Well, here you have a company that fires their CEO for going too much in the direction of earning money.
Yeah, honestly, that’s music to my ears. Imagine a world where organizations weren’t in the business of pursuing capital at any cost.

yeah, I use my start button all the time to quickly open stuff. Hit start, start typing the program name, hit enter because it shows up immediately as a suggestion. super quick with no need to touch the mouse
Zeke Hausfather, a research scientist at Berkeley Earth, warned more records could be broken this year, due to an increase in emissions and El Nino.
Okay, I know this isn’t the point of the article, but this guy’s name is cool as hell and would fit perfectly as the leader of a band of survivors once the climate change apocalypse actually hits.
Now, that said, I would prefer that it didn’t. Every other form of existential dread I can rationalize away, but this feels inexorable.
Hopefully these things aren’t just replaced but one can hope
if you listen closely you can hear the beans coming our way
I’m OOTL and I think I’ll just sit this out.
I’m fully in the loop and it still just makes me think of omg sO teh r4nd0m!! memes from 2005
like, maybe we’ll revisit ragecomics next lol
because we’re taking the internet back to 2003 and that includes omg teh random posts being funny again *holds up spork*
Here’s a link to the blocky docs with a little more explanation. The above link looks like it goes to the a docker image posted on the user’s profile… I think? ^I need to get more familiar with docker^
I think the best approach might be general subject-specific instances? Like, video.games with a main games community, meme community, then smaller communities for various games - or sports.social, with communities for each sport.
I feel like we’re going to end up with a particular community on a particular instance ending up as the “default” community for that subject, but it’d probably be better (in an ideal world) to have those on separate instances to maintain some degree of decentralization
and now they’re advertising stuff like subscription tiers and server shops, which makes me feel like they’re using a completely different service than I am
well, they hired thousands of devs in the last few years, only to direct their efforts to self-hosting videos, chat features, customizable snoo avatars you can sell NFTs for, etc. (you know, things people wanted)
so I can understand the loss potentially growing in recent years, given what they’ve been spending on
(they said “like 6 months before he bought it”, not “like 6 months ago, before he bought it”)
the biggest thing to me, in terms of server load, is that reddit does not need to host videos/images. It’s a link aggregate.
I’m only a layman in this particular field, but I imagine it’s a lot lighter on resources to direct people to sites streaming video than to host and serve it all yourself.
This is nice! my only suggestion would be the ability to minimize cards for a text feed, if that’s something that’s eventually possible.
I like how smooth wefwef is, but if I could keep everything from auto-expanding (i.e. just scrolling through titles instead) it’d be closer to the old.reddit / RiF experience 🙂
honestly, easier community discovery from both local and foreign instances is a huge need for lemmy in general
It is very smooth! Is this what Apollo looked like?
I was surprised to see all the auto-expanded images, but I guess I was expecting more of the old.reddit / reddit is fun aesthetic. So far, I’ve just been using the lemmy mobile site on firefox ¯_(ツ)_/¯
oh, that’s really neat. thanks for the link!
yeah, agreed, I’d love something like that for the fediverse. Honestly, it feels like accessing various communities from different instances would actually feel more natural with it all being fed through the terminal for some reason.
Sorry, not an answer to your question, but what’s rtv?
It is tech news, but I get you. It’s hard to find a place with news about actual technological innovations, advances, updates etc rather than the machinations of the corporations involved. I completely understand the relevance, but it’s often not the sort of genuinely interesting read you’re looking for.
