I think it's a great way to trick liberals into reading a bit of dependency theory.
Interesting, I haven't seen the "pure AP" thing, will check it out. Yeah I'm not attached to any particular model of it, since there are pros and cons of each, and they have the same basic structure (communities on lemmy appear as users reposting whatever mentions them, you could represent imageboard communities the same way, etc etc). Hopefully people evolve beyond just imitating popular social media products.
Deficits actually matter when Wall Street wants austerity
90% of piracy is technically savvy workers taking back something they produced for a tiny fraction of what it was worth, often something which was abandoned, or people stealing movies. Yes, there are teenagers who will pirate indie games. Most of them didn't have the money for them anyways.
If piracy wasn't possible I would probably be against computers entirely
Upvoted out of spite. Please don't ever say I want the approval of Lemmy users again. That's just beyond the pale, man. I can't think of anything more offensive than being called "spiritually Israeli". 90% of the things people downvote on here are perfectly fine and it's a puzzle to me to figure out what pissed people off. I think maybe they have really unhappy lives.
I just feel strongly that it is polite to volunteer the unwritten rules of social engagement to other people. I'm not some kind of internet law fetishist like these people. Your insult will never be forgiven...
Actually it's a pretty deeplt embedded human quality to tell other people to act right, read the room, familiarize themselves with context, otherwise they're gonna do it to thousands more unfortunate people. Pay it forward: tell people to shut up when they have nothing to say. It's not really a big deal, man. There are different social rules when we are in an aggregation space, as in trying to help each other cut the wheat from the chaff informationally, and what you're asking could just as easily be put into search. Since we're on the computer.
tl;dr Lemmy is for being a hater
We all get more out of the internet if we value each other's time.
Well don't let me overcomplicate it, but make sure you have a system for keeping track of potential projects! I use Org Mode and Orgzly Revived but I can't recommend it.
But anyways just saying to make sure that whatever you add to a project fits your needs and workflow! I've had enough trouble running a few simple websites.
Yes, these guys are just giving you the quick overview. The enemy is colonialism, which has transformed into the neocolonial financial system. This includes all the core countries like USA, Israel, Western Europe, Japan, Canada, South Korea, and Australia: together they control the world's banks, international legal bodies, high-tech manufacturing, as well as the academic and journalistic training and distribution systems.
So the problem is actually much deeper than a few bad sources. The most valuable fields of study have been twisted by capitalism or basically just destroyed. Just take a look at how they've been dealing with climate change. Just because dealing with negative externalities on a business or society level is unprofitable or political suicide, we've been treating it like it can't be mitigated by constraints on manufacturing, and new solutions can't be invented. The Guardian has been posting the same stupid crap about spraying sulfur into the atmosphere for decades, and until recently they pretended investing in green energy + vehicles + industry could never be made profitable.
Well, Mastodon seems designed to have people give up on it. Austere interface, short charlimit, no federation of reactions, no search bar. I hate it so much. I recommend one of the Misskey forks. It's more "modern" than any mainstream social media website now.
Al-Jazeera has repeatedly taken the opportunity to reframe the relationship between Israel and the rest of the imperial core as a domineering one. They have repeatedly undercut the resistance by painting them as the aggressors, "only making things worse" for the Palestinians. This only serves the US narrative.
Dawg, I am at my wit's end with online communism posting. Why are we taking Qatari news media at face value in the year of our lord 2025
Completely beside the point, but it looks like you are posting from Mastodon, which is commendable.
I think it could really take off, as lots of people make servers for multiplayer games. Being able to have your own stats website for a specific community or online tourney would be cool. Maybe you could even expand it beyond Dota 2?
Oh that's cool! Whatever works really. I think it's neat how Funkwhale, Bookwyrm, or Peertube instances able to federate normally with other microblog style websites. You can even follow Lemmy communities and profiles on microblog sites lol, but if the admin hasn't set it up it's janky.
This is dope! Kind of stuff that could easily break containment. Does this work with Mastodon and its forks?

No points for guessing which airline this was. I feel like I see a serious Boeing-related incident at least weekly. How long can this go on, man?
ICE officials tout an unprecedented expansion of its 287(g) Program, driven by agreements that allow local officers to function as deportation agents during routine policing. But advocates warn such agreements come at a high cost to communities.
I'm starting to think these guys could need some sensitivity training, perhaps more training on how to identify when they're strangulating people too much.
Robert Malone and Martin Kulldorff are two of the most concerning picks.
