Count Olaf: “Going my way?”

The fun thing is that since Lemmy, piefed, etc are open source, theoretically anyone could learn how the algorithms work…if they had the programming skills to understand the code.

You are correctly understanding the downside of federation, i.e., instead of just having one “world news” community, you could have multiple. If you subscribe to them all, you could see duplicated posts across them all, or you might miss things if you only subscribe to one, etc… These are the downsides.

There are upsides to this model too. Let me illustrate with a story in recent history. The mods of  [email protected] were unhappy with some of their admin’s decisions. If this were reddit, they would be shit out of luck, because the admins are the same across all of reddit. Not so in the threadiverse! So the mods decided to hop instances to lemmy.world.

To make a long story short, now there are at least three “196” communities, with at least two of them thriving: the original 196, which moved back to lemmy.blahaj.zone by popular demand, the [email protected] community, which sprung up to serve all the people who wanted to stay on blahaj when the mods of the original comm left, and [email protected], which was the new home of the 196 mods for a short while, and persisted amongst those who wanted to stay on lemmy.world.

I feel like I’m describing the migration of the elves in the Simarilion across middle earth. But that is sort of what it was like. Reality imitating fiction and all that.

Yes, the community divided, but people were able to choose the communities and instances they wanted to participate in. And IMO the memes and shitposts are all the better because of it.

So tl;dr, yes this splits the audience, but in the end gives communities the freedom to choose which mods and admins they want, instead of getting stuck with unpopular mods or admins.

Technically (H₃O)⁺ and related species rather than naked protons in solution, but chemistry is just a series of models nested dolled in on each other trying to approximate an intelligible description of a complex physical world, so H+^ works fine in many contexts to get you correct answers, but not always.

Attention

That’s awesome. I would love to know what kind of podcast would have that!

I’m also thinking of how the ferengi do the ears thing but it is difficult to imagine this being done in a coequal way due to the sexism in their society.

Sometimes ppls mouths taste bad :/

Mouth is clamAV apt update?

Yo momma

Wtf

Yup! Just not immune to enshittifying

Unfortunately Firefox is also an ads company now, but still gecko-based browsers are the only good choice rn

In my experience there is no downside at all to community college.

The class sizes are low, the price is low, and the level of instruction can be very very high.

Then you transfer to a 4 year college later.

And if you get straight As in community college, you’ll be able to get in almost anywhere you apply…

Wait it is literally called “in limbo” (on OK Computer)

But yes proceed.

Cool, thank you!  Based on that I also found it on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5S/_(methodology)

These terms are often translated as ‘sort’, ‘set in order’, ‘shine’, ‘standardize’, and ‘sustain’.

Wait rinse aid is bad?
