Union lock down. Hit 7 million and no instances part of the fediverse are allowed to have more than 40k subscribers or members unless they already had more when the 7m hits. Then only one new instance a month can be added to the fediverse, and all that apply get voted on to be in. Lol
I’m old. Chatrooms old. Went through digg and reddit from their infancy. Problems don’t show until you start climbing over 10,000,000 active users. That’s when eg9s and advertisers and bots and manipulation and overwhelmed mods and all the bullshit starts to chip away at things. 4 to 7 million users is the golden zone. Active and plentiful subs. Little enough bullshit.
It’s gotten a bit busier as far as new posts showing up go (been here since reddit api debacle) but we need like 4,000,000 more users, and then if we just held right there, we’d all be able to live happy little lives. There’s still just not enough people to support smaller, more niche instances.
On a side note: Doubly fuck reddit again. I don’t get on there to use it, but occasionally I’ll hop into an old sub looking for info. Got a notification that /humor deleted my post of a funny poem thing from 15 friggin years ago. One of only 2 posting I ever made that still occasionally got comments on.
You’re a bit of a dumb one, eh?
Study more history. This isn’t the thing with the most dead, the most raped, or the most cruelty, or the longest lasting. It was really fucked up, sure. But the worst thing humanity has ever done?
Hell… Religion might be the worst thing humanity has ever done.
Or hitler killing like 6 million unarmed Jews, or the other slave trades that lasted far longer, or the terrible human experiments Japan did to people during ww2, or when hundreds of black people were blocked from having their syphilis cured for 50 years because scientists just wanted to see what happens, or the tons of times entire cities would be raped and pillaged and taken over with no male child left alive… I mean, there’s been so many atrocious acts done by humanity… To actually vote and say this was the worst one is just tacky.
Acknowledged? It’s always been acknowledged. This was a vote to say it was the single worst thing ever done by humanity… Ever.
This. Not the slave trades that lasted far longer, or any of the wars or rapings or genocides or slaughtering of children or ww2 human experiments or anything else. It was a vote to say that this one thing was the shittiest thing humanity has ever done.
Everyone should have voted no. The African enslavement was really fucked up, but “the worst human attrocity in history, ever”? The world has done some really, really, fucked up things. I don’t really even know why this particular slavery would be picked out from the other slaves over thousands of years except that is was pretty recent and large scale. Why is the world even voting on this shit while on the verge of world war three, while it seems that half the rich elites running the governments are pedophiles?
I got 3 things to say on this:
If the vote was to recognize it as the worst thing humanity has done, I’d vote against. I feel like there are a couple other things that were even worse. Even only considering enslavement, out of all of history, I would have reservations against saying this was the absolute worst of it.
Every country that abstained was just against it, and didn’t have the balls to vote it.
Yeah, the US is an asshole. They’re screwing it all up across the globe and they’re also why Cuba is still fucked. Eat the rich.
It’s been too long, and who exactly are you going to blame or get reparations taken from? Hell; If memory serves it was other black people who were gathering up and selling the black people into the slave trade. What you gonna do? Give $40 a piece to 50,000,000 black people, along with an I’m sorry card?
Sure it’s whatever works out cheapest for them :-\
Up at the firehouse it’s just streaming off the TV’s built in apk. Not worth it enough for me to like hook up a laptop and screen share for just a subtitle offset.
Yeah. I know vlc and a lot of video players have the option. But that’s not gonna be a thing when I’m up at work. Normally I don’t have subs on when I’m at home unless it’s a foreign language.
That’s a great idea. Is there an option to do that on Netflix?
I just can’t have it on for comedies. It ruins the timing of jokes and I can’t keep myself from not subconsciously reading them. Years of watching fan made anime subs back 20+ years ago coerced me into reading subs really damned quickly.
For real. I floated around with Ubuntu like 15 or so years ago. Everything was learning and researching and getting things to work. Plopped Mint on my laptop a few months ago and didn’t hardly have to do a thing to figure it out. But of troubleshooting to get my VPN to run correctly on it.
It depends on their version the fcc is considering “manufactured”. If they mean it in a literal sense, there’s pretty much just starlink. If they mean it can be an American company but put together overseas then there’s plenty, like Netgear and Linksys.
Han-Solo
I mean, you can do a pre-emptive surprise strike against a foreign military and still be the “good guys”. It’s just that we aren’t the good guys when we did this pre-emptive military strike against a foreign military… Or grade school girls… Because our top military brass has been replaced by retards loyal to trump.
Well if 7 out of 1000 specifically have the sry gene they probably won’t get to compete.
