqueness regarding instances.

I understand that one design philosophy might argue that instances shouldn't matter, so why show it at all. But it does matter, especially on All, and in comments. I think at the current and near-term state of development, obscuring instances creates more confusion than it alleviates.

In this example, I have no idea what community this is. Where is "here"? "General" is a super broad category (does a multi-community even make sense for this type of community name?). Is this /c/general for a general purpose instance, or /c/general of an instance dedicated to a very specific topic? Is that instance worth checking out? Who knows?
Is this an instance I'm subscribed to yet?
is this the same /c/general I was in last time with a moderation policy and moderators I didn't like, or a new one?
Is my instance defederated from seal_of_approval and will they receive my message? Who knows?
Are most responders coming from lemmy.world, from sketchy instances loaded with bots or is there good traction from smaller instances? Is there instance brigading going on?
Is this an impersonator of seal_of_approval?
is this a specific community that spams a lot and I should block it?
What moderation rules apply to this instance?

I can't block entire instances myself...

I realize that a lot of these problems have some sort of workaround by drilling down into community details and profiles. Ain't nobody have time for that.

I realize that specific UI solutions could be introduced to tackle each of these problems individually in a user-friendly manner. But we're not there and who knows when we will get there.
