  • It used to be that way on Reddit before they changed the algorithm to force old posts (older than 12 hours and then 24 hours and so on) to fuck off from the front page. It's also a problem that multiple instances show you the same post repeatedly, so a popular post on the front page stays there for a whole week and you will still see it even if you scroll past it.

    Lemmy devs simply do not address the issues of the platform.

  • Would you use teleporter technology if it existed? Why or Why not?
  • You are changing the question to "is a perfect replica of a person considered the same person or not?". That is not the question.

    What you experience by using a teleporter is you enter a room, and then you die. End of story. There being another replica of you somewhere does not change that you died. For an outsider they may argue whether or not you died, whether or not the replica is you, and so on. But from the perspective of someone who enters the teleportation room, it's over. Dead.

  • This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands
  • Holy shit this comment fucking killed me. It's so funny.

    I understand that a flood in the Netherlands would spell catastrophe but it sounds like the water just can't flood there, because it is the Netherlands, not because of the amazing stuff that they built

  • Linux has less than half of Linux’s desktop share
  • Wikipedia is using this site as the source, and that site shows around 20% market share for Mac. Linux is at 3% and ChromeOS is at 4%, so if you combine them and double that it still isn't at 75% of the market share Mac has.

    This isn't mentioning that dealing with Linux compatibility is more annoying than Mac or Windows compatibility. Macs are very uniform, Windows has a giant making sure everything is compatible, and Linux has 900 distros that will never agree to co-operate.

  • Wise one
  • Meth is a product that was found, and then developed and improved in order to be better at what it does. The expertise demonstrated in the creation of Meth shouldn't be compared to Facebook, which is just the first product to come out of a market. Facebook hasn't developed further as a social media platform, it has developed further as a money making device.

    You could say Alcohol is the Facebook of drugs. Drugs have developed over a very long time unlike social media, so the history is much greater for this case, but the point is that alcohol, despite not being the best in all categories, is the most popular drug simply because it's not as harmful as others (such as meth) and has been around for longer than the new, less risky alternatives (such as weed). I'm not considering coffee as a drug for this metaphor. Alcohol is making the most money not because it is good, but because the rest is mostly illegal, and/or less ingrained in social norms and traditions.

    Point is, I kind of lost myself along the way and started rambling, comparing Facebook to Meth is not fair because Meth is not socially accepted while Facebook is, maybe compare Reddit to Meth, idk

  • Checks out honestly
  • It may also mean that you have the type of paper that you want to print on, but the divider inside of the paper tray is set on a different size -> and then it thinks you have the wrong paper size because the paper doesn't fit the tray size.

    Basically you either want to: put paper in the tray, change the paper in the tray to a different size, or change the position of the tray divider thing.

  • Is SDF going to defederate from Threads?

    Basically the title. I sort of expect us to, but I prefer to know ahead of time.

    Edit: It sort of relates to the email you've sent us a few days ago. I read it and thought that I basically joined a Lemmy instance to avoid the major corpos trying to squeeze our blood out, like the Reddit admins ended up doing. Meta/Facebook have been known for having unhinged greed, and I expect them to try to take over or crash the fediverse in favor of advertisements.
