The person is writing from a business prospective. If people are replacing their phones less often, it means that fewer phones are being purchased each year. If your company makes phones, that means adjusting to a shrinking market no matter what your company does.

One group of friends went to signal. One group of friends stays in SMS.

I don't really have the ability to dictate the messaging service app to others.

There are tons of technology historically that were implemented with gigantic fundamental flaws which were properly identified and later solved or mitigated. These flaws were openly published and there was a discourse in society about them.

So, unless you can use that knowledge to immediately brick all use of that technology, that flaw is likely less severe than you think.

Yeah. Lemmy's former growth came from external events which brought users to Lemmy. Without more of these shocks, I don't see Lemmy growing.

The concept of work was a lot back different in the Middle Ages compared to now. There were a lot more breaks when completing work and the boss often fed you as it was generally part of your pay.

You could make a great argument that agricultural work was likely easier than industrial work. It just happened to be that the number of agricultural workers cratered during the Industrial Revolution.

Even now, there's differences in intelligence between races.

They got rid of that in 5.5e. They also made the orcs Mexican for some reason

It needed better writing and directing, but the actors were very qualified for their roles.

I'm deleting Homeworld 2 from existence.

You're paying for the last mile, they probably aren't. VPN's can probably get away with servers near major Internet nodes.

The problem is that both creators and consumers see value in algorithmic suggestions. For RSS feeds, users have to find the feed to download the podcasts. In contrast, a walled garden provides most users with an ability to discover new podcasts which gives creators more exposure.

Yeah, I'm seriously considering Linux for my next laptop and I haven't upgraded to 11 for my current one.

I've had to use 11 for work and I have yet to see any functionality to make it worth it. If anything, 11 feels like a downgrade.

I know I'm mature. I know I'm put into positions of responsibility. I still feel like a teenager.

Next they are going to find out they are learning other Arabic topics like al-Gebra.

There are a lot of large PAC's that effectively do this, pulling together a sizeable voting block and donation base. AARP, an organization for retired people, is one of the larger ones. It just happens that it is hard to a large group of people to agree on policy.

PeerTube has ads?

Define the metrics for hiring based on merit.

Federation doesn't generate revenue.

The issue is that video creation is a lot more labor intensive and YouTube does two things for creators that PeerTube doesn't. First, the algorithm builds an audience. Cutting out YouTube or another video social media site is going to make audience creation a lot harder. Second, ad revenue from social media sites are greater than zero. It may not be a lot of money, but it is something.

On the flip side, there is nothing inherent to PeerTube or similar platforms which will filter AI slop.

What's the alternative?

I said relative, not absolute.
