Even if you get rid of every nuclear power plant, governments will still pursue bombs.

You missed the point. OneDrive is the solution for my family. Why would they want to turn it off?
Alright, you do you. But I’m not going to turn it off for my family members who would be pissed if their computer broke and lost their files.
What about people who can’t be vaccinated?
That’s definitely a valid concern, I don’t think private enterprises should hold the secrets to protecting people from deadly diseases.
I’m amenable to the idea of getting first dibs on an idea you came up with (software, hardware, fiction…), but it’s been clearly abused to an insane degree by corporations who want to make a quick buck.
“Your body, your choice” has a limit once a super dangerous pathogen shows up and people start refusing the best tool we have to stop it for increasingly batshit reasons.
If you choose not to vaccinate, you’re directly putting everyone else you interact with at risk. So there’s a limit
Yeah, the lack of MTG players is really sad.
Idk, I’ve consistently seen that the instances defederated from (at least on lemmy.world) are either full of trolls or bigots.
Yeah, that’s definitely what I’m feeling. It’s a lot more irritating browsing here than Reddit.
Exactly! It goes like this to me:
“Billionaires and landlords are bad for society.” Hard agree!
“There should be less billionaires and landlords.” Okay, I agree with that too.
“We should kill them!” NO! FUCK NO!
I understand that if society is going to change for the better, that some people deliberately stand in the way and others will inevitably be forced to stop them. But there’s this new school of thought that says “My enemies are ontologically evil and all harm done towards them is morally good” which sickens me.
An act can be justified, necessary, and still immoral.
How would you recommend average users back up their content in case of hardware loss or failure?
As much as I’m skeptical about the unchecked power of corporations, I feel like Lemmy tech enthusiasts are completely hostile to the more mainstream kind of enthusiasm that actually like a well designed product.
Like, you can whine about the theoretical problems of a centralized service all you want, but if you’re not syncing with OneDrive (or an alternative, though those are kinda worse) on your Windows computer you’re literally sabotaging yourself. I could go on about other examples, but I’ll limit myself.
I don’t care if you think Linux is better. For the average person, Linux is incomprehensible. Now don’t get me wrong, I like Linux too! I use Linux for my servers, and it’s a great option to have. But the ideologues who push it to everyone are infuriatingly dumb, and serve only to push people out of the tech community.
As a whole, this site has too many ideologues, and not enough nuance. It’s like the whole “Reddit atheist” phenomenon but worse: people here are unquestionably critical to an absurd degree, and refuse to accept that there may be alternative viewpoints on what they’re saying.
And I’m not fond of capitalism either. I just think that the constant negativity is draining.
Oh, I’ve noticed that. Does the dev know about it?
What actually happens is that it normalizes making fun of people like him. I do feel the socialization angle is important, but remember that classroom culture is very much predicated on kids making fun of those who are “different”.
Here’s an issue that people won’t talk about that they need to: the right to commit crimes. Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s immoral, and the growing belief on multiple fronts that a criminal justice system should be “perfect” is what’s driving a lot of the erosion of privacy rights, among other things.
I joined lemmy.world because it was the biggest.
Defederation didn’t seem to be an issue at first, though I would like to know what exactly I’m missing out on (within reason… Not a fan of bigotry) But the performance issues are making me wonder if I should switch.
EDIT: I do kind of want to be on an instance that federates with both lemmy.world and beehaw. Any recommendations?
Only Up? More like only dashing face first into spikes as your jaded ego throws shade at you.
Because who is going to operate the servers?
Originally with RCS it was the carrier, but basically every carrier switched to using Jibe (by Google) for the backend.
And it sounds like Apple is going to operate their own as well.
