TikTok does not show you “everyone”. It teaches us an algorithm can addict you to a carefully selected set of short 6 second clips. People watch their little bubble thinking they saw everyone without even realizing 👁🗨

Can cows eat straw? Or can they only eat Hay & enjoy that more?

But why is it a camel in the saying 🐫? Why not a horse, cow, ox…

People need to think about the crazy potential of geothermal energy in general. Thanks for bringing that up 🌋 . But the problem here: How do we get the Pizza down there 🍕. Folding the Pizza through a Borehole 🗼? How stable is the temperature at 100°C spots?

No other gaming company seems to do as much for open source as Valve. Microsoft finances its closed source XBox platform, Sony does the same with Playstation. Epic? Nope.

this is why you should always use localhost 😉

Hate that aspect of social networks as well. Someone has to moderate manually in the end, once a community is not finely curated. Since that is not pleasant experience.

Thats why I Love the idea that users have to show some merit before allowed to join a community. But that kind of system does not scale well. And social networks usefulness is all about scale. There are contradicting forces at play here.

For Videos I can get it, since that costs much storage and bandwidth for the host 🎞️. But for raw text/html? No.

Can someone tell me what happens if my Lemmy instance host shuts down 💀? Will my posts be deleted?

With the mass adaption of discord these kind of “nice search engine finds 🔍” will become rare again.

And I heard that reddit also has a special search engine deal with google while blocking others?

If a game has a mode that works in singleplayer without ethernet connection is it covered by this initiative? Since that would not require further support by the developer?

“You can not buy intelligence”

But the product of appearing intelligent is sold: private Education. Also you need to be able to afford the right condition: Not starving to death to appear intelligent, afford food & afford some water without lead contamination (since lead in the water lowers IQ), lead pipes where used for drinking water in poorer areas … Also research and innovation costs lot of upfront capital investment and connections nowadays.

By ceramic dust you mean it is not poisonous? Or are some rare earth materials / heavy metals in there that poison drinking water?

Since Lemmy is an open source platform it is incredibly easy to build automated bots to spam it. I suggest looking for quality user Profiles to follow, and see what communities they posted on to find high quality communities.

Emperor “Hong”. I could not imagine a better name for someone making this argument.

Old shredded hard drives are also produced by data centers? But I guess these locals want to see some profit from their neighboring data center.

yep sometimes the simple things, like building a house in minecraft, are the cool ones :) I am the kind of player to build the dirt house, or just build a underground base in some cave I started digging for iron/coal.

Should automation with Robots and Mashines not beat slave labor in the long term since the industrial revolution started? … Or the scary part is combining slavery with automation for an even cheaper system than just automation in a free society?

Also:

• Our product might be wrong sometimes, in those critical moments when the system encounters a new unseen problem not in its training dataset.
• Our system might output a lot of junk data by design or accident robbing your clients time

But does this not centalize power to the team who develop the Wahl-OMat? They could scew the results in multiple ways:

• Imagine they put in a bias to automatically substract some “overlapping percentage” points of your favorite party
• Overvaluing certain question topics while ignoring other topics. Topics enter and leave public discourse over time, Wahl-OMat needs to adjust accordingly.

There should be multiple Wahl-OMat services to choose from imo…
