How can you be against porn? It’s neither good or bad, it exists and I basically don’t watch it, but I recognize that others do, why is that a problem that needs solving? To be clear, I’m reading your response as against porn in all forms and for all audiences based on your wording, is that what you mean?

Honestly malls are thriving where I live, and I go regularly to extremely large crowds. I know it’s a trend worldwide, but if all I knew was my local city, I would have no idea.

You got voted down, but this is absolutely real. I speak multiple languages, but none with the nuance and clarity of context as I do English. I communicate with folks all across the world that are all English speakers, however, the variance in comprehension is so drastic that at times we’re really not using the same language, even if we’re using some of the same words.

If you emigrate to a country, it’s a reasonable expectation that you’ll learn the language. The United States doesn’t technically have an official language, English is just de facto, but from a practical standpoint it’s absolutely occupying that role, and will in perpetuity.

I can absolutely agree with the premise that being frustrated with language barriers isn’t racism, it’s an actual real and realized impediment to understanding.

Same, both Digg leading to Reddit, and Reddit to Lemmy

I’ve seen them set up in servers a RAID 1 booting ESXi

You don’t

Not everyone sees that

I love the world of Numenara

I honestly believed this was going to be where things went as well, the fact that it didn’t and they chose an honestly bizarre way to handle it really took the joy out of the present day stuff.

I am kinda glad, and it reminds me of early Digg. When I first used Digg, it didn’t tailor the order or content of anything to you, it didn’t use an algorithm to keep throwing content at you, changing the order of what you see, and Lemmy reminds me of this.

I’m not here up be addicted or scroll endlessly, if anything, Lemmy feels healthier, like I can walk away and do something else.

Same here, love Connect, feels close enough to RIF to be a good replacement for the experience.

I’m here for it even though I’m Connect for Lemmy gang.

No? It doesn’t feel like Reddit / Lemmy though either. I don’t have an account, but it feels really dead compared to Lemmy. I considered switching to Tildes, but the communities are too wide, like there isn’t a Futurama community, just a TV one, there isn’t a Retro games community, just a games one.

It makes sense when you have a small userbase, but I care about niche communities and Lemmy offers that, and some are even slightly alive here.

He’s only making a Tildes app 😞

No, I don’t see any possible solution to continuity of consciousness. See Walk like a Dinosaur to understand the implications, but basically you would need to destroy the original and duplicate it from scratch.

If there is such a thing as a soul, it would likely be impossible to duplicate, but even if not, you would have to destroy the original.

This is a big reason I’m anti capitalist as well, it has no mechanism outside of regulation for controlling the usage of resources, and so long as something is profitable it will be pursued.

This natural result is the regulation reduces profit and it is an adversarial relationship. Because Capitalism is incapable of this, and runaway consumption is driving climate change and many ecological problems, Capitalism must either be tamed and tightly controlled, or most likely replaced with a resource aware system, such as a central planning system that considers resource consumption and weighs it against ecological considerations.

To fix things, a drastic shift is necessary, and actually is so far overdue that it’s likely too late to do anything other than a near paradigm shift.
